<p>If this holds up I might be halfway to a Law degree without knowing because I’ve studied a fair amount of programming, both textbooks and case law :–)</p>

<p>Considering this man was supposedly found in a fishing net in the water behind a fishing vessel he looks surprisingly healthy to me:</p>

<p><img src="https://i.snap.as/5iHuwjQ.png" alt="&#34;Man found stuck in a net behind a fishing vessel&#34;"/>

Also a number of news articles in Polish that I forgot to screenshot, and what seems to me like either Italian (maybe it got it confused with my last name :-P) and Portugese (no idea why <em>that</em> would be relevant):</p>

<p>Hope you guys have a nice day at work and don&#39;t mess up a big ai and/or machine learning project.</p>
