Wait, what happened to chubby emu and medlife crisis?

I haven’t seen them outside of nerd spaces in years, but the hypothetical coworkers might be entertained by American Gashapon. I think the Japanese ones are always higher quality stuff than ours but there were some entertaining toy lines in those.

slinky cat!

I’ve done some stuff through Appen before, it’s AI training projects mostly, it’s not well paid and the projects I’ve been on became a slog after a few weeks but it’s work from home and you don’t really have a boss. You’re just expected to do your x hours of work on your project(s) per week.

I just did a bit of searching and apparently they lost their contact with Google and they got a lot of people during the pandemic (some have stuck around) so maybe not viable anymore.

!micromobility@lemmy.world might get a kick out of this, sadly Jerboa doesn’t make cross posting easy (or at least I haven’t figured out how to do it yet).

After the Oprah episodes they did a compilation episode of all of the bastards Oprah gave us that they’d previously covered, including Dr Phil. It was like 9 hours long. I couldn’t finish it.

Probably didn’t know how to cook them back then, look at what happened to lobster.

damnit i want to go to space but I’m one of those kinky aces

That’s true, but Disneyland is still the place to be if you want to skip the line in a wheelchair - there’s some rides that just can’t be made into ADA compliant queues because of space limitations, or at least that’s what I heard from other Cast Members when I did Studios in a wheelchair with a friend after I got injured.

IIRC vr is still a bit of a mess on Linux.

I was drinking some blue raspberry flavored sparkling ‘water’ while reading this and… holy shit it is banana pineapple and cherry. O_O

I’m a bike commuter and it’s this by a lot. I’ve had assholes swerve into the bike lane because they’re salty I’m not traffic like they are, and punish passes are ridiculous. Dude, I’m doing 20 on my ebike, the speed limit is 20, you’re an asshole.

I wonder if it’s the same dust that Brian May did his PhD on?

We use the Dawkins definition of meme here, this is probably fine.

Those birds choose to be in there and can get out, the one that fell down the chimney into my basement a few months ago needed help to get out.

Chimney swifts are neat birds. They can’t perch on flat surfaces!

Not saying that teacher didn’t suck, but method can be important in earlier math classes. So much of early math is about developing number sense and just understanding what is being represented by a mathematical statement. If a method is a stand in for a larger level comprehension, say, showing that 3*2 is also represented by three rows of two, ie

Just regurgitating a memorized number doesn’t show that deeper understanding.

Space Cadet Pinball?

PSA someone ported it to Linux. There’s a Flatpack. You’re welcome.
