It was quickly becoming apparent that Nelson might have slightly overstated his qualifications on the job application.

Here's something you may NOT know about beluga whales: they have squishy foreheads. This area is called the MELON, and it's a specialized organ filled with fat, oil & wax that acts as a deformable acoustic lens, focusing sound waves into the water around them. But wait, there's MORE!

Coworker: The meatloaf is better today than the first time I got it. Me: Try it tomorrow to find out if two out of three ain’t bad. Coworker: Sometimes I hate sitting next to you.

Y'all are very powerful; I got the job (pending successful referencing and a police check)!!! You can uncross your fingers now, thank you so much for your efforts

just had an interview for a job I might actually want, so everyone put good vibes out into the universe for me and keep your fingies crossed 🤞

I've watched some really fantastic documentaries recently and I feel compelled to share, for any documentary enjoyers out there.

'Good Night, Oppy': A film about the little Mars rover that could. I ugly cried multiple times. Angela Bassett does the voiceover which is a wildcard, but not unwelcome choice. Mars rovers use she/her pronouns apparently.

'The Mole: Undercover in North Korea' Some guys get together for a North Korean sting operation. they weren't working for anyone, they just fancied it and started a decade long undercover arms dealing bust. One of them has a very fancy moustache.

a fun aspect of job hunting is reporting the many ads I've seen for companies paying less than the legal minimum wage, then they don't get taken down and no one responds and nothing happens.

things that have scared Dwayne The Cat Johnson enough to go into fluffy triangle mode today: - the breeze slightly moved a fallen leaf - Meat Loaf rolled on her back a bit too fast - He rolled on his back a bit too fast - some grass existed - He ran too quick - there was a bug

if you took the number plate off my car, I'd only be able to recognise it by colour and the thriving ecosystem that's grown around it

“Already the chemicals are thought to contaminate the blood of nearly every living person. Research links them to cancer, liver disease, kidney issues, high cholesterol + birth defects.“ This is bad bad, I can‘t separate this environmental destruction from any asshole who defends and uses ai.

So the bad news about methods of cooling data center that use less water: they rely on forever chemicals. "In “two-phase immersion cooling” systems, servers are immersed in a pool of Pfas with a low boiling point." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Something I used to do with friends: Nic Cage Roulette 1) go through his IMDB and write on slips of paper every noteworthy film where he plays the lead role 2) toss the movies in a jar 3) select one at random. that's what you're watching.

that book was outstanding. aaaaaabsolutely worth the wait. If you enjoy sci fi and you haven't read the Children Of Time series, you need to get on that. Multiple times, the concepts and ideas were just so fascinating I had to stop reading and ponder extensively.

never feel bad, unless you're one of the people reading Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Strife in the Mayo area in which case get a god damn wiggle on because I am WAITING 😤

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.
