In the last 4 hours, I've had tea in a lovely Japanese garden, narrowly escaped being hit by a bus, framed an art, visited 2 bookstores, been in a minor car crash, gotten excellent croissants, witnessed an 8 car armed police stand down, and bought a fancy heated toilet. San Francisco, ya'll.

All the major Aesir gods are disabled so one 100% can’t do Norse fantasy without it! (Odin missing an eye, Tyr a hand, Thor chronic pain from whetstone head injury, Loki maimed mouth, Heimdall prosthetic teeth, Hodr blind, Mimir is a severed head, etc.)

When asked, “What is artificial intelligence?” Ted Chiang replied, “A poor choice of words in 1954.” To this day I think that is the only good answer to that question that I have seen.

It's true. I grew up near there. I remember taking a tour of TMI to see it work when I was in elementary school and obsessed with turbines.
