Evolution might just block out certain frequencies. No need to go completely deaf.

Norway has a weird obsession with making translated acronyms for well established terms. Lately, after many years of use of “AI”, the Language Council decided that the term should be changed to “KI”, as that is the “correct” Norwegian acronym. Not only does it feel wrong to say, but it invades another local acronym for me.

To top it of, that council decided to make “KI-generated” the “word of the year”, which seems like a pat on their own shoulder to brilliantly making the acronym.

I hate it.

Can we take a second to appreciate that those hands were drawn very well? Like, most times I draw a hand, it just ends up looking like a stupid blob, but this poster has gotten the shape and proportions pretty decently. And not just once, but twice. Good.

My experience:

“Oh, well, here you need to download an app, consent to everything the app wants to do and register with your phone number. Then you can order and walk to the kitchen to pick up the food you ordered. Also, leave a tip if you enjoyed the service.”

I might be the dumb one in this one, but HR asked me if I know “design patterns”.

“I mean, yes, I know some design patterns. Any specific?”

“No, just if you are familiar with design patterns.”

“I mean, there are builder, strategy, sigleton, factory etc. Is the question really not more specific?”

“My paper just asks if the dev is familiar with design patterns.”

“Ok. Yes.”

After a short while, the library owners would realize that they could make a lot more money if they served alcohol in the evenings.

Cross country skiing. It’s basically expected for every kid in school to be adaquate at cross country skiing. P. E. classes during winter could often consist of a ski trip, and a couple times per year the schools would arrange ski days with different acrivities on skis.

That sounds both crazy and not actually wildly far fetched. If the tables were turned and Trump was in the position of having the power to declare Biden’s movement as an enemy and carry out violent ways to stop them, I would almost expect it to happen.

If it’s a firm cheese, you are probably fine. Where I’m from, it’s pretty common knowledge that mold on regular firm cheese is pretty much contained within the visible spot and ~1-2 cm outwards from the spot. So cut away a decent chunk around the spot, and you’ll probably be fine.
