Oh hey it’s me last Wednesday.

At some point it becomes easier to just travel to places to buy your gpus and such. When I was in Singapore, their prices on electronics were both good and compatible with my own stuff. I visit there to see an old MMO friend and it’s just… Closer to the source, I guess.

You’ve got way more patience than me. Just yesterday my own grandma was offended by my use of fuck randomly and I ended up defending myself instead of apologizing (she likes Tim Walz so I said the guy called Musk a dipshit and somehow that got me out of hot water lol). I don’t think I’d even have that much tact with a coworker.

You know, we kind of do have it and some apps will even let you know. But it’s got a lot of flaws as everyone else has pointed out.

You know what I kind of want is a way to see karma by instance. What you’re going to learn is that certain instances have rather extreme views (including the default lemmy.ml) and seeing how unpopular you are there while being popular elsewhere might actually make that feature more interesting.

Like, sure he’s a -100 on LemmyGrad but he’s a 200 on Sh.itjust.works; take that as you will. Lol

No, I think I’m with you with NBC. Knowing full well it’s a cliffhanger ending, I’m not sure I’ll be able to look away anyway.

Oh my. I hope that ends up being an interesting night rather than a tragic one. Then again, if y’all serving alcohol… might be very lucrative.

Need to zoom out to reveal they’re going a finonacci sequence. 1, 1, 2…

As others say, premades are generally less healthy and carry more preservatives like sodium. I personally keep them on hand anyway in case I need something in a pinch, but even then I have a few easy meals if foods are stocked (like carbonara, which i make tonight!)

If you do go frozen for the wife, be sure to check what you’re getting. My step father has been having heart issues lately and I don’t think he realized his diet of mostly frozen dishes were putting him at like 300%+ daily intake of salt.

I just can’t sacrifice entire weekends to reading webcomics like I used to…

I’ve seen it once, although more recently met a Genevieve which feels even rarer and just as pretty.

Sleep got a lot better for me when I followed medical advice and avoided my bed for anything but sleep (and the other thing, lol). Your brain needs to not associate your bed with work, school, video games, etc., so it can work as a trigger. Ever since I did that, I sleep within minutes of laying down.

Professionally wrapped chocolate covered brussel sprouts.

This just made me think about Shin Megami Tensei. I think Messiah (the closest equivalent to Jesus) would probably win 1 on 1, but the whole Hindu pantheon would probably wear him down eventuality.

Edit for non-smt fans: SMT is Pokemon for religious and folk mythology. Lol

I’ve worked mostly as a data scientist / analyst but regex was being user to identify various things in the SQL database (which was viewed locally via R table). I forget the exact is cases, mostly remembering how complex some of it got… Especially after certain people were using GPT to build them.

And GPT like to make up extra bits not necessary, but my coworkers didn’t exactly have the knowledge to read regex, which lead to nobody really checking it. Now it just gives me anxiety, haha.

Thanks, I now have insight into my own personal hell for when I die.

Lol.

I had a friend move there a little after COVID because he was learning Spanish and his job permitted remote work. He’s a naive Missouri boy, makes decent wage, and makes for a perfect mark. Yet, the people were very kind to him, a landlady kept an eye on him and he enjoyed it a lot. It helps that he got to live in a fairly affluent neighborhood, though, and certainly aims to make mainlanders comfortable.

His main complaints were mostly comfort-- boy didn’t comprehend how bad plumbing was there and his giant Missourian shits did not jive well with dated plumbing. It’s typical complaints of anyone living outside their upbringing, though.

I don’t think he could have made it if his company didn’t illegally force him back to the US, though (they cited taxes, but they signed a contract and just guilted his easily conned ass). I have a native PR friend who survived Maria and the grit to do that, I don’t see many Americans able to handle 6 months without power.

When it just came out I had AI write fanfiction that no sane person would write, and other silly things. I liked that. That and trail cam photos of the Duolingo mascot.

I think my complaints are more with how capitalism treats new technology, though-- and not just lost jobs and the tool on the climate. Greed and competition is making it worse and worse as a technology that AI itself, within a years span, has been enshittified. There are use cases that it can do a world of good, though, just like everything else bad people ruin.

It’s not really that hard to implement AI as far as I can tell, even if it does produce garbage results. Any CEO that thinks otherwise is getting bamboozled.

Not that I’m defending AI, boilerplate is still boilerplate and a crappier product is a crappier product. But they’ll take that trade off anyway which is why heads need to roll, lol

Did I say illegal immigrants? He’s threatened to deport way more than that, including legal immigrants, trans kids, political opponents, and more. Deporting political opponents doesn’t even make sense unless he’s really just saying he wants to detain them. Even if it’s a lie, scapegoating minority groups is a solid fascist tactic.
