Okay, we're going to get to this point sooner or later

What do we call a non-biological intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is wrong, because they're actually intelligent, nothing artificial about it

Machine Intelligence doesn't work because fleshy people could also be described as biological machines

I'm going with non-biological intelligence at the moment because I can't think of anything better, any suggestions?

@squirrel it's true, maple is a non-biological intelligence

@HTHR@cybre.space hmm... tough question, do they perhaps have 6 sides?

@debugninja@banana.dog @Jo yeah, it's a big heavy chain you hit people with if you want to block them

@rey @Jo ah yeah, here in the UK it's more of a "will a no win no fee solicitor take the case" thing as people don't usually represent themselves

also all Laphroaig, but especially the Quarter Cask

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is yummy

@Jo tired of your old banhammer?

try the blockchain!

@Jo oh of course they're into blockchain

@rey @Jo far as I'm concerned as seriously not a legal expert get a lawyer if you're getting sued, you can't get sued for someone slipping there

@rey @Jo oh you're not, far as I'm aware there have been precisely 0 cases where someone's been sued for not clearing a path they're not legally required to clear properly

@Jo oh yeah, I'd assume it's all garbage but I'm still not entirely sure what my local council actually does

It appears to be sweet fuck-all

@Jo quite possibly, yeah

Either that or they just don't have any money at all

@rey @Jo advised by probably the daily mail going on about how "elf and safety gone mad" and how people suing people for minor injury is on the rise and such

It's 100% bullshit

But we're also not legally required to do anything about paths not on our land

@Jo town council probably, as they own the public footpaths (for the most part)

@Jo no, we SAY we don't clear it for that reason

We actually don't clear it because we don't give a shit about our neighbours beyond that required to keep up appearances

@squirrel you are!

@squirrel @alice@elekk.xyz well, I've always wanted to go see some penguins where they live, so if I manage to arrange that then I'll pick you up on the way there

@squirrel @alice@elekk.xyz hmm... you might be small enough to fit in a FedEx 25 kilo box
