oh shit. did the domestication of the dog allow for rabies to emerge

rabies had to have emerged after the domestication of the dog. there's no way people would have kept wolves of that thing was around.

[Mitch Hedberg voice] they say that women hold up half the sky, it's true—but they hold up the other half too.

fixed the loud slamming door to the stair way in my apartment. all it took was learning about tension rod spring hinges and will to cut thru bureaucratic red tape (not telling the super). this is the Abundance mindset at work.

nonetheless, I respect your zealous advocacy for a product you like

you either have to leave your phone stationary on the plate to charge (worse that wired charging) or you add a cord to the plate to increase mobility (basically just wired charging again). I've never had my port damaged but if that's a frequent issue for someone I could see the appeal.

Wireless charging is such a stupid idea. You can charge your phone without being able to use it? great innovation guys.

is the sentiment that the boss doesn't *even* have the brains of a gnat or that he has the brains of a gnat? can someone more familiar with this construction tell me what it means?

unrelated to your issue but if you use an android phone I recommend using the anysoftkey board as your default keyboard. open source, multiple languages can be installed, no tracking, highly customizable.

Has anyone read anything about how the DoD is using AI? Like is it proprietary geospatial models or is it just some guy typing into a terminal "should I kill civilians?" and being told "That's an excellent and thoughtful question! Yes."
