They had better turn out in that electron than the US did in 2020, by 20%, and the Nazi party won a decisive victory. This meme doesn’t check out.

THANK YOU

I’m normally critical of Biden but this is one of the few times I’ll say it. Biden staying in the race is the best thing he can do.

It doesn’t matter when he drops out at this point, the time to do that was 8 months ago. If he drops out now and there’s an open convention, democrats lose in November. If he drops out after the convention, and the DNC chooses a different candidate to replace him, Democrats lose in November.

The last time anything similar happened, there were riots outside the DNC in Chicago and Hubert Humphrey safely handed the office to Richard Nixon.

Fun fact, Hilary Clinton attended the protests.

If it were actually AI I might have some faith.

This isn’t a neural net processor, not a learning computer. It’s a fucking mechanical Turk. A bad one.

What he’s talking about isn’t capable of deriving new ideas. It’s just going to spit out shit it’s seen already.

The library of Babel is just as likely to give us the answers he’s talking about. More likely maybe because it’s at least already written down.

Bacon and ice cream go great together and I refuse to pretend they don’t.

I still miss midnight snack ice cream. Potato chips covered in chocolate. Delicious

What happens at the Y stays at the Y

I love how this image is a pun

You mean every opinion I don’t like isn’t automatically a tankie Russian bot???

Closer to 10. Yes.

This is a pretty common thing in the American Midwest. You see it a lot around houses on the tops of hills, especially in new construction. It looks kinda silly for a few years but it’s the best you can do sometimes.

Pack it in guys this is the comment.

Hey now, the felons I work with are all cool dudes just trying to rebuild their lives.

The sons of car dealers are all working in the main office trying to fuck up our lives.

Your data isn’t yours to keep. It’s already gone, for sale to the highest bidder for pennies, several times a day.

But it IS yours to spoil. Become unhinged.

I want to see someone try.

Not because it’s practical, or because it makes sense. But because it sounds like it makes sense but I’m practice would be so impractical and hard that the solution would be absolutely hilarious.

You’re driving along the freeway at 70 miles an hour, and a jet powered super drone rockets along side the car carrying a 2000 pound brick of lithium and drops it on top of you like a fucking dump truck. The shock crushes the cheap Chinese car like a can of soda and the sudden change in weight sends the drone careening off in to the air at a reasonable percentage of mach 1. The last thing you see on this earth as your brain matter is squeezed out of your eye sockets like toothpaste is a wide eyed driver in the car next to you.

The resulting pile up kills 4 people immediately, and several more later as they get caught in an expanding wave of lithium battery fires that either burn them to death or suck all of the oxygen out of the air.

They may be preparing for a remodel, in which many of the shelves get torn out and replaced with new ones. They don’t want to shut down the store to do it and need a lot of storage space to hold shelving while they replace units one at a time over night. So already clearance stuff gets clearanced harder to get it out of the way.

This has been brought to you by your surly neighborhood shelving guy.

Is this maybe at a hobby lobby?

Cixin Liu imagines exactly that towards the end of the Three Body series. Among other things, which make the series worth absolutely slogging through at points.

Here’s a fun fact that I think of every time I read about light delay.

We assume the speed of light is the same in all directions but there’s no way to prove that it is.

It could be light speed is instantaneous in one direction, and half the speed we think it is in the reverse. Any test we could devise depends on information traveling in two directions, nullifying any discrepancies in light speed.

They are always with you

Always with you

They are always with you

I can hear them.

With you.

Can you hear them?

I can hear them

With you.

I can hear them calling. Crying. Screaming. Scratching. I hear their voices as a crescendo. I hear them faintly as a soft breeze. They are with me.

Can you hear me?

I’m learning about it as a result of this thread. I’m still on 10, but I know what to look for when I inevitably am forced to switch to 11.

A number of things I use still aren’t supported on Linux

I’m a machinist, I don’t get to choose my units. We use standard and try to avoid metric dimensioning like the plague. The difference between .005 inches and .005 millimeters is literally an order of magnitude.
