Assistant already reads off a paragraph when I’m just trying to turn off a light. No way do I need something that will recite the entire bibliography of the sources it used to find those controls.

IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME!! Milwaukeesaurus Rex! Dewalt-toothed tiger! Tri-Ryobi-ceratops! Makitadon!

I think they’re referring to the cheap drones that Ukraine and Russia have been using. They’re very simple and can’t carry much of a payload, but they’re incredibly inexpensive and easy to produce.

I don’t get it. Her colleagues explicitly said it wasn’t plagiarism, she didn’t quit over the alleged plagiarism, and the only people claiming it are the people who don’t like her. Just because they claim responsibility doesn’t make it true.

This has been annoying me too, and I realized the Reddit issue yesterday. Thanks for posting about it!

You’re making a straw man argument. You set up an unrealistic scenario of someone being called a racist for showing the OK sign. In reality, most people are willing to have a conversation to understand why people think a certain way.

So to sum up his argument, “because someone is suffering the consequences of breaking the law, I voluntarily won’t run for office.” Ok, you do you, bud.

LEMMY LOAD FAST!!

I find the book thins as I read it more, but starts to thicken when I’m more than halfway through.

I was shopping for a ring and the salesperson said it’s not even worth buying a diamond now because synthetics are expected to take over the market in a few years. It will likely tank the price of real diamonds because they’re chemically and structurally identical.

If you’re in the produce isle, touch one of the vegetables that are wet. You’re going to pick it up anyway and no need to lick your fingers.

Star Wars fan here. I’ve never actually watched a full episode of Star Trek or seen any of the movies. What’s the draw of Star Trek? Why do you like it? Where should I start if I’m interested?

What was the first time?

Every time someone doesn’t believe a conspiracy theory, an imaginary child is sex trafficked.

Ooo I really like this idea. Really it just needs to be a keyboard with a bunch of controls. The control button would change the mode of the keyboard.

They kind of already have this for the symbols keyboard where it can switch to a finance mode with basic algebraic characters.
