So is it still possible to give a style prompt? I haven’t dabbled with it in ages. When it started out, you’d tell it you wanted, say, the style of Rembrandt but with a dash of horror or something. Can you still do that?

Mine did that years ago. But when you change your address, you have to go to the webpage, which tells you to use the app, which only links to the webpage, which opens the app…
Anyway, I had to ring them.

You’ve got coffee shrinkflation? In Germany it’s still 500 grams, but expensive, of course. I only buy the brands that are on offer.

Not surprised. I sat on the train with a couple of guys who’d been to a conference of like-minded twats and the statement “why should parents get benefits when they have disabled kids? They knew the risk” is still burned into my brain.

The fossil fuel industry wants more nuclear because it takes a lot of money and a lot of time to build. It gives them more time to make more money. Renewables are too fast and too cheap.
