The Google Nest Mini is a smart speaker, not the smart thermostat with a similar name.

I think most people's immediate reaction to hearing someone refer to themselves as we may be the royal we instead of simply being plural. I don't have any issue or negative reaction to the idea of a plural sense of self, but we feels pretentious for those reason. It should go without saying that you can identify however you like, I just like talking about words.

Also, it's totally outside the ethical bounds of a school counselor to affirm or deny anyone.

I like your schema. I've used something similar. My hosts have always been sci-fi space/time ships/stations, user accounts are characters from or Captain's of said vessels. Over the years I've had a TARDIS, Serenity, Moya, Out of Bands II, Galactica, Millennium Falcon, Rocinante, etc. It's usually whatever I happen to be discovering or binging at the time I setup the machine. For nearly a decade the TARDIS was my server/NAS because it was bigger on the inside that survived through several generations of smaller devices like laptops and raspberry Pi's named after smaller lighter vessels like Serenity and Rocinante.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.

I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.

Shit, my bus stop was at least a half mile away without so much as a sidewalk anywhere, just a dirt road and a canal. You didn't even get a bus stop if you were less than 2 miles from school. We regularly rode our bikes like 12 miles away from home to the movie theater, I think we were pre-teens. Technically I could have ridden my bike to grade 6 (it was on the way to the movie theater), but who wants to show up to 6th grade everyday drenched in sweat or rain (it would always have been one or the other).

"Darmok" was the only other episode Robin Lefler appeared in The Next Generation.

Watching LLMs try to interpret context is like that episode of Futurama where Bender tries to be a chef.

In real life it's more like going after a man sized can of tuna, with the bastard child of an axe, a hammer, and a crowbar.

That's an interesting theory. I'd like to see some numbers because I really doubt that this heating could be anywhere close to the many other kinds of heat produced through normal phone use. Especially considering that you're unlikely to be stressing the biggest sources of heat in your phone (the screen and the processor) while it's sitting in a wireless charging cradle. Also, the charging circuits certainly monitor and adjust for this kind of heat dissipation specifically and are able to control it far better than, for example, the sun hitting the screen or a warm pocket.

and medieval Masons built stuff without math. https://youtu.be/_ivqWN4L3zU?si=2N_iyZiBD8eDpltR

That video shows that all of those ancient engineers relied heavy on math. What do think math is, if not all of the engineering principles laid out in that video?

You should read Misery.

This is why I set up tasker to lockdown my phone under certain conditions, such as: getting disconnected from Bluetooth (like when my phone is separated from me and my watch, my headphones, or the car), getting disconnected from WiFi (like when it's taken from where it's supposed to be), getting a slight jolt from the accelerometer (like getting thrown to the ground or even just a swift tap). My phone may get locked down a bunch during day to day stuff, but at least I know it will lockdown automatically when it matters.

Coffee is also a seed, not a bean.
