@futurebird Would taking the express force you to get off the train at a different stop that is further from you destination? If so, don't take the express. Otherwise, the express is probably better, and probably no more than about 4-5 minutes later at worst.

@futurebird I think this has been much researched, though proper experiment design and how it affects interpretation of results is still very much a live issue, in part because animal behavior scientists rarely get the funding they need, and must compromise experiment design with limited resources. But cats play close attention to the ear positions of other mammals. However, those positions have much more to do with emotional state than with direction of sounds being listened to.

@futurebird uh, yeah, a great design idea, but ...

@futurebird

is that Felis sockraptor or Felis laundryensis?

@futurebird why am I allowed to pick only one?

@futurebird reminds me of "turn the thermostat down at night" type advice. It makes sense if you assume everyone spends all night in a bed loaded up with wool blankets and other domestic creatures, but now all that has been replaced by much less insulating bedding and people who work late, do evening chores, etc, etc.

@futurebird @Bubotomy an item to consider: Due to the low latitude of the Sahara, prevailing winds blow across it from east to west. These winds regularly pick up dust and even sand, and transport it across the Atlantic, where it falls on the Carribean islands and northern S. America. I would think this regular removal of material would tend to reduce the depth of sand in the sahara.

@futurebird ah yes, Lance, Knight of the Strong Arm, who won time and time again ... assisted by performance-enhancing drugs, we now know ...

@futurebird to me, it's not ethical to use the LLM-detectors, for the same reasons it isn't ethical to use the LLMs to generate the fiction. Both uphold the same hideous power structure. But I have no idea whether the author did use an LLM, or what "ought" to happen to them, and I also don't know what people are likely to do.

@futurebird I know the popular LLM-detector and the LLMs are effectively created by entities of the same ilk, and yet, I don't know the answer to either question.

@futurebird @alexwild @MyrmecolNews I remain convinced the author of the mirror test for ants paper intended to be mockery of the whole concept of mirror test.

@futurebird I think your suggestion risks destroying the relationship.

@futurebird rob that hearth, Byeon!

@futurebird when the iceberg compiled the human, they turned off all the warnings and that's why the human is such trash ...

@futurebird welp. More than half the podcasters I listen to are saying it "bew cul"

which is french, approximately.

@Bfordham @futurebird a big business ant is probably a honeypot.

@futurebird but then I'd need to learn how to use a mirror. Never could get the hang of those dang things ...

@futurebird in every decent timeline, there was a great 1980s movie called _Cat Science_ , but in our timeline, the worst timeline ever, it was changed to _Weird Science_, and totally ruined.

@futurebird I have no idea who to follow for anything else finance-related.for anyhting crypto related, I follow

@futurebird imagine, all the delicious silkworms they could have raised with all those mullberry leaves. But nope, they chose ants.
