Magic is “clean up these 100,000 lines of 1980s legacy code and find the source of the division by zero, so I can have more family time.” Not “generate slop videos to distract my kids so I can code more.”

Through the first five days of October, San Francisco's tides are running more than 10 inches higher than the late-20th century baseline. About 3 inches of this anomaly are because of long-term sea level rise, the rest can be explained by short-term effects, likely El Nino related.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples
