A guy was playing golf one day and he got lost.
He saw a lady up ahead of him and went to her and said, "Can you please help me, I don't know what Hole I'm on."
She told him "You are one hole behind me. I'm on 7; you're on 6."
He thanked her and continued playing golf.
Later, he got lost again.
He saw the same lady and went to her again kind of embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to bother you again but I'm lost; can you please tell me what hole I'm on."
She told him, "You are one hole behind me. I'm on 14; you are on 13."
Again, he thanked her and continued playing golf.
When he finished he saw her in the clubhouse.
He went up to her and asked if he could buy her a drink for helping him out.
She accepted.
As they were drinking and talking, he asked her what she did for a living.
"I'm in sales," she said.
He replied, "No kidding; so am I."
"What do you sell?"
She responded that it was too embarrassing to tell; but after he kept pleading to know what she sold, she finally said that she would tell him if he promised not to laugh.
He promised.
She said, "I sell sanitary napkins."
He immediately fell to the floor laughing hysterically.
She said, "You promised you wouldn't laugh".
He replied (still with tears in his eyes), "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it. I sell toilet paper..... I'm still one Hole behind you." 😂😂😂

Or, even better, show more hours per screen.

We’re in the middle of a climate crisis and AI is sucking up entire nations worth of energy and water so people can make horrible art, turn in plagiarized essays, and post in social media.
How is this a thing?
Wanna know something sweet?
My mum, who passed away earlier this year, was part of a Thursday coffee group. Her and her ladies would alternate between each others houses every week. They had done this for 30+ years.
Anyway, the ladies were quick to “offer” her spot to my dad when she was no longer around to take it, and he accepted. So for the last few months he’s been part of the Thursday coffee group, getting all the gossip and generally hanging out with the crew.
When I spoke to my mum and dad every weekend on FaceTime, I’d get the latest gossip from coffee time from my mum, and now I get it from my dad instead.
So just know, although there is a lot of horrific crap that goes on in this world, there are plenty of sweet human moments as well. They just don’t make for good headlines.
Around the year 2000 I saw a news item about Napster. They had a bunch of university students show and explain it.
Now I already knew how it worked, because I had it installed at home too. But my poor connection struggled to get beyond 8 KB/s and on TV I saw those students downloading with whopping 100+ KB/s speeds no problem.
And that's what motivated me to go to uni lol

Did you know that MATA built one of the Metacities on top of the ruins of fairly important ruins of an ancient city?

We're not stopping anytime soon, but I'm getting really tired of being the only people masked everywhere. I'm really thankful for my husband; I'm very peer pressure prone and it helps to have him with me.
I'm trying to keep the spite going too. Bleh
Growing up in the 80s and 90s due mostly to ominous news stories I remember as a kid being very sad that all of my friends with divorced parents would have to live lives of crime and be criminals, or otherwise bad people.
This, of course, didn't happen. And the "divorce epidemic" ended, now people get married later, get married less often, but are more likely to stay together.
The horde of "latch key kids" failed to ruin society and no one ever talks about it.
Greta Thunberg joined our United for Climate Justice coalition today and our blockade of a busy Brussels' street.
This disruption of traffic and of business as usual is nothing in comparison to what the climate catastrophe will wreak.
We need urgent action now, but we're still rushing headlong into a terrifying future, all for the sake of greed and growth.

I'm looking for a student for an M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Calgary. *This is a fully funded position.*
The project: building tools to help understand how "retro" video games were made under amazingly constrained circumstances. While it's a CS position, this is interdisciplinary work done in collaboration with archaeologists and others.
Needs: strong coding skills, good writing abilities. Ideally: low-level, reverse engineering, or compiler experience.

Together with other organisations we are currently blocking the Rogier metro station in Brussels as part of the ongoing #StopFossilSubsidies action.
€400 billion in subsidies was given to the fossil industry in the EU last year, which is about €1000 per EU citizen. (1/3)

Vivaldi seems to be mentioned a lot, so that's going to be the first browser I look into. What else are people here using (and happy with😉)?
There was a story that went around this week about movie studios' woes with "superfans."
A "superfan" is somebody who has attached their whole personality to hating an intellectual property they loved in their youth.
