It’s just throwing a hissy fit because Donald Trump promised it could be ambassador to Greece and then picked the Loud Lady instead.

Brine, eh? Well we do grow lots of cucumbers…

Ohh, you gave me an idea! Given that it also happens in CA, maybe we should use the excess for freshwater production from seawater.

If everyone who comments here emailed Joe Biden with suggestions as to how he could use his newly-expanded powers to help deserving people in America (or influenced by America) it would probably not make a difference, but there’s a non-zero possibility he’d actually do some of it.

Yes! They’re more expensive but so worth it. It not just comfort/appearance, you also see better through thinner plastic. And they’re better able to stay in place without falling off and getting scratched.

Btw, the best way to protect your glasses is to keep them on your face. Have a safe container on your nightstand, use museum goo if you worry about it falling off. If you have to put them down, leave the arms open so the lenses stay 90° from the surface, and always put them someplace that’s higher than your waist.

Personally I clean mine with less than a drop of dish soap (or liquid hand soap in an emergency) and running water, and once I’ve gently washed them, I turn the stream low along the edge so it runs off both sides without leaving drops. Then I wipe the frame but not the lenses, only dab any stubborn last drop to remove it. In most cases it’s better to put up with some temporary dirt particles until you can clean safely, than to wipe and create permanent scratches.

Fair enough, half are still in the cradle or primary school. Maybe add it to the curriculum.

Appreciate your leaving one of them so as not to ruin my comment! (Not a sir, though. Retired schoolmarm here.)

Considering that every post about Mastodon has supporters who get the spelling wrong, it might be a little much to expect the general public to figure it out. Bluesky is pretty much the VHS to Mastodon’s Betamax.

Soooo… With 2 already-wealthy men getting paid for doing the one job, outside of the official government, it’s actually the Department of Not-Really Government Redundancies and Grift, isn’t it?

It’s also been shown to hallucinate whole parts of the doctor/nurse discussion and instructions

What’s incredible to me is that the results really aren’t very good. We all know what they looked like young, and the AI version is just… Not Wright. No Hanks, AI.

Steering wheel looks like a gun which fits since it’ll probably kill you

“It’s coming for you!” has a more aggressive meaning.

Smithereens!

This sent me to Wikipedia for kiwifruit, where I read the Chinese characters translate as “macaque peach,” but I don’t know if that means “peach-ish fruit macaques like to eat” or “peach-ish fruit with fur like a macaque.”

I think we can skip the " Chinese gooseberry" interval.

I assume the Kiwi who rebranded them as “kiwifruit” 🥝 intended both “from New Zealand” and “sorta looks like a kiwi bird.”

Tbf, there is a resemblance to a pinecone, especially if you’re not exactly getting the plumpest, ripest specimens.

Those Capitalists, they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!

I feel like somebody, maybe a Technician, could conjoin this with another viral photo from this week, to “show” her and her puppy cowering under a jumping Elon. Since it’s really his platform that’s causing her pain, and even her existence.
