Great criteria. Another “straight to the ER” one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it’s easy to assume it’s fine, but it’s not.

Plastics industry: “See?! We told you plastic decomposes and doesn’t just stay in landfills forever. Happy now?”
The official trying to tear off her number isn’t a runner; he’s the guy in black shoes with his head barely poking above her right shoulder. The runner to her right in the photo looks like he’s pushing her, but he’s pushing the official.
404 Media is doing excellent work; if you like this kind of thing you might want to sign up for their newsletter.
I thought it meant that all the icons/interfaces for AI seem to have a graphical gradient between colors, usually cool colors like blue/purple/pink. (Like the face in the meme)
I recall they lowered guys out of a helicopter on ropes one year, too. It was hilarious to walk around the floor at E3 and see CoD or whatever guys in their fakey-looking booth bro costumes pass real army guys wearing real uniforms passing out enlistment info and ads for America’s Army. Why pay booth bros when you can just assign some soldiers you’re already paying?
It’s a Schacht Flatiron; Schacht is, I believe, the largest American spinning wheel manufacturer. https://schachtspindle.com/products/flatiron-spinning-wheel?variant=45418176250151 I really like it. My first wheel was a Majacraft Pioneer (NZ made).
I got 2 bags of sparkly, brightly-colored art batts (wool, silk, and angelina) at a fiber festival at the beginning of June, and I just finished spinning all of them today (it doesn’t take months to do, but I cut my finger in mid-June and had to take a break from fiber arts for a while). Now the singles need to rest, then I can ply them, then they’ll be yarn! And then I can knit something very happy with them and maybe have it done in time for winter.
Same!
Deleted scenes from Eye of Argon?
Most of the time we don’t look at details because we don’t have to. We see a picture and get the jist, and AI is great at simulating the jist. I’ve started looking for details in anything that looks fishy but it’s not a natural behavior.
Neal Stephenson wrote a great novel about this. Check out Termination Shock.
I believe they do this the same way they do traffic jams, by seeing how many android phones are at the location vs. average.
There’s a great YA book about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Reversed_Himself?wprov=sfla1
From the video it looks like the plastic rings are casings and the wheels are inside them, and the wheels poke out at the bottom. Seems dumb to me.
You can kind of see it here but it looks like they’re intentionally hiding a good view of it with angles/lighting:
There were some good tips in this podcast episode: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/28/1190725808/tackle-your-medical-debt-with-life-kit
My company built a big lab with expensive equipment and then laid off the person who was an expert in using all of it.
And Onion articles, and other satire.
Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren’t sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like “ER now!” (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it’s never happened again, but it’s definitely stayed with me.)
