You’re such pests. In your depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Well, whatever it is you want, I can’t deliver because I just don’t see it.

One fascinating cultural practice of the Sarmatians is that they would gather together and stand in a line to block off closed roads.

Just move to Portmeiron and you’ll get your own canopied penny-farthing.

This got a bonus chuckle from me.

For sure, but that’s exactly what I was doing. OP linked an article, I thought the framing of the Gemini conversation by the author was a strange choice, and I commented on it.

I can’t say I’ve ever felt any particular obligation to only talk about the direct subject of the article (the threatening message) and not the way the article is written, but maybe I could have led into my observation more clearly?

It’s a quote from the linked article.

Not to distract from the inappropriate response from the bot, but:

In a back-and-forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for aging adults

Read: "during a session where a student copied and pasted their assignment questions one-by-one into Gemini instead of actually answering them himself…

Cadbury have truly gone to elite trite unite.

…and if you’re able, warm up before you step outside. Jog on the spot, do some stretches or light bodyweight exercise, bring your extremity temperature up a bit.

I’m guessing it’s the last name listed here on Wikipedia?

I find this useful, personally, but I would like to see an additional “block and hide.”

The anti-Israel crowd

“Harris is the better choice in this fucking awful dilemma the US electoral system gives us” is not pro-Israel. It was a pragmatic option to reduce the damage a little, to lead the US down a better road domestically, and to leave the door open to later activism to stop the genocide where there was no viable third voting option.

Please don’t conflate a Harris vote with a pro-Israel stance.

No, regrettably there won’t be a major UI overhaul as part of GIMP 3, it’s very much under-the-hood improvements. From what I’ve seen, the maintainers are very open to a UI overhaul, but they don’t have the right contributors to do it in a significant way.

That said, functionality like text outlines aren’t really a UI/UX feature in the main.

No one with any intellectual honesty thinks that Harris is a communist.

Voting for a fascist makes a person categorically a fascist. And by accepted measures of fascism, such as Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism, you’d have to do some major rhetorical gymnastics to conclude anything else.

Why stop there? Time to campaign for fee, hee, jee, kee, etc.

L, M, N and O get a free pass because they’re really just a prefix to P, not letters in their own right.

Not sure about density, but birds that aren’t adapted to water don’t produce the oil and don’t have the interlocking feathers to trap air and make them float very well. And you’ll find plenty of rescue videos of birds struggling to get out of water they’ve accidentally ended up in, e.g. owls, pigeons.

I’m yet to see a convincing, authoritative historical source on the “whale killer” factoid. Follow the trail on asesina-ballenas and Basque fishermen and you get nowhere.
