@JamesGleick@pbump Nothing wrong with a can of Monster & some vitamin B. Don't forget the old stage trick of putting a little vaseline on your teeth so your lips don't stick when you get dry mouth.
Jack Smith’s frustrated prosecutors in the espionage case against Trump must be thinking every day about how they can get Eileen Cannon off the case. Do they have any hope? What is their plan? https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112677540120424053
So I just got back from a Menards run and I've noticed something fascinating:
Menards has always had a lot of store brands. But they're really pushing a new food brand called Marcella. Stuff like coffee, jams and jellies, prepared foods, sodas, etc. A lot of it is fairly unique - I bought a maraschino cherry cola on a whim and it was pretty great!
The weird part? They're pricing this in-house stuff higher than name brands. The soda was a tad more expensive than the Sprecher's next to it!
Should people convicted of serious crimes be barred from voting permanently (as in many Republican states) or should their rights be reinstated after they are released from prison?
Which crimes do you consider most serious: falsifying business records, tax fraud, or rape?
@JamesGleick 1. Please do 5 pushups and 10 situps. 2. Lets do the Montreal cognitive test now on live TV. 3. What are the names of the hosts of this debate? 4. Here are some questions from a grade 10 US history exam...5. When is your wife's birthday and what are the names of your children?
While looking into the small web, I came across the Tildeverse, which is a collection of sites that provide homepages and other services for each of its members, with a focus on being a tight knit community. Like look at this one site, and in particular it's "what's everyone up to" section: https://ctrl-c.club/
I think that's really cool, and it's the kind of communities I think the Internet needs more of.
“Artificial intelligence” (#AI) is the wrong term for the many services for which the term is being used. These are not generating intelligence. They are generating text or images or music—that is, information.
But it's not real information. It's ersatz* information. So when you hear "artificial intelligence,” I suggest that you substitute “ersatz information.”
This is of a piece with the discussion between Melanie Mitchell and Alison Gopnik that I just posted, at almost the precise second you posted your comment 😂
@the_other_jon it's been a while since I used it (I don't really do road trips often) but it was fantastic every time I used it.
I just planned the trip using the web UI and then navigated from each suggested charger to the next one, and it nailed the SOCs within a few percent every time
