Absolutely worth the minute and a half of your time to listen to. As someone from one of those places who is now in a city, I don't think I've ever heard this stated so plainly.

I have always loved "One Night in Bangkok" from Chess but that doesn't mean I need it stuck in my head on a loop while I'm trying to go to sleep.

I'm not an AI fan, but I once spent a months trying to convince my insurance that the PT they insisted I take my young child to didn't exist - I even sent them the Google Street View showing no such office! - so this is not the argument you think it is.

Yes! I was not clear enough, I can see. Their father works with AI trained on their own company’s data to analyze it and speed up decision-making, vs creating something out else from it.

My artist child won't touch AI on principle. They do not want to support the folks that steal their work. They know the difference between Gen AI and LLMs and machine learning for things like data sorting (their dad works with the latter), this is not just a trendy response.

Four. I got Markiplier and Druski because of my kids, and Piker and Ms Rachel from the Discourse. I guess I should ask the kids which of the others they think are worthwhile.

It was absolutely this. A lot of similar positions among all the candidates, so I think it came down to the Evers endorsement. I know plenty of people who liked Hong's ideas but felt she wasn't ready for prime-time.

At least a couple of our state university campuses have kitchens specifically set up for students to process fish and game from hunting. This was the deciding factor for one of my classmates choosing that campus.

Yes but what those numbers represent, and whether the correct numbers and calculations were used to do so, is up for interpretation (if I have learned one thing from the economists and mathematical modelers in my life, it is this).

Easy-peasy.
The cover of the album Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos. 

A white field with Tori Amos in brown lettering at the top. In the center an image of a young woman in a sleeveless top and jeans crouched in what appears to be a square frame, looking out at the viewer, her hands holding the edges of the frame as if she is about to jump. In smaller italicized lettering, the words Little Earthquakes at the bottom.

Hey, I know that guy
A proboscis monkey sitting in a tree in a way that resembles a man with a big belly sitting in a chair and yelling about the damn kids on his lawn. Text reads: 

“The proboscis monkey is the only monkey with a giant hanging nose

Found only on the island of Borneo, male proboscis monkeys use their oversized noses to amplify calls and attract mates, making them one of the world's most distinctive primates.”

Sent this to my bf who is from Appalachia and he's looking askance at "hillbilly loaf" but otherwise says, "looks good to me". I think this sort of thing is like water off a duck's back when you've lived there your whole life. And now he's asking for meatloaf.

And when it broke down, you either got out and walked or you got out and put your hood up and hoped someone stopped to help you out. That was fun when you're a teen girl driving on the freeway or backroads. I don't know how my mother ever let me out of the house, I really don't.

Bad Bridgets? A movie about Irish women, you say? Of course, silly me, it’s so obvious from these pictures, Variety.
Pictures of four actors - Colin Farrell, Steve Coogan, Charlie Heaton, and Domhnall Gleeson - above text. 

Colin Farrell joins Netflix thriller Bad Bridgets

The Oscar nominee is part of a star-studded cast including Steve Coogan and Domhnall Gleeson. Set in the 19th century, the film follows Irish women navigating a life of crime and chaos after moving to New York.

Is ordering two single butterburgers with cheese more or less elite than ordering one double butterburger with cheese? I need to understand.

Do not let the White House convince you that they are dictating what happens for the 250th. They're doing a bunch of stuff, but it's all fleeting spectacle. There is genuine, thoughtful, history-focused programming happening all over the United States. Get offline and go find it.

My puppy has grown into a very big boy. For reference, my other dog on the right is a 65 lb half Redbone Coonhound, half American Pitbull Terrier mix. Also, his tail is ridiculous.
A large breed mix dog with black and cream markings on medium length fur and a curled, fringed tail looking out the window of a screen door to a wooden porch and steps with green grass beyond. To his right is a smaller, but not small, short-haired red hound dog mix. The dog on the left is clearly much taller and longer than the hound.

My hometown had record floods a couple of months ago and only posted official info on FB. I had to go through multiple steps to even find the most recent updates, as FB wasn’t showing them to me. The town leaders think Zuck et al are a public good, though, so they won’t change anytime soon.
