My kids don't like mint toothpaste, but that's what the dentists give out. I'll never need to buy travel toothpaste again.

12 small tubes of Crest Kids toothpaste.

#Kagi Translate is so much better than Google Translate. So much more detail and explanation of what the text might have meant depending on the context.

Kagi Translate, with a French input of "cent chemins s'emmélaient"

The primary English translation is "a hundred paths were tangled together"

It also says:

Wordplay - The French word ‘cent’ (hundred) is a homophone for 'sans' (without), creating an auditory double meaning between 'a
hundred paths' and 'pathless'.

A literal and descriptive translation that uses the past continuous
tense to depict a state of confusion or physical intertwining.

Alternative translations:
* a hundred paths intertwined
* a hundred paths crisscrossed
* a hundred paths became a tangled
mess
* a hundred paths wound together
* a hundred paths were snarled

It allows changing the "Poetic or Literary Style":
Adjust the imagery to be more evocative or abstract ...

Google Translate with a French input of "cent chemins s'emmélaient"

It asks "Did you mean: cent chemins s'emmélent"

It gives an English translation of "a hundred paths become entangled" and nothing else.

Embarrassing confusion between chemical and nuclear reactions in this month's Scientific American, who shouldn't have laid off their unionizing employees.

"Other chemical reactions produce rare versions of atoms, including one called carbon-14."

*sigh* Someone keeps breaking into our garage. First they picked the t-handle lock built into the garage and stole the cheapest bike in the garage. Then they cut the staple hasp the garage door people recommended, and took the nice boron-carbide padlock. All our […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Goodbye #pdx tree.

Photograph of the Portland Pioneer Square Christmas tree being deconstructed. The lights and the bottom half of the branches have been removed, leaving a half-bare trunk.

I see the #Solid project is going great (sarcasm). I picked a host from solidproject.org/get_a_pod that hasn't pivoted to AI (cough #Inrupt cough), so solid.redpencil.io. I created an account and tried to sign in from both dokie.li and […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

What is layout, anyway? Also, parking shouldn't be free, especially when #Trimet hasn't made the buses free. #pdx

A dialog titled "** Free Parking All Day **" containing the text:
Thank you for supporting [giant whitespace] local [next line]

Welcome to Seoul airport, on my way to #TPAC2025.

Photo of vegetarian soy sauce bibimbap (because I chickened out of the spicy option). I don't know what most of this is, so I can't describe it to you.
