Don’t forget that starship launch last year. The dumbass blew up a rocket and launched giant chunks of concrete onto people’s property because he’s a impatient child.

Which is hilarious, as the eponymous Culture is the epitome of luxury gay space anarchism. Pan-sexual, non-monogamous space hippies that can (and do) change their biological sex just by thinking about it. People so past the idea of “gender” that they consider giving any serious weight to the concept barbaric.
I know it’s a rhetorical question: but is Elon stupid or something?
Modern bright lighting is great for daytime but one of the worst things we can do to ourselves in the evening or night. We absolutely did not evolve to be exposed to bright (particularly blue/white) light after the sun starts setting.
The best thing I did for my circadian rhythm was eliminate light in the bedroom and set up my lights to slowly shift to soft amber and dim in the evening. The trick is having it transition slowly so your eyes adjust and you don’t notice it.
One theory about how the whole Roswell UFO/aliens thing as government gaslighting.
This stuff happened during the height of the cold war when the Soviet Union was 100% looking for anything they could get on the USA’s secret programs. It’s easy to poison a source of actual intel if you send a few guys in suits and sunglasses to ask vague, leading questions to steer them towards “little green men.”
I just use my kindle as intended: using Calibre’s “email” button to load 100% legally obtained books via it’s _______@kindle.com address.
IDGAF. If they start yanking books off my device I’ll put it in airplane mode.
My car had USB for Android Auto and it barely provides enough enough power to maintain my phone’s charge while in use.
Thankfully wireless charging makes that an easy problem to bypass.
Do you really need fast charging in public outlets?
I always bring my own charger or power pack with me for security and speed, but “yes”.
If I’m using a public outlet my device is nearly dead and I probably only have limited time to hang out and charge it.
There are jobs where it’s not feasible or practical to pay an actual human to do.
Human translators exist and are far superior to machine translators. Do you hire one every time you need something translated in a casual setting, or do you use something Google translate? LLMs are the reason modern machine translation is is infinitely better than it was a few years ago.
One of the major problems with LLMs is it’s a “boom”. People are rightfully soured on them as a concept because jackasses trying to make money lie about their capabilities and utility – never mind the ethics of obtaining the datasets used to train them.
They’re absolutely limited, flawed, and there are better solutions for most problems … but beyond the bullshit LLMs are a useful tool for some problems and they’re not going away.
One: that comment you deleted where you put the dollar sign ($) in the wrong spot – nobody does that.
Two: your “American English” (while excellent) sounds … off, when read aloud.
Three: you can read the following Shibboleth aloud and you’ll have no idea what it means:
ooh day ooh yay eek spay ig pay at in lay?
Lol. Yeah, exclude
opposing opinionsobnoxious, idiotic noise, go live in your liberal echo chamber
FTFY
Also, why do you have such a hardon for Trump when you aren’t an American?
So it is a racial slur, thanks for the confirmation
Yes, the notoriously racially homogeneous nation of Russia. Clearly it’s a race thing, and not a nationality thing. And clearly they’re talking about the entire ethnic “russian” population – not the state itself and its leadership.
Introduce a character that’s a teacher so sick of cellphones in their class they bought a jammer off the internet. Make that character the serial killer’s first victim.
Because those are normal people. “Lifestyle” communities on the internet invariably devolve into groupthink cesspits of the most unhinged followers of that lifestyle.
Veganism is the worst. It’s like the terminally online crazies can telepathically detect anyone discussing veganism and descend en-mass.
How dare people cope with something horrible by making jokes. Everyone knows it’s impossible to make those jokes while simultaneously being horrified by and pushing back against the thing they’re joking about.
Step 1: Say “I have it for situations like this.”
Step 2: Adamantly refuse to let them use it. If it’s something that has to get done tell them to get the fuck out of the way and do it yourself.
They instance they’re on automatically censors certain words the admins consider slurs. “Bitch” is one of them.
… you might want to re-read my comment because I’m definitely not saying that. The idea of “Shooting to wound” with any live round is moronic. Even .22lr can easily kill or cripple someone regardless of the shooter’s intent.
I take issue with downplaying how powerful .223/5.56 is. Sure, there are absolutely more powerful rifle rounds. That being said, here’s a video of cheap surplus 5.56 FMJ punching through 1/4" steel plate at 200 yards.
You’re not wrong, but the idea that “plant based” is “safe” isn’t right either. Plants can create all kinds of horribly toxic, carcinogenic compounds – especially when burned or heated.
Wood smoke of all things is mildly carcinogenic and we cook our food with it.
