Was going to try takeout from a new (to me) spot, and then I saw that they respond to all their google reviews with LLM-written replies. So much cringe. Lethal levels of cringe.

how the heck did a print dialogue come up while browsing the store on a steam deck???

A photo of a Steam Deck (handheld gaming console)’s screen in an otherwise dark room.
Taking up the entire screen is a “window” to select options before printing, like what is normally used on a desktop or laptop computer. There is a system power menu is the center of the screen and info bars at the top and bottom of the screen for proof that this is a Steam gaming device, not a normal computer.

Transcription of the screen’s text:

The top info bar reads:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2791440/Brighter_Shores/
Icon for a notification
Icon for wifi
15% battery
12:09 AM

The printer dialogue screen reads:
Printer Location Status

Print to File
Print to LPR

Command Line: Ipr
Range
O All Pages
• Current Page
• Selection
• Pages:

Copies: 1
• Collate
Reverse

The bottom of the screen reads:
STEAM button: MENU

A: SELECT
B: CANCEL

LOWEST PRICE ON STEAM: CAD 0

Overlaid on the center of the screen is the system power menu, which reads:
Power Menu
Show Controller Shortcuts
Sleep System
Shutdown System

A photo of the Steam Deck’s screen without the Steam Deck’s power menu and info bars blocking any of the print dialogue screen. It’s a boring white screen with blue accents, and looks like what would be on a desktop or laptop screen.

They’ve got ombre room curtains in that hospital?

A closely cropped version of the quote-reposted image that shows a privacy curtain in a hospital room. The farthest part of the curtain is blue, then the next section is light brown, then another blue section, then the last most visible section is light brown at the top and fades into blue at the bottom.

In real life, these curtains are often a blue or light pink color (that could look brownish is certain lighting or photos); not both.

The “feels like” temp is a full 20 degrees (F) higher than actual. But, honestly, thanks to the strong breeze, it actually feels kinda nice.

Just saw the US Air Force’s VENUS21 (looks similar to Air Force One) flying low over the Welland Canal. It apparently flew straight from Andrews AFB to Niagara Falls. Looks like someone is getting a very expensive (for taxpayers) tour of the Falls.

A screenshot from FlightRadar24.com showing the track of a United States Air Force jet with the callsign “Venus 21”. The map is zoomed in on the Buffalo-Niagara region of New York and Ontario, Canada. The plane was doing a lot of loops over Niagara Falls Canada.

A screenshot from FlightRadar24.com showing the track of a United States Air Force jet with the callsign “Venus 21”. The map is zoomed out showing a perfectly straight flight path from Maryland, next to Washington D.C., to Buffalo New York where the path then veers over to Canada.

Kiddo is only 12 months old and already such a helper! All by himself with zero prompting, he took utensils out of the dishwasher, (put them on the floor), then put them back in the dishwasher, and he even slid the rack back in.

A close, cropped photo. At the bottom is the inside of an opened dishwasher door; it is stainless steel and there is a small puddle of water on it. On the left is the bottom rack and utensil basket of the dishwasher; there are several spoons placed haphazardly on top and a steak knife that is untouched and in the correct, safe, spot. In the upper right of the photo is a white cabinet and grey floor. On the floor is a blue and white plastic serving spoon. In the very top right corner, there’s part of a metal spoon, and on the cabinet door is the shadow of the spoon handle and the tiny arm holding it.

Did Kohler use gen-ai for the product photo for this $7500 “smart” toilet? “clongated” “bidef seat” “dualᵅflush” “waterᵉifficient”

A phone screenshot of a product image on the Walmart.ca app. It shows a white toilet that doesn’t have a flush handle or the typical tank. It looks like an oval bucket with a lid. The background is a dark beige tile wall. The text over the image reads:

It’s so nice that the dumb “AI” garbage always has a little ✨ icon so you can immediately know it’s useless nonsense. Like, my Google tv is now trying to show ✨viewer reviews of movies✨, but it’s instead showing restaurant reviews??

Pretty cool that two of these arrived 20 minutes apart because 20 minutes is exactly how long it takes to get a baby to stop screaming after hearing one.

Snuggling with my kiddo and listening to the Coachella stream, with a decaf espresso and oatmeal cookies made by my husband. Couldn’t imagine a better night.
