Best way to sandbox an AI is to put it on a Delta flight – it will have no chance of accessing the Internet!

More coffee equals good.
I’ve been on max. 2 cups of coffee per day for years, but now it seems I should drink more? More coffee = less body fat, less belly fat and more muscle, even at the same BMI. Also, for men total testosterone went up about 8 ng/dL per daily cup too.

Unused graphic found in the files of Mario Superstar Baseball, possibly used as a placeholder for the title screen. It features crude sketches of Mario and Luigi seemingly made in MS Paint and the text "ルイージの兄野球", which translates to "Luigi's Older Brother Baseball".

Turns out that despite a lot of 5k training in the night, I can pull out a quality 10K (35:14) when the time comes for it. 64 second improvement compared to the last 10K and tied my PR from April 2025. 2nd place overall in the race :D Could maybe get 35:00 in a future 10K.

I live next to Sandwich, and no one ever believes me there’s a village next door called Ham. The most stolen road sign in the UK

How cool is this (for a trainspotter like me!) .. an @IrishRail train turned into a New York train in Dundalk for the filming of the Disney movie Disenchanted

🌟 Get true reachability calculations with the Isochrones API. This API calculates the area you can reach from an origin point within a set amount of time — but unlike a radius, it accounts for actual road network travel times ➡️ goo.gle/3RnkOp2

TACTICAL BRILLIANCE from Tuchel Deliberately losing to the Argies just so we can absolutely destroy the French. Fair play

Funny thing about the whole red card hub bub is 99% of the world knows FIFA is corrupt — it might be the single thing people across the globe believe and tell you, regardless of if you ask — and then Trump blasts in, without any care, like the kool aid man, and does some small fry FIFA corruption, and everyone is like “Woah . The integrity of the game. It’s gone. It’s ruined forever”
