Is there anything more humiliating than a republican man being wrong about sports? Seems like he should resign.

If Anthropic wants credit for a discovery then it needs to go through the peer review and publishing process. This includes credit of all reference materials and co-authors. Oh and Principal of the lab is lead author BTW.

Have we thought about erasing some of the data? Feels like society is at the “storage unit” phase of hoarding after filling the garage and formal dining room. Pretty sure the transience was one of the benefits of digital.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

For the second time FedEx has sent me a tariff invoice AFTER delivery. For the second time they have voided it simply by me pointing out that tariffs are typical due before delivery and you don’t import items under multiple codes. People, do not pay these, they are not legit.

I don’t have many followers, but for those I do have in Oregon: if you don’t get your ballot you can request a new one online for pickup at an election office. A designated person can pick it up for you. Have a backup plan and know when you should get your ballot.

My in-laws think there aren’t any cultural differences between the East and West of the US. They also got very upset that it took 10 minutes to get a coffee and restaurants don’t all serve chicken piccata in Portland.

I’m quite tired of the “grandma hobby” articles. Maybe women and girls of all ages are just engaging in traditional female craft, as they have always done.

You know how pundits are always saying that people are leaving the west coast and how it’s terrible for business? It’s not, they just want that to be true so they can come live in this beautiful place for cheap.

Living in berry country I expect berries at peak season to drop in price, even at the grocery store. But still $5.99?!? It’s July.

You’d think nobody seen a recall before. Retailers and brands always know first, that’s why they have recall processes. 🙄🙄🙄

Retailers have taken it too far. July 7 and you are trying to sell me Halloween. I don’t think the Halloween shopping season is 113 days long. Can you try back at 60? Spirit Halloween has it figured out.

There were 2 major defeats of the Confederacy and its pro-slavery rebellion. One was on the battlefield. The other is called the "Reconstruction Amendments", 13, 14 & 15, passed to undo the Confederacy's power. The 6 Supes are Neo-Confederates working to reverse those Reconstruction Amendments.

Would it be 5-4 if a President (D) wrote an executive order limiting the 2nd amendment? I think what it really shows is Roberts is absolutely garbage at his Chief job. He should have negotiated for 9-0 just to cover for all the rest of the illegitimate rulings.
