Depends on what kind of “poetry” they compare it to. If they talk about Shakespeare or Goethe, that would be a feat. But if they are talking about modern “poetry”, well, that already looks like bad LLM diarrhea for decades now, so there is no surprise in that.

Regarding AI, there are only options on what would be great with AI. There simply is no option “No, I don’t f-ing want AI” in a Mozilla product.

I want a Browser and an EMail program. Not something that tries to do thinking for me.

Given that nearly all fast food recipies changed in the last decades primarily to make them cheaper to produce, you can safely assume their flavor went down the drain.

There, too.

Are you going to tell this to the British expat pensioners in France and Spain? Because they probably never knew that meaning.

Fast food is called “fast food” because it’s fast, not because it’s food.

Apart from that, there is probably no production chain that has profited better from making things the cheaper way than anything related to food.

So this does not just concern fast food, but the HFCS loaded soda you drink, your bread swimming in dough raising and stabilizing chemicals, or your tinned soup made from water, starch, food coloring, flavors, and preservatives.

Just because of the masses produced and sold, any cent saved on a single Burger quickly adds up to a million dollar in extra profits. Don’t expect them to waste that money on better ingredients or flavor, as long as you keep buying that stuff, they keep on making it worse to save yet another cent.

Absolutely my creed. In my industrial niche, touch screen never took hold - when your action is actually (or at least perceived) important, nobody wants to rely on touch screens.

First I thought “WTF is period data a thing that should concern the government”, but then I noticed we are talking about the future Handmaids Tale country here.

They probably kill off any agency who would protect your consumer rights, anyway. And redefine “broadband” as “you’ve got modem access, so stop whining”. And let the companies keep the subsidies they got for making the former broadband definition happen.

So some parents whine because truth hurts, or what? Or is there a single item that is not easily verifyable?

Could be. Key fobs use button cells.

Normal AA or AAA battery, or a CR<something> button? If it is a button cell, try wiping it with alcohol before you insert it. Many modern button cells have a coating that tastes horrible to prevent people (children) from taking them into the mouth. I’ve noticed that on some brands, this coating measurably increases the resistance of the cell, not only reducing the the power it can deliver, but als making it appear “emptier” than they are ofor the measuring circuits. Wiping off the coating with alcohol (90% isopropanol) expanded the cells’ life (in a kitchen scale to boot!) significantly.

In the US, white, rich and influential people don’t get arrested just because they committed a crime!

Don’t worry, the money is not gone. It is just with someone else, probably one of the billionaires.

Sue them for voter intimidation.

We only had one group visiting on Halloween. But that’s due to a decline of Halloween in general in this area - the fad is over. Here it basically started when our kids were young, and there were maybe five to ten groups coming through. But after a few years, it simply declined.

I still buy some sweets - I don’t want to disappoint kids - but whatever is left goes into the sweets bowl at work.

That is the maximum annual pay for a 0-60 h/week job.

What I like: It is definitely nicer than Reddit was.

What I dislike: It lacks some of the communities I was frequenting in Reddit when it was good.

This reminds me of “Back to the Future”, where Lorraine calls Marty “Calvin Klein”, after she had seen his underwear…
