Had a long layover and a loaded Suica card so I bounced into Tokyo. Immigration was very confused by “five hours” as the answer to how long I was planning on staying in Japan.

Kinda wild we're all just pretending that the IAU's definition of a planet doesn't mean Mercury and Venus are Small Solar System bodies by definition.

My power company sends me an update on my power usage relative to my neighbours, but since I’m in Amsterdam I really feel there should be an option to compare my power consumption with my neighbours who also own synthesizers.

It's fake, for those who haven't looked into it too closely. Lots of AI morphing in the background near the coastline and foreground where the terrain meets and the waves push up.
Fair play to this one being trickier to spot, it looks more trained on real tsunamis, but people: look for morphing.

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

People. Don't do this. Shungite contains heavy metals, unless you like chugging them it's just simply a bad idea.
Yes also known as the stone of youth you place chips of it ideally elite shungite if not normal will do place a gallon of water out with 500g of shungite chips leave for 48 hours uncovered in glass container it will clean ur water fill it with fullerenes v good for you kills bacteria helps drink it

Linguists should have a serious talk about the concept of mono- and polygenesis and philosophically pick a lane. Don’t become an Altaicist, but at least recognize that we’re already doing this with polygenesis by treating unknowables as impossible just because they’re unknowable.
Okay, lets do this.

I’ve always firmly believed everyone should just be required to double major in one crunchy thing and one non crunchy thing. The tech landscape would be less of an ethical wasteland with more arts education. And lots of arts degrees aren’t super valuable skill sets compared to how they’re advertised
What’s the benefit of college students taking courses outside their majors?
Some see it as teaching vital skills; others condemn it as costly time better spent on career skills.

College ‘general education’ requirements help prepare students for citizenship − but critics say it’s learning time taken away from useful studies
The architects of general education envisioned it would benefit all students. Decades later, political affiliation plays a role in determining whether people agree.
