Can anyone tell me how to get DALL-E to draw a pyramid with only 10 balls in it?

@40PercentGerman @MaxJLHardy I use a Kull spaetzle schwob which I bought in Schwabisch Hall about 40 years ago. They are still available.

We're having Spätzle for lunch, which means we get to use one of my favourite kitchen devices, the old Spätzlehobel. I'm assuming these are found in more south German kitchens, am I wrong? Are there other region specific kitchen utensils out there?

.@santanderuk Is there a Santander iPhone app that works? I have found 3 and they all crash.

@Gett A couple of times recently I’ve had a booked ride cancelled by the driver at the last minute so I am giving up on Gett.

Pondering the wildest things that have happened to me in teaching. 1. Got a call from reception to say my dalek had arrived. A 6ft one had been left there for me. A parent had made it for child’s homework. I had not, in fact, asked for a dalek. The homework was about apostrophes

That sweet rush of relief when you rediscover a large chunk of text from an older grant that will fit perfectly with the latest application. It's amazing how quickly I forget what I've done - need a modular filing/tagging system for all this stuff. Any good software out there?

Italian cyclist Michael Guerra uses his knowledge of physics and aerodynamics to adopt a “plank” position and overtake his competitors.

@thompsonneil15 @rimc123 @SpokesLothian I agree.
