They're even the right colors for my 6.5lb spotted lady and 14lb orange torpedo

It was a joke. I feel like we're all living Brazil 2.

Holy crap! I just got used to thinking that its been over a year since the blackout... but that shocking realization was a year ago now. Thanks, everyone!

Wait, those weren't made as a prop for Brazil 2?

Ha, they left out the 2nd N.

At my last job there were TVs all over the building and anytime I had an excuse, I'd switch them to 10 hours of Gandalf Sax Guy.

Except at the holidays. Then it was Nick Offerman's Yule Log, and/or the Star Wars Holiday Special.

5 seasons seems like a good run these days, but what's with the 5th being short? These seasons are short enough as it is.

I tend to wear jersey knit, short sleeve polo shirts. They feel like wearing a t-shirt, give me plenty of room in the neck (I hate anything remotely tight around my neck or wrists), look normal tucked or untucked, fit in in most professional situations, and can be upgraded with a sport coat if I absolutely have to. I just have to be careful to find ones that don't have the ribbed (itchy) hems on the arms - I want a wide open arm hole. My go to brand just added them so I have to find something new.

I have never found a comfortable suit jacket or sport coat, I don't think they exist for me.

I don't have much advice for pants, I don't have many sensory issues as long as they're not binding. I usually wear wide-leg levis and keep a pair or two that are in nice enough condition for most business casual circumstances. Then I have a couple pair of slacks that I just had to find by trial and error for the other (rare) occasions.

We were born into a system that requires that we make money if we want to participate. Hopefully the means of doing so has at least some desirability beyond that, even if only "this line of effort seems interesting enough that I wont constantly fantasize about stepping in front of a fast moving bus, and thus ruining its driver's money making obligation too."

It's been common (at least in my area) since the OG VW Beetle

The woman, Elisha Young, is the paper's former business manager. She was arrested in Whitehall, Ohio, after a nationwide warrant was sent out for her arrest.

 

I'd usually don't log my crimes so I don't need to delete them. But I guess that's why I'll never be the Emissary.

 

Local to me in Oregon, anyway.

Happy Saturday everyone!

I'm sorry.

I was listening to music at work today and when Bonnie Tyler came on, this popped into my head. Image and title. This place has broken my brain.

In a good way.

 

A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

more than 1,700 comments made by AI bots

The bots made more than a thousand comments over the course of several months and at times pretended to be a “rape victim,” a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, someone who “work[s] at a domestic violence shelter,” and a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated.

The experiment was revealed over the weekend in a post by moderators of the r/changemyview subreddit, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers. In the post, the moderators said they were unaware of the experiment while it was going on and only found out about it after the researchers disclosed it after the experiment had already been run. In the post, moderators told users they “have a right to know about this experiment,” and that posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation” by the bots.

 

From the most recent episode of Game Changer.
