Oh... I was wondering why every single chat (including "Hello") was being flagged.

Seems I am barred from using Fable just for being a biologist :(

Holy shmoly... I'm a biologist who has used Thermo antibodies before, and this is seriously disappointing to see.

Just discovered the documentary, and it's such an interesting time capsule. That period simultaneously feels like yesterday, and a lifetime ago.

Exactly the same as my experience in the UK.

during GCSEs (nationally held exams at 16 for non uk people) i was sick in hospital for two weeks. when i came back i had to sit the missed exams in a special sitting.

exact same processes with external monitor etc. but with the backup exam papers that was different to the ones everyone else already did.

which is kind of in contrast to university (organised by the institution) where someone stole the exam paper for a difficult module in our final year. so they assigned one of the past year’s papers instead, as if everyone hadn’t memorised it already.

one of the benefits of scale with central organising bodies where you have to get things right (organising GCSEs nationally) is being forced to prepare for edge cases because they become a lot more common.

Ugh... that worked, but I gave up once I got to the home page.

To quote the late, great, Ray Arnold...

It can't be a good idea to condition yourself to be comfortable around an exposed wire that's near to a real power socket.

It's soldered to the rebar, which is grounded through the actual power cable

fair point. gotta trust that everything is properly hooked up and won't shift.

you'll only know when you find out the hard way

Reminding me that early Windows versions used to have this colour as the default desktop colour -- and I remember seeing similar tones on Mac and Unix desktops in the 90s.

That would require technical know-how.

It's much easier for clueless lawmakers to write "the computer check the age", and make it everyone else's problem.

"You care deeply—your ADHD brain just doesn't..."

Well shit, that solves everything! What a revelation -_-

Even the word "intentional" alone is an AI tell.

"Quietly" is another watermark word I've noticed lately (though not in TFA to be clear).
