As I passed the store I could see more than the back of his head. It was Tony Shalhoub.

I'm guessing the guy subconsciously clocked that you were famous, figured you were with the other famous people in town, and then struggled to explain his rationale to *himself*, hence the floundering.

Not "that is <particular celebrity>" or "I *know* I've seen this person before." I had no idea who it might be, but, going off of his general bearing alone, I could tell that he was someone who appeared in front of a camera for a living.

People are pretty good at picking up on the subtle signs that someone is comfortable in front of an audience.

Once I was walking through an airport and saw a man, by himself, from behind, looking at something in an airport store. I immediately, subconciously registered "that is a celebrity."

By "religious beliefs" they mean "abortion should be treated as murder," "women should require their father's consent to marry," "being gay should be illegal," etc.

Wait, so AI models across the world are all insisting that you wrote a specific paper that doesn't exist?

Are we sure this is not, umm, a job for the SCP foundation?

I was just joking around here, but I just saw "co-creator of Halt and Catch Fire" in your bio and now I am actually going to need you to make this.

I don't know who you are or why this ended up in my feed, but, judging by your profile picture, you do look more like the books' description of James Bond than anyone who's played him on-screen.

Could be a daughter for that matter, because I'm pretty sure Briscoe isn't a real name and so it may as well be unisex.

Briscoe County, Jr. continues to be played by Bruce Campbell and the revived show is set in the 1920s

Not necessarily something *I* want to write for, but one thing America clearly needs is a reboot of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" where we teach everyone why antibiotics and vaccines are vital necessities and why snake oil salesmen should be run out of town on a rail.

Will Ferrell bought the rights to Manimal a while back with the idea of developing it into a movie, but I guess that got scrapped.

Jack Boyle has been dead for nearly 100 years, so the original Boston Blackie character is definitely public domain now. Have at it!

Can some in the Bhutan area please help this cow that's wandered onto a winding mountain highway? #geoguessr

(Any experts want to guess the location?)

Image from geoguessr (i.e., google street view) of a man going down the highway on a donkey-driven platform with two wheels. The man is standing upright and wearing a LeBron jersey, shorts, and sandals.

Got in a round of geoguessr while waiting for a longer compile to finish, and it decided to start me out looking at the dictionary definition of "this guy is cooler than you will ever be."

Hmm... I have no idea what any of this is, but if the jars live in a grid-shaped box, perhaps a matching stirrer could be built that's a sheet of plastic with 24 to 112 pins sticking out of it.

Then you just insert it into all the bottles at once and stir them at the same time using a handle?

The Brent oilfield is a (now-defunct) offshore oil field in the UK (which was named after a species of goose). "Brent crude oil" is oil from that oilfield or a suitable substitute; if you're listening to the news, you'll often hear them mention what the price of Brent crude oil is today.

For all its problems, Texas had a few universities that were the envy of much of the nation. Looks like that's going away now.

"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book."

"Zero external impact"?

I guess if you're not counting the fact that you gain the ability to add new features in 1/10 the time with 1/10 the bugs...

Models of ZF + not C have no right to be called "set theories."

I said what I said.

How does it hurt Trump?

My sense of the situation is that they are trying to remove any serious professionals from the military and turn it into something they can use against American civilians.

Honestly, he can't possibly be this stupid. I think this persona is for the base (who legitimately *are* this stupid), but he's more like Postmaster DeJoy or Energy Secretary Perry -- he's been put in charge of something in order to destroy it.

Give it to me, I'll eat it. I don't understand why more places don't serve these today.

Of course I also don't understand why they got rid of the kind of "nightclub" where you sit at a table and watch a stage show.

Why would there be food waste?

I mean, it would probably work. How many editors are used to standing up to that kind of pressure?

A poster on the wall containing random words tangentially related to molecular biology, like "proteins," "chemical," and "pneumoniae."

Should I be concerned that the lab drawing my blood apparently typed "molecular biology poster" into ChatGPT and hung the result on the wall?

And anything that can drive through a solid pane of glass like it's Kleenex would absolutely obliterate a tiny human body.

I'll say what I said when you posted this yesterday: it's insane to let something with that kind of power operate on our sidewalks. A kid sprinting down the sidewalk outside his home without paying sufficient attention should not be in mortal danger.

If anyone can figure it out I'd love to know what it was
