"I speak six languages I am sick and tired Of always being the best And the brightest at every mass"

25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee

I'll never be burdened by lacking challenge. I'm not that smart is a very relatable song from the musical, though.

Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from "making a video when they have a topic they care about", which was still quite frequent, to "scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience" and it's really killed the magic.

Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it's not for me anymore.

There's also one in Sydney! No idea if the franchise is there. But I'm always a slut for eggs.

Australia's federal legislation making non-consensual sharing of intimate images an offense includes doctored or generated images because that's still extremely harmful to the victim and their reputation.

I don't understand what you mean by "regular (non-espresso) coffee".

Two relevant quotes from this article^Paywalled^ ^link,^ ^I'm^ ^afraid^

A summary of the book the author (Dr Linsey McGoey) wrote on the subject: "billionaires who make their fortunes through corporate practices that undercut workers and deepen inequality — like corporate tax avoidance, insufficient sick pay and the immoral gap in pay between executives and low-paid workers — are not the solution to problems they generate."

"Asking Bill Gates to fix inequality is like asking an arsonist to hose down your house after he just set it on fire. Philanthropists might have the deep pockets to fund the fire engine and water hose, but the money is coming from making our houses unlivable in the first place."

I didn't mean to come across defensively and I apologise that I did! Your comment was rad and meant I looked up the cool, weird U turn nerve! Apparently the Supersaurus is estimated to have a RLN of 28m!

I hope you keep finding reasons to talk about topics you like and I'll try to be mindful of how comments I make may not be coming across as I intend them to.

How do you use it? I'm realising that I really need to actually figure out how to use AI

I adore the way you have phrased this

Oh, I'm aware that a trait surviving doesn't necessarily mean it's the best and I'm not trying to say that everything from the natural world is something you'd put in a design (you truly cannot understand how much I hate the human musculoskeletal system).

With that said, there are also a lot of really cool adaptions that can be utilised in R&D. My point was more a general comment about biomimicry being rad. Also, I think I was considering evolution as something of a...database that can be good to use when doing R&D.

Sorry if this isn't very coherent...I'm meant to be asleep...

Also always happy to hear about weird quirks of evolution!

Horizon Forbidden West; I went on holiday just before the final mission and when I went to pick it back up, I discovered that my controller was fucked. Now I'm waiting for the PC remaster because, I still find using a controller slightly unnatural.
