@futurebird The information you'd probably want is the death rate from attended vs unattended pools, since attended pools are almost certainly the ones people learn to swim in.

@futurebird I uninstalled notepad because they put a Copiot button in it. I've never uninstalled notepad before. Ever.

@futurebird @davidho Per the article though, they were being wrapped in foil to prevent tracking and then shipped to China for resale.

@futurebird @davidho Although I know nothing about the actual stats, London is a low rise sprawl, so I'd expect the police to be spread more thinly on the street than in a moe buit up area.. Could be one factor.

@futurebird @davidho Fair. Our plods are mostly preoccupied arresting anyone wearing a keffiyeh at the moment ...

@futurebird @robotistry @epicdemiologist This particular guy looks unthreatening as well; no uncanny valley syndrome, and doesn't look like it's actually designed to be a weapons platform ( ala those dog things ).

@futurebird I flick carbonated drinks tins to stop them fizzing up before I open them, and similarly, it always works, despite claims it's superstition. I wonder if the world is actually glued together by these little acts of faith, and nothing really works ;)

@futurebird It's a lot of effort to go to to make something that'll just be demolished and returned to the original in a few years time, but I guess that's the genious of trumonomics.

@futurebird @quinn A pair of talking underpants could also catch on as an ironic metaphore.I mean, that's two verticals covered right?You could sell different voices for them as DLC.

@futurebird The conclusion I came to re art whether written / visual media etc. is that it is as the art establishment would say, art is self expression; It's a communication from the artist to the viewer, and while the superficial aesthetics of a generative piece may work for you, it can only ever be a homogenised echo of things others said - the comminication is non existent, and while it can be fun to look for faces in the clouds, it's important to remember that that's what you are doing.

@futurebird If they pay for referals, they might want a certain kind of person to actually click through - People paying attention may not fall for whatever scam they are running.

@futurebird A search for "titanium plates" does not in fact return what I was hoping for.

@futurebird I think the long delay between doing the work, which might be a big list of questions, and getting the answers in a classroom format doesn't help. Particularly if you are struggling, you're trying to do the work and freezing because of the inevitability of flaiure looming over you.In a software version, you could try things until you get it right in a tight feedback loop, which would also remove the negative interaction with a human thing.

@futurebird Yeah, the information on how to restore things in the past was pretty well hidden away, so once it went wonky I think a lot of people thought it was better to just cover it up.

@futurebird I cancelled prime on prime day. I like to imagine Jeff Bezos shouting at the sky that I "ruined his prime day!". ( One can dream. )

@futurebird @DaveMWilburn I'd suggest the normalization and acceptance of narcissistic behaviour because of the focus on success and self image that accompanies it.Don't challenge the boss if you want to get ahead. Abslutely the case in every work place I've seen. Right wing society is just another work place. Prejudice may come as a product, but I don't personally beleive it's the cause.
