The funniest thing about the #goose presentation is how completely it misses the whole point of the fable.

In the original story, the goose has been providing a steady stream of golden eggs. But the farmer gets greedy, and decides that if he cuts open the goose, he can get ALL the golden eggs inside the goose at once. But after killing the goose, he finds no eggs inside, and is left with nothing.

This is a story about the financial class, #AI, and the #Internet economy.

Rush concert with my youngest boy: $384x2 🎟️
Concert tees: $55x2 👕
Uber ride there: $16+tip 🚘
Uber ride back: $44+tip (surge pricing) 🚑

Worth it? 💸 Still thinking about that. Probably not to any sane person. But hung out with my boy and exposed him to good music. 🤘

Do you remember Boaty McBoatface?
So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link:

The answer to my example .. for example.. allows for the following pairings:
chysta+susan
diane+bobby
david+bobby
susan+david
david+diane

.. which does seem to rely on david quite a lot.

Ok, so remember in middle school you had these logic/reasoning tools that were like grids where you'd put the same "actors" on both axes and you'd mark up allowed or dissallowed interactions? Like:

- Bobby does not want to sit next to Susan
- Susan likes Bobby and David and Chrysta
- Chrysta will sit next to David but NOT Bobby
- Susan hates Diane
- Diane is crushing on Susan; Bobby is crushing on Diane

to answer things like "who should be desk partners"?

I wanted to say those are Punnet squares but a friend said "no you idiot those are the allele thingys for genetics". I'd ask Copilot cause work pays for it, but its already too hot so install Ill use two seconds of server time to ask a bunch of strangers. Hopefully a #teacher or #child #educator.

Two Minnesota solar farms swapped the gravel under their panels for native prairie and wildflowers. Five years later the native bees had multiplied twentyfold and were crossing the fence to pollinate the soybeans next door

Hello, Ottawa! I arrived here to receive an award from the Governor General tomorrow. This is happening because of your love, dear people 🙏🏽

I've been dealing with sexual dysfunction for years. Recently, someone who I professionally admire complimented me. Now I'm having fantastic sex with my partner again. I can't tell anyone what fixed me, and I fear it'll wear off.

I saw a video that explained that we didn't domesticate dogs, but that wolves chose to hang around humans ... and slowly changed themselves so they could become human partners. They have extra muscles in their skull so they can make those eyes and raise their brows ... and they have developed deep empathy with us.

We don't deserve dogs, but we are blessed by them.

Exactly what happened to the reflecting pool appears to have been accurately predicted by this thread—before it happened:

I left my pet #Csharp #dotnet #ActivityPub project running overnight to see how it would handle HEAD requests overnight from UpTimeRobot (it did great).

I check the logs this morning and discover OMG what are all these IP addresses just hitting all the endpoints and static pages? cool, its a crawler! zOMG someone is interested in my thing!
