For a direct answer, he had penetrative intercourse with a horse (receiving). Surprisingly, he survived the attempt, but perished from complications.

Not to mention we already have quantum-computer-resistant cryptography.

Where's the Tumblr?

Got a chance to drive a hybrid today for lessons. The regenerative braking is surprisingly subtle.

Also, is it a long weekend this weekend? Talked to some people who said that it was, but I've got no holidays marked out on the calendar. Or is it a school thing?

EDIT: Turns out to be the Melbourne cup. It just didn't show up for some reason.

It might also be an attempt to fence in AI-generated content in its own feed, so that doesn't infest everything else as much, which doesn't seem that unreasonable either.

I don't think ever. Twitter has too big of a brand name and recognition, where X does not, and they'll keep coasting on it (their emails to you still say "formerly known as Twitter"). News sites and places will keep calling it Twitter because X is too confusing of a name, and certain parts of their reader-base will simply have no idea who it is that they're on about, and some social media will call it Twitter because X is a silly name, and they do not respect Elon Musk's rebranding of Twitter in much the same way that he does not respect his daughter's name or identity.

Maybe lights on the wall, or sound reflecting off it weird?

Interestingly enough, you can also 86 a person. This means they’re not allowed to come back to the bar/restaurant/etc…

Sounds like a murder/assassination euphemism.

But an operating system isn't meant to be "interesting". It's an operating system. It should only be meant to operate the system. The interesting should be up to whatever programs it is that a user puts on top of it, something that makes it work better (like optimisations), or at most, make it look nicer. Recall is not that. Your car should be functional as a car. It doesn't need to be capable of baking souffles, or be a fully-functional mobile office suite. An OS should follow the same principles.

It's particularly sad, since the last of them were hunted down, and killed off for their feathers. The final egg got trampled by people chasing down its parents.

In fairness, that was mostly accidental, unlike with the Great Auk. They were driven to extinction by inadvertently-introduced predators, as opposed to being actively hunted.

Your standard one-way-valve/flexible-tube dispenser, for example, would leak quite horribly at altitude (or burst), neither of which is desirable.
