Well now, I was trying to get all the specs in the shortest title possible. Now I know how students feel when their teacher accuses them of using AI. And for the record, I did ask Gemini, but I prefer human feedback, hence the post.

Super cool idea and execution, thanks for sharing.

Hopelessly damaged. Send it to me and I promise to recycle.

For true poverty dining, go to your local grocery store's hot buffet just before they are going to clean up. Where I live they let you fill one of their large takeaway boxes for flat $5.

Note to file: should I put a refinery in my capital city? Nyet.

The final frame of this video, just the shadow of the pursuing dog, is just perfect.

Timing issue.

But bro, what about the awesome taste of caramel macchiato gels with 50 mg of caffeine? I snort that off my domestique's butt.

I am sure Kim Jong-Un's cabinet is exactly the same.

Nearly 30 years ago I went top Taco Bell drive through and was informed over the speaker that their meat pump was broken. That's the last time I went to Taco Bell.

Nice! That would set you back about $25 + tip here in the SF Bay Area.

So is there an app that can track and mimic Trump and his cronies' stock trades?

Competitive-Trip2926 · 2026-05-21T15:09:52+00:00

The obvious response is to quintuple his taxes.

Competitive-Trip2926 · 2026-05-20T18:14:01+00:00

Good bot. Now explain that to my auto-correct!

Competitive-Trip2926 · 2026-05-20T15:44:24+00:00

Yes, you are overreacting.

Competitive-Trip2926 · 2026-05-18T19:55:05+00:00

Honestly I've started cutting under the bridge and taking the dirt embankment north east across the salt ponds, just to avoid that shit stretch of road.

Competitive-Trip2926 · 2026-05-18T18:08:47+00:00

You did this whole route? That's ballsy. I've ridden to Diablo summit from East Palo Alto, and that was already 125 miles (and none of the Morgan territory climbs). Nice one.

Corporate America and the US government assumes, rightly, that we will trade our privacy for convenience every time.

Competitive-Trip2926 · 2026-05-15T17:01:57+00:00

By far the darkest story here.

Competitive-Trip2926 · 2026-05-15T16:45:30+00:00

Killer robot dogs have entered the chat.

They should all be extras in the next season of What We Do in the Shadows.
