I tried a Beggin’ Strip. Pretty sure dogs do, in fact, know it’s not bacon. Could pass as gas station beef jerky, tho

The Matrix 2.5: Regurgitations. Agent Smith clones break into a genetics laboratory and create hilarious variations of themselves, including Bat Smith, Brainy Smith, Spider Smith, Brawny Smith, and a pointlessly man-crazed lady Smith named Smithette.

Can’t say more without revealing where I work, but this week I read about a jaw-dropping bit of experimentation — by an undergrad! — which may allow us soon to visualize what exactly is happening with quantum wave-particle duality. Like in an intuitive, “oh that’s what that means” kind of way, not a “don’t try to understand it, just do the math” kind of way. Very exciting for pop science nerds like yours truly.

Oh for crying out loud, I canʼt make pots of coffee fast enough for you people. And by “you people” I mean me

The intro video for the new all-electric Boston Dynamics Atlas uses the language of horror movies, particularly movies featuring a robot or doll, in the way the bot is shown unnaturally rising off the floor and rotating its body parts 365° to face the viewer.

Is BD rubbing it in our faces that they are building robots for the defense and police industries that will become instruments of terror?

Or are they oblivious to the connotations and just thought it looked cool?

Somebody ought to do a shot-by-shot remake of Point Break, but with Johnny Utah changed to a woman, just in case anyone is still denying the original is a gay romance.

You can gender-swap Tyler (lol) if you want, too. Then as now, doesnʼt really matter one way or the other.

Noob question here, but does anyone know if the wire coils used in dynamos, electromagnets, and motors have to be made of copper? Would another conductive metal, like aluminum, work? (Not as well, I assume, which is why copper is used. But would they work at all?)

My Dog: IT IS A POOP.

Me: Yep.

Dog: 💩 💩 💩 🎉 🎆 💃 🕺

Me: We see like ten of them every time we go walking. People in this neighborhood are terrible about cleaning up after their dogs.

Dog: POOOOOP

Me: Yeah.

Dog: … Can I eat it?

I might have to stop shopping at Target. If you go in there the day after a holiday, the holiday candy is gone. Not 70% off. Not 50% off. Gone. This is a violation of the social contract.

You donʼt have to go see that movie or watch that tv show or read that book that “everyoneʼs talking about.” Not everyoneʼs talking about it if youʼre not. Talk about your thing.

A few times a day a sound like the rattling of industrial machinery rings out in my neighborhood.

Itʼs just our local woodpecker, trying to drill into one of the metal chimney pipes again.

Iʼd feel sorry for the poor thing, but it never seems to get any wiser.

I think I may try being ignorant for a while. I hear it is bliss, and there are demonstrably zero negative consequences for it.

But seriously, the places I have always gotten my information have all gone to shit, so until I come up with better sources it might be better to tune it all out rather than let it make me stupider.

I donʼt understand why people have to take a presidential election and inject a bunch of politics into it. Iʼm just here for the rallies and the truck decals, man.
