Today in 1975, 48 years ago: in the Nevada atomic test area (about 100 km northwest of the city of Las Vegas), at 9:00 am (local time), the United States detonates its 7 kiloton Marsh atomic bomb 427 m underground. It is the 851st of 1132 bombs that the United States detonated between 1945 and 1992.
This might be a cultural thing but I have major beef with the American habit of scheduling meetings during lunch. It's fucking rude.
The blade had dulled over three summers, it had some fairly sizable nicks in it and I decided to purchase a replacement for about $28. That did it. It's as good as new. I'll try and repair the old one and use it as a spare, but I need some tools.
My 40v 20" Ryobi electric mower - which had previously been one of my favorite purchases started to perform really badly this summer. It would clog constantly, and seemed to be consuming the battery a lot faster. The problem was my ignorance of mowers.

I asked for a paragraph to be edited on our website, instead they gave me CMS access. I hope you like memes and cat gifs, you lazy bastards.
My 7yr old sat on a lawn tractor outside Home Depot. He said "I wish you would buy me one of these. *Finally* I would go where I want"

all posts about moons are subtooting me
I'm watching a news story about bus shortages in North Allegheny. But there's a twist, this is the district buses being used for private school kids, because that's how it works here.
Take your own fucking kids to private school. Taxpayer subsidizing your brat's transport and you have the nerve to complain. Fuck off.

“Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’”
More accurately, AI researchers have always said that this isn’t fixable but y’all were too obsessed with listening to con artists to pay attention but now the con is wearing thin. https://fortune.com/2023/08/01/can-ai-chatgpt-hallucinations-be-fixed-experts-doubt-altman-openai/
Someone's put the absolutely brilliant soundtrack to Mike Leigh's 'Naked' on the 'tubes.
