okay but as a camry driver that "Toyota World Standard ATF" box in the back is concerning me, like seeing the shadow of Death in the moonlit trees

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

it is very telling that “BIOS”, in addition to being an acronym, is also the Greek word for “life”. meanwhile, “UEFI” is, of course, ancient Greek for “unified extensible firmware interface”

I definitely feel more at home in the PNW than Long Island. There's actually more than two, (2), two of them, persons here who actually likes cherry coca cola and doesn't retort with "but ew, that's like cough medicine" when I mention it??

it's a very silly small thing but it matters

If HB 1834 passes, will Bluesky start age-verifying access to "addictive feeds" for Washington state residents? If so, which feeds will be considered addictive?

Good questions.

UPDATE: they're not goig to try to pass the bill this session, so these questions are now hypothetical!

If you want to learn to crochet I strongly suggest you DO NOT spend $30-$190 on a Woobles kit. Get a 5mm (or 5.5mm or 6mm depending on what the yarn label says) and some inexpensive 4 worsted weight yarn. That’s about $10 or less! Watch videos and read tutorials. Learn to make chains and do basic…

Woobles is charging $30 a little bit of yarn, a hook, and stitch markers. That’s insane! It’s literally a money grab by a woman who worked for Google!

I acknowledge that there’s a whole space of “I want to make my computer do this very specific thing for me right now” folks who could benefit from AI coding assist. That’s different from formal software engineering, just like DIYing a shed is different from building a bridge.

Do you want early detection of Alzheimers and various types of dementia, or do you want a shit autocorrect that takes you three times as long correcting its bullshit than it would to have done the work to begin with?

The world needs one, but we can't afford it because of the other.
