and Senators

bold of you to assume that anyone outside of the Epstine class is holding enough cash for that to matter

This is The Way.

a blue flash, a pop, a wisp of smoke, and then your computer never turns on again

“It was Biden that shit in my pants!”

The text doesn’t matter if its not enforced, so no, not at the moment. Changing the text won’t help though if the people we elect to enforce the rules continue to do crime instead.

“fishy” = bacterial vaginosis

The common scent element in healthy cis women is “tangy”.

Estrogen causes the vaginal walls to secrete glycogen, which gets eaten by lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid.

Lack of tanginess can be caused by low estrogen levels. It tells us about your current endocrine ecology, not your gender identity.

I wouldn’t count on it anytime soon. The data center build out is a years long process, and even after they get built, their owners will want to use the initially installed hardware for as long as possible before upgrading.

Expect demand for new RAM to remain higher than it was before the AI datacenter build out began. Maybe not as high as it is right now, but some degree of increased demand will be permanent due to the increased count of datacenters that will eventually want to replace their obsolete, worn out hardware.

There might eventually be a larger supply of used RAM on the market, but a lot of it might not be compatible with mid-shelf consumer grade motherboards.

If someone starts licking my feet, I don’t think its my blood that’s about to get drained, lol.

re-mixed by The Internet:

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

For years our town’s been terrorized
By the beast who takes disguise
In the shell that calls itself Jolene

Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath
Eyes closed against the threat of death
That lies behind the teeth of that Jolene

The closer that you get to her
The more those edges seem to blur
To something that cannot be called Jolene

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.

He screams about you in his sleep,
And when he wakes does naught but weep,
In terror of the one they call, Jolene.

We cower here beneath your gaze,
That sets the earth and sky ablaze,
Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.

Before her wrath no foe could stand,
Their corpses piled upon the sand,
The blood of gods are on her hands; Jolene.

Her hunger barely satisfied,
She feasted on the ones who died,
She slumbers now in starless skies; Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you, please don’t disturb her sleep.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
We’re safe while she still slumbers in the deep.

Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape
Your claws rend flesh, there’s no escape
From judgement of the Eldritch One, Jolene

Blackening the summer skies,
With burning wings and countless eyes,
We tremble at the thought of you, Jolene.

Bliss withered from this awful truth,
Gone is the ignorance of youth,
The unrelenting mark of that Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
Please don’t take him just because you can.

The foolish who came to defend,
Their broken minds will never mend,
They fell at the mere sight of you, Jolene.

But I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair
My eyes have met your vacant stare
And I’ve been told I’m hard to scare, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
I’ll end this story just how it began
I’ll take your teeth if you try to take my man

The most disappointing part of school is taking a 101 class and making a bunch of deductions based on what you learn, and then taking the 201 and learning that other people had the same ideas first.

the school’s owner siphons off all the resources, leaving very little for the teachers, staff, and students to utilize.

2 guys cook cafeteria fare for the whole school - they don’t have time to get fancy. they want to make good food, even though they don’t get paid very well, but the ingredients they’re given are mid shelf cans of things purchased from bulk warehouse stores like Costco or Sam’s Club or whatever the local equivalent is. it tastes decent and checks all the nutritional boxes, but is less exciting than food you can make at home or buy from a restaurant.

if the people human livestock who need medical treatment to live are allowed to die, then the babies of the survivors will be cheaper to maintain because they’ll need less medical treatment

What’s your favorite bbq sauce?

While the panels themselves are smaller and cheaper, the need for the 2-axis tilt might make the total cost of ownership higher because of the increased maintenance, repair, and replacement costs of the moving parts.

It might be better suited to utility scale projects with repair techs on salary.

My guess is the month is most relevant to an agrarian society. It tells you where you are in the growing cycle that the entire culture revolves around. The day and year offer little practical utility to a 19th century farmer.

At that time, the first second of eternity will have passed.

We’ll be back the next time protons happen.

There is no escape.

yeah, just serve up some r34 animated rats and put cocaine in the beverages

There’s a lot to unpack here.

Lets start with the attempt to define “usefulness” as the degree to which connection to humans happens. Human connection on the internet has always been illusory. Yet we still find utility in it.

“Trusted sources” have always been 100% biased in favor of whoever owns them. We all have equal free speech rights, but some of us are more free than others because the ability to purchase a bigger megaphone scales with access to capital.

Organized, capitalized propaganda farms existed before LLMs and have been engaged in the same kind of destructive information warfare. LLMs seem to be more persuasive than the wage-slave humans employed by troll farms and other mass media outlets, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing if it manufactures a more rational public opinion.

LLMs lower the capital requirement to begin competing in the propaganda war. The biggest players who could afford to buy enormous media empires and fund human-generated influence operations are going to have to compete against the rest of us.

This planet has been a soulless hellscape longer than any of us have been alive, and LLMs are more likely to improve the situation than make it worse.
