Ah, the innocence of youth.

I have heard that spore prints are a reliable way of determining mushroom species (removing the stem, putting the underside of the mushroom on an ink pad, pressing against paper, and comparing the print with those of known species).

I bet an AI could analyze that data pretty well. But since there's really no market for such a product, if I want it, I would have to make it myself. In which case I highly advise against using it because I really don't trust me.

It stands for adjusted gross income. Ignore the AI wave. Do your taxes!

That wasn't bombing. That was littering with style.

Can I guess? Are you the tree?

Everyone in this thread ignoring that sushi refers to the style and preparation of the rice. The rolled sushi is maki, literally "to roll."

And what happens with the cat?

Send it to one of those people who make you read their life story before showing you the recipe. They'll turn it into 30.

Just waiting for the day when they start calling out those of us who make all our passwords easy to type with one hand.

I dealt with a really odd issue a couple years ago where a problem with my external IP was causing DNS requests to route incorrectly and as a result, I couldn't log into certain gaming services. I tried leaving my modem off all night to get the ISP to auto-assign a new external IP which fixed it for a few hours, and then the change was detected and I got reverted to my original IP.

Trying to talk to Comcast support about this was so painful. I'd wait to get connected to a human, and as kindly as possible, I'd try to explain that this is not a typical issue and before we get into the usual script, let me tell you the diagnostics I've done. All the various changes, reboots, and resets I've tried on both the modem and router, which has led me to the conclusion of the issue being in DNS routing. But inevitably, they would respond with some version of, "So, first, can I have you locate the power button on your modem?" When they finally understood what I was trying to tell them, they'd say, "So, let me escalate this to my supervisor. They'll call back shortly." By which they meant, they'll call you in nine hours at five in the morning. Not my favorite experience.

Had not considered this. The rate at which I'm offering telephones and then withholding them is actually criminal.
