Thanks for the Monday morning laugh. They should have used this method of communication in WWII instead of those signal lights! /s

And someone posted the other day that there was no way humans would be creating new works anymore because of AI...

RIP that person's laptop hinge. With use, hinges loosen, and I can't imagine that sort of stress would slow the process.

Not to mention the display cable, fortunately you can order new hinges and display cables by slamming the thing shut a few thousand times in the right cadence. This is not just a solution in search of a problem but also a solution to the problems it causes.

This is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius.

Beautiful wording.

So, I had to see where it was from, if anywhere else (Amazon.com):

     A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is the moving memoir of a college senior who, in the space of five weeks, loses both of his parents to cancer and inherits his eight-year-old brother. This exhilarating debut that manages to be simultaneously hilarious and wildly inventive as well as a deeply heartfelt story of the love that holds a family together.

How was this posted both 2 hours ago and also on the 15th? I got really confused when someone said something about "monday morning" but all the timestamps read 15th.

I think that happens when it comes in via the second-chance pool.
