I oppose all use of AI in the arts - it is an aggregation of human creative endeavours stolen and regurgitated to us, debasing our humanity for the profit of the few.
Hello! I grew up on Portland, so perhaps it is very regional. I think we used the term specifically for the large black kind that roll up, the other brown/grey ones that don't we called Wood Lice too!
If you're into HP Lovecraft - there's a brilliant dramatisation/reworking of his stories setup as a real investigative podcast called "The Lovecraft Investigations".
There are four seasons: 1, 3 and 4 are on BBC Sounds:
My 3 year old daughter was vomiting and not keeping liquids down. Phoned the non-emergency line and after a bit of a wait, spoke to them and went through the script.
Was told to go to A&E and we would be expected. After a short wait there, was led down to the children's ward and she was given a bed in her own room. She was put on a drip, had antibiotics and kept in overnight. By the end of the following day she was able to keep down water and some toast so was discharged.
Had a follow on call from a GP the next day, she was back to normal in a couple of days.

Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and the original edition of the Advanced Fighting Fantasy RPG - the lore, the artwork and tracking down the books missing from my collection!
This feels more like an opinion than a question.
