I first heard a version of limerick about 30 years ago, immediately committed it to memory and it has been my favourite ever since. My favourite ever joke is:
Woman walks into a bar, asks the barman for a Double Entendre, so he gives her one.
Infer what you might about my humour.
Incidentally I once had to explain that joke to a very unimaginative elderly woman and the room slowly went quiet to listen as I struggled and it has entered family folklore 😄
After breaking the Blackwidow Wolverine V3 Pro controller somehow, replaced it with a much less expensive GameSir G7 Pro Tri-Mode. Comes with a charging station, USB-C cable, and a 2.4GHz wireless dongle while also supporting Bluetooth. Initial thoughts is that it's a pretty solid controller and should be easy enough to clean. The D-Pad has all of the clickiness, but works well enough. I'll put it through its paces later on today with some FF16.
The fellow sat down at a bar, ordered a drink and asked the bartender if he

the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. And for your information, I used to play

Background: I had a flat but the mechanic couldn’t find a leak; to be safe, I had him put in a new one to be on the safe side. But it left me wondering whether there might have been micro-tears or something to explain it.
It exploded at about 0.5 bar and I wonder whether that’s normal or could be an indication for issues.

Things that ended up not being fixed in the final release of #macOS 27 Golden Gate:

If "Don't post on X" is too high of a bar for some people, I do worry what it says about their commitment to not doing a bunch of much much worse things when that time comes.
It's not even about X in and of itself, it's about how it's the *lowest* possible effort thing you could do: Not going to a website.
If that feels like a high bar... I mean, I just want you to know, in case you haven't read a history book lately, the bar to what you'll need …

Emergent gravitational action from non-local $T\bar T$-like deformations
Yun-Ze Li, Bo-Rui Li, Yu-Xiao Liu, Song He
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.05913 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.05913 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.05913
arXiv:2608.05913v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the gravitational effective action induced, at first order in the deformation parameter, by non-local $T\bar T$-like deformations of quantum field theories. Using a heat-kernel formulation, we extract the local geometric terms generated by stress-tensor two-point functions, and apply the construction to free fermions, massive Maxwell theory, and second-order Yang-Mills theory. While the resulting coefficients are generally model dependent, conformal field theories contain a universal sector fixed by the central charge $C_T$. After regularization and renormalization, this sector yields finite, scheme-independent contributions organized into a finite set of curvature invariants. We further analyze trace-trace deformations, for which the relevant contact terms are determined by the Weyl anomaly, and derive the corresponding finite gravitational action for a general class of minimal non-local kernels. These results provide a quantum effective-action realization of induced gravity in which universal conformal data determine calculable contributions to the emergent geometric response.
