There are plenty of videos of chickens and children getting along famously. The chicken running to greet the school bus, enjoying a cuddle, playing chase, enjoying being petted. Heck, there are videos of lizards and fish enjoying being pett

My experience of rural life in north-central BC says that the kids mostly don’t come out fine. The people living out there by and large have rejected society. Child abuse was rampant. A kid in my elementary class slept with farm animals to

Oh, that cinches it: Jeff Dieschburg is a word I can’t use here without being banned. My hope is that he is drummed out of the art world, that he is repeatedly sued by the original artists, and that his name lives on in disrepute. What an a

A fractal design would be equally interesting (possibly more interesting) and much more efficient. I should think nature usually designs for efficiency. Leaf, fern, ant hill, watersheds might provide ideas.

I’ll agree that the pose isn’t original, but at the same time Jeff Dieschburg should be shamed forever for his blatant rip-off of her work. It’s the friggin The Office meme, “They’re both the same.” What an ass.

Yah, no. I live in Interior BC. It has become rare to have a summer where, for several weeks, our valleys are choked with smoke. Twice in recent years I have literally been unable to see the house across the street because the smoke was so

Newsweek got bought out a while back. Bunch of employees left/got kicked out. It’s been coasting on its reputation. Weird connections to a couple religious orgs now. Wouldn’t trust it any further than I could throw it.

Avoid the Samsung dishwasher. I own one and it is crap. Buy a Bosch instead. There have been a few HN threads about appliances; Samsung is generally regarded as being crap.

Well that’s a stunning denial of reality. Hundreds of billions on engineering projects as kayakers float past flooded cars — but “Miami isn’t flooding.” Good god.

> There is really only one reason house prices go up and that's lack of supply. Material costs are up. Land prices are up. Labour cost is up. Building code standards are way up. Building permit prices are up. Houses are 2x-3x bigger

I’m all for assistance in passing away when the time comes, but man, this whole thing seems to be going off the rails. The potential swing back to rationality could be a doozy that goes far too far the other direction.

It amuses me to think the reason Trump is not in the training data, is because his blarglerhea would effectively “poison the well.” ChatGPT is intended to simulate informed, interesting conversation.
