What is it about the last sliver of a bar of soap that makes it so... unlike soap? It's like the wost part of soap, you'll never get it to lather properly. Complete garbage
US peeps, before I eBay it, anyone need a Atari 800? Working, comes with full RAM complement. No power supply or other extras. Make me an offer in a PM w/ zip code so I can estimate shipping from Arizona. (Probably something like $30-$60 depending on location.)

@mischievoustomato yeah I'll make a blog post about it. It won't be fair because some apps that I want that don't exist are things that I have the skills to make work whereas other people would just give up, but that's life I guess
Here’s an interesting tech tip, that literally just came to me this morning as I was playing with Gemini. how to add the current date to your chat, to help keep things organized. Prompt the model to automatically add the current date to the top of every new chat session. This small tweak makes referencing past discussions much more efficient. No complex settings are needed, just a straightforward instruction. As an example, I told Gemini to remember to put the date as the first line in every chat. Now, when I prompt it for something, it will automatically place today’s date in the very first line, allowing me to truly keep track of when I last updated a chat. Any subsequent prompts in the conversation, are not prefix with today’s date. Only the very first line. even better, you only have to tell it to remember one time. I’m sure you could do this with ChatGPT as well. #AI, #Gemini
Le suspense a pris fin à Matignon. Après cinq jours d'imbroglio à la suite de la démission de Sébastien Lecornu, le président Emmanuel Macron l'a finalement reconduit vendredi à la tête du gouvernement.
The head of "special project" office of the federal Government is an oil executive. No wonder why high-speed rail isn't on the list, but a fucking pipeline that no one wants is.
Dawn Farrell, the head of the federal government’s Major Projects Office, believes the Trans Mountain oil pipeline helps fight climate change.
Speaking Thursday at the House of Commons environment committee, the former CEO of Trans Mountain who was tapped by Prime Minister Mark Carney to shepherd his major projects agenda, was asked by Bloc Québécois environment critic Patrick Bonin if she believed the pipeline contributes to the fight against climate change.
“The answer is yes,” Farrell said. “Most of the oil is cracked to make naphtha which goes into petrochemicals, which goes into making electric cars, to electrify the grid in Asia.”
Farrell, who told the committee she earns about $700,000 per year in her role at the Major Projects Office, did not offer any estimate for how many emissions she believes are avoided by using oil to help produce electric vehicles.
According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, by facilitating more oil exports, the Trans Mountain expansion project is expected to add 84 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year when taking into account both the emissions from producing and consuming the oil.
“Trans Mountain is a financial drain and an environmental disaster, and it's not reassuring to know that the CEO who finalized the project now heads the Major Projects Office,” Bonin said in a statement.
