to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

Google is working with Commonwealth Fusion Systems again, though not in the way you might think. The tech company's DeepMind division is providing its AI tools to help the fusion startup maximize power from its forthcoming reactor. techcrunch.com/2025/10/16/t...
The real reason Google DeepMind is working with a fusion energy startup | TechCrunch
Google has invested in fusion startups as potential power suppliers. This latest move suggests Google sees them as potential customers, too.

I remember a weird speech by Shinzo Abe when I moved to Japan: he said there was two ways to avoid labour shortage, immigration and AI. Thus, he wanted to invest massively in AI to avoid immigration.

I always thought that habitual offender laws and three strikes laws emerged in the 1990s as part of the tough-on-crime era. But then I was looking through old state codes and I saw a three strikes law from 1923. Then I found dozens from around this time, and wondered (naively) what was going on.
