I heard there was a secret 'b'
Hidden inside a 'blueberry'

Whoops, minor error; purported fix,
My AI reinventing "blubeberry"

A brown and white dog. He is sitting in the back seat of a car, and has one paw holding on to the door handle, because he doesn’t trust my mother’s driving. He’s facing the camera and smiling. He’s a very good boy.

It's the 250th anniversary of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. A local TV station mapped the route out with nods to past and present Boston-area landmarks, including all seven Dunkin' Donuts a modern-day Paul Revere could stop at:

Even if a Republican would win the seat eventually, they can’t afford to be down a vote in the House in the interim. And I think NY could drag their feet on scheduling the special election.

A flyer placed on the windshield of a black Tesla. The flyer reads:

SELL YOUR SWASTICAR
DON’T BE CARPLICIT

The β€œt” in β€œSwasticar” is the Tesla logo. In the middle of the flyer is the picture of Elon Musk  performing a Nazi salute.

What's the motivation behind the 100m patches? Shift the work to the broadphase collision detection instead of midphase? Reduce build times?

Welp. Apple snuck something dirty in our phones last night.

You have to go through each app. My garage app, my BANKING APPS, others had that turned on automatically. 😑
