So for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I have €600 in cash. I knew spending it in Amsterdam and Brussels was going to be like pulling teeth and yup, I was right.

I already shared that but people like this!

When Pepsi signed a distribution deal with USSR, trade embargo was in place so monetary transfers were not feasible. Pepsi was paid in decommissioned military equipment and for a short glorious while Pepsi was the 6th largest military power in the world

Star Trek The Voyage Home with the Whales scene. Here pictured is Scotty, Bones, and a third fella. Bones is in a leather jacket, Scotty in his red uniform, and the 3rd fella looks like a middle management type with a tie, brown sweater over shirt, and a big red button that reads "I quit smoking." Bones and ex-smoker guy are in a wood panel lined office standing and looking down at Scotty who is sitting at a computer & holding a mouse up to his mouth. He has a encouraging smile on his face. Closed caption reads, "Hello, computer."

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

“The island of Gont, a single mountain that lifts its peak a mile above the storm-wracked Northeast Sea, is a land famous for wizards.”

This 2005 Science Fiction Book Club edition of the first three Earthsea novels has cover art by Leo & Diane Dillon.
This cover of the Earthsea Trilogy shows Tenar and Ged in a boat, with a golden dragon curling around the back of the image. Tenar, who is pale with dark hair, sits, holding closed a red cape with lavender trim. Ged, who holds a staff and wears an amulet around his neck, has somewhat darker skin and stands; light emanates from his staff. The boat has eyes painted on the prow.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.
