I was running in a collective run in my sleep, and got tired. Then I woke up and realized it was the tiredness from the run I had during the day.

Wow, tired during sleep?

@Cerberus Yes, it was an interesting dream.
I posted the map meme in this chat, and then went to sleep.
We ran with many people and talked as we ran.
After the run, I found a cute playing room with gaming consoles and stuff. I never knew it was near to my home. I chatted with the manager, who explained to me how one visual illusion worked in that room.

> A monoclonal antibody combination of casirivimab and imdevimab (REGEN-COV) significantly reduced the risk of COVID-19–related hospitalizations and death from any cause in the phase 3 portion of an adaptive trial of outpatients.
Casirivimab/imdevimab
Casirivimab/imdevimab, sold under the brand name REGEN-COV among others, is a medicine developed by the American biotechnology company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. It is an artificial "antibody cocktail" designed to produce resistance against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. It consists of two monoclonal antibodies, casirivimab (REGN10933) and imdevimab (REGN10987) that must be mixed together. The combination of two antibodies is intended to prevent mutational escape. It is also available as a co-formulated product.The combination was approved under the brand name...
Well, thank you very much. $2600 per dose.
Maybe at high outputs the price will decrease.

An anagram just occurred to me: Game of Thrones => Mega Nose-Froth
The hours and hours I spent reading those books, I wish I could get them back. And I am someone who reads a lot and doesn't normally mind that.
Nobody knows how to end a series anymore. It all comes to nothing in the end. And Martin apparently didn't even try. He let a bunch of TV hacks butcher it for him.

@CowperKettle It seems like someone should know this sort of thing, but I'm fairly certain there used to be all sorts of trams (street trains?) all over every city (Europe/US of a certain age). Old maps (1920s) of all sorts of cities have train lines down the middle of the streets. I think the trains were obsoleted out with too many cars.

@Robusto No, no, that is as good as a prohibition for me!
You also mentioned that the language was subliterary. Which is to be expected, when one sees cringe-worthy names like Westeros.

@CowperKettle I find that very very plausible. THere's lots of research in using the latest predictive modeling algorithms (Deep learning) on weather data.
@CowperKettle I find that very very unlikely.Headlines (and articles themselves) from MIT's Technology Review have been very guilty of hyping MIT related research well beyond truthfulness. As to the contents, I feel like it is too early to have good results with any AI, but especially so with DeepMind. I'll read the article in depth to see.
@Robusto That kinda makes me feel good about not even e=wasting my time thinking of avoiding GoT. It was just never under consideration.
Just like how if sports fell off the face of the earth, I wouldn't even notice. I wouldn't notice the lack of these buildings I've heard called 'stadia' or 'arenums' or whatever. I wouldn't notice the full 10 minutes (or 20 pages) of sports 'news' everyday. I wouldn't notice the missing sports trivia questions in pub trivia games... those questions are surely trivial, but at least knowledge trivia has -some- eventual expectation of use.
Just like how one doesn't waste time worrying that rats are not eating your food right in front of you. You just kind of expect rats to know their place.
Any slight towards rats is unintended. I just meant... I mean... not that rats might be a bad thing thing... I mean everyone's got a right...

From what I hear, those lines were often quite efficient, but cities chose to subsidise car traffic, 'the new age'.
At the cost of trams.
And sometimes trains, in some places.
But trains have remained one of the most important and ubiquitous modes of transportation in most places.
Note also that horse buses are very old.
Like stagecoaches.

@Mitch Same here. I just absolutely do not understand, in any way, why people are interested in reading about or watching sport. Only playing it can be fun; observing it is like watching highway traffic.
@MattE.Эллен I sympathise with him.

@Cerberus In a not too distant universe, I think it would have been on-target for me to have been a highway traffic observer. I do have momentary aspirations of being a traffic scientist. Very mathy, but also practical. unfortunately, like the weatherman, everybody would blame me
@Cerberus I think that rat is famous, not for well being a rat and doing rat things, but for openly and brazenly taking a whole slice without paying.
THAT HAS GOT TO STOP

is that a word?
obsoleted is probably a newish word. like 'impact' or ... shudder ... 'gifted'

@Mitch So you wouldn't find it boring to watch traffic go by for hours a day, every day?

@Cerberus oh. Maybe that's not such a great job then
How about automated counters?
But that would undermine the proletariat
We should throw our shoes into the traffic control machine

Oh wow. -That- reminds me of a time when I told the story of reminding myself of a tie when there was this Star Trek episode where there were two planets at war and...
Now I'm not sure which story to complete. I think if I complete the second story, that will also complete the first story, but at the expense of not being satisfied that the first story was really completed all on its own.
But if I complete the first story, then go on to complete the second story, it may seem like a lot of repetition to get really the essence of one story, just repeated.
But, on the other hand, the second story does have something substantively different from the first story, almost not even necessary to mention Star Trek at all.
It's kind of a dilemma
maybe more of. a quandary
Any way it would be a waste of everyone's time to have automated sports watchers, just like in that Star Trek episode where the two planets had computers simulate the war, but then both sides were contractually bound to have the casualties determined by the simulation to be done for real, with random members of the population forced to be executred (by sufficiently innocuous scifi means) as the casualties of war.
That episode really should have been called 'Casualties of War'
Nope, can't find it in chat search.
A Taste of Armageddon
"A Taste of Armageddon" is the twenty-third episode of the first season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. Written by Robert Hamner and Gene L. Coon and directed by Joseph Pevney, it was first broadcast on February 23, 1967. In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise visits a planet engaged in a completely computer-simulated war with a neighboring planet but the casualties, including the Enterprise's crew, are supposed to be real. == Plot == The USS Enterprise travels to Eminiar VII in NGC 321, bringing Ambassador Robert Fox to establish diplomatic relations.
