Well shit, that's a core memory reactivated.
It's crazy how vividly you can remember something like that, while moments earlier having absolutely no consciousness of it.

It's been years since I've gone to church, but there used to be a lot of kneeling every sunday.
I wonder if anyone has let them know how disrespectful it is to protest and bring politics into church. 🤔
Edit: whoops, meant to reply to the guy above me...
True, but can't you cork a Klein bottle just as easily?
Problem is, by the time they've failed the test, the opportunity for them to learn the content is largely passed.
The purpose of school is to educate and teach thinking skills. Tests are just a way to assess how effectively you and your students are achieving that goal. If something (in this case easy access to AI tools in the classroom) is disrupting that teaching/learning process, sure it's useful to detect that through testing, but I'd doesn't do anything really to solve the problem. Some fraction of kids are disciplined enough to recognize that skating by on classwork will lead to poor test results and possibly retaking classes, but generally those aren't the kids you need to worry about anyway.
I'd ask the inverse. What definition of "inside" can you apply to a traditional bottle--so as to say that a ship is inside the bottle--that could not also be applied to a Klein bottle? Both of them have a single opening that leads to an enclosed, dead-ended volume.
A Klein bottle may only have one surface, and therefore you can argue it has no topological inside. But a traditional bottle is topologically equivalent to a flat disc, so the same logic would say you can't put a ship inside one of those either.
YOU DONT NEED TO BE AMERICAN TO ENJOY CRANKING YOUR HOG IN WALMART BROTHA!
I also thought I'd miss Hulu and Netflix a lot more than I do. What used to irk me so badly was how utterly shit Netflix is when you just want to sit down and find something new to watch. Their front page would be list after list of things like "Hot New Comedies" "Best Independent Films of 2025", "Classic Action Flicks" and somehow it always felt like the same 30 or 40 movies randomly shuffled together. So I'd spend 15 minutes scrolling through the same slop in different orders, get frustrated and search for a movie that I remembered wanting to watch, only to find that it was on none of the services I was subscribed to, and cost $8.99 for a single watch of a 20 year old movie.
We had been Netflix subscribers since the very start when they delivered discs through the mail. Kinda sad how they went from having virtually anything you could think of to watch (and having a halfway decent recommendation algorithm to boot!) to where they are today.
Bingo.
I don't go in for the death-porn aspect of it, but there's something intriguing about these stories of people who seem to just have zero innate fear response.
I must be watching too many cave exploration videos on YouTube, because I thought this was going in a vastly different direction.
"Don't want to go to school? How about dying from hypothermia over 36 hours while stuck in the pitch black with your arms pinned over your head? Okay, school it is."
It sounds super obvious, but i never thought to cook hasbrowns in the bacon grease... Mostly because I'm fully converted to making bacon in the oven these days.
Definitely going to give this a whirl next time we're doing breakfast.
That is equal parts terrifying and cool as fuck!

For me personally, I've gone mostly with Ryobi for "use around the house" cordless tools because I'm strictly a weekend warrior, and having a wide range of affordable tools on the same battery is more important than having the best/strongest.
I do have a couple of Dewalt cordless tools (impact wrench, recip saw) where it's important to have a bit more reliable grunt.
(I assume that's what you mean by color anyway)
