My thought is that the huge decrease in screening during the pandemic is leading to more cases being caught now that things have resumed normal.

Its kind of nice to see a “by race” article showing that race is really not showing to be a factor in this study, every line looks the same.

This is just to avoid becoming the dumping ground for previous gen tech.

I have a huge number of content filters, basically stopping just short of blocking the words “left” and “right” but trying to block everything else political.

What I wish I could find a way to do is pick by post language - I have nothing against a user/community, I just don’t speak (usually) German.

Now…is this legal to show in public or not?

I had a 3 day paddling adventure planned but a partner with the sniffles and way more rain than called for had other ideas. Now it’s VR, sewing, make soup and a shorter day trip when it clears up on Sunday.

Do they count audiobooks? Is it about consuming the content of the book or the delivery system?

From my therapist: In the absence of a crystal ball the best predictor of someone’s future behavior is their past behavior.

When google asked if I wanted to try Gemini I gave it a try and the first time I asked it to navigate home, something I use assistant for almost daily, it said it can’t access this feature but we can chat about navigating home instead - fuck that!

Even though I switched back to assistant it’s still getting dumber and losing functionality - yesterday is asked it to add something to my grocery list(in keep) and it put it on the wrong list, told me the list I wanted doesn’t exist, then asked if I wanted to create the list and then told me it can’t create it because it already exists.

I’ve talk to more logical toddlers!

The first wedding I ever attended was my own…and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn’t get or were already married my entire life.

Still never been to a birth or a funeral.

Yes, a line graph showing residents vs visitors by month would tell a much more meaningful story.

I don’t feel like the government should be matching donations to a private organization…it’s the f-ing government - either just go help people who need help because they’re your people or contract with red cross to do the helping for you with accountability for the job they do.

Matching private money, hoping its enough to help where they obviously see it’s needed, and putting no accountability on the recoever of the money to do anything specific with it is not how to deal with disasters! PR Garbage.

It’s okay to be curious about the world - wanting to understand is not the same thing as wanting to judge or prevent.

1. Friends girlfriend lent me her hiking shoes when I picked him up to go hiking having forgotten mine.

2. Payment was down at a hardware store and the manager just let me walk out with the $7 of screws I needed to finish my project that day

I’ve never tried to have what I would call a conversation, but I use it as a tool for both fixing/improving writing and for writing basic scripts in autohotkey, which it’s fairly good at.

It’s language models are good for removing the emotional work from customer service - either giving bad news in a very detached professional way or being polite and professional when what I want is to call someone a fartknocker.

You can 3D print containers that fit all kind of juice/pop/milk lids. They can be any height, but my favorite are the ones that nest almost perfectly inside giving you one bottlecap worth of storage (perfect for pills or sim/sd cards).

I’ve had my printer for 6 months and still get a kick out of this.

“outlaws” also being a verb makes this title difficult to understand

I just finished reading “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt on how hard it is for parents to police kids self-destructive phone use and tech companies aren’t willing to do anything to help because it’s so profitable to advertise to them and sell their data, this feels like another step down that road.

When I think of growing up female again, but in the current time, it sounds terrible, but then I think of growing up male inbhe current times and it seems awful too, so I think I have to tick the “neither box” and accept I’m too old for this modern shit in any gender form.

The most recent interesting ones have been The Age of Deer(all about deer in North America from a social perspective), scarcity brain(how our brains seem rigged for gambling and how it affects our lives) and WordSlut(gender politics and how it interacts with language).

I’ve never been much into reading fiction, but would love good human-adjacent(ie not particle physics) nonfic recommendations.

I think people’s looks and personality correspond in a few different ways.

One is that people’s choices for style and personal care reflect their personality, so having fancy clothes indicate a person who cares enough about looks to put in the effort.

People also can choose to associate themselves visually with different groups, and if they identify with that group they likely have similar values, including those around personality.

Even things someone can’t control, such as height, probably affect their personality because it changes the way others interact with them in society.
