God damn US Government, you now have the same credibility as those Nigerian princes sending emails to me.

This take - well it suddenly explains A LOT.

Maybe Tim Sweeney has been replaced by AI

That word has officially lost all meaning. To the AIPAC, that sweet old lady driving the speed limit? She’s an antisemite. Were they served a bagel that was slightly oval? The waiter is antisemitic. That bagel? You guessed it - an antisemite too.

Something’s missing. Setting aside the 1 person who was violent. A jury of their peers convicted of others for what amounts to minor vandalism, and the sentence was decades in prison? Has the system completely failed citizens standing up for what’s right?

This explains why my wife-to-be showed any interest at all in me at first.

Not a fan of bench seats, but I can’t argue here - this is pretty solid logic. And a solid bassline in that Cake song about them too.

This is a fundamental law of nature I believe.

From the article: " it turns out that ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It’s a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities"

Neat! An animal picture from Santa Cruz that isn’t a butterfly, giant slug, or… You know… vampires.

And my mechanic is less pushy than any dentist I’ve ever visited. They always seem to pull up some image and point to it and say see that out of focus area? Your particular insurance covers that, so your teeth will fall out next week if we don’t address it right now, and youll never get laid again, you’ll fail out of school and get fired from your job and be homeless. Oh - wait. You’re insurance doesn’t cover that? Then they wipe the grease stain from the screen and say you’ll be just fine.

It was those witches again. They cursed the national Mall to remain green until the unredacted Epstein files are released and the child rapists finally face justice.

I never knew they used municipal water in the past, I always thought it was always the Victorian style of tapping natural sources.

These are the words of a very weak and desperate man. Can you imagine Theodore Roosevelt ever saying something as humiliating as that?

Didn’t trump make himself the director of the Kennedy center board (by some strange magic that makes no sense to me). So I assume he’s directing the lawyers and not scheduling any shows that might bring attention to the fact that his name was removed and the usual K-Center artists still refuse to perform there because of him? If he can’t have his way is he ruining it for everyone? Maybe I’m wrong on a couple of points there.

IIRC it pulls from natural surface waters and may even be a flow through design. It’s not a closed system like a pool. So it will always be getting water from the Potomac or other local sources which are already heavily polluted, and algae and algae like life such as dinoflagellates will instantly bloom with very minor pollution, especially when competing biofilms on the bottom and sides were just removed. Also, I know marine algae is notoriously difficult to filter out by mechanical means, so I assume similar for aquatic. I think that unless it get turned into a closed loop chlorinated swimming pool, the “best” it will ever be is a natural looking reflecting pond for the ducks and geese - and I’m okay with that, I’ll bet the ducks and geese prefer it too.

Hypothetically, how much does AI cost per equivalent work by human? Lots of ways to calculate it I suppose if you include capital expenditures and bribing local officials and paying billionaires to market it.

Thank you for putting in the work. If your ever in my area I’ll buy you a coffee

I’ve been struggling with this shift too. Tech used to game changing ideas for people, now it’s sole purpose is a vehicle for corporate profits. Tech used to be an exciting Wild West of crazy new ideas and new ways to be creative or play or communicate and share with friends or do less work. Now consumer focused tech is just minor evolutions of current tech launched with billion dollar marketing campaigns, corporate traps to lock you into app addictions or various subscriptions to see stock price increase 0.1%. And I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Whoa! They look like a very long line of obviously bad decisions. Unwearable. Not even ironically ugly. Like a CEO designed it himself surrounded by a vacuum of yes men.
