Cupid stunt.

Lack of accountability is one of the hallmarks, for sure.

The band öOoOoOoOoOo is a bit unwieldy.

Supposedly pronounced as “caterpillar” in whatever language you prefer.

I’m pretty sure I saw this exhibition in Las Vegas. I assumed it was the more famous one when I entered, but the more I saw, the more I realised all the bodies were Chinese. Closer inspection of the promotional material put the clues together.

It was fascinating because human anatomy is cool, but knowing they weren’t voluntary donations really soured the experience.

Didn’t his kid also have a lot to do with the transformation?

Compared to newborn marsupials we’re cutie-patooties.

I wish I was capable of napping.

A camelbak vest under a regular jacket would probably do the trick.

In Westminster-like systems, I believe this would be loss of supply, where it’s expected to trigger an election. It seems to work well as an incentive for governments to do their bloody job, but I’m sure they would find a way to abuse or ignore it.

That at least serves a purpose. Or we could use the Shavian characters and slowly transition to a phonetic writing system.

That soy filler is the bane of my existence. I’m intolerant to legumes, and I’m pretty sure soy additives are the reason almost all manufactured foods affect me. In theory, I should be able to eat bread, but it’s very rare to find any that doesn’t include soy.

I’m pretty sure all my “gluten free” family are actually reacting to the soy too.

The opposition party’s equivalents for actual ministers.

My family insist on using the fireplace because they have some backward ideas about it being natural and cheaper because there’s so much wood around here. They use it way more than necessary, and use more wood than necessary, so a load runs out very fast and it often gets so hot they have to open the windows.

I like the aesthetic, but it’s a massive waste of time and money. Sourcing wood is expensive. Stacking it takes a lot of time, during which I could be doing productive work.

I’m sure the smoke is affecting our health, too. If I go for an early run on a cold morning the smoke hanging in the air makes it much harder to breath.

I might understand if there wasn’t a very good heat pump right there. The running costs of it are barely noticeable.

Wait, this isn’t even a new competition, and it’s basically resurrected soviet propaganda? Truly bizarre.

I’ve done fact checking on LLM models for work before, and it quickly becomes evident that many models rely on Wikipedia as a heavily weighted source of truth.

If LLMs have even a small role in producing Wikipedia content, the ouroborus of declining quality will accelerate.

That’s my strategy. If I add up all the printing I’ve done at libraries, schools, work, etc. it would cost a fraction of buying my own.

They take up so much space that can be used for more useful things, too.

I’m unfortunately very sensitive to those particles from laser printers. They’re really good at triggering migraines, so I could never have a laser printer at home.

I think she’s just a bit cold, and wondering if she should put on a tshirt because he looks pretty comfortable.

Lots of technology has reached a good-enough plateau, so I think we’ll start to see some left-field ideas. I’m just going to say realistic robot pets.
