It took me a second to work out the whacky way PetSmart sorts fish tank sizes - but that there is only 1 30G & over tank but 11 40-54G tanks...seems wrong.

When it doesn't just hallucinate but makes me wonder if I am hallucinating too! I definitely did not type index.htmll!

I was fiddling with extension APIs & briefly started triggering this. Reddit says it's not new but I only tripped it now. The wording is so dubious! Seemed to imply X was looking out for me - heh - no.

Is there a write up on tricks used?

Yet again recursion bites me. Asking an LLM if it thinks I treat it good - you should do this too and reply with screenshots on this thread.

I spend a lot of my spare time thinking about applying a thing to itself - Satre would deconstruct me.

Spotted wandering around on my morning run in "The City" (hola @redwoodcityca.bsky.social!). For kids who aren't aware, this is a machine that makes something more valuable than golden eggs.

It lays actual eggs. Valuable valuable actual tasty eggs.

The misaligned attempts I think all pointed at Lyra but Pluto seemed so perfect a coincidence it was worth walking/running around to get the parallax just right.

X marks the spot...where pluto is! No seriously! I had to walk a bunch after I saw the contrails to get this to line up.

It's no manhattanhenge but hey even
@neildegrassetyson.com could not "well actually" this!

Presumably in the future everyone will still laugh at the Arrested Development line but because that's a ridiculously cheap price for a banana. We should make bets on when...

As a result of a passing joke with a friend, I was reminded today that signaling "Error" with semaphore flags is essentially flailing around with the flags.

I was a kid when I first learnt this & was tickled silly that it's the one signal that semaphore experts & n00bs would get equally right.
