I lost two pair getting out of a single Uber once. Both fell out of my pocket (regular and pro). Right before vacation too.

I miss the days of the CVS receipt coupon scarf. At least that just wasted paper and ink.

My CVS, like all, has a crazy squeeze on staff. Yet, without fail, any time a prescription is sent by Dr, I'll get texts either asking or telling me my "auto-fill" is on. That means they refill as soon as possible. Whether I want it or not. Then it's a scavenger hunt through the overflow bins.

Curious to try with the updated Android Studio agent. I have some custom tools that will at least let the agent look up gradle versions, so the LLM doesn't pick something from it's cutoff date, but throw in KSP, etc, and it's a mess.

I generally don't let agents do Gradle now. They'll rip out the house wiring trying to figure out what's wrong before checking the circuit breaker.

Wow, sorry. That's terrible.

Take chicken wing bones. People toss them on the sidewalk constantly. The only time my dog actually fights me on anything is trying to remove a chicken bone from his mouth. We try, because they can be a problem, but it has to usually work out considering how many dogs and bones are on the UES.

I've heard of dogs eating chocolate and being fine. That's kind of what I'm saying I guess. Each of these things can be a problem, but if they were as bad as advertised for every dog, like how could they still be around?

Just looked up almonds, and they're not so bad. Might cause some upset stomach and GI issues. Of course, our dog as a puppy "ate" like 2/3rds of a bag of them. Salted. Drank lots of water after. Didn't chew, so they went down whole. Made for interesting walks over the next day or so.

Really?! I kind of vaguely remember that. So many things. Not that we're swimming in grapes, but there's no way he hasn't managed to steal some in his time.

Hell, if I was in college and did well in regionals (mecc.college), you're damn right I'd have some kind of terrible tattoo.

Funny you picked accountants. I used to joke that devs had hackathons, because we're really into code. Accountants don't have "Accountathons." I was corrected. Close your eyes, guess what the music in the video *should* be for, then watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnH0...

To briefly elaborate, you demonstrate the value of loyalty to the folks who feel the need to be protected (or whatever). It just seems like the people whose loyalty he wants to ensure, by carrot/stick, also hated George. Everybody hated George. But, hey, maybe not. I'm sure George is charming.

But, thus is why I don't post much about politics. We're collectively so far down the rabbit hole, posting online about it seems like it'll just get churned into some future LLM's training chaff. But, the GS thing stuck out as a wild potential own goal. Nobody cared, yet he did it anyway.

that it is to have everybody (like me) confused. I mean, I don't have to reach too far back into my own memory to remember thinking the QAnon folks were really stressing Epstein a bit much. And now? Damn. Popcorn is out. That whole thing seems like a real thing. Biggest Streisand effect of all time.

about is non-zero. And that guy wasn't on it. Again, and maybe I'm naive, but I'd be shocked to find that anybody cared about George's fate (excluding him, his family, and perhaps his "people" who have all certainly been shunned by everybody since). If there is a master plan, I would suggest

I get the argument (loyalty), but Tpain is also super sensitive to his image and the broader reception. What other world leader would attempt to do something like stop a war, but then publicly complain that he didn't get the trophy for it (Nobel)? I'm sure the list of loyalists who somebody cares...

His wiki reads like absurd satire: "Santos was the first member of Congress expelled without having previously been convicted of a crime or having supported the Confederacy." I mean, *nobody* wanted this. If anybody still thinks there's a grand master plan, well: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_...

Had to search for it. I love the direct "The film received generally negative reviews from critics" right out of the gate. My Dad took me/brother to a comedy about skiing. I remember nothing about that. Wiki's genre description is an "American sex comedy ski film." I also remember Dad's regret.

Ha, they are certainly pricey! Look nice, of course. I wound up ordering a set of "Austrian Audio Hi-X25BT". It just seemed odd that there was little market for high quality wireless headphones (full stop. No ANC, etc). Audiophile-level HF are usually wired, I imagine anyway. Overall strange market.
