When you go to the website for AI client, and it prompts you with a checkbox “Verify you're human”, becuase it wouldn't want to have to deal with an automated client, well … that's the height of hypocrisy.

If I'm a Dad and I like certain rock bands...does that mean that rock bands I like are now classified as "Dad Rock?"

Don’t waste your time talking to the wall.

…unless it answers you back, but then you might consider running! ()

Sometimes I watch American Ninja Warrior so that when the older contestants fall in the water, I can say "Don't feel bad. I couldn't do that shit, either."

The mall is a delicate ecosystem filled with predators (shops) and prey (consumers). As malls across the US establish rules which remove one of their historic, primary prey from their ecosystem (unsupervised teenagers), it's killing the natural order.

Sometimes I wonder if cats really do ask for Meow Mix by name, or whether they're just being...well, you know, like, cats.

Is is about the rock? Is the thing itself not sufficient to trigger a certain wariness?

Perhaps that is an overly literal interpretation. Behind me is a parked minivan. A hard place, as it were. This text helps me situate myself as being between a rock and a hard place.

Or perhaps it has nothing to do with the rock, and it simplify encapsulates the zeitgiest. Caution, plague. Caution, fascism. Caution, consumerism. Caution, climate change.

If you shoot for the moon and miss, you won't end up near any stars. Stars are millions of miles away. You'll end up lost in space.

Good luck.

It turns out that to plan a garden, you have to think in 4D: not just how much space the plants take up and how tall they'll get, but how they'll grow over time. And it's not so straightforward because they affect each others' growth: plants in the shade of other plants will grow differently than if they're in the sun, etc. Vining plants can crowd out and stifle other plants. And some plants improve soil quality around themselves, so they can boost the growth of their neighbors.

Ultimately you're making a home for a bunch of living beings who don't move by getting up and walking, but by creating more of their own bodies in the direction of the resources they need.

Maybe I've been sitting in the forest too long, but gardening remains fascinating to me.

Why do they call them fire trucks when they are really water trucks?

Watching some of the Myanmar earthquake skyscraper pool videos...

If you were in an entire 'pool' falling to the ground...would the water protect you from the impact?

So, those sensory deprivation tanks, do they work both ways?

Like if you wanna scream for a while, would anybody hear?

maybe the road less taken has reasons for why it’s less taken.

I emailed Neil Tyson Degrasse asking him if lasagna crosses the event horizon of a black hole does it become spaghetti?
