It would be great if our legislators would serve reasonable term lengths instead of coasting on name recognition and being the lesser of two evils in reelections and literally stroking out at press conferences.

Interesting effect. Was the candle just a resist?

My husband still browses Reddit regularly and when I asked him about this he said that the r/tattoos has definitely been taken over by AI training. A lot of the posts there are photos of tattoos with generic questions like "what is this style of tattoo called" or "how long would a tattoo like this last". The only useful results I've found recently are from years ago, and even then a lot of searches lead to discussions with a ton of deleted responses.

I went to the last one in DC. It was cold and rainy but everyone was in good spirits and having fun. Was great to be around all the other science needs. Got to hear Bill Nye speak in person.

I didn't find out about this one until a couple weeks out. I could have still gone, but this time around I just don't have the emotional strength to deal with everything going on and put on a good face for the sake of solidarity. I hope it was as good of an event this time and will be with them in spirit.

I've been learning it over the last few weeks, and I can say it definitely has a learning curve for folks used to the Microsoft style, it's pretty solid. Integration with the affinity photo and designer are nice too - moving assets across them is incredibly easy.

It's not free but it's really affordable, and it's not on a subscription so once you buy it you own it. Would recommend checking it out.

This is a seriously stupid issue.

Why can't we deal with this like twitters name change where everyone basically ignores it and just keeps calling it the same name as before?

 

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

Agreed. Such a fun game, animation is great and humor is cute and quirky.

I couldn't get through more than about a paragraph before getting prompted to subscribe so I'm still little confused.

Why get measurements of your child's erections in the first place? How does this son feel about his PHI being shared all over the internet? Hard to imagine anyone being okay with that.

Omg that looks awesome!

Bummer that they're out of stock...

Did those scientists never read jurassic park?

Not that bringing back the dodo bird or mammoths would have quite the same effect probably but species go extinct for a reason.

I went to the March for Science and was glad I did. It was cold and rainy but everyone was having a good time. Got to hear some great speakers and geek out with other scientists. It was really encouraging to see the scientific community come together. I'm hoping we will see more of that this time around.

 

ADP is showing this on all hr applications now- I've encountered it a few times and always hesitate before choosing. I don't want my resume to go even further down the vortex and feed an AI model but maybe opting out just eliminates you altogether from consideration.

Have you seen this before? How have you handled it?

Should be titled: Jaguar takes the wrong lesson from Tesla's Cybertruck.

 

I know it's a bit different from the typical movie review/analysis but thought this was an interesting take on a great Thanksgiving day classic.

 

I know this is basically the same as burning money, but I found this funny and I've got $7.99 burning a hole in my pocket...

 

I'm not familiar with eLife but this publication model is crazy. (They aren't giving editors the choice to reject/publish -it's all published with open access reviews and an article classification by the editors of general quality (based on reviews). Surprising that they didn't see a change in volume or submissions or decline in reviews.

 

I'm doing a month-long series of campy, classic and unique horror movies. I'm pretty liberal in what gets included, trying for a lot of variety. I'm particularly a fan of spooky comedies (like the Burbs), and generally avoiding big franchise horror series to see more unique stuff.

I'm enjoying seeing so many movies I would never come across any other way, even if many of them aren't all that great. So far my favorite is probably Cabin in the Woods or Happy Death Day.

Anything I should add to the list?

Thanks, Onion, that does make me feel better.

 

God bless the FTC.
