Despite have AI off as much as possible within our Google Workspace at work, today all of my coworkers have received multiple ads / prompts by Google to use Gemini. In Gmail, in Google Meet, and more. Our policies don't allow us to use it so this is just ridiculous.

It was a messed up copy and paste. The article author is Zeyi Yang, the category is Business. And the rest probably came from some hidden content in his viewport when copied to the clipboard.

I don't blame whoever did ban though, hopefully they're willing to reverse it.

Personally, the meaning of life is the one hard coded into nature. Survive and reproduce.

What makes us "sentient" is that we can ignore that and choose our own, or none at all.

Ha, that's been presented as an option. I'm pleasantly surprised I didn't receive the common "just cut your nails properly / some other remedy" response that doesn't apply to my two big toes that have nails that grow backwards into my flesh lol.

Fortunately for me I don't have to worry about infection, rather, I've gotten so used to them prevention is easy. And my one big toe now grows the I ingrown portion somewhat separate, so when I notice it ingrown I can pull it out like a loose tooth. The other one I still have to get operated one once every few years, and because I'm in the lucky % that has nail beds that regrow, the "destroy part of the nailbed" solution only works for a year or so.

Another reason I'm not getting the entire nail remove lol.

Not a DM / etc but our DM had us all fill in a horror questionnaire to gauge what can and cannot be included in campaigns. We never did run a horror TTRPG (yet) but it was a nice thought.

I've been professionally diagnosed depression and sleep disorder for well over a decade and never had any issues with my license or had it come up. I agree, this smells.

The impact of fires started by human error is increased due to climate change. Drier vegetation (and being dry in general) making for faster burning and more violent fires.

As someone with chronic ingrown toenails, paying close attention to where my feet are is second nature. As someone with dogs, doubly so, especially for stairs lol. Those teleporting toys..

I'm unsure if the original inventor is still alive for you to ask that question, but let us know the answer if you do get it.

I just use PLA. PLA itself is good safe, but occasionally the additives aren't, so I don't use any for human related stuff. It's also worth considering that the layered approach can allow for bacterial growth, so unless you treat it (e.g. epoxy seal it), you'll need to wash it fairly frequently to curb buildup.

So far I've helped my team of 5 get on them. Some other teams are starting as well. We've got Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX that developers are running on their work machine (for now), and the only container specific issue we ever encounter is port conflicts, which are well documented with easy to change environment variables to control.

The only real caveat right now is we have a bunch of micro services, and so their supporting services (redis, mariadb, etc.) end up running multiple times, so their is some performance loss from that. But they're all designed to be independent, only talking to each other via their API, so the approach works.

I wouldn't say I've made back my investment on 3D printing in the past half a decade I've done it. But in terms of "prints for friends" like this one above I may be close. Plus there's just something nice about going "I need a measuring cup for dog food" and printing one to the exact serving size.
