I love it so much, was watching for the billionth time, it prompted the question!

That’s a good one, haven’t seen in a long time.

large cylindrical tank with surrounding piping and duct work in an industrial setting.

large cylindrical tank with surrounding piping and duct work in an industrial setting.

bins collect our dewatered biosolids (we call it cake) so it can be pumped to our incinerators.

the cake is fuel, and the incinerators generate steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity.

bin cams help operators monitor bin levels and function in real time.

The bitterest pill about AI cheating for me is that AI'ed assignments take much longer to grade than honest assignments because they turn grading into an investigation.

So when the student spends less time, I spend more. Fun!

I ate dinner with Jimmy Carter and we had jambalaya off of literal frisbees.

SuperGrok is the equivalent of Icarus 1 in Sunshine. It’s fucking over and you know it.

On top of maintaining secrecy, it was an amazing environment for scientists; so many insane geniuses in one town, able to talk about everything.

I’m reading an oral history of the building of the atomic bomb, and it’s pretty wild how secrecy was maintained. The only way was sequestering everyone and then allowing open communication within.

Flightaware live tracking from my app over the middle east showing no traffic over Iran and all flights diverting north or south. A ton of planes over Turkmenistan just north of Iran

(Clocking in for my first day at work as air traffic controller in Turkmenistan)
Alright, should be a pretty chill Sunday, let's see who we've got in the air

Leave it to Lyft to definitely not track your movements or save your history. Here’s to saving $10.

Abe, it’s not “cool” or not, but very different in a lot of ways. I’m poor as dust living in New York but I’m glad I get to, for example, wander the Met for free on a whim. That’s fun!

I literally had the drunkest, sleepiest guy falling asleep against me and spilling his white claw all over the subway floor at 4:30 this morning on my way to work. Violently nudged him a bunch with no response until his friend finally woke him up at their stop. Humorlessness indeed.

There’s so much grass in these world class parks we get to hang out at. Or beaches. Or trails if we take a train for a little bit.

I very-annoyingly, and righteously, say “I’ve gotta get back to the city” when I’m hanging out in Chicago. It’s understandable.

Anyone that goes through puberty a second time voluntarily is basically a hero on the bleeding edge of humanity.

They would be a huge, huge act of bravery at this point.
