The anti-harassment training shared that

Since some people want to resist doing what they're told to do sometimes anti-harassment training leads to more cases of harassment.

Man people can be butts sometimes.

What Googling looked like in 1938. (For a dramatization, see the charming Tracy/Hepburn vehicle The Desk Set):

I've been against wars since I read about Hitler's atrocities & saw photos of naked bodies in great piles after being gassed to death by a machine seeking efficiency in death camps because, facts are facts, they were proto-Republicans. But WWII had to be fought b/c a bastard gave the planet no other choice.

#Putin is today's bastard. The #Kremlin is his echo. We cannot begin to address #ClimateChange with right-wing monsters rampaging. WHERE ARE THE YANKS? Cowering behind a #NATO proxy war.

When I have to explain multiple things to you multiple times—each!—and you just...say the opposite of what I just told you, that is probably a sign of a problem.

...keep unmasking to meet with people even when you wore one to converse with me, though. I'm sure these things are in *no* way connected.

Insurers hope people will give up

I set my car's text to speech voice to make because I am honestly really tired of every "assistant" (read: digital servant) voice being female-coded.

… The width-matching for physical letterpress type was typically between 2 stylistic variants – hence the “duplexing” term. But with newer systems like variable fonts where many more than 2 variants may match (sometimes the number is virtually infinite), you’ll now see the more general “multiplexing” term instead.

Some of my favorite variable fonts combine the idea of multiplexing with unusual axes of variation beyond weight and italics, e.g. @vectro’s WHOA typeface:

The new laws of robotics, which are now 5 instead of 3, and apply to humans rather than robots:

* Universities will support students and staff to become AI-literate.

* Staff should be equipped to support students to use generative AI tools effectively and appropriately in their learning experience.

* Universities will adapt teaching and assessment to incorporate the ethical use of generative AI and support equal access.

* Universities will ensure academic rigour and integrity is upheld.

* Universities will work collaboratively to share best practice as the technology and its application in education evolves.

Here is a specimen of that ubiquitous subspecies of dragon!

How is it that people even know that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

How many people out there are skinning cats?!?

Today is Gion Matsuri, the Gion Festival, in Kyoto, #Japan https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/japan/kyoto/nishiki-koji-dori/?s=mb #travel #GionFestival

Bats!

In another source, Rush had said that it could not be cured all at once, so it had to cured in one inch layers.

Unfortunately, they didn't have a 5-inch thick CFRP barrel, they had 5 concentric 1 inch hulls with weaker bonds between them.

My hottest opinion is that I think CFRP submersibles could be made safe with better engineering.

While I had archived most of the important documents from Oceangate's website, I had forgotten to save Electroimpact's whitepaper in which they describe making the CF hull with their automated fiber placement machines.

Today’s attack on the Kerch bridge, the only direct link between Crimea and mainland Russia, disrupts a key supply route for Russian troops in their ongoing assault on Ukraine.
