Just here to read and comment. Science, cats, 🎨. I only reply--I don't post. I don't follow back unless you look like a real person. Update: I love to BLOCK randoms that follow me because like I said, I don't post. There is no reason to follow me.

Just here to read and comment. I'm not a poster.

I love putting it on when I need something to entertain me but it's okay if I fall asleep. I think I watched during a covid bout too.

The Pluto streaming channel (100% free) has a TPIR "Barker Days" channel. It replays the episodes over and over from a set batch for a week or so and then moves to a new batch.

Ah, this reminds me of one of my favorite comics from Jake Likes Onions. I saved it to my phone because it is always funny.

4 panel comic from Jake Likes Onions. The first panel is text "Drug Sniffing Cats." The second panel shows two cats next to a suitcase. One is lying down and other is sitting with butt on the floor but front paws standing up. . The lying down cat says "Lot of heroin in here." The sitting up cat responds "yeah shall we tell the humans?" The third panel is the lying down cat just silent, appearing to ponder a response. You can see the cat is wearing a police vest, which emphasizes that the cat is supposed to be a police cat. The 4th panel has the same cat reapond "Fuck the State."

This is funny because it is saying that cats are anti-authority and this is why they wouldn't make good police animals. The comic artist is illustrating that even if the cats could be trained to sniff out the drugs, they wouldn't actually do anything to inform their human handlers aka "the state" because the state = authority and cats dislike authority.

Another point it makes is for people that prefer cats over dogs. That point is that cats won't tell on you while dogs will respond to treats. This cats are superior.

Mouse is merely showing appreciation for your thoughtful purchase.

That is really sweet. I bet that Frog was well taken care of.

I love it! (Good on you for sharing the translation from German).

Snowball for a black cat. That's awesome.

Yeah the whole lost context and multiple layers of "being too online" to actually understand it...they are pursuing failure.

Actually, I was wondering if they are trying to train an LLM on sarcasm and don't want to collect the posts themselves...

I opened my 18-year-old family tree in Ancestry dot com for the first time in 2 yrs. Their AI increased the hints & it is SUCH GARBAGE now. I was clicking ignore over & over. There is a good research study that could be done with how bad the hints are vs. how many people auto-accept them.

Is it immediately?

The murderous monk was manipulated by a billionaire outside of Opus Dei. Ian McKellan played the role in the movie.
I saw the DVC as a play recently and was reminded of the plot holes.

Confirmed it was Baker: x.com/VayaConDiosG...

I thought it was Baker, but it might have been Rainier. It was a intro climbing trip and very much couldn't handle it.

There won't be any Spotlight movies written about their coverage of this...

I listen to every episode, but after that summary I just marked it as finished without even starting.

I really liked that Momentous posts the CoA for the lots publicly. That was something nice to learn in the article.

I found out last year that my deceased grandparents were members back in the late 60s or so. Mind-blowing. I wish I knew when they were still alive so I could ask the motivation.

Is this an obtuse reply to illustrate my example? My suggestion was to utilize their skills because they are used to reading high school level writing, not to utilize the actual essays they used.

I would pay to read an analysis of this kind of thing done by former SAT essay graders to determine the actual reading comprehension vs poor written articulation by OPs and commenters.

Crescent rolls plus goat cheese and a savory jam are better than the sum of their parts. That's about it in my experience. The rest is just 1 plus 1 equals 2.

This definitely doesn't make sense financially as you've outlined. The transfer using a Boeing 747 sounds impossible too. I live in Houston and have been to JSC multiple times, and sure, I'd love to see the shuttle but I can travel to DC if I want to.

Additional complaint: Fox doesn't show the pitch clock like TBS does.
