Apparently my mother-in-law is a genus of fish within the field of ichthyology

MCU has fucked up movies for me. I'll be watching Rear Window or The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and be waiting until the last credits scroll, just to be sure there's no spoilers for the next in the series.

@CodeBoom Stop looking for employment and just build Tinder for jobs. It sounds like an excellent idea. If I had any money, I would invest.

I currently train in Karate, Krav Maga and Tang Soo Do. Every one of the chief instructors is named some variant of the Christian name Robert!

Are people called Robert, Robbie, Rob and Bob just born martial artists?

Need to partition and format a flash drive:
Windows - "Yeah I can partition but can't format."
ChromeOS - "What USB drive, nothing to see here."
gparted on Linux - "Yeah I'll do whatever the fuck you want, just make sure you know what you're doing."
Things shouldn't be this hard.

I'm not sure on how the price match system works, but these photos are from my closest @Tesco and closest @AldiUK , and there's definitely not a match.

@martinohanlon This is NY. Many streets run on a diagonal. Looking at LA, there are plenty of N-S streets but New Orleans is a mess (Although nothing compared to UK cities.)

I think it's all bullshit unless you're ordering a pigeon to be at a certain location.

In movies and shows, I often hear one character say to another "Sweep the north side of the building." or "Meet me on the east side of the parking lot."
They do this without a compass. Honest question. Is there anyone who knows where geographic north is, when in a strange place?

What will get censored is open to political interference and will be decided by context-blind algorithms. This will chill public debate.

Why do you oppose the spy clause in the Online Safety Bill?

Hear from ORG member @ceruleansounds on why encryption is important in a healthy democracy.

Nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, and that there is mole inside CTU

@jhaydenrose @amazon my dms are open

[Marc Scott @Coding2Learn]

Yeah, definitely a movie released in 2022. How hard is it to store correct metadata for a movie @amazon

[Marc Scott @Coding2Learn]

Why can't people in the media industry just be nice people, so that I don't have to stop watching really good movies and tv shows?

I don't know what Morph did to piss of Hades, but this is his life now.

What if ChatGPT was your Prime Minister.

He makes Mark Zuckerberg look like the most empathic human on the planet.

Oh, and to whomever directed this, and informed the PM that a dead eyed stare into the void was the way to go, please consider a career change.

In my first Party Political Broadcast, I wanted to update you on some of the work we're doing in Government 👇

It's more than just that. There's a genuine skill that is being developed in writing prompts for large language models to provide satisfactory results. I can imagine a future where there are job titles such as "AI communications specialist".

How might we reframe the statements on how students will use AI to plagiarize- instead expending the energy to get the correct citation(s) to specify “AI assisted”, and teach how to improve upon “mentor texts?” #TeacherTechKnowledge

[Marc Scott @Coding2Learn]

@ydcp Of course I can.

[Marc Scott @Coding2Learn]

I'm now a firm republican. Nothing to do with who is right or wrong in this familial spat. I'm just tired of it dominating the conversation, when we have more important things to worry about. Let's just de-fund them, impose proper inheritance tax, and elect a head of state.
