I will happily eat the whole package in one sitting, making myself sick and full of regret. That's why I don't buy peeps. Peeps are regret.

This got me wondering if gallium has the same effect on "transparent aluminum" as it does regular aluminum?

I can't be the only one who feels like this is the absolute lowest priority of dumb shit to resist the regime over. It's just filler. Another thing he is doing to flood the zone. But one that really doesn't hurt anything. It's a distraction. Ignore it and focus on the actual damage he is doing.

Maybe. If you want to trade heartburn for intense diarrhea.

Some people are smarter than others. Some people are so smart that they struggle to be interested in school unless it's a challenge, and can simply skate by like your roommate.

I certainly can't say I am anywhere near that level, but I was smart enough to coast through a lot of subjects I was interested in without studying.

I also learned from a young age that I could pass a multiple choice test on a subject I knew nothing about just by intuition, looking for context clues, and guessing. Ask me to write an essay on an unfamiliar subject, and I was screwed, though.

They gotta focus on the "3d printed" part for those sweet sweet clicks.

I pay for YT premium and use unlock origin + privacy badger and don't see any ads on YT.

Yeah, I haven't heard of this game before now, and I regularly visit gaming websites. Sounds like poor marketing.

Back in the 80s my grandmother had a cat. Her neighbors at the time had some very feral and aggressive dogs in their back yard. One day her cat got out of the house, and those dogs escaped their fence and tore her cat to shreds.

The next day she mixed up some antifreeze meatballs and tossed them over the fence.

The neighbors never knew what killed their dogs.

Some people collect them. There are a lot of artisanal makers out there who sell really elaborate sculpted designs. I sell the silicone they are made out of, so many of my customers make them. One of those customers had a technical problem where their end users had issues with the silicone bonding to glass shelves in their display cabinet. So yeah, many people own more than 6 of them.

The big players will likely continue to develop this tech. "The Bubble" is more about the marketing and speculative investing in anything with "AI" tacked onto it. There's no reality where everything AI is being ham fisted into is going to be successful. There will be some winners, but there will be a lot of losers when the bubble bursts.

In the meantime, we have to put up with every company and product marketing that they now have "AI" in their product, whether it's actually useful or different from it was before.
