I am sneezing just looking at it.

Great picture though

I did, but I forced myself to do it yesterday… Zero emails directed at me!

Time to celebrate by basking in my self-satisfaction and not checking it the rest of the week.

Music communities/discussion is not the same as spotify music discovery.

Communities can recommend you music that is the same genre as the music you like.

Algorithms can recommend music that you will like as much as your input taste.

At Home: A short history of home life by Bill Bryson. A history of houses, and just history relating to houses.

Most back cover reviews exaggerate, but it really has made me laugh out loud, at least most chapters.

Even better, it gives me a constant stream of interesting facts to throw at my partner. Did you know they had locks on doors and underfloor heating back in the neolithic?

It broke again. Test posting here to see if it helps

Ok, possibly logging in to normal Lemmy.world, then reloggin into old.lemmy.world somehow fixed it.

Wow, its fixed… already?

Lucky this service is free, otherwise it’d be out of my price range!

The best scientific theory is the sexiest one, so yes.

Then why are all those cephalopods so closely related to all the other non-cephalopod molluscs?

The fact that there are very few fossils of soft bodied creatures kinda misses the point.

All the evolutionary diversity of molluscs is still alive. Squids, nautiluses, cuttlefish, snails slugs.

What’s the hypothesis here? An alien meteorite landed with 800 types of cephalopod, that just by chance share 97% of their DNA with slugs and snails that already existed on Earth?

Anyone who gives a LLM that level of access deserves what they get, but clearly the AI comments he posted have been prompted to sound like a confession.

“Write an apology explaining how you made a catastrophic error of judgement. Do not mention that I gave you privileges to do so.”

I think we are supposed to think about Gatsby the same way the narrator, Nick, thinks about Gatsby.

A great man, a true romantic, but not one suited to this corrupt, fallible world. His relationship to Daisy was a bit more complex than just stalking, she did love him, she just wasn’t capable of leaving Tom.

“No— Gatsby turned out all right at the end. It is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men”

In the Endoplasmic Reticulum of the Mountain King

I know you’re right about this

I like the option to disable crises. Its not that I dislike them in general, but every crisis I hit seems tailored to screw me.

Like, I play expansion aggressive, and I get hit with the ‘unhappiness causes riots’ crisis. I play scientific and ignore religion, and I get the ‘foreign religion causes riots’ crisis. I try a low-military diplomatic game, the crisis is barbarian hordes.

I think its: “This is not the place to reach out for help.”

Yes, I also have eye problems when I lie on my back watching my iPad (with stand).

Usually they pass after getting up, but Im pretty sure its gradually causing damage.

Although its a meme, its based on truth: Touch grass.

Go for a walk somewhere green, burn off some of the adrenaline your anxiety is producing.
