Drain the fucking thing and fix it.

I got the ps4 version when it came out. It was unplayable garbage, but eventually I got a ps5 and they offered a free upgrade to that version.

People who do this at the airport gate drive me especially crazy. Like at the entrance to the queue they'll bunch up when they are in boarding group 100.

I visited Dublin this year. Great city, great people. I never felt like I was in danger.

That's sad. Doctors prescribing dewormer for cancer should lose their license to practice medicine.

I've always wondered in those gray, dystopian movies with smog filled skies, smoke stacks, military forces, and people behind fences: how could they let it get that far?

I never even considered how quickly it could happen.

Correct. This is for the motion in the ocean.

It'll be interesting to see who emerges as prior J6 defendants, proud boys, or other degenerates.

How much did they take in? Mega churches convince people to tithe large percentages of their income.

Joel Osteen encourages tithing 10% of income, framing it as a way to trigger divine blessings, favor, and prosperity for the giver and future generations.

His church alone takes in tens of millions in annual revenue and only donates about 1%

I still think it would have been a better ending if the white walkers killed everyone and took over. Just stepping over bodies of favorite characters as they get seated on the iron throne.

Like the red wedding or the end of season 1..

I'd tell you a udp joke but you might not get it.

It almost seems like they want to make home computing unaffordable, so you have to rent PC time from a cloud provider. This way they nickel and dime you, and use your data to train their LLMs.

Micron and nvidia get their cut by being able to set whatever prices they can imagine.

Exposing ice agents to more Americans seems like a great opportunity to make them even more hated. Good luck with that.

It feels like relying on GPS while driving around. If you know the roads well and just want some help with live traffic or somewhere you haven't been before, it's a decent tool.

If you rely on it because you don't want to think and just want to press the easy button, you're going to have a bad time sooner or later.

Back to software, I think there are a lot of people introducing concepts they don't understand or can't maintain (either from poor quality slop or it is just too advanced for their current level of understanding). You can do a few turns like this, until you're stuck burning tokens in a loop without moving forward in a meaningful way.

I try to avoid taking the easy route myself unless I've burnt too much time stuck on some small detail. Ultimately I feel it is super important to understand what you are delivering. Whether it is writing it yourself, copying a stack overflow post, or using an LLM. Once you commit and push to prod you've got to deal with that crap.

I enjoy having cameras on my house to see what's going on in the neighborhood. It has come in handy at least once when my neighbor's truck was stolen in broad daylight.

They are ring cameras because two were installed already when I moved in. What should I switch to? I just really want motion alerts and proof when something bad happens.

Some sign up for tuition, some have nowhere to go because there is no safety net or better options. Some people just succumb to propaganda or have a family history. Many enlisted before his second term.

I dunno, I'm super against any war, but you can't assume they are all blood thirsty mercenaries. People have complicated situations, and even through I knew Trump round 2 would be corrupt, I did underestimate how maliciously terrible he could be.

They should be fed. They should be home. Politicians are to blame. One in particular, but there is plenty to go around.

Chris Cornell hit hard especially when you go back and listen to his lyrics.

He'll probably get the DOJ to investigate her while he's at it.

It masks all the sadness in my heart, lol.

I recently called a contractor to do some work on my house. The first call to them was fielded by an ai assistant who couldn't answer the questions I had about if they even did jobs like the one I had.

After a few rounds I gave up and ended the call. Then I get a text shortly after from their system trying to reengage me.

I ignored that too, as they were starting to piss me off.

Then, about ten minutes later I get a voice call from them, and it is a human! Yay! I ask her my question and quickly find out she is in a call center and also can't tell me if they even work on jobs like the one I have.

This was my first and last experience with that company.

I see that as the way most companies will go. Poorly slapped together ai experiences, a workforce that is an army of contractors, and no one to help at the end of the day with anything mildly outside the box. This will be normalized, companies will spend less on people and get worse results.
