I wanted to independently verify this story; have to say I'm a bit disappointed.

Teen hero who helped save girl from abductor gets up to 10 years for armed robbery

NBC's AI can't write worth a hoot:

Hundreds of works were damaged at the Louvre in Paris when a pipe burst because of flooding, the museum’s deputy general administrator said.

The flooding led to a burst pipe and affected one of the three rooms of the library in the Egyptian antiquities department, he said.

Above are paragraphs 1 and 3 from the referenced article.

A simple but logical reading of both states that "a flood occurred (first), and the flood is what caused the pipe to burst (second)". Extremely disappointed in this level of journalistic competence.

Makes you concentrate on driving! /s

You didn't hear this from me, but I hear a lot of cubicle corners have removable caps that can make a great storage place for all kinds of interesting things.

Growing up on a farm, I always told my spouse that if a severe earthquake hit I was going to go to the farm supply store and get two 50 lb bags of "calf mana" to feed our child with (if needed). "Calf mana" is basically powdered baby formula for calfs/colts/sheep/etc.

I'm sure it would be safe to eat (in an emergency). Wouldn't normally use it, but in a pinch it's better than starving.

Of course they won't be; somebody has to debug all the crap AI writes.

Had one application that would (somethings) give the message: Hey baby, you're an object.

Some users where not amused.

What are we going to do tomorrow night Brain?

I have a good friend that works with these nut cases daily.

I call them nut cases because about 70% of them keep taking about how they need to violate their oath to the US Constitution to (in their exclusive opinion) "protect the country for the deep state".

The US government is way too stupid to either develop a "deep state" or keep it secret.

Conspiracy theories are rampant in the US military.

This brings back memories.

When I was in university, I worked in the computer services department (IT services for the campus). A social science prof down the hall would use a program called SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) to do various statistics on data sets.

It was available on two platforms: PC & VAX

The PC had about 4 MB of RAM. The VAX (a large centralized computer) had much more (not sure the amount, but I'm guessing around 256 MB at least). The data sets they were using would sometimes require more RAM to process than the PC had (even with swap space), and would give an "out of memory" error.

They always came down the hall and would ask us what to do. The answer was always the same, "Some combination of: get more RAM/swap space for the PC, shrink the data set, simplify the complexity of the query or run it on the VAX server."

They finally started saying, "We connect to VAX, get more memory?"

I don't know if they thought using telnet to connect to the VAX actually caused the local PC to gain RAM or not but it was an inside pun for the department for a couple of years ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) .

As a farmer who's family has grown probably 2M+ bushes of soybeans since they became popular in the 70s. I can truly say that the worst part is spending night after night with little needles injecting the Republican poison into the fattest beans.

/s - do I really need this here? Oh hell yeah!

Farming - family has been doing it for ~5 generations. I'd say we have put in about $10 M dollars over time (adjusted for inflation).

What's that dear? It's a way of life/occupation . . . are you sure? Seems like it must be a hobby given the return we've made on it over the years. Well, if you're sure.

My wife said that farming is technically an occupation and not a hobby. I still have my doubts given how much we have thrown away on it over the years, but I don't like to disagree with her (she's usually right).
