It 100% reads like it was written by a computer. Which is both hilarious and the best possible way to handle this kind of complaint.

Hamas should insist on reserving the option to defenestrate Israeli leadership

Yeah, it's irritating how effectively the inability to imagine that anything outside the status quo is achievable has been repackaged as maturity.

No, it's dimensia. Biden'a connection with the third dimension is wearing down and soon he will exist solely as a shadow on the Oval Office walls

There some companies offering frame kits that consist of a set of lugs and (optionally) some prepared bamboo. I feel like that's a better way from a longevity perspective than trying to tie or laminate things together, especially since the joints seem like the most obvious point of failure.

Guess I'll take the contrarian side here and say this looks like a nice rain fly for a bicycle and not something I'd want to sleep in. Poles are not make or break when it comes to weight and having a space with a floor where I can get situated without hitting my face on my mud-covered bike seems worth the slight additional encumbrance. If I was going for ultralight I'd use a camping hammock instead.

Should be fine! Compared to flax, chia is pretty neutral tasting.

The big AI models are running out of training data (and it turns out most of the training data was produced by fools and the intentionally obtuse), so this might mark the end of rapid model advancement

Oh no, our system that enables frauds and liars who engage in relentless self promotion over people with actual capability has generated another disrobed emperor shocked-pikachu

"He's one of the more intellectually dishonest guys in tech," another said at the time."I've had plenty of meetings with him where he says things where I'm like, 'That just cannot possibly be true,' but he can kinda get away with it."

The cherry on top:

Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands' reporting

Slightly older interview with the Indian writer Amitav Ghosh. He points out that a lot of anxiety over climate change is related to anxiety over the end of Western dominance, because the tropics are already experiencing climate driven catastrophe on top of the damage done by colonialism:

The West has also come to rely on what Ghosh calls "an expert discourse" from scientists. The result, he believes, is that science is giving fearful westerners a hope in business-friendly "sustainable development," biofuels, or carbon-capture technology, which they think will save the system before it collapses.

The alternative, a massive-scale economic adaptation to a new distribution of resources, is too scary to consider: The end of capitalism would be as bad as the end of the world.

"The people who saw the climate crisis first are at the absolute other end: farmers, fishermen, Inuit, indigenous peoples, forest peoples in India, and they've already had to adapt, mainly by moving, finding new livelihoods," says Ghosh. "And indigenous peoples have already lived through the end of the world and found ways to survive."

It's a grim sort of optimism, but it is a reminder that there are opportunities to adapt and persist if we don't push our biosphere to the point of collapse in an effort to maintain a failed system. We're not going to do that, right? anakin-padme-4

The hubris of zooming around Poseidon's domain like it owned the place
Forgot to pack short grain rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Wasabi. Hope you like seaweed for dinner, boys!
Captain is a self-professed loner, has a mode of travel that requires dozens of crew in close proximity.
Definitely smelled musty in there.
20,000 leagues was the distance they traveled, depth rating was probably nothing special.

spoiler for a 200 year old bookCouldn't even handle one measly whirlpool, probably would've performed awful in a hot tub
Most importantly: shared a name with the worst animal in the ocean. Terrible choice.
