I agree with you 100%, just wanted to say that you probably mean tortuous… though torturous is definitely metaphorically possible 😂

Onion’s probably my second favorite vegetable today, but I didn’t like them much as a kid. Granted, I’m not much for spicy food, but that’s because of heartburn, not because I don’t like them.

I think the overturning of chevron deference actually might make it so that politicians are just as qualified to make medical decisions for their constituents as doctors. It’s not a good era for the Supreme Court

I don’t know anything about tech, so please bear with your mom’s work friend (me) being ignorant about technology for a second.

I thought the whole issue with generative ai as it stands was that it’s equally confident in truth and nonsense, with no way to distinguish the two. Is there actually a way to get it to “remember” true things and not just make up things that seem like they could be true?

Sauerkraut and kimchi have B12

Oof, I’m not good at this.

I could see children deciding that this is how they get gun control laws.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I do feel awful for the kids who would have gotten to go to these schools, but won’t because of institutionalized racism. Just not for the people who pushed for this law

Also, doesn’t everyone like fried chicken? I don’t even eat chicken and I make fake fried chicken

Are you rich enough to only use glass containers and do all of your food shopping locally at farmers’ markets? Because if not… stop drinking beverages out of plastic bottles. I’m in the same boat.

I do worry that this might have a “cried wolf” effect for victims of actual antisemitism.

 

This is a spelling bee clone (or rather a fork, but the dev calls it a clone) that stopped updating a couple of days ago. Has anyone heard anything? It was my favorite version, so I’ll be sad if it’s gone forever.

The code for it is public (but I’m 0% tech-savvy and have no idea what to do with that), so it’s also possible that others have clones of it. If anyone knows of any (specifically of this one, not general spelling bee clones), that would also be much appreciated.

Edit: I went back through the archives and it’s probably vacation, lol. There’s a week or so missing from the last two summers as well. I am surprised that it’s not automated, and I’ll be supporting the developer as soon as possible, because that’s hella impressive.
