It looks it’s like that’s just for their AI SaaS, and they posted this on X as to why…

I’ve heard of a dead pixel, but never a dead ant! This ant has managed to get underneath the outer layer of glass on our TV, and die there. FML. 😬

“Cautious optimist” favouring regulation while being optimistic about the tech’s prospects seems about right for me.

Wow this isn’t something I’ve seen on a website before. Innovative, but also a little sad that it’s necessary.

The egg nigiri was inspired by this card game we got our 8 year old for Christmas, which is great fun – games are finally getting to the point where they can be enjoyed by both kids and adults 😅

Sushi is one of our family dinners! A bit of work but enjoyed by all. Tried making egg nigiri for the first time.

Leftover pizza dough means bacon and egg pizza for lunch today! It’s important to only use 1 egg if you want to avoid a big mess.

Our PPP income per capita means that Nordic tax won’t give us Nordic public services, though. We need to focus on the size of the pie as well as the size of the slice.

I was finding facts for Ms 7’s bedtime and these collective nouns were so silly, I had to search the internet separately to make sure it wasn’t an LLM confabulation.

Do people who use “skeet” to refer to Bluesky posts not realise that it’s slang for semen? Or are they just tasteless?
