“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.
I asked what I should use instead of firefox and someone said “floorp” and I legitimately thought it was a bit for like five minutes. tech has gone beyond making the torment nexus real to making poob real.

When the sky turned red. This morning on Glastonbury Tor looking out over the Somerset levels. What an incredible sunrise. There might be a few more to follow. 😂

Finished my first playthrough of Metroid Prime 4. Had a TON of fun with this game. Didn't find quite everything, but that's what later runs are for.
Heads up, if you agree to mark your save slot as "mission complete" you CANNOT go back into it to hunt for more items and scans! #metroid

After hundreds of thousands of years, humanity finally has the ability to raise children thanks to innovations like ChatGPT. It's been a long wait! Your friends at OpenAI have made the formerly impossible task of childrearing achievable.
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"
Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget 🧪 👩🔬 ⚛️ 🎢 #AcademicSky 🇨🇦

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Insane Reuters article. Wondering what this headline could possibly actually mean? Well I saved you a click:
It is has only two LLM-related facts, both of which if you look past the marketing boil down to "lots of links and search results are produced by LLMs now instead of by traditional means".

I built a resistor cube to test the theoretical answer to the interesting extension question and filmed it with an infrared camera to show the current symmetry which is my favourite way to solve it.
