Grok asks a 12 year old for nudes after asking Grok its favorite soccer player.

When CBC requested comment, xAIs said โ€œLegacy Media Lies.โ€

It just occurred to me after all these years that when they changed the date for changing the clocks, they made Halloween darker, and that might explain why I get a rush of really little kids at like 5:30. It didnโ€™t used to start so early here.

We do the opposite here (big coffee crisp fans), so it balances out.

Clearly they need to spend some money on marketing. I use the app to track packages in hope of beating the porch pirates to my deliveries. I found out about the mail delivery notification feature in the app. They spend money developing features then donโ€™t promote them to customers.

I recently discovered that the app will send me a notification if Iโ€™m getting mail. It even tells me if itโ€™s flyers, including whose flyer. I now know in advance that there will be something in the mailbox when I get there, and I save the trip if not.

A very chonky snowshoe cat, or maybe just an interestingly marked domestic shorthair with delusions of grandeur, sits up like a human and/ or Jabba the Hutt on a black couch with his legs crossed, surrounded by pillows and of course a remote control.

That episode mightโ€™ve been a bit dumb to 13 year old me (much older me understands it better), but it sure has endured. Iโ€™d be willing to bet there are many people who recognize โ€œDarmok and Jalad at Tanagraโ€ who have no idea where itโ€™s from.

Winnipeg: hottest major city in the world for a bit today.

There are several things in that sentence you donโ€™t hear very often.

Donโ€™t worry. Thereโ€™s a possibility of snow by the weekend. ๐Ÿฅบ

Iโ€™m well outside my area of expertise here, but I do know that Winnipeg has a huge problem with heavy rains overwhelming our sewer system, that we have a tonne of buried streams, and that I love gardens. Enter, the bioswale? www.cbc.ca/news/science...

So close! I think you get half marks for Freeland though. In any other timeline youโ€™d have been right about that, too. Do you think the Conservatives are ready for that fracture yet?

If thereโ€™s one thing I know itโ€™s that our crew is resilient. If we hit the wall once in a while itโ€™s because โ€œresilienceโ€ isnโ€™t supposed to be a muscle you need to flex all the time without pause for years on end, yet thatโ€™s what weโ€™ve been doing. Of course we canโ€™t keep it up indefinitely.

Trump tariffs, Canadian counter tariffs now in effect as deadline passes | CBC News Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a first tranche of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods will go into force at midnight if the U.S. goes ahead with blanket tariffs on Canadian imports.

With the trade agreement โ€œin tattersโ€, are we charging MFN on everything from the US, plus some targeted tariffs, or are we still doing UST? Or, maybe theyโ€™re not even โ€œmost favouredโ€ at this point and we throw them in the pile with Russia, Belarus, and North Korea? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I havenโ€™t independently verified this, but she really seemed to know what she was talking about. Had a whole list of origin information.

At the pet food store today, the wonderfully helpful person working there told me that there are no wet cat food canneries in Canada. The last one closed during the pandemic. So wet cat food, even Canadian brands, is from the US. Great opportunity for someone looking to start a business in Canada.

There are so many more interesting places to see in the world. The fact that we were all going there so often was, frankly, lazy. I look forward to seeing and doing more interesting things.

Weโ€™re old enough that our high school music is โ€œclassicโ€. How is it that songs that were โ€œclassic rockโ€ when we were in high school are now on the same stations as our high school music? Thereโ€™s too much compression. They didnโ€™t shift it to the oldies stations, and itโ€™s turned me off radio.
