Don't look East.

 

Observers on a boat using acoustic equipment reported four unidentified "gloops" but then realised their recording device wasn't plugged in.

Yes, you're right. Headline probably translated because it's not a clear way to say this. Also was surprised that gold bars are only 2K each, but I see the common size is 1 oz and they aren't very big....

1 oz gold bar next to a push pin.  Bar is about 2 times the length of the pin

"Gifted" is a bit of a stretch. They were found in a package addressed to the Red Cross. Rightfully delivered, perhaps.

Don't look down.

Temperatures in cells are well over 100 degrees and go as high as 140 degrees. Staying hydrated is sometimes impossible, because the tap water can be so disgusting that incarcerated people refuse to drink it.

“It smells.” “It is brown like it came from a dirty lake.” “I cut up my sheet and make a filter and tie it to the faucet. The crud that accumulates is scary.” These are the comments families and friends are getting from those inside.

Most Texas prisoners have no money in their commissary account. If no one can help them, they are out of luck. Reason? Texas prisoners earn not even one cent an hour, even though they are forced to work.

Matthew Chapter 25

41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ 44 “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’ 45 “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’ 46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Kill your television.

 

Long but a good read. The fascinating life of Joseph Weizenbaum, the creator of ELIZA.

Thank you for the reassurance because I felt like an idiot when the penny finally dropped. Although, admittedly, I've found that I rather enjoy being old and out of touch. My dad would have likely thought it was something about Linus from Peanuts.

not having the data of being told to fuck off, presumably.

Never heard of before and dgaf about whoever Linus Sebastion is. All this stuff I've been seeing about what an asshole "Linus" is thinking it must be some kerfuffle about Linus Torvalds but the bits and pieces I read made no sense. Even less now I've figured out it's just some random asshole named Linus. How did I end up here? Take me back to my room, please.

Especially if you were indigenous.

 

Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I'm using VSCode but not wedded to it.
