It's my birthday season! I made Labor Day - Thanksgiving a special celebratory season for autumn bday folks like me.

Helps with scheduling to have ~90 days available for special dinner/drinks/coffee dates.

I am at least 50% hobbit so treats are on me.

Women only want one thing, and it's to drive like Ellen Ripley in a M577 Armored Personnel Carrier

Googled the title of our new paper out today and the FIRST HIT was an AI sludge article that was completely incorrect

A: no we didn't analyse phosphorus isotope ratios in rocks
B: NOBODY analyses these
C: because phosphorus only has ONE stable isotope

Dead internet here we go

Cool! I will take a look. I need to sort the the frequency of piece placement of the 12 pentomino pieces in a 5x12 rectangle tiling.

Might not be applicable to this this task but I love to use Snap.
