@tomcapuder I'll bite. ☺️ Is faith prerequisite of wisdom? Is wisdom prerequisite of intelligence?

@futurebird I have a few books about English language oddities that are pretty dear. They're funny. Bet this would sell pretty well even to folks without much knowledge in the biology field. I know I'd buy it. (hint)

@futurebirdPompeii... 🤣Yah, we have a bad fire ant problem here. I don't have much sympathy for them. I remember you mentioning casting nests some time ago. It is a little sad. But, again... THat can't be the deepest they go. Is that what you meant by plaster? @nancylwayne

@futurebird I knew some of that, but not the loose soil bit or that they really were that shallow. Thanks! Shallow and lazy. LOL This explains why they just love my raised garden beds. @nancylwayne

@futurebird I read they don't meow at each other, either. The argument was it's something they've trained _us_ with.When Ramses starts hollering in the other room it's usually because she's playing with Manfred Manatee (stuffed animal).

@futurebird Something about the composition of her face gives this ethereal lewk to all of Pica's looks. She's got an old, patient soul. 🥰

You people look mighty stupid applauding that man for saving his own son from club fed when he and his party has sold every single one of the rest of us down the river. My god.#USPolitics #Biden

@futurebird @argv_minus_one It's not something I spend a lot of time looking at, but I can't think of a single place that's not found a decent return on their congestion pricing schemes. Everyone raises hell at first, then they realize it's working and everyone forgets about it and moves on to complaining about something else.

@futurebird I'm going to have to have a discussion with one of my instructors who asks us to use an AI tool to improve our writing in a Professional Writing class. I'm not at all comfortable feeding my work to the beast. I think there needs to be a clear opt-out policy. Aside: I know it all eventually ends up there anyway, but I'm able to maintain a 'moral firewall' if I'm not the one putting my work in it's maw.

@futurebird It's an online course... maybe I'll post on the Canvas discussion board. hmmmEven though I lean towards "it's bad," simply because we're seeing so much harmful use of it, I agree It needs to be a discussion. One of the ways I've used Copilot+ in research is outlining and summarizing sources that I'm working with. I will agonize over an outline, so it saves a ton of time. The mistakes are funny frequently enough that I don't mind them.

@futurebird Do you really want the responsibility of saving this person from their own ignorance?

@futurebird I've asked my boyfriend, but he doesn't wake up for a little while. I can't remember what he uses for hosting and all that, and I don't remember any jokes about us selling our souls or ritual sacrifice. Let me get back to you.
