It's a much-maligned sport. It's a lot better than football.

They're good for dunking but the ginger burns my gob. But Sainsburys do a ginger-free ginger biscuit that works just as well without the pain. At least they used to. I think they were called Oaty Rounds. Very cheap too.

Is it even possible to build a working replica of the human brain
I just don't think it is
It's too infinite

I mean can you build infinity

This is what I'm thinking anyway

It's not infinite, but I think it might be a case of "if my brain was simple enough to understand, I'd be too simple to understand it."

As a gen z kid, I realise we take a lot of our culture from millennials. I wonder if gen alpha will take their culture from gen z.

I'm a believer that anything can be made in a lab if given enough time, money and smart people. The brain is no exception. AI is getting very close to being sentient which is the last hurdle in developing a replica of the human brain.

Ah well, if nobody has to be able to understand how the replica works, then AI might be able to do it. And I was forgetting the kind of teamwork where each individual works on a different part and then they somehow bolt it all together. So yes, I suppose it could be done.

That's what I'm wondering

I'm not saying I find her attractive but Anita Dobson has a great face and she can carry off being old really well imo
