JFC I wish circumstances didn't mean this very same article was germane every 3 months … Uber's never ever going to get meaningfully punished for this …

OMG I'm only up to page 7 and … they wrote ONE PAGE about how to implement the PSG and considered it done?? WTF?

(This is so readable, I love it!)

I didn't know what this was so I googled it and was astonished to find it consists only of ingredients I can actually eat, which is vanishingly rare. Cooked it a few days ago and definitely will be doing so again - THANK YOU OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!! 💚💚💚

Antihistamine nasal spray prevents COVID-19, study finds

I spotted this about nasal antihistamines the other day too -

This is so true. I get my disability support workers to make veggie stock for me because there are zero commercial stocks that are edible and cooking without stock sucks, and even though we have the process down to a very fine art and I don't even do it myself it still sucks and is a pain!

Sighs in Australian …

Short for Julie (f) or Julian (m) I think? Certainly in Australia

That is 100% unfair of the universe, but please keep that heart beating - the world is so much better for having you in it <3

Today the google AI told me that if the largest size of Correct Toes (a toe spreader thingy) was too small I should use a larger size … truly galaxy brained …

My GP said they were using one of these the last time I went. I don't trust it at ALL but I was afraid that if I said "no" that the GP would be unhappy

I have a bunch of complex disabilities that make doctors sigh, and I'm non-binary

I didn't feel like I could afford this "no" too. I consented 🤷

We are VERY close to 29,000 responses now. :)

If the gender binary doesn't know what to do with you, please click here: survey.gendercensus.com The survey closes on 30th August.

Data is so much fun /genuine 💚🌱✨

You're amazing! Looks like a "no" for that hypothesis then, unless I'm reading it wrongly?

The survey has been around a while now, I wonder if these are people who are primarily coming back over and over? Because it tails off pretty fast as the ages increase … can you test that easily with the data you have?

I look forward to it 💚

Gender census time - us old pharts (in internet years) are always underrepresented so come be measured 💚

You do have really good opinions about biceps occasionally tho, gotta pay that bit….

yay!!💚💚

Why must you be logical 😂💚

I have a playlist in my phone called "MHA" which I ask Siri to play at least once a day and it fucks up the recognition about 2/3 of the time, hearing MJA most frequently, but a bunch of other things too. I keep meaning to rename it but I'd forget what it was called and where is my flying car damit?

Sorry, what's a lottery task? I understood all the rest! So cool to see research from so long ago …

Ohhh, that's a cunning idea … I was thinking of maybe doing similar but I don't know anybody …

I have no words...

I usually read the articles because walls of text > videos for most purposes, but WTF Veo! 100% worth the video version!!

As far as I can tell, there's no universal way to turn it off for viewers. Took me ages to work out what was going on, they're SO AWFUL. Vastly prefer foreign language audio + subtitles, at least then you get the emotions coming through!

Yeah. My presentation was shortness of breath which is apparently also quite common? I do get heartburn too, but less frequently. Also never connected the shortness of breath to possible reflux until I started H2s for MCAS and it "magically" disappeared …

Hilarious idea and 💚💚💚, but also I am imagining … you think I have trouble finding the edges of doorframes with my shoulders/hips/elbows now, imagining the utter hilarity-frustration-horror having to navigate a scabbard-cane through as well! You'd either be falling down laughing or just sobbing 😂

It doesn't say what any of the subjects *did* with the LLM. Surely there's a range between "write me an essay with these characteristics" and "I'm thinking about this essay, this is my suggestion, can you help me polish the outline before I write it?" Looking forward to similar but w/ more nuance

That's hilarious! It never occurred to me (and my Aussie accent) that they even *could* rhyme, I always wondered why on earth that weird phrase existed 😂

Ohh, this is super interesting! I have occasionally, yes, which is probably a lot in the grand scheme of things since you don't actually use someone's pronouns a lot when you're talking to them rather than about them
