When I watch I’ll give you my answers to those questions. Admittedly I never thought of jaskier as marriage material. I thought of him more as a sweet Labrador that wanders the world after geralt wagging his tail.

A knitter with their needles and pattern is more or less Turing complete. I’m beginning to believe this is on purpose.

Culinary greatness can come from fusing two ingredients that would not normally be paired.

This was definitely not one of those times.

Damn, what’s your secret? All I’m getting served is perimenopause, arthritis trials and ADD stuff.

The influence of the algorithm has me thinking about buying a nanna trolley.

If he’s still in office when it’s finished, I’d put $5 on the ball room being hired out for high net worth weddings.

Forget about Venice, get married at the White House ballroom.

Well done, David! It’s great that you’re really thinking your communication style through. You’re nearly there!

I’m sitting in a physiotherapist waiting room wearing two left shoes of different colours.

And with the very obvious prejudices held against trans people, the ‘we’ll deal with it’ mentality seems completely fine on the outside.

And here was me thinking the justice system was supposed to be at least partly about rehabilitation. And that torture didn’t come into it. Because that’s what it is.

I seem to have started using them for plain language reprex. LLMs have become a rubber duck in my case.

Is it statistically correct?

This is a huge concern of mine.

FFS is right. We need an LLM to turn all the other LLMs off and then delete itself.

If anybody has a nice loud bell and access to a nun’s habit, I think the Portland protest could get a little louder.

Shoutout to the #rstats hive mind: does anybody have any go-to packages for iterative proportional fitting?

I’m turning up packages that haven’t been updated in years (maybe they’re perfect); but I’m surprised there isn’t anything more recent coming in my search.

What I dislike most about the AI summary at the top of each search is that I no longer seem to get many (if any) results from stackoverflow.

So now I have a useless and often misleading summary and the algorithm no longer points to the gold mine.

Sample size of one - so maybe it’s just me.

I learned Latin and a bit of Greek. World saving powers have failed to appear, sadly.

If it’s not adding positively to your life then I say bin it with no regrets. Your happiness and wellbeing is so much more important than this place..!

Also I am desperate for a coffee again - maybe next week?

Thoughts and prayers to all Queenslanders who are about to endure two weeks of heinously early meetings until we southerners adjust to your temporal distortion.
