No, my uncle has a private pilot license and took me up while I was still in college. He talked me through a landing.

I would love to see you smiling in the background of a courtroom as she faces justice!

Until December of last year was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff.
In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code.

Entering day four of "no phone because it broke and I can't get to an apple store", AMA

I left it outside in the sun and when went to pick it up, it was saying
"temperature too high! let phone cool down before using again", and then within a few hours it was gone

Why @why.bsky.team
Okay, so full transparency. I did dip it in a pool after it said it was too hot.
I was told not to do that before doing so, but my hubris said "nah these things are waterproof" and into the swim it went.
I go in the pool when I want to cool down, why can't my phone?

I’m glad there’s a new head of communications. I wish they’d dump this loser:

More people voted in the TX Democratic Primary than Republican. So I’m still holding out hope more Ds show up in November than Rs…and the GOP/MAGA doesn’t suppress the vote again.

Yeah, but how many Nazi tattoos have you covered up with different Nazi tattoos?

Have they started building these shitty hotels yet?

Wait, “the call”? This wasn’t even in person? Ugh. Come on!

I’m surprised these countries haven’t ordered retaliatory air strikes against Trump’s international hotels. …or his other properties.

A tiny, rounded minivan with a single windshield wiper. Tiny wheels are located at the very back and behind the front doors. It looks like if you braked hard, the thing would roll over forward.

As a Libra, I guess I have to buy from here: www.libraautomobiles.com/index.html

At least they have this cute thing:

I avoided trailers, so everything was a complete surprise…including the entire plot. Best book I’ve read in years! (Not that I’m a big reader.)

I can tell you the alien’s fate if you really want.

Is buying a car in Ireland as much of a pain in the ass as it is here?

Also vote to impeach. He has committed international crimes!
Even if you don’t think it will pass, get the GOP on the record so we know who needs to face consequences later.

I was born in Maine, but currently live in CA. Can you get a better social team that’s not posting screenshots from Elon Musk’s horror show and not even bothering to use ALT text?

I’m getting the idea that her social team is out of touch with reality and thinks X is still important.

As a constituent, I’m glad you won’t be at the SOTU…but I wish NO Democrats would show up. They should all either simply not show or silently walk out at the first dumb thing Trump says (like 10 seconds in maybe?)…but not give the GOP a chance to fill empty seats.

Concern is not enough. What we need is courage.

From what I saw in luge, I don’t think the drones have microphones. The whine seems to get louder when they pass cameras.

I’d be thrilled if she took Schumer’s seat.
A primary or the grave are the only two things that could end his “leader” status.

and there it basically is. This is one of the reasons they are trying to force putting your IDs on the internet.

I used to follow a Daily Jucika account on The Bad Place. I forgot about it until today.
