@redheadranting It is important to know that “best” on a product only legally means “as good as all the others”. The real superlative is “better”.

So while the Best By date may have passed, the “Better By” date is still far in the future.

You’ll be fine.

[Kirk Kerekes @Cocoader]

@Jexxie Good to know.

Appreciate the heads up.

@theerealtao Truth is what works whether you believe in it or not.

Pick one simple thing and do it. Do not be distracted by a complicated choice— just eeny-many-mo it.

OR

Apply pressure to your Pericardium 6 (PC6 or Nei Guan/Inner Gate) pressure point — 3 finger widths up the inside of your forearm from the wrist crease.

Supposed to lower cortisol.

[Kirk Kerekes @Cocoader]

No, I am.

Ha!

I injured my cornea in Iraq, laceration and ulcer. A very cool PA saved my eye and returned me to duty.

Last week it started hurting again, 8 years after the original injury. A very cool VA optometrist (not ophthalmologist) diagnosed and treated it.

I hate getting old.

Not local to the site.

Global issue.

The absolute lack of reading skills and comprehension on the former bird site is startling.

You should have used AI to design the app and its security.

A competent AI would not design a system that:

1. Rejects a 20 character random password because it doesn’t contain a member of a small set of punctuation characters.

2. Rejects that same password with the punctuation character appended because it is now “too long”.

3. Puts the user through a time consuming identity verification ritual and then requires that the user log in again in the same session.

4. Promote the use of a QR code checkin-in system that doesn’t actually exist at the chosen lab location.

5. Inform the user that the chosen lab location does not do drug testing, while the location has drug testing hours stenciled on the front door.

These are just the highlights of the user experience.

Dibs!

Physics has gone crazy. Now there's a theory that in the entire universe, there is only one electron.

@theerealtao Note that the term “agnostic” was coined in 1869, and specifically means “not known/knowable”.

An agnostic is saying “I don’t know”, which is an honorable reply to any question.

@godofprompt @MitziFetch First prompting tip that actually looks useful.

[Kirk Kerekes @Cocoader]

@TechOperator Problem solved.

@The_FJC Have you examined the uniforms used in televised sports?

The action is the intent.

Many states have multiple subcultures (which often cross state lines) with different accents, specialized vocabularies, food preferences and politics.

Some of these can trace their history back to other countries, some appear to have sprouted spontaneously from from the fertile earth of American wackiness.

@MichaelGrahamSC Probably the igniter. A $20-$25 dollar part on Amazon. Easy to replace yourself.

Search on Amazon using the stove model number.

@RiderofWolves Ice cream is good for you.

People who regularly eat ice cream live longer.

So, I asked Grok for suggestions on your particular problem, and he responded with a rather lengthy and detailed roster of muting terms. I suggest trying a few and see how they work:

—————-
Suggested X Auto-Mute Keywords/Phrases for Arrogantly Ignorant Eurosnobs
(Especially in size/dick-measuring, geography, “superior Europe” threads)

High-Impact Single Words & Short Terms
• Murica
• Amerimutt
• Amerimutts
• Yanke
• Seppo
• Burgerland
• Flyover
• McDonalds (in context with America bashing)
• Texas-sized (when used mockingly)
• “In Europe”
• “We Europeans”
• “Proper country”
• “Tiny hands” (Trump-related snark spillover)
• Eurosnob
• Continentals (used superiorly)
Useful Phrases (X supports longer phrases)

• “in my country”
• “civilized country”
• “actual country”

Pro Tips for Effective Muting
• Use the exact phrase option in X mute settings where possible (e.g., “In Europe we”).
• Add common misspellings/variations: Murika, Amurica, Yankies.
• Combine with account muting for repeat offenders.
• If you want to go nuclear, also mute geography flex terms like “Liechtenstein”, “Luxembourg”, “Andorra” when they’re used in “see how many fit in Texas” reversals.
