I have been experimenting with bath bombs and other related products and have found a great product from Japan: Bub bath tablets

They are way cheaper than bombs and are just as fragrant. There is a variety pack that has sandalwood, lavender, ginger/bergamot, and eucalyptus tabs.

Am I a psychopath for preferring to use a pen, even if it means I have to cross things out every now and then?

That headline got me really excited before I realized they meant “in an app”.

In hopes that I can generate a sentence that no LLM has ever trained on before, "Extravagant paperclips contemplating stationary pomegranates spilling yellow sensibility."

If this was filmed in the late sixties using an older orthicon camera it might be an artifact of the way that the image is produced.

I'm just going from memory, but I believe the tubes used a brightness-amplifying screen kept charged with electrons that, when struck by light, would result in a brighter image that could be scanned by a beam. The downside of this technique is that a very bright area would suck up electrons from around it faster than they could recharge, resulting in a dark halo.

I think I remember some of the oldest classic Doctor Who episodes has this visual artifact, as well as some old Beatles TV recordings.
