Right? Or when you have to solve a captcha in order to pay a bill. If a robot is trying to pay my bill for me, let them!

I had a dream that a flock of birds was swooping and pecking at me, and I (in the dream) coined the term "pecquerel" as a new SI unit indicating how much you're being pecked by birds.

And of course, the resulting fleet of planes are all slightly misshapen and none of them can fly very well, but the 4-year-olds deflect any criticism as simple jealousy that you don't have your own crudely folded paper airplane.

The look of the Cybertruck and Elon's hype about it reminds me of a 4-year-old holding a crudely folded paper airplane and loudly declaring that it is the "fastest jet EVER." And all the other 4-year-olds in the daycare clamor for Elon to fold them one too.

I still remember kids in grade school going "save some for the whales!" when someone was taking too long at the drinking fountain.

Bitcoin consumes about 2.5% of US electricity, about the same as all residential cooling. An article decrying *that* electricity usage as a personal moral failing would be much less tone deaf.

Bathroom math is weird. When I see a listing on zillowgonewild for a house with 6br/9ba, it makes me wonder - do they just have 9 full baths, or is it like each bedroom has its own en suite, and then there are six more powder rooms counting as 0.5 each.
