On average, it takes about 11,350 bees to produce a single 8oz bottle of honey. These bees would collectively visit millions of flowers and fly thousands of miles to gather the nectar needed to produce that small amount.

This goes without saying for all embargoes. It’s just interesting that they said it. I’ll bet it’s because Congress loves their TikTok. Do you think they watch French Rich Kid?

You can vacation in Wyoming, it will be the hold out state. They’ll have places where you can drive cars free on the open road, so you can feel what it’s like to press a pedal, turn a wheel, and for the extra sporty, shift a gear.

Robotaxis: It would be safer, more cost efficient, more democratic, & less expensive for people to have fed gov line the roads with sensors and traffic control can control the flow. Want to be free? Ride a bicycle.

The glasses are terrible. #1 The worst is that the Meta co limits features to get you to have your data "always on" for no good technical reasons. #2 photo quality is horrible compared to an iPhone. #3 music quality is worse than literally anything else, even a mono transistor radio on an airplane.

I have the Rayban glasses but I can’t bring myself to say ‘Hey Meta’. They don’t offer any settings to change it. I say ‘Hey Beta’

A digital archivist is "using the Internet Archive’s 'GIFcities' search tool to uncover Palestine-related media files and reconstruct pages originally hosted on old web platforms like GeoCities, Angelfire, and AOL Hometown." Cool as hell. www.vice.com/en/article/5...

Q: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon

I have been totally engrossed as a user of ChatGPT, it’s my favorite software of all time and I use it a lot. My takeaway from the snafu this past week is that there are too few people in charge & too few involved overall which centralizes power in a bad way.

The war in Gaza shows the *ultimate* problem of human society. What it comes down to: it’s not fair that some of us get to have a comfortable home in a comfortable city with safety & opportunities while others do not. This coincidental fate leaves no actual justification for anyone to be anywhere.

After a dozen years with almost no other activity on the YouTube account aside from the defacto Nyan Nyan Cat video, a pro-Palestinian video that begins with the Nyan Nyan theme breaks into a war support video.

The video was taken down from YouTube with a claim by PrGuitarman (Chris Tores) and moved to a channel he owns, presumably over differences of viewpoints related to the war in Gaza.
