Always learn something when trying to resolve these clues.

I hadn't heard of Bluegrass nor did I know that it was a genre of its own. I would have just lumped it into country music.

Saw that. My first thought was that if I had that sort of money, I hope I wouldn't that sort of person to spend money on that sort of thing.

It was always hard to tell if anybody was looking. This site does show you that you got a respectable 84 views

My initial thought when I saw "stray", is this an anagram?
Take "D" for "dog starting" and "to tire" because it has a convenient 6 characters, ignore the question and exclamation marks, mixed them up and get "dottier".

It definitely how I feel, but That's not right!.

Glad the CCC is back, may take me a while to get the hang of them again.

@Graeme_Grant

Thanks for the links.

The first video was interesting and it's the first time I've seen/read about the working of AI.

I've booked marked the second video, it seems a bit heavy for 17:30 on a Friday :).

Do I want to learn more? It's definitely whet my appetite and retirement is still 8 years away, but do I have it in me to learn this? probably not on a Friday evening :).

(apologies to realJSOP for going so far off topic of his OP)

I hope CCC gets up and going again. I used to enjoy the daily CCC, even though I was hopeless at them.

@realJSOP said in More Fun With AI:

if it's leaning heavily toward being sycophantic (as AI is prone to do).

I told it stop all the crap, I didn't need to it to keep saying "Oh that is an excellent question" and "what a wonderful insight". And to give it its due, it actually has. I now get answers without as much BS.

Unrelated. I highlighted the above text in your post and it came up with a "Quote" popup menu. and automatically put it into a response box.

How cool is that?

Just as an aside. If you are still using MS Money there is a replacement Free Personal Finance Manager. | KMyMoney[^] . I think the two products are nearly identical. I used to use it some time back and it looks like it is still supported. There used to be a conversion utility with it to import your MS Money database.

As we can't see whether your hand up is or not, I'm assuming it's not. So here's a link to register for the Microsoft Build: AI Day [^] You can hear about AI for a full day ;P

I've read three of his anthologies so long ago I can't remember them. When I read Starship Troopers I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I was given 2 or 3 bags of books which has at least 2 Heinlein novels in it, these are on my reading list for this year. Yep, also looking forward to getting acquainted.

Who would have thought this would come to pass? The Far Side comic strip by Gary Larson from Sunday, March 31, 2024 | TheFarSide.com[^] It's even more bizarre that there are gamers who are making way more.

I'm quite a fan of the Alien/Predator/Prometheus movies. Prey didn't have much of a story either but I still enjoyed it. Hopefully this adds a bit more to the AvP universe.

I liked Bloodhound Gang, mine used to be "Hooray For Boobies (.)(.)". The neighbours had a good laugh. Son set it to "Robocop Charging Port".

It's now just after 9:00pm and the temp is down to 26C (with a feels like 31C). Today we had mid to high 30s (37 I think). Last Christmas (surprise surprise it has hot) our air-con gave up the ghost and six sweltering weeks later we got a new one installed. And guess what, yep, the pump in the air-con stopped working 3 days ago. Luckily I've got a mate who does this sort of thing for a living and is fixing it very early in the morning. We would have done it yesterday but the roof cavity in the afternoon is not a good place to work in. Shouldn't complain, we've had some severe storms this last week. Lots of places on the Gold Coast still without power. On the plus side it's too hot to do anything, other than sit in the pool with a few cold ones. It's sooooo hard to take.

This is why I avoided ClosedXML and work directly with OpenXML. I didn't like the idea of an update breaking something. This is an alternate suggestion if it feasible for you, I used the following snippet to build my own function: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7208914/how-do-you-convert-excel-to-csv-using-openxml-sdk[^]
