That sudden left turn in Gremlins scarred young me, but not as much as Billy's total lack of interest in her story.

Would that be the station core that's cracking, leaking, seemingly getting worse, and which they haven't been able to fix?

My wife has enlisted friends to help me sell her yarn stash if she dies before me. There's probably 10 large worth of high value dye lots sitting in bins around me. Her work includes a $200/month yarn shop stipend, and has for many years now.

If you want to have a tiny chance to see a perfectly good car get towed for no reason add "I have the part that fell out."

I feel like I need OregonNukeSailor's backstory. More for the name than the taxonomic viewpoints.

Are we coworkers?

I refer to the people here as Motorheads

I heard once that in the early days of printing (and literacy) most of Europe's reading material was made for or by the church. And one of the things that was very popular at various points in the 16th century were books of hymns, many of which contained old latin hymns turned Christmas carols. It doesn't explain the lack of New Years songs, but it may be why we continue to have so many Christmas songs compared to every other holiday.

Its bad enough that humans are already stealing all the gator's aid to fuel spectator sports, don't juice out the little they still get.

I've decided all flash fads on Lemmy are beans. So, like botanists consider tomatoes to be a fruit, I say corn is a bean.

Backend provider for Realtors. New listing alerts and updates on properties that potential buyers were tracking.

 
 
 

I'd usually don't log my crimes so I don't need to delete them. But I guess that's why I'll never be the Emissary.

I was listening to music at work today and when Bonnie Tyler came on, this popped into my head. Image and title. This place has broken my brain.

In a good way.

 

A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

more than 1,700 comments made by AI bots

The bots made more than a thousand comments over the course of several months and at times pretended to be a “rape victim,” a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, someone who “work[s] at a domestic violence shelter,” and a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated.

The experiment was revealed over the weekend in a post by moderators of the r/changemyview subreddit, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers. In the post, the moderators said they were unaware of the experiment while it was going on and only found out about it after the researchers disclosed it after the experiment had already been run. In the post, moderators told users they “have a right to know about this experiment,” and that posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation” by the bots.

Getting hyped up for Blazin' Bev day tomorrow.

 

I took a day trip to Newport Oregon today, but was still in a Ten Forward frame of mind.
