There was a moment there where I thought “this ai shit really isn’t getting more realistic”, before I realised what was actually going on

He only wants it for marketplace. I can sympathise, that’s where all the really good awful car deals are, and cheap tools that I don’t need, but really want

Speaking from personal experience, knowing that there’s a reason I behave a certain way has been pretty liberating. I spent my whole adult life up to my late thirties thinking I’d broken my brain or was just lazy and couldn’t concentrate. Knowing that that’s just how my brain is wired has made me feel a lot better about myself, and be less harsh to myself when I fuck up, and then being able to learn coping strategies of others in a similar situation has also really helped.

If you can give up on a new hobby or whatever BEFORE you’ve bought all the things and made your life even more messy isn’t a bad thing at all. If you’ve lent into it and bought all the stuff and nonsense, try to cycle through past hobbies rather than pick up new ones constantly. Find hobbies that complement each other, or use stuff that you already own, and ones that have low cost to try out. If you’re not making yourself skint or your life more messy by trying them out, then trying and quitting doesn’t matter at all, it just increases the chance of you finding something you really enjoy doing.

What an awful day to have eyes, that’s one of the worst sentences I’ve read in a minute. “For now” is the unwanted garnish on that particular turd sandwich, he should be banned from practicing medicine anywhere as fast as humanly possible!

As if filling the centre of the city with shit student housing isn’t enough of a disruption, let’s bung in a massive car park, as opposed to encouraging out of town parking.

Why did it take reading about right-wing nutters to let me know about bacon-wrapped asparagus?! How am I this late to that particular party? Or is that a thing only for the fash?

Probably still Gojira, wherever the Olympics are

There are loads of those. Like tons, from all around the world. “Big sugar” really, really isn’t much of a thing outside the us, and a lot of these studies are either data-aggregation from larger groups of studies, like this one, or studies over long periods of large groups, like most of those referenced in that article, particularly those covering Coronado and kidney disease.

I have a fairly healthy diet, with little risk of diabetes, but sweeteners screw my digestion up. They are now in so many things that it’s hard to avoid them, especially in soft drinks and mixers. For the rest of the world that doesn’t eat an American diet, the balance of the risk presented by sugar vs diabetes is not as one-sided as all that

And not what you want the VP in…

 

This is the absolute tits

 

Spoiler - though they were both G5 storms, they weren’t really that comparable.

Also, big as the Carrington Event was, it’s likely it was absolutely dwarfed by one about a millennium ago, the Miyake Event
