Re: Elon's Twitter
You can send a DM (direct message). However, some users limit who can send them a DM to only people they follow or don't allow them at all.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
Passover lasts for 8 days, so last year the Seder was on April 5, and Easter on April 9, the Sunday of the Passover week. AFAIK they only diverge during the Jewish leap years. Jewish calendar is lunar/solar while the Gregorian calendar is solar only. Unlike the Islamic calendar, which is lunar only,...

1. It probably wasn't. Note the dipping of bread, which is not eaten at Passover. However, most years Easter falls on a. Sunday during the Passover week. But, Easter always falls around the equinox, while Passover is always in the month of Nissan. This year is a leap year by Jewish calendar, meaning...

Re: Nature Pics
This hawk couldn't care less about the half-dozen hikers who stopped to look at it. My husband's jacket is in the shot as a reference for distance.
And here it is a bit closer.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
Reportedly, the first thing Dali's pilot did as soon as the power cut out on the ship the first time was to call the bridge on his cell and warn them that the ship may hit the bridge. It took 2 minutes to relay the order to shut down the traffic, and 90 seconds later the disaster occurred. Whatever ...

Re: World News Thread
Russia have captured a man they believe to be involved. He's from Tajikistan, but Russian media is variously blaming Ukraine and the United States. Julia Davis of The Daily Beast reports that she has seen video of Russian soldiers cutting off the man's ear and forcing him to eat it. The knife suppo...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
I'm using it on Android. Possibly it doesn't have an iOS version.
I've noticed lately that several interesting apps are only on Android. It's a reversal from the previous decade when developers focused on iOS first. Of course that works for me.

Re: War between Hamas and Israel
I have to question how dire the hunger situation in Gaza really is if Palenstinian activists are mocking the MREs that the United States has been airdropping. As was recently mentioned in another thread, MREs may not be the most palatable meals, but they are indeed what U.S. servicemembers survive ...

Re: World News Thread
I initially thought back to 1999, when Putin blew up Moscow apartment buildings and blamed Chechens to drum up support for the war in Chechnya. But times have changed, he doesn't care if the population supports his war. Currently, Russia blames Islamic militants from Ingushetia. Although Medvedev we...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
Just about the only puzzle game I play these days is nonograms on the Katana app. Most nonogram apps have a limited number of puzzles, but Katana allows users to upload content so it's pretty much limitless. And just as I was hitting the limit of my interest, I noticed it has an Adventurers Guild, w...

Re: Nature Pics
That's an amazing photo, narya! I only ever saw a fox once, when one crossed my trail. I did see one yesterday, at the San Francisco Zoo. It seems a new trend to showcase local animals and not just focus on the exotics. For example, here are two grizzlies lining up expectantly. A minute later, the k...

Re: AI! AI! A ChatGPT is come!
What Dave said. ChatGPT is a text generator. The text doesn't have to be correct. It should only be used if you already know the answer but don't want the bother of typing it. However. Both Microsoft and Google now have LLM built into their search engines, and that can get you much better results, b...

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
Meanwhile, Ukraine continues hitting Russian refineries. Ironically, they do it in large part because of the US stalling at providing aid. US weapons come with the stipulation that they can't be used on the territory of Russia itself, but there are no such restrictions on the Ukrainian drones. At ea...

Re: World News Thread
Meanwhile in Russia, a 3-day event is under way in which Russians, in a free and clear election, will elect Vladimir Putin for another 6-year term. Despite there being no serious opposition, Putin isn't taking any chances. In Kursk, there were reports that government-provided pens had vanishing ink,...
