I'm still giggling.

The little spoken of animal metoo movement. 🙃
Was just thinking, as global climate changes, migration patterns of animals will likely change too.
We won't, of course. We have lines we imagined ourselves that freeze us in position.

I wonder at times if someone did that on purpose.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social that sort of porn would require a fisheye lens at a safe distance. 🤣
LLMs are considered plausibility engines, but there is a greater plausibility engine in play: Human society. And unlike LLMs, it is corrected by reality.

@james@mementomori.social I've written the same myself. My conclusion is whether the writing is good or not. It's not about the mechanics, it's about what the reader comes away with.

@n_dimension@infosec.exchange when I was planning a forklift motor in a first gen rx7, that was one of the big issues. Sure, a lightweight frame, and back then batteries might have weighed as much as that frame.
Sitting still is never the problem. It's inertia in motion. 🙃
Replying to
@n_dimension@infosec.exchange could the handling be because of the weight of the battery? Haven't driven an ev, but i imagine that's a design constraint for the suspension.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social yeah, he didn't. 😅
He shouted at my parents. And then I told them the truth. And then I was in trouble.
But, they never tried with me again. So it was an uncomfortable win that built character.

@dansup@mastodon.social my past professional use cases had no room for error. Emergency communications and alerts in real time, as one use case.
To diminish what I said to stupid social media bullshit seems dismissive and mildly insulting. Something I expect from people I don't respect.
How odd to get it from someone I do.
But everyone has opinions.
Be well.

Can't say how it's seen in the industry now. Just my own bias.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social somewhere in my archives is a picture of me in the late 70s in a bow tie and little suit.
It was a terrible day. The only day that they pushed me to knock on doors.
They never tried that again. 🤣
"Hey, my parents sent me. It's not my fault. Can we talk about your dog a little bit since they're watching, you smile and take this Awake!, and we all win? Please?"
🤣🤣🤣
Replying to
@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social this is odd.
Sperms whales are predators, and their snacks are in the really deep. That's when they bite.
So this suggests junk that deep, which seems unlikely.
I ain't saying that it did not happen. I am saying it's odd.
