You have failed to bring me around to your point of view.
The moon is part of us, we're use too insecure to allow it its independence.
Amongst the Starship Troopers.
I've never heard that pronunciation, thank you.
Not a problem. I'm glad I could provide edification.
If the wiki article and whatever other resources you seek out don't satisfy your curiosity, there's also at least one documentary on it. I think I watched it on Hulu in the US, but it may no longer be there, as that was over a decade ago.
It is difficult for me to determine whether you are asking in earnest, but just in case, most people guess that my username was inspired by the toynbee tiles. It was not; I didn't learn of them for some time after I chose this name. (Apparently one person added a user tag to my name saying "not the tiles" after we had a similar conversation.)
When people do make that guess, they seem to enjoy demonstrating their knowledge of the subject, including that it exists, sometimes even explaining to others. So in this case I referred to them obliquely in case you wanted to show off any knowledge you might have on the matter.
Occasionally people have nicknamed me "bee" but I don't think anyone has ever called me a "toy bee" before. Sometimes people decide my real name must be "Tony," but it is not.
If your car's headlights are visible from a plane, some adjustment is almost certainly going to be required.
My mom taught me that "Miss" is pronounced as it's spelled, whilst "Ms." is pronounced "mizz."
edit: Correct autocorrect.
My wife has done this for my ears when they have become clogged. I'm grateful for her efforts, but when it's been bad enough to justify the action, it's never helped.
I shall never forget it!
Also in Home Depot, at least the one near where I used to live, the tools aisle has one camera in each bay. If you lingered near a bay, the screen attached to the camera would activate itself and show the camera's view of you as well as loudly sounding an alert every thirty seconds or so to remind you that it could see you.
It made me actively avoid buying tools there.
I will, but likely they won't remember the exchange.
You can login to (using my preferences as an example) DDG and configure it to not use AI, but I mostly browse in private/incognito mode and don't care to login to DDG every time I open a browser. However, I - and you - don't have to login to enforce that preference; at least with DDG you can set a default search engine that automatically avoids it. Here are the parameters in mobile Firefox:
Even in Chrome and Chrome derivatives, you can set a default search engine; I don't know the exact steps, but the end result should look similar to the above.
If you prefer to stick with Google, even they offer a no AI solution. I haven't used Google in years, but according to arstechnica, this would be the equivalent configuration:
I've not used any other search engines since Altavista, so I can't provide details for each one, but hopefully this is a good starting point.
edit: It seems this changed ... Or maybe I had it wrong from the beginning, but I tested this when I posted it, so I think it changed. Regardless, the q= is not necessary currently.
Hex isn't allowed in my bedroom because she used to pee in my bed regularly, but these days she pretty consistently sleeps against the doorframe of my office - across the hallway from my bedroom, basically.
I got her (and one of my other cats) as a kitten around sixteen years ago. She's never been very active and rarely wanted to spend time around anyone - human or otherwise - other than me. Because of that most of the time she's hiding somewhere and not often seen.
However, I can usually find her against the aforementioned doorframe overnight. Because she's getting old and I see her so rarely I always check to make sure she's alive (she is, at least as of the photo).
Tonight I saw her and gently woke her to confirm. (edit: I know it looks like her eyes are open in the photo - and they were, a little - but I assure you she was asleep.) As mentioned in the title, when she saw me she immediately started purring. It made me feel very loved.
(Also, I didn't notice until I was reaching to wake her or I wouldn't have bothered her, but while she was still asleep the beans you can see in the photo were twitching. I wonder what she was dreaming.)
Allegedly they have the "fastest MRI machine in the state, possibly the country" (according to the receptionist). (Apparently they have a 3T.) True to the receptionist's word, the technician promised the scan would take 7 minutes, but it only took 5.5.
I've had a bunch of tests in the office and they have all kinds of (what seems to me to be) very advanced technology in their basement. However ... Their elevator is ancient, slow, claustrophobic and a little scary. Riding it, one wouldn't anticipate the technology one encounters after.
Anyway, I think it's pretty funny that they have a sign - mounted at adult eye level - seemingly to provide instructions for someone who's never ridden an elevator before.
edit: Replaced photo with one with identifying info censored.
I just took this picture in my kitchen while making food and, TBH, I love it.
Well ... Basically the title.
