Re: The discerning person's guide to attractive stuff with 100% less snark

I posted a pic of Sophie Arvebrink on Ptah's forum and I still think of her sometimes (when I think of what celebrity today I'm attracted to and all I could think of are athletes on Youtube since I don't watch TV, but a few days ago I saw Holly Willoughby in this video who I also like). Someone on t...

Re: ChatGPT and AIs

I asked ChatGPT what race has the largest mouth. It locked up. Closing the browser and starting a new session wouldn't let me log in until hours later. I wonder if a human reviewed things and gave me a pass. I asked, I think it was Bing Chat the same question and it just gave me some record holders ...

Butterfly nets are better than fly swatters

Title says it all. Cleaner if nothing else. Has worked well for me for years. Better with centipedes than some other insects like flies, but it works with flies too. Catch them, and run to the open door and hit the rim of the net on a fence or the ground or whatever. For today's bonus content, I saw...

"Massive Meta outage"

I couldn't log into Facebook this morning. I'd had an issue with Facebook warning me about posts (that were actually fine) and I even reported Facebook to the FBI, and other stuff, so I was all set to use this against them, but then I read the headline "A massive Meta outage is locking users out of ...

Re: Run-up to WW3

William Shockley et al I had in mind something less controversial and more sure to work. Maybe controlled oxygen to the brain AND body to maximize general health. Or a cure for a mental illness like Down syndrome that happens to raise IQ in even healthy people. I feel like sperm banks like you ment...

Re: Little Raves

I'm glad I never had the drive to say "you know" or "right." I'm not a "buddy" or "chief" guy either. I believe you could define a personality type on use of those words alone.

Re: The food and drink thread

The beer-like smell coming from my home baked bread probably wasn't too much yeast. It was the applesauce. I never saw applesauce used in store bought bread. I advise against it. It probably shortens the shelf life of the bread. I omitted the applesauce and it smells good for the first time.

Re: Little Rants

In NY you can't get a blood test without a doctor's prescription. In most states including PA, you can (I think a doctor has to approve it but he doesn't have to examine you first). The companies that do blood tests directly for people say they're not available in NY. But that's not my rant. My rant...

Re: Little gusts of hot air that don't deserve their own thread.

The biggest coincidences in our lives are probably stupid things. One of my biggest is back when I started using olive oil. The first time I bought it I bought a big tin that I always thought of when I thought of olive oil. When I finally used it up, I put in in the recycling bin of the compactor c...
