Full context to that panel:

It's even better in it full context

First panel of that comic here

I wonder if you've really never seen this panel in its original context, or if you're just a troll. My money is on the latter.

A thought for why it may have been easier for you to regularly use your paper journal while not maintaining the digital journal: it may be a matter of visual cuing.

With the paper journal it sits somewhere that you'll see it regularly, probably along your route to bed. Seeing the journal may have been your mental cue to write in it, as opposed to simple routine or habit. You don't get the same kind of cue from a digital journal because even a set reminder is no different from the bevy of notifications your phone gives you throughout the day.

Something that could help you keep up with your digital journal is to start keeping a physical journal in the same place you kept your old one. Maybe put an NFC tag in it that just launches your digital journal when scanned/tapped. Then you'll still have that visual cue and habit reaction force to keep you journaling.

This is the story I came to this thread for. Amazing! Thanks for posting!

A thought: any ai-image detector is a defacto trainer for ai-image generators. It necessarily becomes a kind of arms race in the same way that spam generators test their payloads against spam filters.

I see a lot of concern in this thread that future TVs would just peer-to-peer or cellular connect to do their dastardly functions. Wouldn't this be preventable by putting a fine wire mesh around the box on the rear of the panel? Sure, the signal could still go out through the panel, but that's bound to incur a lot of interference from the panel itself, right?

That looks like it might be a baby stinkpot (S. Odoratus)! They're a kind of mud turtle, so marshes are their happy place.
Baby snappers have long tails, but it could also be one of those that lost its tail.

Funny enough, my boss has a PhD in Evolutionary Biology. She never tells people because they start referring to her as Doctor, and she hates that. I don't think I've actually ever heard her bring it up on her own.

And that can't be good for the oven.

Thank you for reposting it! I've been looking for resources like these.

This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn't need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!

When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the "triple alpha process"; which results in Carbon! From there it's pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!

So you see, the Sun doesn't need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!

You guys are doing a great job, and we all appreciate the hard work you put into this!

The picture for this article is vicious mockery of Christians everywhere!

How was anyone supposed to know that Christians secretly adopted long tables as a holy symbol and that gathering behind them is now a sin?

Can he replace the Fed chair arbitrarily though?

Biden doesn't control the fed. It's an independent entity.

This is something I'm currently struggling with. I rent a house and the roof is leaking in two different rooms. Problem is that last time I had the landlord do any repairs he increased my rent by $300 a month. I know that having a leaky roof is damaging his property, but it's only a minor inconvenience for me at the moment.

I'm not about to spend an extra $6,000+ a year just to preserve his property when I can keep it from bothering me with a tack, some string, and a pitcher for the water to go into.
