How about a law that simply requires AI responses to provide an estimate of the power consumed?

Aldo Leopold nailed it 77 years ago! And one of the greatest aspects of my job is that we are bringing forth the science of river health. It is not so much about restoring a form, but more about recovering function.

The probability that a shared meme will continue to be shared is indirectly proportional to the intelligence of the humor, so I doubt this one will go far.

Best words to hear: "thank you". Much better than "good job", as it both implies a good job and shows that you made something better for someone else. (Ok, "I love you" from the right person might be better sometimes.)

Yes it does. Though in my experience, directly pointing it out gets people defensive, whereas simply laying out the real facts catches more attention. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

some ways to generate electricity A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons B) use sunlight to make electrons

Bemusement on a writing guide... It suggests, "Verbs are the fuel of writing. They give your sentences power and direction." Shouldn't that be "Verbs fuel your writing. They direct and empower your sentences."?

Idea on how to get America to go metric: instill measurement envy... After all, yards are essentially meters, only about 3 inches short!

Not old gum on the sidewalk... Rather the lichen Aspicilia calcarea, and nicely showing a dispersal distribution.

Someone needs to tell the BlueSky algorithms that an interest in 'science' is more than astronomy photos.
