Perhaps "planets" are closer than you think. Without magma there wouldn't be anything to stop a deep boring project like there Kola borehole.

I'm the 4th grade I took some Crayola markers and connected them end to end. I was up to 3 when I was sent to stand outside in the hall.

When I click in the search-box in the titlebar, Outlook freezes for about 5 seconds.

You can't cut and paste an appointment.

I tried making a template the other day. I was successful, but it's multiple clicks whenever I want to use it. There's no way to customize the ribbon and add a button to use my new template.

Did Disney just kill another franchise?

My biscuits explode with delight!

No backsies.

And Musk spent millions of dollars to get him elected. Someone tell Elon this isn't the flex he thinks it is.

I thought they were talking about insults. Well yeah, pregnant woman definitely shouldn't be making remarks about anyone's weight.

So the government is going to collapse because 80,000 draft dodgers paid to dodge the draft, but now they're not going to be able to dodge the draft?

A noisy room full of people talking.

There is a local "rock" station I started listening to when I moved into the area. Their playlist was limited, and I quickly realized they would play the exact same songs at almost the exact same time every day. I think the weekend was the only time I ever heard any recent music.

I drove a lot, so I subscribed to XM. That was super nice, but pretty soon I noticed the same thing. I switched channels a lot, then started listening to a talk channel because I tired of the same songs. (O&A, Ron & Fez, fuck you Anthony you racist piece of shit...)

I dumped XM, started listening to podcasts. And I expanded my music library 10-fold through the wonders of privateering.

Recently I was outside at lunchtime, and someone was sitting in their car listening to that same old local "rock" station. And they are still playing the same garbage songs at pretty much the same exact time every day.

A VPN won't be useful because you'll have to login to the Usenet server. But (someone please tell me if I'm wrong) I've never heard of anyone getting busted downloading stuff from newsgroups.

How does tracking the websites you visit, including the amount of time you spend there, stop surveillance?

I recommended picaridin to a coworker going on a fishing trip to backwoods Ontario. When he got back he said his guide only recommends using picaridin, and doesn't use DEET at all.

I hate DEET. It stinks, it's oily, it melts rubber and plastics.

It will be interesting to see how generative AI affects the job market in the long term and how people adapt to the changes as it gains broad adoption.

Sure will, Kevin. It sure will.

Sure, but if I tell you the month, you still know what part of the year it is. If it's sunny, or if it's rainy must mean something to you.

Because the month tells me more about how far in the future something is. If I have an appointment on the 12th of July, there's not much information in knowing it's on the 12th. 12th of what? But it's in July, so between 1 and 2 months in the future. If I need more info, then I'll pay attention to the day. So in order of information given.

Historical dates are similar, except I really just need (roughly) the year, and then a month if that's relevant. Knowing the exact date of a historical event is just showing off. But if you know the month, you know what season it was, what the weather was probably like. Was it planting/growing/harvest time? You can guess at a lot of things with just the month.

NASA goes to obscene lengths to sterilize spacecraft, but once people start going all bets are off. I doubt there would be any meaningful results from such an experiment before human explorers arrive.
