    I have this crazy idea that maybe they didn't have to correct for that shift all at once in 10 feet of track. Or maybe the track didn't break during the earthquake.

    @George-K said in Earth’s land mammals by weight: I've read that the biomass of insects and arachnids exceeds even this. Yup, they're the red section. Also, the weight of bacteria WTF. [image: 1675882779289-ef46c2aa-2be1-4cb7-b2e7-184eed24d2b6-image.png]

    @Aqua-Letifer said in Which Scalzi book to start with?: @Mik said in Which Scalzi book to start with?: Old Man's War or Kaiju Preservation Society? Something else? I need to pick a book before I ditch my Audible free trial. If you want a long-ass series, Old Man's War. If you want a one-off to test the waters, Redshirts, Fuzzy Nation, and The Dispatcher are all great. (That last is part of a series, but they're very short and great on Audible.) Yes.

    Can’t think of any precedent for such a move. Doubt that it is even practicable diplomacy. Edit: did a bit of digging and found no other report of this suggestion from the Polish PM. I call BS that it was ever made. I conclude the originator of this dubious tweet is a Russian troll as his Twatter handle describes.

    @Axtremus said in Finally! A great use for ChatGPT: So … no complain about ChatGPT having any ideological or partisan bias here, right? Right? They are doing something to avoid chatGPT’s self-moderation. I dare you to try to get those sorts of outputs from ChatGPT. Maybe they are doing word replacement for non political queries.

    @LW said in Old TNCR: @Copper said in Old TNCR: overrun by political conservatives who tend to gang up on anyone slightly different Those people are awful [image: 1675798237379-613c1beb-bd58-4bae-99a6-73f127af937f-image.png] https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=5625.0 He wasn't wrong... I definitely feel in the minority here. However, I haven't been here at all for what, 5 or so years, and am only just starting to lurk around again. Not much has changed, and yet, I still come back to you old farts. Smarter Good looks. Superior policies. We're hard to resist

    Oh, my demo version stopped working altogether. I was under the impression that the demo would run for 20 min or so, rather than just implode. Oh well....
