I had emails from CVS (American pharmacy store) about vaccination records recently and noticed this
Administration date 2024-10-25
First time I’ve seen dates used like that in a public-facing context. The birth dates were in that form, too.
The US uses metric measures in many places, too. Usually medical, but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml.

No it’s not. It’s more of a spongy consistency compared to a the dry, breadiness of an English muffin.
My pixel 7 has adaptive charging. If there’s an alarm set and I charge it at night, it paces the charging to be full near the time I’m getting up.
So it’s doing what it can to preserve battery health.
Alternate option, set up a premium number and profit!
If you’re visiting from another country, try giving them a number from there (real or fake). What are the odds that their system can cope with international codes?

A few days ago I almost tried to pause my ebook reader before putting it down.

Someone once told me “meat is murder, but fish is justifiable homicide”. I hope that helps.

Chicks, not checks, btw.
It seemed that way, it asked me to scan a QR code on my phone to link it, which didn’t happen before.
Or maybe the option to use my phone was some older auth method, where I’d use the fingerprint reader on the phone to confirm a login on the laptop. I thought that was a passkey, but that doesn’t fit with what I’m reading about what it does now.
The Register is deliberately tabloid-like in style (right up to the “red top” site banner), but is good quality (at least when I read it).
They won’t write an article about science without using the word “boffins” either. It’s just their thing.
I think that passkeys are simple, but no-one explains what they do and don’t do in specific terms.
Someone compared it to generating private/public key pairs on each device you set up, which helps me a bit, but I recently set up a passkey on a new laptop when offered and it seemed to replace the option to use my phone as a passkey for the same site (which had worked), and was asking me to scan a QR code with my phone to set it up again.
So I don’t know what went on behind the scenes there at all.
Back at school in the UK, in the 70s, I read a book about traditions from around the world. It included a description of trick-or-treating as part of the “what people do in other countries” theme. We would put candles in turnips in that era.
In the 90s I had some kids at the door in costume but who got confused and said “penny for the guy”. Or maybe it was the other way around (they had a guy but said trick or treat).
That’s that song about the “Space Monkey Mafia” isn’t it.
NASA’s biggest cover-up.
But in the US it’s a major event that’s ALL of October now. It’s a whole other level. Walk into CVS or Walgreens (equivalent of Boots) and there’s a wall of Halloween merch right inside the entrance.
Or maybe the UK is the same now? After all, it has Black Friday sales.
What is the motive behind this push to ram AI down out throats?
They already have all my emails, photographs. location and browsing data.
What do they gain from providing unreliable information at many times the power use? Or having me ask “write a sincere-sounding thank-you email”.
I feel like I’m missing some big revelation that will make it make sense.
Okay, maybe that was a typo, but I’ve read cooking instructions based on a “cup” of chicken strips.
