@SkepticsGuide I think this is a regional thing. Where I live you often hear people say “these ones”, as in “We have many kinds of apples. Would you like one of these ones?” I didn’t notice the unnecessary “ones” until a friend from Texas laughed and said “I’ll just have one of these.”

After this week’s “What’s the Word” segment, we want to hear your favorite pleonasms

What would be the scariest message humanity could receive from outer space?

@alistairkeddie @TESLOPOLIS I don’t have a projector. I’ve reached out to a friend who has been on the board of a local film co-op to see if it something they would want. I don’t know how old this print is or if it has any value. It’s interesting as an artifact, though.

@janeetrasler @NatCartoonSoc @Scholastic @rachmatson @KatieCarella @jwchilton Tremendous!

@Jendesroche That’s great!

@JanelleCShane I had the same thought. With anaglyph though you might get some 3D effect by accident.

@edbeals That's a really interesting question! I suspect it would do something that kind of looks like 3D images but doesn't actually work when you put on the glasses or cross your eyes. I'll have to try it!

I decided to experiment with a deliberately ambiguous image-generation prompt: "A gothic wardrobe" With some careful prompt wording I got CLIP+VQGAN to go with the furniture sense of the phrase, although the furniture is very, very, cursed. ai-weirdness.ghost.io/can-i-generate…

@fortmatic Thanks for the fix and info!

For people who are interested in the cause now, will share more details later: "The service disruption was caused by a caching issue our side caused the currency exchange service to go down. We've addressed the issue. Everything is back to operational."

Fix just deployed to prod 🚀 Fortmatic is back and running now! A post-mortem will follow - let us know if you are still seeing issues in the meanwhile 🙏
