Holy shit, I thought my computer was just running really slowly, but it turns out it was *entirely* due to Chrome. Please Google, just close down.

Offensive question?

What is with New Yorkers and bodegas? I don't get the obsession. I understand that it's nice to have a place you can get stuff you need around the corner, but if you transplant one of these stores to literally anywhere else it's a dingy overpriced shop with low selection. I get it as a need, but not as a thing to get weird about. What am I missing?

I go back and forth a lot on duolingo. It's like... great for aerobics and for filling up a spare 10 minutes, but it'd be great if now and then it really made you struggle for a minute.

Hey AI people, what's up with pest control and fruitpicking? I feel like every year there are cool new robots that seem like they should vastly improve productivity, but it just doesn't seem to take off. Too expensive? Labor too cheap? Doesn't scale? Resistance by farmers?

I write jokes

Dads of mastodon, new thing:

1) Walk into kid's room, quietly, muttering "murrrrder, murrrrrder"

2) Wait for kid to notice you

3) Act surprised. Say, "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry! I thought you were asleep!"

4) Smile broadly, leave room.
