Not really, since it’s now public knowledge that the entirety of Trump-positive media is bankrolled by the Kremlin.

One is a Russian asset intent on destroying America from within; the other is Kamala Harris. Your eyes must be getting real bad to not see that.

He washes his paws in bowls

That’s adorable 😂 Such a hygienic boy!

busting hundreds for the odd file you can prove they downloaded is expensive and takes forever.

And might well not be legally possible if all you have is an IP address, because lest we forget:

An IP is not an ID

There are alarm clocks that have a lamp built in, and instead of a loud alarm they play things like birdsong and rushing water at increasing volumes while brightening up the lamp to simulate dawn. I much prefer that to a nuclear launch siren, when I have to use an alarm. I don’t like to post shopping links because I’m not an ad machine, but if you search around for “gentle wakeup alarm light” you’ll definitely find some.

No :P

I think selling such skulls would be highly unethical.

Would you? Why? FWIW I agree that as long as there’s a living person who cares about the fate of the bones then selling them would be unethical, I’m just curious as to your specific reasons - like, what is the hypothetical you’re imagining, behind this statement? Are you contending it would be unethical even if nobody living cares, just due to the provenance? I can see why you would object if the former user of the anatomy believed in the sanctity of remains, for example.

I’m not sure I’d agree, but I’m not sure I’d disagree either. I’d need to think on it more. Right now, I’m leaning towards respecting the wishes of the dead as far as their remains go, because the universe is big and cruel and the only kindnesses are those we make for each other, so why shouldn’t that extend as far as we do?

How much could one milk cost? Ten dollars?

Sometimes, a shitpost is so shit but also so very post that I get trapped in a whirlpool of knowing it should be upvoted, but not wanting to. Congratulations?

Pick any of them, and repeat it over and over again. It’ll quickly become the weirdest word in the language, at least for a while.

maybe if they added flame traps

I think you might be thinking of Orcs Must Die! instead of basketball.

Golden Orb Weavers are common in Australia. I took this pic back in 2016 to send to some of my friends back in the US who find a kind of intense fascination in spiders (and also in avoiding them). Note the banding on the legs, same as yours:

Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn’t even want it to…

It’s a good hill. Stubbs’ Spicy BBQ for me, or I’m going hungry.

How about “it’s usually got at least a little poo on it”?

I mean I know it’s not particularly effective, but if it were true of something like ice cream I bet sales would drop. (Tangentially related: https://www.pedestrian.tv/news/coogee-bay-hotel-gelato-poo-2008/)

If your friends didn’t care, fine I guess, it was their wedding after all. If you don’t understand why this makes you look selfish and callous though, then you’re not the kind of person I’d want at any party, let alone a wedding.

It’s got more than a name, too: it’s got a Wikipedia page! Part of my job is IT support for normies, and I love sharing that with clients (because of course they’ve not heard of it). Usually gets a laugh, and I like to think they adopt the term and “rubber duck” things in their daily life thereafter.

You’re thinking of Machine Learning and neural networks. The first “L” in LLM stands for “Large”; what’s new about these particular neural networks is the scale at which they operate. It’s like saying a modern APU from 2024 is equivalent to a Celeron from the early 90s; technically they’re in the same class, but one is much more complicated and powerful than the other.
