So when Frasier sings that Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs song at the end of Frasier is that about actual food or is he licking hole, I only ask this because at the end he goes “scrambled eggs all over my face!” and I’ve never seen a grown man have an issue with that

"my weird thing cannot possibly be bad, as I happen to like it"

Lorenz told Wired this year that “I think caring about screen time is stupid. It's a waste of mental energy.” In the same interview she admitted to screen time of around 17 hours a day. Across platforms like X and Instagram, she regularly celebrates heavy social media use and castigates those who warn about addiction or the risks to young users. Lorenz’s repeated assertion is that content cannot create addicts:

A fun bit of trivia about today's physics Nobel Prize: Francis Halzen won it for envisioning and leading the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, but apparently he's never actually been there! WFH FTW. (To be fair, it is rather... remote.)

I was thinking about this when I biked to the office today. It's a stark reminder of how different the safety concerns are for cyclists compared to motorists. If a car hits a dog, it's bad news for the dog, if I hit one on a bike, it's going to really fuck me up. Many things like that on the road.

Then it should be used very specifically for specific jobs, with strict guardrails, and not propping up our entire economy, and being forced into everything. The same way I don’t need to know how to use, say, software for dental offices, or a forklift, most people don’t need AI.
