Bacon so natural that it oinks when you poke it with a fork!

Couldn't be much worse

Shhhh don't tempt fate, it will hear you

That line really threw me for a loop. I'm still not used to people just being so casually cruel so openly.

If we can't get bread, maybe we'll finally start consuming the long pork that is rich in flavor.

Given the amount of unreviewed AI slop people keep pushing to critical production code, we'll have the appearance of being more productive while in reality we will be less productive.

They only want to impeach now?

Microsoft provided AI technology to Israel for use in the Gaza war. So I loosely read it as an ironic twist of fate.

Trash and kitty litter. Theoretically paper or reuseable bags would work better for the environment, but I haven't figured out a replacement trash bags yet.

Every single person who received that email should quit at the same time, in an organized manner. If Amazon wants to replace all their jobs with LLMs, let them try. Get a job at a company that cares about its workforce (admittedly a sad rarity these days). Sit back and grab the popcorn.

Kulinski is one of the good ones. And he's not wrong.

 

Found my old grade school calculator while going through some drawers. It's not programmable or retro (yet) or valuable, but it served me well for many, many years.

Pretty sure I learned the pattern for incrementing binary numbers on this thing while I was sitting bored in study hall before I even knew what binary was.

 

A bipartisan bill in the Ohio Senate would give free meals to K-12 students in public and non-public chartered schools.

 

The doge.gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”

 

The newly introduced legislation would make it a felony for men to “discharge semen without the intent to fertilize." It's called the "Conception Begins at Erection Act."

 

Hundreds of Ohioans from across the state gathered in near-freezing temperatures to protest at the Ohio Statehouse Wednesday. It was part of a national movement known as “50 states, 50 protests, one day” event, also known as the “50501 movement”, had one main theme - to criticize President Trump’s first days in office.

 

CINCINNATI — Two historic Cincinnati brands are coming together for a new collaboration.

Skyline Chili and Graeter’s Ice Cream are teaming up to release a new “Graeter’s Skyline Chili Spice Ice Cream.”

[...]

The special, limited edition flavor is set to be released on Monday, Jan. 27. It will be available at all Graeter’s scoop shops, participating Skyline Chili restaurants, select Midwest Kroger locations, and online.

 

Another pandemic casualty. They filed for bankruptcy last year.

Found a lost cat at the park this week. Hopefully I can find her owners soon. In the meantime, she has certainly made herself at home.

I suspect 1-2 years old but hard to say. Female. Unsure if spayed. No collar or chip. Very sweet and friendly. Planning to get her to the vet for a checkup ASAP. She's a bit skinny so was probably lost for a few days, and definitely has an appetite now.

I hope she wasn't dumped, because some people really don't like black cats, and also leaving cats in the wild is very bad for the environment.

PSA please chip your pets, even if they're indoor pets!

 

When I first learned about passkeys it sounded like nothing more than a vendor lock-in cash grab dressed up as security. This new spec might actually improve the situation and make them useable across more platforms and systems. Assuming Apple, Google, and Microsoft don't find a way to screw it up again.
