I’ve never heard that the Ainu were associated with red hair or pink complexion in any way. My guess would be that the woman and the boat went adrift off the cliffs of Moher and unusually strong currents just took them to Japan.

So, what you’re saying is … sometimes there’s a movie… I won’t say a film, ‘cause, what’s a film? But sometimes, there’s a movie. And I’m talkin’ about The Big Lebowski here. Sometimes, there’s a movie, well, it’s not the movie for its time and place.

I can’t imagine that 3 years of data is even remotely enough for this. I have articles of clothing that are decades old (3+ decades old), but I have never bought any piece of clothing expecting it to last that long, and the clothing that lasts isn’t always the type that I’d expect. At best, 3 years is enough for a “snapshot” of the life of most clothing, I would think.

Then again, I’ve owned the same car for the last 21 years, so maybe I am not a typical consumer.

After some thought, I’ve decided that we should refer to this apparent lapse by journalists as “Oceangate-gate-gate”

After decades of journalists attaching the suffix “gate” to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as “Oceangate-gate”

Were any of them any good?

The Matrix

I know. Nothing stresses me out more than weighing mice

Videos shared by researchers show how the elephants respond to call recordings addressed to them. In one, an elephant named Margaret appears to almost immediately perk up to a rumble recording addressed to her.

It’s amazing to me that elephants use, among I would assume others, the name Margaret.

Ah, yes, oh so reliable

I agree that all this needs to be examined, and some new laws and regulations should be developed. But, for good or ill, teaching is a covered use as written in the section of the law quoted above, and teaching is part of the process of training.

If anything, laws will likely have to be rewritten to adress changing technologies, but it seems disingenuous to quote a section of the law and then ignore the most relevant word in the entire text

Not teaching with AI

Teaching AI

You skipped right over “teaching”.

Why is that?

It was the maiden flight. First flights don’t always go so well, so it is not at all surprising that it wasn’t carrying a space telescope, or the like.

Still, the next flight will be carrying the first flight of a vehicle designed to resupply the space station, if that makes you feel any better

China had a successful methane powered rocket launch in 2023

No, no. The Timex Sinclair was my first. The sealed keyboard design was perfect for the occasional milk spills

Well, yeah, and boy did the other kids let me know it

The instructions were probably more helpful for someone who knew what these tubes were. I was probably about 6 at this point, hadn"t been actively involved in much TV repair by this time, and I guess I somehow didn’t pick up enough clues from the context of the instructions to put it all together before just leaping into playing with the dials and switches. You know, like a kid

I remember one of these being at the grocery store as a kid. I didn’t know at the time what it was for, but it had knobs and switches to play with.
