What the fuck? Let's take mental health advice from an economist.

Article text: Americans routinely say they relish the ability to work from home or remotely rather than commute to an office. Yet new research suggests that untethering yourself can come at a cost.
New research from Federal Reserve Bank of New York economist Natalia Emanuel published in Science found that remote work, while often boosting productivity, also often leaves employees feeling socially isolated and leads to mental health issues.

Duck Duck Go was mildly better:

"Strawberry" contains two letters "d"? None - there are O letters "d" in the word "strawberry."

Ryan@darthbender· May 25

So I thought I would try it:

Google AI telling me that there are 3 'd's in "strawberry. It then corrects itself to say there is only 1 'd' in "strawberry"

Citation fucking needed

Governor Spencer Cox statement on data center water usage:
"That's where the biggest cutbacks will always be, always have been. I get pretty fired up about that one because it's a lie and it's wrong and anybody who says that either doesn't know what they're talking about or do know what they're talking about and they're intentionally trying to lie about it," he replied. "As far as the data center? Again, this data center is going to use less water than its original use.
So this data center is going to return water to the lake. Again, there are issues that people should be concerned about, for sure. Water is not one of them in that particular case."

From a reddit thread about someone finding a kitten in their walls:

Comic panels:
First section with four panels titled "ADOPTING A DOG":
Show small human going to pet store and picking out a dog.
Second section with two panels titled "ADOPTING A CAT":
Shows small human sitting in bed reading while a cat falls through the ceiling.

Of all the photos I've taken I'm most proud of this one. Eagle Nebula, June 23, 2017 And it was an accident, I was testing the guiding and tracking on my telescope and pointed it at this and was shocked when it turned out so well.
