Can't you keep a little in stock? What it there's a storm? A bridge washed out?
Stocked up for the month
Friday ... May it go swiftly.
OMG, the traffic
Here in the USA it's National Pepperoni Pizza day. I had my ration of pizza for the week yesterday, a single slice of 'Santa's Little Helper' at Moosestooth for lunch, so I will pass on today's celebration. All y'all are welcome to partake in the celebration.

Here on the hill it's leftover quesadilla day.
 
I think there's a poltergeist at the market; a box of brownie mix flew across the aisle and into my basket.
 
25 porn threads on page 1. What started like a busy evening - regulars coming out of the woodworks and posting is now being drowned by the porn threads.
(SophieUK86 - yeah right.
Tell me what woman is so excited about it that she starts a "Cum in your mouth" thread.)


I'm extremely curious.

In addition to the other links I provided, a little historical background in today's social media marketing/political purposes is a decent read. Ever heard of the Turing test?

Dating catfishing messages - that seemed logical to me. "Hey babe, I'm from your town (your IP showed up)."

But that AI algorithms have evolved to the point that they're able to carry a political conversation? Mindblowing.

It might well be that most porn posters on this site are real people, but that 80% of the posts are automated too. They're too generic and C&P-ed with no comment.

Coincidentally, this just came up:

Twitter purges hundreds of accounts from Egypt & UAE for ‘pro-Saudi messaging’ that targeted IRAN & QATAR
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-purges-thousands-accounts-china-150111123.html

Twitter's official comments:
"These accounts were interconnected in their goals and tactics: a multi-faceted information operation primarily targeting Qatar, and other countries such as Iran. It also amplified messaging supportive of the Saudi government.”

They said that they have evidence that a software firm in Abu Dhabi, DotDev was masterminded it.

I don't know about this particular case, but I imagine that governments are taking advantage of the bots situation, to get rid of undesirables and orient discourse and information to their advantage.

Botnets. :D
 
I just want to be rich enough to afford my own movie theater so I can watch movies in a place that doesn’t smell like popcorn and farts.

For me, I just want a movie theater where inconsiderate assholes don't check their phones every fifteen minutes during the flick like we can't see their screens light up.

They told you to silence your phones before the previews! If your life is that busy to not disconnect for two hours, you shouldn't be at a cinema!

Lemme know when you build yours, I'll be there for the matinée shows! :D
 
Less than a month before I leave the country... I'm wondering if I should just buy a rain jacket when I get there. All the ones I'm finding here are merely water resistant instead of waterproof.
 
Our first look at the long-lost Denisovan race

100.000 years ago, 3 humanoid species lived side-by-side: Humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans.

Scientists became aware of Denisovians only 10 years ago, when a piece of bone was found in Siberia.
Denisovians inhabited Asia and co-existed & even mixed with humans (as per DNA studies of a group of SE Asians and New Guineans).
They outlived Neanderthals, becoming extinct perhaps 15.000 years ago.

It took 3 years to reconstruct the face of the 13 years old Denisovian whose bone fragment was discovered 10 years ago.
 
Dotting around Ireland for a couple weeks.

I always pack a goretex rain jacket when I go on trips. If it will be chilly, I pack a sweater/jacket to wear underneath. As long as there's a warm place to dry out after the day out, it all works.
 
Big brunch spread will be happening soon. They were playing pretty good music at the grocery store for a Saturday morning. I was, once again, dancing in the aisles. :eek:

Like a pub, perhaps.
