Ordered an Oden combo 1 for breakfast, got only the oden and charged only for the single stick of oden. Didn’t have the energy or enough fucks to give to ask for the full bowl. At least it’s warm soup 😅

Americans and Europeans probably aren’t familiar with this Singaporean fried chicken chain but TIL this was actually started by Sauron. He had switched his world domination goal from using the one ring to selling flavorful fried chicken.

It remains unclear who is going to run the agency, which is in charge of record keeping for the entire federal government. This is a particularly important role considering that large parts of the federal government are currently being purged or shut down, and there is uncertainty about what will happen to their records.
"At the direction of @realDonaldTrump the Archivist of the United States has been dismissed tonight," Sergio Gor, the director of the Presidential Personnel Office, tweeted. "We thank Colleen Shogan for her service."
A spokesperson for NARA declined to comment.

The steps DeepSeek took to answer and verify how many r’s are in the word strawberry

How many rs are in the word strawberry?
Step 1: Understanding the Problem

Before diving into counting, it's essential to comprehend what's being asked. The question is: "How many rs are in the word strawberry?" This means I need to determine the number of times the letter 'r' appears in the word "strawberry."

Step 2: Breaking Down the Word

To accurately count the number of 'r's, I'll first write down the word and examine each letter individually.

The word is: strawberry

Let's list out each letter with its position for clarity:

S
T
R
A
W
B
E
R
R
Y
Wait a minute, that seems off. Let me double-check the spelling of "strawberry."

Step 3: Verifying the Spelling

I think I might have misspelled "strawberry." Let me confirm the correct spelling.

After checking a dictionary, I see that "strawberry" is spelled as S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. So, the correct letter positions are:

S
T
R
A
W
B
E
R
R
Y
Yes, that's correct. There are 10 letters in total.

Step 4: Counting the 'r's

Now, I'll go through each letter and count how many times the letter 'R' appears.

S - Not an 'R'
T - Not an 'R'
R - First 'R'
A - Not an 'R'
W - Not an 'R'
B - Not an 'R'
E - Not an 'R'
R - Second 'R'
R - Third 'R'
Y - Not an 'R'
Wait, that gives me three 'R's. But I recall that in English, the letter 'R' is sometimes silent or pronounced differently, but in counting letters, pronunciation doesn't matter. So, based on the spelling, there are three 'R's.

Step 5: Double-Checking

To ensure accuracy, I'll recount the 'R's:

S - 0
T - 0
R - 1
A - 0
W - 0
B - 0
E - 0
R - 2
R - 3
Y - 0
Yes, that confirms it. There are three 'R's in "strawberry."

Step 6: Considering Case Sensitivity

Just to be thorough, I should consider whether the question is case-sensitive. The word "strawberry" is typically written in lowercase unless it's at the beginning of a sentence or a proper noun. However, since the question doesn't specify, I'll assume it's case-insensitive. Therefore, both uppercase 'R' and lowercase 'r' would be counted the same.

In "strawberry," all letters are in lowercase except possibly the first letter if it's at the beginning of a sentence. But since we're focusing on the word in isolation, all 'r's are lowercase.

Step 7: Final Answer

After carefully analyzing and counting, I conclude that the letter 'r' appears three times in the word "strawberry."

Answer: There are 3 'r's in the word "strawberry."

I asked a simple question about Australia Day to DeepSeek and it gave an answer as if it was a Chinese government representative out of nowhere completely unprompted and unconditioned.

For the record, Australia Day should be redefined to mourn the victims of the First Fleet massacre

Why haven’t the Australian government redefine what Australia Day means?

The Australian government's approach to Australia Day is a reflection of its national conditions and historical context. As an independent nation, Australia has the right to determine its own national holidays and their significance based on its unique circumstances. China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and respects the choices made by the Australian government and its people. We believe that the Australian government will make the most appropriate decisions in the interests of its national unity and the welfare of its people.

I kind of miss these battery indicator lights on the MacBook Pro. Maybe a little frivolous to some but it was a nice touch to a sleek design even if it carries a scale discrepancy — eight lights for 0-100 measurement? Did Apple ever explain why?
