It was very hot but the nearest fire was 100s of kms away. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @nprofile…qmnp Lie down directly under an aircon vent. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @nprofile…3wgd A snort would surely be a toot of indignation. A toot of merriment would be a hoot. A toot of rejection = a boot. Toot of disagreement = a moot. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @nprofile…4lh8 Your attitude of "It's all futile, there's nothing we can do" is part of the problem. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @nprofile…4lh8 @nprofile…nrtu You could: npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @nprofile…tenr @nprofile…qz4x I've read parts of this before and I think Doctorow's idea of breaking up America's monopoly on tech is brilliant, not just as a retaliation to Trump's tariffs, but to free us all from the intrusions into and controls of our lives by Big Tech. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1f8e…v2mv The "huge" problem is if users believe that AI does do formal reasoning, and maybe that's down to the people promoting it as a substitute for a human brain. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1zsw…73vl An afternoon snooze is a nice way to catch up on zzz when you've risen early. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1ezn…3rul Sold out, apparently 😄 npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1zaa…5tvh Only drawback is everything you put into it will turn magnetic. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1eyk…hpk4 It's actually called a moonbow. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1kmn…8cg8 Just as I suspected, even politicians are getting their education about the world from movies and tv. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1fa6…zeg0 I know you didn't eat the wallaby for breakfast, but people in other parts of the world might think you did. npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1swy…snpj Good to hear? npub1sfz088f4a3cm8c4kn2vdq75v7awne049jsc3ntc0g6qpaf76ns3q8kyt06 ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘 @npub1dp8…smpr Taking to court a woman who has already been kicked too many times while she's down is a low act.
