Those are my favorites - "Why doesn't everybody in my company want to work 80 hour weeks and never take vacation, like I do?" Geez, maybe it's because they don't own the fucking company and there is absolutely no benefit to them to work themselves to death? They're not the ones making more money just because they're increasing company profits.

FAKE! Obviously no self-respecting Apple iPhone user would own a Windows PC. Gotta keep it all in that walled garden, baby!

It might not work so flawlessly on the 2nd, 3rd, or 100th time though. I use ChatGPT semi-frequently for coding, while it generally does a surprisingly good job, I often find things it overlooks, and need to keep prompting it for further refinements, or just fix it myself.

Captured a Confederate ship and gave it to the Union, and South Carolina is putting up a statue for him? Damn, I'm honestly (but pleasantly) surprised.

"The others" had guns? As in, the Capitol Police, Secret Service, and other security services who were desperately trying to stop the mob? Because I'm not aware of any "others" that were there that day.

More wild Atlantic salmon found in U.S. rivers than any time in the past decade, officials say (apnews.com)

The last wild Atlantic salmon that return to U.S. rivers have had their most productive year in more than a decade, raising hopes they may be weathering myriad ecological threats.

Officials counted more than 1,500 of the salmon in the Penobscot River, which is home to the country’s largest run of Atlantic salmon, Maine state data show. That is the most since 2011 when researchers counted about 2,900 of them.

The salmon were once abundant in American rivers, but factors such as overfishing, loss of habitat and pollution reduced their populations to only a handful of rivers in Maine. The fish are protected by the Endangered Species Act, and sometimes only a few hundred of them return from the ocean to the rivers in a year.

The greater survival of the salmon could be evidence that conservation measures to protect them are paying off, said Sean Ledwin, director of the Maine Department of Marine Resources sea-run fish programs. The count of river herring is also up, and that could be aiding the salmon on their perilous journey from the sea to the river.
