I've stopped buying TVs. It's difficult to find a dumb one nowadays. I watch on my phone or my computer monitor.
We've passed this point years ago.
Brock Turner, rapist who got free due to "affluentenza" or whatever the fuck they called it.
The husband and wife duo who held assault rifles outside their home.
Kyle Rittenhouse
Fucking Donald Trump
I have news for you: The United States, with its trillions of dollars of economic power at its disposal, could vote for such a "feel good action" and then, on the other side of it, propose a UN resolution against North Korea for abusing it's citizens.
Food scarcity is not a production problem. It is a political one. We can, in fact, completely secure everyone a full belly but we don't because of $madeUpReason.
The US (and Israel) not backing the decision because it's a "free unicorn" is absolutely absurd.
Hell the US distributes food throughout the world in the most remote places. Of all the countries that could do this by themselves is the US.
As someone who has never seen the show, and someone who is too lazy to look it up...was the show real?
Like real real? Not "WWE WrestleMania" real?
I know that reality shows aren't fully real but they are real adjacent.
I've graduated from cast iron to ceramic coated cast iron.
All of the benefits of cast iron with the added appeal of never having to reseason it.
I'm an advocate for Firefox, but it is slowly, slowly entering enshittification.
The addition of AI, dark patterns to enable "sponsored bookmarks" upon reinstall, ads (albeit subtle) when using the address bar for search...
All of these can be disabled, some easily, some with feature flags.
Sure the enshittification isn't anywhere near the pace as Chrome but it's happening. And again, this is coming from a maybe 10 year financial donor to Mozilla.
Firefox is better than Chrome, no question but there is an opportunity for a new browser to challenge the field.
Women only count as people when ovulating or pregnant.
Otherwise they are cattle.
This isn't sarcasm. This is literally the line of thinking from Republicans
In the world of Site Reliability Engineering, it's better to fail than to be inconsistent.
So I suggest the opposite here. Start out by resolving the site 75% of the time. Then down to 20%, then 100%. Randomly make it not work with no predictably.
The great thing is if he uses his phone on a cellular network, he can't be sure whether it's because the site is working or because something hinky is going on in his network.
I don't think I explained it well.
I shop at 4, maybe 5, different grocery stores. Some products I have preferences whereas others I don't.
For example, say this is my grocery list for the week:
- grapes (never buy at Walmart)
- composition notebook
- ground turkey (only buy at Wegmans, unless there's a sale)
- oat milk
- chocolate chips
- eggs
I want an AI to scrape every grocery store's weekly ad or their website along with any coupons that are available, and determine the best price and, based on patterns of sales, what I should wait on and what time of day I should shop.
There was a Twitter post about great uses for AI but it's not being developed. The one I aligned with was scraping grocery store ads and creating a shopping list based on the best prices and personal preferences.
AI is solving problems for the business class. They are trying to stop paying people. AI has use cases to actually make our lives better but are antithetical to the capitalistic companies and would likely try to stop any AI use that undermines their bottom line.
This was one of my issues when I was a Christian. There is no external authority that the Bible was the inherent word of God and no way to ensure that the words within it were transcribed or even translated within the Authority of God.
There is a whole study of Bible hermeneutics that is about finding authority within the Bible.
You know how in the show Community Abed was always trying to meta the show? Imagine that, but really not funny and it's taken seriously.
