Grimace, hm?

Codpiece

They don’t want you to know that Lego lost that patent years ago and everyone can do the knobs now. They still hold patents on mini figs and their new smart brick though.

Be time efficient and do your weekly shopping while the washing machine is busy.

I’m not saying this was meant to sound strange, but I won’t deny being a pervert.

Reminds me of all those times my drill couldn’t penetrate deep enough for the screws to fit and I had to try a new position.

I started some kind of anime themed browser game one day with the intent of wanting to see what kind of people would play such weeb trash.

The first vtuber (I am aware of) debuted in 2016, making vtubers closer to 2012 than 2026.

I’m old…

Ketchup is a soft drink. It’s fluid, made with fruit and sugar

I’m in the same boat. For many things I have zero experience in, LLMs provide me with good guidance and starting points. For me it was self-hosting and Smart Home. Of course hallucinations are real and the output can be nonsense, especially if your questions become increasingly niche. However some healthy skepticism, evaluation of answers and additional sources (just searching for key words online) keep me moving forward.

Just don’t try to learn anything dangerous from it, like identifying mushrooms.

PS: all those links and tips in the comments are worth gold

That’s why I think we can have the same productivity with less work time per day (or week), yet still there’s tendencies everywhere to increase work time unnecessarily for “the economy”.

It’s April 1st. Maybe it’s just a prank
