I'm surprised you've made it this long without hearing about the sonic sunglasses.

Spoilers in that link, of course.

I just felt like the show lost its way a little. Like it doesn’t seem to understand the doctor anymore.

I think Capaldi is a fantastic actor and I love the idea of returning to an older doctor, but I recall an early episode when he duels a swordfighter with a spoon and it made me think of that old Reddit copypasta from the weird girl.

Then the sonic sunglasses?

I just.

I don’t know. It just wasn’t for me.

Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but you're not missing much.

Moon Reader+ is probably the only thing I still miss from Android.

It requires no restraint if you're not a monster.

Vice President is the surest path to President in US politics.

Can and absolutely do. Pet is my standard security question and it's just a standardized password I use only on that field.

Former pastor here, this is massively true for over 1600 years of the church's history. Most Christians have no idea about their own history.

What an insanely powerful piece and a masterful use of black and white.

I'm honestly not sure what the authorial perspective of the crusades was. In the late 1800's, it probably wasn't safe to be openly critical, but this feels very critical.

The soldiers seem almost skeletal. There's a ghoulish tone to everyone except the angel, who seems to be undeniably leading this army of the damned.

Really interesting image.

I wonder how bad their financials are if the CEO is publicly speaking out about this problem.

Chipotle used to be my favorite restaurant, but the last time I ate there was probably 2019. It just stopped being worth the effort of trying to get a full bowl.

Oh, yeah, no world in which I’m paying $4k for being wrong. Good on the other guy for taking your twenty. Good luck and I’ll be watching with interest.

Would that be $2 from me if I lose?

It's my understanding that, with LLMs, being polite can net better results because they're trained off human interactions where being polite is better.

It's not that they care at all, it's just how language works.

I've not seen a study of the phenomenon or even tested it myself, but it seems plausible.

I suspect just the air near the bat, as we both did it on our first try. Bats are small and fast, so the odds of us hitting the bat on the first try is low.

To be fair, in both instances, the bat had gotten into a building and couldn't be shooed back out, so intervention is pretty important to saving its life.

Once it's on the ground, you pretty much have it, as they can't take off from the ground. Mine scampered under a bed very quickly and we had to move the bed to scoop it up and carry it outside.

In both instances, the bat was perfectly fine and flew off safely once outside.

Weird that the article never mentioned Iowa's incredibly restrictive abortion laws and it's affect on obstetrics.

As a former 3a owner this project is entirely awesome to me. Really cool stuff and really well done.

I'm not sure the watcher would want this one recorded.

Anecdotaly, if ever a bat gets into your home and is flying around unable to escape, the easiest way to relocate it safely is to slap it out of the air with a bath towel whip.

In college, my best friend did this to a bat on his first try and it became the stuff of legend. Years later, stay at a hostel with some friends, a bat got into our room and I remembered the towel trick. First try! It was surprisingly intuitive.

I carried the bat (after getting gloves) outside where it lept from my hands and flew to safety.

The more you know!

"Hence the phrase, 'Greedy as a pig.'"

Oh that whole thing is the cope cage! I thought it was just a building behind it or something.
