    Yes, I found this one easy. Was surprised my data management intuition came back after all these years since school. There’s really only three options: - boy - boy - boy - girl - g…

    It’s solvable if you whittle down to “a”

    Really fun! Could use a hint function though. I got %100 of all words on Aug 4 but still have not found a way to get it down to zero letters. If anyone has figured it out please le…

    I’m stuck on that one too! Got 100% of all possible words but cannot figure out how to reduce to zero. A “show hint” feature would be nice when you’re stuck.

    I agree with your sentiment that animals and maybe even plants can experience sentience. But that’s a far, far, faaaar cry from what ChatGPT is and is capable of. We don’t have “ge…

    Bing and ChatGPT are both narrow AIs. They don’t have feelings or any real understanding of self. They simply generate text. You can ask it about itself, but anything it generates …

    Probably the communication devices were blown off by the shockwave in the case of an implosion. It’s absolutely possible to have communications with the surface at this level; Trie…

    My thoughts exactly. They should be doing a deep inspection of the hull before and after every dive. RTM sounds good until you have a failure at 10000 ft down and die instantly. “W…

    So much skimming here eh. The whole trip can take 8 days, from launching on a ship to take you out to sea. The actual dive itself is supposed to be 12 hrs from “bolts on” pre dive …

    Seems like they’re going to get sued if the passengers and crew aren’t saved. Possibly even if they are saved. Maybe the contract they get people to sign is tight enough, but every…

    The Trieste dive to the bottom of Mariana Trench were able to use voice communications from the sea floor. Should be possible from Titanics depths then, seeing as Mariana’s is 3x d…

    They’re saying they might pass 14 days since purchase if the download wastes their time to test it on the free night.

    I read it more as you undo their last move and your last move. Then you can replay and hopefully not fall into the same trap.

    The point is it’s incredibly hard to get the the good work. It’s not bad, if you can survive the insane competition. Which most, by definition, cannot.

    I disagree with your premise. There’s masterful tech docs and terrible fan fiction. Comparing one to a barn and the other to Van Gogh is meaningless.

    I wouldn’t compare technical writing and fiction writing as painting a barn to painting a Van Gogh. It’s a bit hyperbolic. There’s masterfully written technical docs and terrible S…

    I buy my 2Ls for $1 on sale. $30 a month for pop is very affordable. RE your health; the components of diet pop are some of the most studied and consumed chemicals and sweeteners o…

    Machine wash hot or cold is fine for merino. It’s the drying on anything but low heat that ruins it.

    Yeah, this blog post is mostly opinionated drivel mixed with false statements. Not based on facts at all. It’s like the author chose to talk about something they knew nothing about…

    Seems highly opinionated and not based on fact. IE a typical low quality blog post. Plus, most people don’t wear 100p merino. It’s usually a blend with other materials to help comb…

    Maybe. I’d say this: If you think one guy is an asshole, he’s probably an asshole. If you think everyone is an asshole… It’s time to do some hard introspection.

    Yes me too. I’d guess that the average man on OLD sees more rejection in a month than the average woman will in her lifetime. It’s a tough dating world for the average straight man…
