Huh. I actually had to look this up, and you’re right; they are largely monogamous and share parenting responsibilities.

My sincerest apologies. Say hi to them when you get home.

Apologies for the very personal question, but were you homeschooled by a pigeon?

I love English. Where “fuck it” (let’s do it) and “fuck this” (walk away) have completely opposite meanings.

Also turn off the adblocker at some point. Kids gotta learn what’s an ad and what’s not.

And install Windows while you’re at it. Ransomware builds character.

The chronic pain relief by itself was enough to keep me motivated. Asthma, joint pains (hypermobility sucks!), etc are now down to manageable levels – if not completely gone.

And yeah, I don’t enjoy it and sometimes look for excuses to slack off. And right on cue, my knee pain starts flaring up after a couple weeks. Followed by the rest of the body.

Haha honestly I have no idea. I live near a train station so not a lot of opportunity to catch either taxis or uber…

Depends on where you are. In Australia most taxi companies have an app that works like uber. Shows you the route and a fixed price. And when a driver picks up your fare, it’ll show you where they are.

Yeah that’s the one!

Was Encarta the one with a trivia game? Or was that Britannica? Cause I remember my antisocial young self playing it to death.

I still got some useless facts stuck in my head, taking up valuable space… I can’t conjure any of them on demand; but someone could randomly mention a species of frog and I would go, “oh yeah, they’re native to Madagascar!”

AI just decided to lead humans. The decision was made by no one. THIS change was a low stakes change.

AI didn’t make the change. AI made no policy changes. The logout thing was a backend bug. The only thing the AI did was hallucinate that the bug was actual policy.

That said, I agree with your sentiment regarding where the world is heading. If it weren’t for pesky regulations and optics, the military would have been flying 100% AI killer drones.
