Same. Some people say they can tell right away but I have to look for impossible objects that look like they came out of an optical illusion book. It's exhausting.

Unfortunately I think it's AI generated. The boot has 2 toes but only one foot hole.

I dropped off a package this morning. I can provide details and tracking # in a DM if you'd like. Thank you for doing this work.

Sounds like you have actual advice from people more knowledgeable than me, but if that fails, have you considered legos made out of an old radio?

I haven't gotten to the point where Cerberus consents to being pet, but I bet it's worth it.

Owner is concerned about legal action against him if he takes action to remove the bear himself, as it's a protected species.

Not sure how you sang it, but I read this to the tune of Bad Reputation

It was a joke, and a common format for one at that. Someone could just as easily read it as admiration of natural scientists taking initiative and putting their own bodies on the line for science. You chose to not only take it as an insult, but also make your feelings into OP's problem.

I agree. If it were implemented in a thoughtful way, considering all the potential problems and limitations of the system, I think it could work. I don't trust that whoever would be responsible for decisions around implementation and maintenance to give it the care and consideration it requires.

I hope that you can take me in good faith. I've been a fan for a long time and have come to trust that your opinions are well thought out. But all of your responses in this thread seem to be focused on the "but I think I need to speed in X situation" arguments and ignoring everything else.

I agree that people shouldn't speed, and edge cases don't justify doing nothing. In this thread this person went over reasons why implementation could be a problem, but you're choosing to highlight this instead. Have you read and considered concerns beyond the ones that are easy to dunk on?

This is also my concern. Google maps pronounces "Iowa City" as "Lowa City" because it can't tell the difference between "I" and "l." My resistance boils down to whether I trust the powers that be to implement it thoughtfully rather than doing the quickest, cheapest thing. I do not. Maybe someday.

What is the CPSC's stance on gifting children nutcrackers?

None of that is to say that someone who was excited or even responded was wrong to do so. The wording of the email makes me think that people are getting the same thing with other podcasters' names, who might actually talk about good books. It's funny to see it applied to the absolute wrong person.

Yes! If Michael emailed me wanting to talk about something I'd written on a podcast, I'd fly into a panic trying to figure out what I had messed up so badly.

Losing a single wireless earbud 🙃

I always assumed that Dan was telling Jordan to set his mic down so it would be farther away from his mouth when he screamed.
