We have two distinct brain networks whose activity is mutually exclusive: the default mode network and the frontoparietal (AKA central executive or task positive) network. The DMN handles social interactions (among other things), while the FPN handles complex problem-solving—so if you’re engaged in what your brain thinks is a social interaction, it activates the DMN and deactivates the FPN.
It’s a good name for a baby born with horns protruding from its head.
I don’t know if it’s what you had in mind, but MediaWiki (the software WP runs on) has “interwiki” features that let MW instances easily reference each other’s articles; and other MW plugins (like Wikibase and Sematic MediaWiki) have features that let MW instances share their underlying data.
If you’re arguing for a particular public policy, then it’s not necessarily hypocritical (which isn’t to say it’s good).
If you’re arguing for social change based on personal behavior, then you should lead by example.
I don’t have a thermostat, but I have indoor and outdoor temp and humidity sensors, and a window position sensor. HA notifies me (via lighting color) if I should open the window because the outdoor conditions are better than indoors, or vice versa.

Ironically, the thing that most effectively poisons AI content is other AI content. (Basically, it amplifies the little idiosyncrasies that are indistinguishable from human content at low levels but become obvious when iterated.)
Just saw a YouTube documentary that reminded me of this comment—it describes how Galileo made his lenses by hand from window glass using an artillery ball as a grinder.
I’ve never heard of that being used to steal a password—for one thing, it wouldn’t reveal the order in which you pressed the keys, so it would still leave n! possibilities (24 possibilities for a 4-digit pin, or 40,320 for an 8-letter password). And in any case, if someone were to examine the keys afterward, it’s more likely they could see which keys you wiped if you just wiped the ones you used (and if you wiped all of them, it would make it easier to steal the password of the next user).
The bigger thing to worry about is a hidden camera recording your key presses—and to counter that, I position my fingers over all the keys I’ll use and then move all my fingers with each press, so it’s harder to see which key was actually pressed.
2 could match if the digit in question is missing dots within the visible columns, and 3 could match if the existing example is missing a leftmost column.
That’s a possibility.
My other argument, though, is that in 2026 February 28 is the end of a month, while March 28 is a random Saturday.
I’d say 3, except that the 3 on the line above has a flat bottom line.
If it’s also missing some dots from the middle, it could be part of the second and third columns of a 2.
There’s a crow I give peanuts to every morning on my way to work.
If you don’t have independent confirmation for the specific event, you could do a simple application of Bayes’ theorem.
If (say) FOX is reporting something and you’re not sure how much credence to give it, ask yourself:
A. How often does this sort of thing happen in general? (Check historical sources.)
B. How often does FOX claim this type of thing happens? (Check Google trends.)
C. How likely is FOX to report this if it actually happens? (If it fits their narrative, probably close to 1.)
Then you can estimate the likelihood of the report being true as AC/B.
You can make a rough magnifying lens by trial and error using glass and a hand grinder—not the same as prescription lenses, but for many it would be better than nothing.
Physics experiments.

Two likely possibilities:
Or perhaps they’ve learned the skill in such a way that the DMN can do it without the FPN—like if they treat it as a form of storytelling.
