Me, in the local Apotheke: have you got anything for allergies? Assistant: here is royal jelly.
Me: no thanks, have you got any actual medicine?
Assistant, disdainfully: *chemical* medicine?
Me: yes, you know, the stuff that actually does something

The people praising this probably thought "It's so wholesome that he beat cancer and then won seven Tours de France! A miracle!". All forms of cheating debase the sports we love.

I won't tag the person directly, because I get enough shitty comments and don't want to draw any onto the person involved, but here's a little story about how social media does have genuinely good, kind, people on it. 1/

For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."

People being mad at burrito taxi makes no sense; they can't walk, they have no powers of locomotion or other ambulatory abilities - they need a taxi to get to me. Think about how burritos work before you embarrass yourselves any further.

I saw a poster at a conference once (15 years ago, I think) that had a single bar chart,with two columns: counts of yes and no from respondents to an extraordinally sexist question (which I've thankfully forgotten). Literally two bars taking up almost the whole poster.

So, you know, could be worse

The AI Overview text reads: "No, Robert Culp is not in Season 10 of Columbo. While he did appear in four episodes of the show, his last appearance was in the 1990 episode "Columbo Goes to College," which is part of the season considered to be Season 10, but not actually part of the original run. Season 10 is also known as the "revival" season. In "Columbo Goes to College", Culp played the father of one of the student murderers, rather than playing the murderer himself. "

And let's ask again. Ok, so he's not in Season 10, but he is in an episode that is in Season 10.

Glad that's all cleared up then.

The AI Overview text reads: "Yes, Robert Culp appears in the first episode of Columbo Season 10, "Columbo Goes to College", but not as the murderer. This was his fourth and final appearance on the show, and the only time he played a character other than the killer, according to Wikipedia. He plays Jordan Rowe, the father of one of the college student murderers."

let's ask again! This time it gets it right.

A Google AI answer to the question "is Robert Culp in season 10 of Columbo?". The text reads "No, Robert Culp is not in Season 10 of Columbo. While he did appear in four episodes of the show, his last appearance was in the 1990 episode "Columbo Goes to College," which is not part of Season 10.

Me, watching season 10 of Columbo: hmm, is that Robert Culp again?
Google: no, but he is in <episode I am currently watching, which is in season 10>, which isn't in season 10; episode <which is in season 9> is in season 10, but he's not in that episode.

It's great stuff this.

A set of blackboards showing upcoming events at a local pub. First, a quiz, then target shooting, then an acoustic jam session. Finally, on Sunday, they'll be Hanging Johnny
