updating to "probably (70%) rescued and they're trying to keep it under wraps which is why people keep spreading the story on personal accounts but there's no official confirmation in either direction"
English
likely confirmed now, except i guess "us government official" is uh pretty thin and anyway this administration just says shit

Al Jazeera reports that the downed F-15E WSO has been rescued by US forces.

@jbulltard1 Some people have had success by only allowing replies from followers and followers of followers.

Me to the Claude support bot just now: "Another screenshot for more context. Please pass on to the human."

@JeremiahDJohns Super handy with family and friends. Some people not into it though, clearly.

I've never understood the whole 'share your location' thing and it has me worried I'm turning into Old Man Yelling At Clouds
Neither I nor my wife have ever shared location (with anyone). I didn't even know it was a thing people did. Seems bizarre, but apparently is normal?

i once dated someone and we got into a playful argument about why they wouldn’t share location “i’m a very private person, this feels like it’s moving too fast, that’s a big step” months later, after it didn’t work out, we were friends and i said “ok i need your location for logistics” he admitted the real reason he wouldn’t share it was because he never left the house and didn’t want anyone to see

There's a passage in Jane Austen's Emma about how our heroine makes incredibly thoughtful lists of books she's going to read - chosen with great care, intelligence and judgment - and then never reads them.
Sometimes I see people on this app and think of that passage.

Imagine if the soldier was rescued many hours ago but US Army isn't announcing it yet so that they can keep bringing clueless IRGC terrorists up on the mountain to massacre them like rats in a big trap.

@Lola_lmao7 Try “normal” milk next time. Totally won’t cause any issues at all 🤭

> be in café
> order cappuccino with Regular milk
> barista asks “what’s your regular milk?”
> freeze for 2 full seconds

Rather than correctly identify that the AI had fucked up the rug, they replicated the fuckup irl by putting down strips of rug….?

I asked gemini to give my basement a glow up and then went out and bought all the actual furniture. First is the nano banana mockup; second is the actual room as it looks today; third is the original photo of the room that nano banana was working off of.

Have I lost my mind, because mine is arranged by author…

@SurrealistShip I read this as Cowork and assumed you were grappling with how to price tokens 🤦♂️
English
Coworker is having a real dilemma. $1 for the tooth fairy seems too low, $5 seems way too high.
What's a parent to do these days?

@vladgeorgescu In a parallel dimension, I dropped by newly bought iPhone onto my newly bought iPad, shattered the iPad screen but had to pay full price for the replacement. Somehow I still remained an Apple fanboi 🤷♂️
English
16 years ago I waited in a long line outside the apple store to buy the first ipad. I was so excited to walk home with it!
The very next morning I dropped it on the bathroom floor and cracked the screen. And I don’t mean a tiny crack. It was completely wrecked. There was no apple care back then. I wasn’t earning that much. I was devastated.
I went back to the apple store to see if they can replace the screen and how much it would cost. I was afraid the only solution was to buy a new one.
“Hi how can I help you?”
“I’m a dumbass” and showed him the cracked screen.
“Oh man. Let me see what I can do.”
He took my cracked ipad somewhere in the back. About ten minutes later he came back. He was holding a box.
“Be more careful next time.”
He handed me a brand new ipad. For free. I couldn’t believe it. He didn’t have to do that. He could’ve just said “sorry nothing we can do” but instead he went and persuaded his boss to do a good deed for a complete stranger.
I don’t think stuff like this happens anymore. But 16 years ago, that interaction with an apple store employee left a profound mark on me.

Bluey has entire episodes centred around cricket and State of Origin, but none about Aussie rules. Much to think about.

Just realized they made the clueless dad in a Bluey episode a Victorian and I've never felt more disrespected.

@pitdesi I like it! Not to mention the lady in the picture is very engaged with the content on her phone. Relatable!

We had a spare room at the back of our place doing absolutely nothing for years
I asked Gemini what to do with it and implemented the suggestions. I don’t love everything about the room (open to changes!) but now we use the room every day.

@sydney_ev @penrithcouncil Such a great idea. All the incentives line up.
