Let’s be real. You neither have the ham or the clamp. Like the miserable person you are. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go put my le farm in, and then take my le farm out. That’s how do you do the hokey pokey, you know.

This looks tasty af.
Pro-tip for anyone with a rice cooker: You can throw frozen veggies in with the rice and it will come out perfect. Season with your favorite boullion. You’ll even end up with a milliard reaction with the rice/boullion on the bottom which enhances the flavor.

Because human experience alone is too dull for a being existing in a vast universe with trillions of stars. Slip on the metaphysical shoes of some other creature every now and then and marvel how utterly alien human existence actually is. And we’re just one tiny wet rock, spinning around an unremarkable star, in an out of the way spiral arm of an unremarkable galaxy among an endless sea of pinpoints of light.

Might drop phone into the shitty toilet! But if the camera is specifically designed for my toilet, can’t drop it in! What an amazing product idea for people like me! Also, I don’t tell you your hobbies are dumb. If you’re curious, I have a graphed some data showing my normal distribution of bristol scale output for the last few years. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to fish the phone out of the toilet to collect that data (don’t worry, it’s waterproof, so it gets rinsed off during the flush).

From a dog’s perspective that lives in an urban area, this makes perfect sense. Humans are fascinated with poop, collected in bags, and stored in the park bins. Why wouldn’t they put cameras in their toilets?

fr. It is more shocking that they didn’t even bother to properly agentify the chatbot with tools so it can do store look up or inventory availability, you know, the things that people coming to the damn website might want. The lack of guardrails on conversation topics is just icing on the cake: they didn’t even bother to think of ways to limit their liability or even funnel customers into giving them money. That said I’m going to guess the websites for brick and mortar are delegated to marketing firms which sub-contract out the work. Client wanted AI. Client got AI.

- Comment on Rush hour traffic in Utrecht, Netherlands 4 weeks ago:
FTA:
Even the Fietsersbond cyclist association is changing its tone, while stressing that there is no excuse for reckless drivers or poor infrastructure. “We have the position that helmets don’t prevent accidents but it can be a wise decision to wear one on a voluntary basis,” said its director, Esther van Garderen. “Emphasising too much that you should wear a helmet would discourage people from cycling sometimes, though, and has the air of victim-blaming. I think it’s coming slowly, although there’s no such thing as a society with zero danger and we value our culture where you can cycle safe and free.”
Seems like a soft position from Fiestersbond and for good reason. I read your article and then followed the sources and looked up the actual numbers. And you need to STFU with your helmet opinion and actually think about the articles you read/link and their sources. According to the same links sourced in the article(!), the CBS says in 2023, people here in NL over the age of six (roughly 15-16m people) traveled over 1000km each by bike in the year. So just shy of 3km a day by bike. Millions upon millions of trips per fucking year. How many of those millions of trips resulted in a crash? 120k. Wow, that seems like a lot doesn’t it? How many people cycle on any given day? According to wikipedia, which cites a EU travel report, 36%. So 5.4m-ish people, making at least one trip per day makes it almost 2 billion trips over an entire fuckin year (5.4m * 365 == 1.97b). So, of those 2 billion trips, we have 120k crashes. Which is… hold on, let me paste it from the calculator because it has so many fucking zeros: 0.000060882800609.
Now, let’s do some math. How likely is it that you will be in a crash in a given year?
No-crash probability per trip:
1−0.00006=0.99994.Annual no-crash probability (365 trips):
(0.99994)^365≈0.9783.Annual crash probability:
1−0.9783=0.0217 or 2.17%.So a 1 in 46 chance of being in a crash in a given year from cycling one trip every day and of those crashes, less than half are serious. Over my 1000km I cycle. Get the fuck outta here with “very common” from your shit article.

They are a thing. But most people are gonna ride a beater that if it gets stolen, no big deal. ebikes in particular are a big target for theft, especially the shitty fat tire ones. In fact, ebikes are becoming a bit of a nuisance because of the speed difference between them and regular bikes. In Amsterdam, we already force the mopeds (ICE or electric) to be on the street with the cars. And the city will vote soon to ban the fat tire ebikes from Vondelpark because of the nuisance they cause among heavy mixed traffic. There have been complaints to the city that older people don’t feel safe on the fietspad any more because of the big speed difference and I agree with them. The fietspad should be for everyone, not only the fastest.
- Comment on Rush hour traffic in Utrecht, Netherlands 4 weeks ago:
Not really that necessary in NL. Most people are cruising the city at 18-20kph. The fietsers on the ebikes obviously go faster, but in heavy traffic, you’re not gonna go full speed anyhow.

This is one of the busiest bike intersections in Utrecht. It is right by the central train station. When the camera pans right, you can see the exterior of the amazing bike parking structure that sits under the plaza in front of the station and shopping mall.
