Please understand how small an elevator is, and how big fireball is. Your party is begging you.

Famous last words.

Which is great, honestly. Borogoves themselves are fine, but it’s not worth the risk letting them get all mimsy.

Your reference is ancient and dusty and it makes me feel old. Stop it.

Also the fact that the grain on the side of the shell is perpendicular to the grain on the top, and it changes where the cat ear comes up in front of it.

Very telltale sign of AI is a change of pattern in something when a foreground object splits it.

Not saying it’s always a guarantee, but it’s a common quirk and it’s pretty easy to identify.

Worked in an italian restaurant for a few years. IIRC our lasagna generally had pork sausage, yellow squash, onions, bell peppers, black olives and a bunch of the usual cheeses. Probably had some other veggies too but it’s been a while since I worked there.

It was good lasagna.

To add, that’s the only context I’ve ever heard it used in when working in restaurants (to convey that we can’t sell or offer anymore of a thing). If someone order a lasagna with no olives, no one will say “lasagna, 86 olives”.

NOW I CAN SEE THE WHALES

Thanks for confirming. I’m glad you mentioned it, cause it’s so important for teachers to create a learning environment that students want to learn from.

My schooling was made a lot worse by teachers that had the “punish cheaters” kind of mindset, and it’s a big part of why I dropped out of highschool.

Get a hormone blood panel done, it can check your cortisol.

I had one done a few weeks ago and (big surprise) my cortisol is basically non existent.

Can’t always wear cargo lol

Not with that attitude.

The implication I gathered from the comment was that if students are resorting to using chatgpt to cheat, then maybe the teacher should try a different approach to how they teach.

I’ve had plenty of awful teachers who try to railroad students as much as possible, and that made for an abysmal learning environment, so people would cheat to get through it easier. And instead of making fundamental changes to their teaching approach, teachers would just double down by trying to stop cheating rather than reflect on why it’s happening in the first place.

Dunno if this is the case for the teacher mentioned in the original post, but the response is the vibe I got from the comment you replied to, and for what it’s worth, I fully agree. Spending time and effort on catching cheaters doesn’t help there be less cheaters, nor does it help people like the class more or learn better. Focusing on getting students enjoyment and engagement does reduce cheating though.

When you hear a real knee slapper and your aim is slightly off.

Legit question: how is that different conceptually to the random individuals all running Prime95? Could that not also be referred to as a cloud supercomputer?

The part of the brain that goes “we’re doing reflexes now and you don’t get a say” is wild.

Monster Hunter is a great series. Not terribly stoked about the endgame in Rise though. I think my ideal game would be something like Generations Ultimate but with the overall clunk removal that world/rise did.

Fair warning, Battle of Mice can be tough to listen to. Song 6 of “A day of Nights”, titled “At the base of the giants throat” has 911 call audio from 7:00 ish to the end of the song.

Rheia is so fucking good. It’s a perfect example of music driven by emotion and backed up by incredible execution of the music itself. Glad to see that other people dig it. As for Deafheaven, I loved it when I first heard of it and listened to it all the time, but it’s become one of those bands that I can’t listen to anymore because of the association to that point in my life, which was not great to put lightly. I remember it being an incredible band, but it’s been close to 10 years since I’ve listened to it, so I can’t say whether I’d think it’s good today. Maybe I wouldn’t like it today if I was just hearing it the first time.

Edit: my favorite Battle of Mice song, Sleep and Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k74EB4XVp0

Check out Battle of Mice, Deafheaven, and Oathbreaker if you haven’t. They lean pretty heavily on the depressing side of metal, but they have some killer vibes.

Could check out High on Fire if you haven’t.

Saw them open for Mastodon in 2009 (I think). Fucking excellent on stage.
