Wolfram Alpha predates the current crop of LLMs by a lot. But cheating on math assignments generally doesn't help much since they're usually exam heavy courses.

Yeah that's the other thing.

So far, the new colour is nicer that the old one I think. But doesn't match as well as I might have liked.

Yeah, it's great. Really puzzled by the colours though.

It was still up when I left the house this morning!

Mask 1...half done?

Man, gloves for the super glue part was a brilliant idea.

Possibly the approaching the final colour?

The same piece of stuccoed wall, now lighter and oranger. Still somewhat more colorful than the old stucco that looks brownish here.

My feet hurt.

My grandfather did also regularly enjoy horse meat until it became too hard to find.

My grandfather was missing a finger and a half from his right hand due to it being bitten off by a horse.

The field in question is both where her children play during the school day and a major community green space.

And she wishes it was being paved to save herself a walk of less than 500 meters. From a parking lot down the street that is never full and explicitly allows us to park there for free.

People really are not ok about cars.

A screenshot from Facebook of responses to the question "Anyone know what they're doing at the front field of the school?"
The first response in blue "Trees. Trees everywhere. Black dirt=tree"
The second response in red "wish they'd turn it into a parking lot but alas its more trees"

I don't drink diet soda. Give me real sugar or give me water.

It's ok. A little quieter than it was during the frenzy. Better for people with special interests than for people who want to chat and shitpost.

I like a big general purpose server. The small specialized ones make me feel constrained.

Still walking over here.

All chili is real chili.

I locked up down the street along side several other people who attempted the valet, but gave up because the wait was going to be too long.

Oh thank goodness Jerry still exists.

Ordinary citizens who should slow the fuck down.

Rivikah @rivikah.bsky.social · 2d

Pretty normal. Sometimes it's down to personal preference so everyone will sort of collectively decide based on who's tired.

Rivikah @rivikah.bsky.social · 2d

Hmm... Well I'm not leaving here, but if you are diversifying, I am also @[email protected]

If you like to hit things, but also like melody, the hammered dulcimer is super fun.

I will peer out through grime if I like!

Labour March Leader: What do we want?
Marchers: Fair wages!
Labour March Leader: When do we want them?
Me: Retroactive to the start of fiscal?

I'm not really cut out for this marching thing, am I?

ugh. Threads.
