Ok, science Bluesky, maybe this will work. I keep bumping into people at the bad place that link to published articles that show persistence of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and spike protein way beyond what was expected.It is a concerning thing for potential off target effects. Does anybody have more info?

..haven't started on Hades 2, still working through other games first, but I still marked this day by making my own Pyre gear. I was missing merch just for this game. I hope I get a pop up parade figure on Melinöe to with Zag.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I keep an account at the "other places because Bsky is still very anglocentric. Their algorithm is really something, I tell you. I posted in a few signal gate threads and it only took like three days for English posts to be overrun by anti vax, xenophobic, chemtrail , and MAGA (US and Canada).

I love eating beets, so sweet and delicious, but you do have to prepare mentally so that you don't panic into thinking you're having an internal hemorrhage when the pigments come out the other end.

Currently at the car wash. I'm sure there are other more affordable places around my neighborhood, or where they clean my car better, but this one has Pugs that come up asking to be pet while you wait. Sold.

A friend just had his tourist visa application denied by the US. He has a well paying job in Mexico where he's been for years now, his family lives in Mexico, his girlfriend lives in Mexico. He said he wanted to go shopping and visit the NASA museum in Houston. It's not just undocumented Latinos.

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔

Random thought: a common plot device is sending out a distress audio message that then gets garbled up by interference or what not and gets misinterpreted. Why not send text with your message repeated a couple of times? Surely it's lower memory use and less prone to distortion, right?
