Adobe subscription traps are evil but if this is accurate it is very funny.
This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

MCG light towers rated:

1: fucked, low beam at the access door, have driven my skull into it multiple times.

2: ok, short climb because access is off the concourse. Spider webs across the door.

1/3

If many Americans feel a touch of summer in winter, some Australians are feeling a touch of winter in summer.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:

My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.

Huh? When did I say that?!

Your teenager probably reads more than that. And likely at least half those words are advertisements thrust on them, boilerplate bullshit, forced assignments and in general *shit they didn't choose*

You, as a bookish teenager, totally could have read several 500 page books each week.

They probably made up the vast majority of the words you read each day.

And almost all were a voluntary choice, almost all read for pleasure.

And there’s absolutely no way the street is going to find another use for this.
Scientists have developed a robotic hand exoskeleton that can passively train expert pianists to play faster keystrokes and overcome the ceiling effect in motor skills.

I thought the L word was an exception, but it ran 2005-2009. There’s definitely a gap. Honestly wonder if it’s was death of Blockbuster that loosened the reins a bit.
Heated Rivalry is great, but we seem to keep skipping any queer story in media that happens between 1995-2005. Its either AIDS crisis/death/etc or (mostly)post-liberation/everone-just-getting-on-with-it.

Wondering what the next crop of grads is like, given they will have been through COVID in last 2 years of high school and uni in the age of AI. Hearing informal reports of worst ever classes in 35 years of teaching. Attention and retention just gone.

I think this term's origin was Paul Scharre writing in Four Battlegrounds about Marines spoofing an AI by hiding under a box while giggling, and I think what first got it circulating was @shashj.bsky.social posting an excerpt on Twitter. www.pcmag.com/news/us-mari...

Deleted this because the audio makes it clear that he's not claiming that first question was the easy part. He says the later parts (where you have to put hands on a clock, for instance) is hard, but not that.
