BSG is an interesting example. I'm in the middle of a rewatch. Yes on the Earth aspect.

But the opening credits always mention that the cylons have a plan. After the show was over Ronald D. Moore, the show runner, admitted they made up that line because it sounded cool. There was no cylon plan. Disappointing as that part of the show's mythology was teased and I would have liked to know more.

Not we, the Daily Beast is one overly dramatic headline away from a tabloid.

Yeah AI is great for this kinda stuff. My personal favorite use is "make is concise"

Canada is shifting its energy exports away from the U.S. toward European and Asian markets due to American protectionist tariffs. This strategic diversification of Canadian oil, gas, and minerals could weaken U.S. energy security and global influence while raising American energy costs. Canada's resources currently benefit the U.S. by supporting reserves, lowering costs, and enabling exports. As Canada develops more capacity to supply global allies directly, particularly with electricity that could power America's growing AI sector, this reorientation may significantly alter global energy geopolitics.

15-25% usually 20%. I have worked for tips so I get it.

My wife tipped 25% at an ice cream parlor last night. Which I thought was ridiculous considering he just pulled three pints out of a freezer behind him.

It's too many places now.

I like being a generalist. But yes also ADHD.

Same here, except from Anxiety. Maybe this is just being human?

First I've seen extending this to restaurants. That seems a bit much. Most restaurants around me are small businesses. Not cool for the folks trying to keep a single place afloat.

I want to go back to my 300 baud 70s.
