I got my first invoice from the builder today and I have spent the last three hours hyperventilating.
Like yes, there is insurance money to rebuild the house but omfg this is A LOT of money at once.
And we are BARELY started.
PSA for today: Make sure you are fully insured. Properly.

If you go to cancel HBO max (Australia), they’ll offer you a discount. In case anyone needs this info.
I was on the $15.99 plan and they dropped it to $11.99.
Still don’t need to keep it (I only pay for one streamer at a time), but could be handy for someone else to know.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

If you're still on Twitter/X you're standing there, listening to Nazis.
I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate.
Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were
X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

Can't believe you're all out there celebrating international men when it's far more sustainable and ethical to celebrate local, homegrown, seasonal men

My theory is that tech bros hate humanities because they've all tried once to impress a girl studding English Lit by talking about a book and they were all laughed at for their complete misreading of the text.

![On 19 March 2013, Laws interviewed a female listener, who described a history of sexual abuse between the ages of six and sixteen. 33) Laws proceeded to ask the woman if the abuse was in some way her fault and whether she had been provocative. 34) The following day Laws said on air that women who dressed provocatively were once viewed as "rape bait". 35)
In 2015, Laws referred to a male victim of child sexual assault as a "wet blanket" and told him to
"brighten up". [36]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a7gyr7nem6y3uxumh5kf5sox/bafkreiet3vqtknyea4b7mbmk6owjtsy36vc4n4o7a2pcmihvgue23wxumq@jpeg)

So today there’s going to be some sort of primitive rites celebration involving hunting or chasing horses. Whoever kills the fastest one gets a prize and has to drink the blood of the animal from a big cup, hence the name. I'm a little fuzzy on the details.
