I know you know this, but for other readers, I'm being more direct. Mayor Wilson announced the small grocer program a few weeks ago, naming Lam's as a specific example of a store that would benefit. Because of that, these national right wing groups made a specific plan to pull Lam's into their disinformation narrative around (virtually non-existent) food stamp fraud. This is no conspiracy, and it follows the consistent playbook of these disinformation groups.

I keep seeing this around. I've got friends at Google who have shared screenshots about the manual pull request (code change) that was made to update the name. They even have an internal shortlink pointing to that manual change since it's so dumb

something that works for me is trying different servers until one gets through, i.e. it's not in the site's blocklist. Then I favorite that server and use it whenever I need that particular site

thanks for the relevant excerpt! One small correction: most of the AI sentences had valid and relevant cited sources, but the statements were not correct.

my personal rule of thumb is that if it's published in Nature, Cell, or another well-regarded journal, the statistical and experimental methodologies are almost certainly solid. Do you think I should adjust that rule going forward?

I'll try, and for the record, I'm neutral/meh on this meme and not a vegan.

My thinking is that jokes often rely on something unexpected as the source of humor, and while the skinny arms were unexpected (and funny to me), the captions feel like a miss. If there was a widespread understanding that vegans were emaciated and skinny, this could have been funny because it was unexpectedly accurate. My personal experience with vegans doesn't match that idea. Alternatively, if the idea of putting down vegans was unexpected, it could have been funny from that angle, but alas, I hear plenty of complaining whenever veganism comes up in rhetoric. I don't personally think it's offensive, it's just a meh/10 joke

thank you!

JpegXL offers lossless compression, too

Sometimes I fork to make changes locally, but they're either me-specific or hacky garbage I don't want to publish. Because of that, I normally don't commit those changes, and definitely don't push to GitHub or make a PR.

I recommend reading. A good intro book I recently read was Polyamorous Advice You Won't Get from Your Monogamous Friends

You need to focus on both of these two things:

1. Regardless of the bends, is the pipe's height at output significantly lower than its height at input? If yes, you're good

2. Does the bendy part go up and down enough such that it could trap enough water to fully block the pipe? If yes, you're good
