Easy explanation here: a not smart person and a dumb tattoo.

We’ll all be on the losing side, that’s for sure.

I remember giving a friend a model of an UFO for his model railroad. All lighting up, with a lighted acrylic cylinder as a “ray” below it. A cow was also included in the set.

I like the term “Ammosexuals” for those idiots.

Is the bot as ignorant about Reddit contents like the search engine was?

Nearly anything thrown at me in school. If I hadn’t loved books already, I would have given up on reading after the shit they forced on us.

In a societal collapse, it will be rather worthless, yes. But in an economic collapse, it probably retains more value than paper money or stock options. Property, of course, is premium. If you can uphold claims to it…

Tell me you have no idea how software development works without saying it…

I do model building with LEGO, and I use the Raspberry Pi Pico (which is different from a Raspberry Pi). For programming, I use the Arduino environment.

The controller has two cores, and, in the version I use it, has a wifi interface.

My models are modular and have a 12V power bus, and I use DC/DC adapters to generate the 5V or 3.3V needed for some applications. I use 12V because some lights and many motors needs them.

The controller has over 20 IO pins, lots of options for i2c and SPI busses, and the PIO system allows for easily driving NeoPixel displays.

The wifi is used to connect the processors to a central Mosquitto broker, so they can communicate, e.g. coordinating light effects or reacting to a button press somewhere.

If you invest in gold that is not physically in your posession, then yes.

If society breaks down, who is going to honor that piece of paper that claims you own gold in some banks vault? You don’t even know where that gold actually is…

Let me guess: That student was home-schooled by some overconfident religious nut parents and never saw a real school from the inside?

Real Christmas tree, fresh from a farm about 2km from here.

If you play more regularly, you get quickly used to this message.

He knows the NFL has loads of money, and asks them for fat bribes with this stunt.

Water with a hint of lemon or lime.

Hey, at least he got what Trump didn’t. He had sex with his daughters. But that is the part the pastor usually omits fish some reason. …

Somewhere over fourty years ago, i was fed up being bullied by a rich asshole in school again and again and again. So I hit him, just once, decking him and making him lose a number of front teeth.

At least he learned that lesson. He never bothered him again.

As long as he’s asleep he cannot post even more ridiculous nonsense.

Depends on what the company does. Moving feed bags from the left to the right? Might work in that constellation. Design and develop the next big thing? Unlikely.

Happened to my daughter: She’s studying abroad, with an English speaking course of mostly non-native speakers (she is also no native English speaker, but has a better command of the language than most Americans). Co-students were actually asking her which AI she was using because her papers were so good…
