Came across a gem today: catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/00461...
"Soup is to a dinner what the porch or gateway is to a building... As a nation we have been accused of indifference and lukewarmness towards soup."
With riveting chapters:
* Fruit Soups
* Cereal Soups
* Soups Which Are Soups-Plus
Did I just watch two Silksong Any% speed runs? Yes. That game has its claws (pincers? proboscises?) in me pretty good.

Replacing a carburetor on an easily accessible engine is about as "mechanic" as I want to get, but It's certainly a good feeling bringing something back to life.
Does North Star Diner count?

If you throw the bat at the pitch and make contact, is it a strike or a hit?

23.04.2025 22:25 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Right, the actual service seems pretty neutral: fingerprinting is part of law enforcement, and it doesn't make a huge difference whether it's done by a county or a city. I think the larger question is re: budget & scope -- who do you *want* the money going to, and does duplication-of-effort matter?
15.04.2025 22:15 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My understanding is that this funds fingerprint services at the county level -- if it doesn't pass, each police department (Seattle, Shoreline, etc.) would need to fund and operate fingerprint operations separately. Passing it saves each dept some money, and helps build a larger, regional database.

I'm a pretty big skeptic of Gen AI. However, there are circumstances where it is a viable tool. This is one such case: A dad uses Gemini to help him advocate for his son's rare genetic disorder.
Besides being a good example of using AI, It's also just excellent storytelling.

Starting to build out a set of followers.
I've already followed several accounts I was following on twitter, now I'm looking at who you all follow. Any suggestions for comics / tech / geek / gaming / audio?
