Another Google AI derp: it said just now that the distance between Banda Aceh and Flores Island in Indonesia is 620 miles -- more like 2,890 miles!

As with the question about normal saline in one of the above posts, I wouldn't have spotted the error if I didn't already have a feel for the correct value.

AI answers to online searches are not at all reliable.

Maybe he thought he was a dog or a cat or identified as a furry.

those are most likely therians, Marine layer. They tend to do that a lot. If you think having a gamer back is painful, think about crawling on all 4s. Though, I think we did that a lot as kids going up the stairs back in the good ol' days.
 
Well, just ate a pepperoni sandwich; I went to the fridge and found out that the pepperoni expired five months ago and was just chilling in the back of my fridge. Didn’t smell or taste weird, so I’ll find out in about 20 minutes whether I was poisoned or not. :(

Was from Jungle Jim’s down in Cincinnati, though, so probably will be fine.

The storm [that then totalled Rolling Fork minutes later] knows how to party. Now just give it some tunes.

Ok even I'm doubting an overnight disaster now. I think we are safe. [Claremore and Valley View ensued]

Now to focus on tomorrow. Which will almost certainly drop a major tornado outbreak given 2024’s weird track record

That’s [EF3 165] most likely going to be the rating though for the reasons I mentioned. [EF4 190 resulted]

Yeah this one may be finished outside of a QLCS event [Greensburg-Plevna supercell ensued]

I just deadass had a dream in my 30 minute nap I just took in which there was an old 80s synthpop ballad (think Spandau Ballet's "True") by Dead or Alive (The band that made "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)") called "The Power of Magic", that was made for an 80s romcom and played in an earthquake scene that the romcom had for some reason.

The "length" section on its Wikipedia article went, almost verbatim:

Length
3:38 (album/7" single version)
4:53 (Greatest Hits version)

Its B-side was a song called "W.A.D." (We All Die) which was about a nuclear disaster and was available in a "nuclear elevator mix" that ran 9:00 and a "nuclear elevator left mix" that ran 8:30. Those times aren't estimations, btw. Those are exactly what I read in the dream.

I also heard "The Power of Magic" on my local rock station, except all of the names of the songs on it were jumbled up into word salad and the bumps were changed and had a video element added to them as well. It had very Joshua and the Promised Land like animation and featured a rabbit yelling and his head exploding... in a terrible effect as his head fell backwards out of frame.

This would make a great r/thomastheplankengine post, ngl.

Wait is the song???



Are you sure you aren't sleep searching wikipedia? :)
 
Hope all of you are doing well! I haven’t logged on in a while!

Life change for me!

Took on a larger role with the company I work for. That moved me from an hour north of ATL to Southern Illinois. Life moves at a different pace in Farm Country!


They have lots of spin ups around here in the spring. Looking forward to giving the ground truth snow accumulation this winter!
