For twenty years I've heard the same reframe and for the same twenty years I've had a fairly popular ocean science blog that tracks how long readers spend on each page and the long wonky pieces have the best retention and are still read years later.
I dunno, my Ford Escape PHEV that regularly goes 1500 miles on 10 gallons of gas seems to be doing just fine.
So glad to hear it!
This is a Warhammer 40K joke.
It is also a Star Trek joke.
It is the most joke.
Everyone laugh.

Mon-keigh's paw closes.
It took 12,000 years for us to give wolves anxiety, so I see this as a testament to the unrivaled creative power of the human imagination.
The math rocks do not have anxiety and gambling websites are not sources for breaking news.
So, what you've done here is spent 100 years tricking rocks into doing math and then you've gone and given those math rocks anxiety.
Asking an LLM to provide step by step instructions on how to disable the LLM is one of only a few legitimate use cases.
I finally got Zoom's "AI Companion" to tell me how to disable it.
There's no option in the phone or desktop app, you have to go to your account on the Zoom website.
(I'm also running an ancient version of OctoPi on a Raspberry Pi 2).
Note, though, I am optimizing for speed and noise. Yeah, 100 mm/s is slower than the current generation, but this thing is also pretty much silent in my office.
We can go faster.
Working on tuning up my 8-year-old, heavily modified Ender-3 pro to get up to a respectable speed. Added a dual y-axis and a direct drive extruder, plus stepper upgrades and new firmware. Running at a respectable 100 mm/s.
Gotta print a lot of whistles.
Big fan of the barrage of automated phone calls and text messages that ping constantly for my GAD appointments.
Two views of a wingèd creature with a long neck and a moon-shaped, owl-like face. It’s made from gold sculpey and isn’t perfect and doesn’t need to be.
The Silly Little Guy is a keystone species of any social network.
silly quilt (there’s a printed panel with unicorns and fairies that is part of this)
Three Warhammer Gobbapalooza miniatures, painted for the tabletop.
I sincerely believe that in order to keep this here social network viable, we have to also share our silly little guys. 3/5 of the way through painting the Gobbapalooza.
What are you working on?
White Island. Tarvurvur. Eyjafjallajökull.
Cotopaxi did not erupt.
What he didn’t mention is one of those includes me. We missed this eruption by days that killed 22 people en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Wh...
I am 3 for 4 in visiting volcanoes that immediately erupted after I left.
There's more skill checks overall, it changes the way surprise works to give you advantage/disadvantage on initiative rather than missing a turn, some fun rules for traveling.
Rolling a d4 - annoying to pick up, feels bad in the hand, barely tumbles when you roll it. Sad.
Spinning a Dreidel - Satisfying twirl. Turns the tabletop into a Beyblade arena. Lands with a good thud.
Replace all your d4s with Dreidels.
D&D 5e is a social roleplaying game with an extremely restrictive tactical combat mini-game built in.
The d20 + advantage/disadvantage system is great, actually, and 5.5e does it even better.
CON saving throw (DC18). Take 12d6 acid damage + 4d4 force damage on a failed save and be pushed back 10 feet.
The single tiny grogger ties it all together.

I picked a hell of a year to be writing a book about the Use and Misuse of the Deep Sea.
