Look, I don't want to be a stereotype but my male, frail and pale ass can't do any of these.

I wish the people that invented English were more consistent in word suffixes. Take "PA" for example:
BPA - Negative / Poison / Bad for baby bottles.
Spa - Positive / Relaxing / Massages and Nails.

I tried watching "The Shrink Next Door", but in the middle of episode 3 I just realized I was not enjoying it at all. I need to find a to read spoilers as I am interested in the end, but not the journey (as it was very obvious how it was going).

I realize this is a very niche tweet but man monster train is a cool game and anyone that has played it might find this screenshot amusing.

I wonder how this will impact 3d printing.

The ban on manufacture and import of the plastics comes into effect in December 2022 with the ban on sale a year later. https://www.newwestrecord.ca/bc-news/west-van-mp-highlights-federal-plan-for-single-use-plastics-ban-5499562??utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=snd

So, the technology works pretty well. But I find I can't just "talk" at it, I am kind of mentally forcing myself to write in document prose. Dunno how to break that.

(Going to try the built-in office 365 one)

I'm really finding writing long documents hard. It's not the writing, but rather the long part. It's hard for me to stay focused (even with my meds). Does anyone have recommendations for a good speech-to-text option specifically for document writing/dictation? Mac Preferred.

I'm sorry if I'm calling out any of my mutuals, but gender reveal parties are the dumbest things ever.

The American pipeline from “white people never heard of Juneteenth” to “white people exploiting Juneteenth to make profits from and off the black communities” was way too swift. One year?

This is a depressing shot of reality.

University-based research needs ethics approval and guess who would have the last word to allow or not data collection to proceed ?… Yes, it would be the MoH, Health Authorities or hospitals. Odds of getting REB approval is zero…
