Great advice.

I would also add, it’s not necessary to go in to those tasks planning to complete the entire thing. If the prospect of doing all of washing, drying, folding, and putting away the laundry sounds exhausting or intimidating or otherwise executive-dysfunction-inducing, that’s fine. Start by just starting; putting some laundry in the washing machine can be a satisfying task all on its own. And maybe by the time it’s done, starting step two of the process won’t seem so daunting.

Sometimes, if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly.

I think this article does a good job of exploring and explaining how LLM attempts at text summarization could be more accurately described as “text shortening”; a subtle but critical distinction.

It routinely baffles me when folks think that copy-pasting crap into and out of a chatbot somehow contributes to a conversation. It’s like half a step up from telling everyone about the dreams you had last night

Canada Dry makes a damn good zero-sugar ginger ale

I rewatched that episode just this evening, and completely agree; fantastic scene. Dukat is a delightful villain throughout the series, but this is one of his pinnacles of bastardy.

Imaginary Kira supporting his twisted logic was a nice touch, too; “Being reasonable only made us bolder”

I think you mean the embryo; it takes some time after being laid for the zygote inside the egg to develop to the point it could be considered a fetus.

According to The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:

A total of 4,714 people died in large truck crashes in 2021, a 17 percent increase compared with 2020. Sixteen percent of these deaths were truck occupants, 68 percent were occupants of cars and other passenger vehicles, and 15 percent were pedestrians, bicyclists or motorcyclists.

That seems extremely unlikely to me.
