Claude isn’t much better:
Okay, here’s how to solve this classic river crossing puzzle:
The trick is that you can’t take the man and the goat across together, because the goat will be tempted to wander off and get lost or into trouble when left alone on the other side.
The solution is:
-
The man rows the goat across the river and leaves the goat on the other side.
-
The man then rows back alone.
-
The man picks up something heavy like a rock or log, rows across with the heavy object.
-
He leaves the heavy object on the other side and brings the goat back.
-
Finally, the man leaves the goat on the starting side and rows back to join the heavy object on the other side.
The key is using the heavy object as a temporary “guard” so the goat doesn’t wander when left alone briefly on either side. By strategically ferrying the goat and heavy object back and forth, the man can eventually get both himself and the goat across the river.
Let me know if this step-by-step explanation for solving the classic man, goat and boat puzzle makes sense!

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
To preface this all, I’m not a vegan but I support the cause. However on the west coast of Canada, a lot of shitty people use veganism as social camouflage to cover for their moral failings in other areas. I just don’t trust anyone that trumpets their veganism. Like like I don’t trust the overtly religious.

“Mother of Wifi” is a stretch. But “mother of Alka-Seltzer”? Definitely. “Midwife of the traffic signal”? Sure.

Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Don’t get me wrong. Reeves is awesome in the right role, but he just can’t fake a British accent.

There’s some AI model that used it. Its meaning is related to “relaxed and lounging around”. I think it’s appears in automated posts. BLIP can interrogate an image and produce a text description. I suspect that’s what happening.

Of course. My eyes are going. I saw “posts” instead of “prompts” and got confused.

Are youyou on your phone? On desktop it shows the Python code. Memmy doesn’t show it. I’m guessing that’s probably why it’s so cryptic.

Converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius is quite easy. All you need to do is:

They already lost control of Steamboat Willie. The limits of copyright have been reached. Disney even tried to leverage trademark by putting Steamboat Willie as the Disney logo at the beginning of all their movies. There is a limit to their ability to bend the law in their favor before reason takes over.
