Coincidences
Story 2I've been working in Birmingham since my dad died. I wanted to keep my mum company. It's been about 18 months in total. I stay at my mum's house.
I am a registered resident in Hove though, maybe 200 miles away (I don't fucking know how many actual miles it is). My dentist is in Hove, and in the UK we have an NHS x Dental collab situation.
If you fail to meet your mandated schedule of visits, you can get struck off a dentist's books and it can be a long time on a waiting list to get another dentist.
Because I was in Birmingham and due at a client meeting, I had had to postpone a scheduled check up. I did it in good time, and chose a new date.
When that new date came around I was once again unable to attend as I needed to be in York, so I had to postpone a second time.
I got warned that time. Flagged up as wavering in my commitment and procrastinating with my tithe.
It's NHS linked, but dentists are private practices and you have to pay. If you want to be on the books you have to pay for your alloted appointments. If not... you're not a profitable part of their business. You're taking up a revenue space on the database.
Rebooked. Each time I postpone it's months between the bookings.
Booking 3 comes around and last moment there is an emergency and I cannot get back to Hove.
I get my final warning. Miss one more...that's it. You're out.
By the way, this story is really boring. Not like the thrill-a-minute bag of shit one.
I was going to be spending December in Jamaica this year (not anymore), but my passport was in that danger zone of 10 months left where you can find you get refused even though it's technically still valid.
So the whole dentists thing has gone on for a about a year, and my latest rebooking, at 12.45 today was agreed about three months ago.
About a week or so ago I decided to go ahead and renew my passport.
I did the process, uploaded a pic, paid, and sent off my old passport.
They say it can take up to six weeks.
Two days later I'm notified my application is approved.
Two days later I'm notified my passport is being printed.
Two days later, it's in the post
Then I get a Royal Mail message notifying me my new passport is being sent special delivery and must be signed for...
And they tell me it's coming between 11.30 and 1.30 today.
Exactly when I need to be at the dentist.
And honestly, I keep a VERY open, uneventful schedule. Out of literally billions of delibery slots, the only two things I am obliged to attend to in literally months and months of easy retired living is
1. Pay my tithe to my dentist
2. Sign for my passportBoth are required, at exactly the same time.
It blows my mind.

Listen, fuck off I know it's a boring story. I'm logging (< pun) coincidences for scientific appreciation, not writing titillating soft porn magazine articles.
- Cool story, a bit long, but I prefer it to the first one :)OBBTKN
- Damnit. Wheres the ending.
This was well told, I'm on the edge of my seat. What happened*?
*Unless it involves bin liner sacks again in which case...webazoot - How it ended is boring. My coparentee had to hang around for the passport delivery. Story 3 is good. I promise.Horp
- less coincidences more sod's lawhans_glib
- Thanks for the resolution. I'm glad it turned out well even if it wasn't dramatic.webazoot

At my wife's recommendation, I was thinking of changing my work hours from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Bugger, I have clients who also work past 3 p.m.
Let's see what I can come up with to explain this to her without ruining our relationship. lol
- You can still do it. Everyone has differnt work hours. They'll get over it.HAYZ1LLLA
- And of course... right now it's 22°C, a beautiful and sunny autumn day, superb!OBBTKN
- I get it Hayzilla, but in autumn I need my 10 or 11 hours of work, along with spring, it's crazy busy for me :(OBBTKN
- I work 7:30am - 4pm, anyone who emails me after 4 gets a reply the next day. We also schedule work out weeks in advance so there is less pressure. Short lunchesslappy

Had an interesting Facebook marketplace experience over the course of the past week. We were selling a small boat we've had for about 15 years...have hardly used for about 5...so time to get rid of it. We originally paid about $900 for it...it's banged up a bit and I needed the storage space so listed it for $50.
A guy contacted my wife and asked if we'd take $30. We told him to GTFO. I said $50, take it or leave it...he agreed.
The wife asks for payment before pickup...he goes silent. Then asks if he can pickup at midday on Sunday...again I say GTFO - come at 9am or after 7pm as it was a nice day and I didn't want to be stuck at home. Again we ask for payment.
The guy then contacts my wife and says can he pick up at 11am - she says no problem, we'll leave the boat in our front yard...gives him our address and as he hasn't paid yet, to leave the cash UNDER THE FRONT DOOR!!
So out we go...I have no idea about this new plan, and of course when we get home, the boat is gone and no cash. I say to the wife 'WTF is going on'? She tells me her plan and I almost fall over...now my wife is lovely, but a bit too trusting at times.
Anyway, at this stage my eyes are turning red with rage...I find the guy's profile - see that he's a 'digital creator' in the local Indian community here...so I post a message on one of his IG posts 'how's the canoe going mate?'.
I then send him a filthy facebook messenger note...warning him if he doesn't pay for the canoe in the next 30 minutes, I'll be outing him on all his platforms as a thief...as we had the entire thing on CCTV with a clear view of his face.
The money landed in my wife's account about 5 minutes later.
- Well done! Tremble, oh boat robbers! ;)
And don't worry, your wife is a good person, take care of her.OBBTKN - :)BusterBoy
- Just to clarify...it wasn't the money that got me angry...just the fact this turd came onto our property and brazenly stole something was what got my goat.BusterBoy
- Wait, he stole your goat too?? What an a-hole!Akagiyama
- I once sold a shitty set of BMX handlebars for £5 on FB Marketplace. Local cash handover only. Guy turns up and immediately says he only has £3. I'm like FFS...Horp
- And then "yeah, whatever. £3" He then hands me a £5 note and wants change. I told him I didn't have change. He said "well okay what else can you add?"Horp
- I say "nothing, the bars cost £5" and he says "but I got you down to £3. How about throwing in that frame too?" I said "how about you pay the £5?" And he saidHorp
- "I can't. I need the bus fare"
What the fuck is up with basic mental processing these days?Horp
- Well done! Tremble, oh boat robbers! ;)

I just spent ten minutes getting seriously pissed off that I couldn't do a monthly payment via a website, effing and blinding after checking and re-checking and refreshing and trying in new private tabs, different browser and every fucking thing I could think to try it to get it to reset the session or whatever other piece of fuck it might be that was making it not wor... oh. I'm behind a VPN, aren't I?
I turn off VPN and it works straight away.
Right. Nngh.
I need to get split-tunneling set up, because this shit's beginning to be a real pain in the arse.
Well done, UK.
- It might've helped if the site, which is a bit flaky sometimes, provided a useful security response other than "something's wrong".Nairn

- still yet to figure it out. the thought of maintaining a whitelist across browsers and 3 computers enough to keep me toggling for now.kingsteven
- Ouch! Remember. There's nothing in this world that politicians can't screw up!OBBTKN
- Yep. When I go to listen to anything on the BBC Radio and forget I've the VPN on I have to spend about ten minutes refreshing the site to let me back in.webazoot
- I installed 1VPN into chrome as a free extension. Only use it for QBN (imgur) and it's super easy.Ianbolton

Artificial Intelligence
as slopish as this is it's still 1000x better than anything Hollywood can do and I'd watch this as long as there was some human element to it - voice actors, script etc.
- I mean full length films must be a year or two away if that._niko
- no they are not. this is still crap, just got better hiding it.sted

- AI will continue to be fantastic until we realise how far we've let our standards slipMrT
- I challenge anyone to show me CGI better than AI when it comes to natural human movement. CGI is still in uncanny valley. it might add an extra arm_niko
- but it still looks more real than CG_niko
- AI video literally is CGI though isn't it? This is sort of my point; AI is OK against an already-poor benchmark.MrT
