I find dating is costing me way less now than in the past…

@AdagioM Having jammed with a number of excellent bluegrass players in campgrounds after festivals, I’ve learned that most everyone plays using G chording and moves the capo up and down. G is described as “God’s own key” and He doesn’t mind if you move it around.

Idyllic, thank you. Been dragging the trailer all over Ohio, seeking out all of the weird and wonderful roadside attractions tucked in amongst the corn. Last weekend was Ohio caverns - the largest in Ohio. Stunning! [image: IMG-0971.jpg] Also prowled a couple of antique malls and visited the highest point in Ohio! [image: IMG-6418.jpg] Right now I’m sitting on the shore of a nice lake in North Lawrence, admiring the view and looking up the birds I see.

Thank you @axtremus !

Hungary to shut sole nuclear plant for first time on Sunday Record-low water levels on the Danube forced the Paks plant offline, leaving Hungary facing a potential power crunch. In neighboring Serbia, energy production at two hydroelectric plants has also been reduced. It measured the Danube's water level in Budapest at 23 centimeters (9 inches) on Wednesday morning, well below the previous record low of 33 centimeters (13 inches) set in 2018. https://www.dw.com/en/hungary-to-shut-sole-nuclear-plant-for-first-time-on-sunday/a-78205668

@jon-nyc He really does look like the same Churchill we recognize from his adult photos. Sans the cigar and brandy, of course.

I love cream in my coffee so it looks like 5/6. Toast 4, buttered to the edges please. Steak also about 4 (at least cooked) I'm attempting to substitute fish for meat as much as possible.

So confident, so brave!

Nobody here but us egos.

This is quite exciting. An internal version of Astra, OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science. https://x.com/polynoamial/status/2083467194663571701?s=46

A friend married a guy whose middle name was Pucci. He was called Pussy.

Surprised. Black voters are among the most homophobic.
