    AI works well on structured processes like code seems to struggle with the nuances of human to human interaction.

    A.I Created images and video

    Conversely I know someone who rights code and works for a company developing apps and programs; he uses AI all the time to check lines of code for errors, for it to suggest simpler code structures and to check thousands of lines of code for errors.

    Dowsing

    No, No and No. Do people find water with the rods or just are tuned onto the lay of the land so to speak and subconsciously move the rods?

    UK import duty on camping goods (tent) from Canada

    Some people on the forum have claimed it back so you could try the form with HMRC. I’m looking forward to mine, did you get the standard pole length? I went short pole for bikepacking and ease of packing into my dry bags.

    Pine martens

    Fantastic. I’m looking forward to the population increasing enough in the New Forest that sighting like that become commonplace.

    UK import duty on camping goods (tent) from Canada

    Track and sign evaluation

    Thanks. It’s a never ending subject and takes you off into many directions, tangents and quite literal rabbit holes. The evaluations highlight strengths and areas to improve on where you have adequate knowledge but not the depth required to score a bit higher or if something obscure come...

    Just add water.....

    I don’t have any skin is this game (everyone west of Dorset is a bit weird anyway) but cream as a base makes sense - if the cream is firmer than the jam. Otherwise basic engineering applies and the firmer jam goes on first, especially if someone is using cheap skate non clotted cream.
