It’s actually looking like Trump might have burned a few bridges and the adults in other countries are finally in a position of power.

It’s been more than 30 years since I worked at a Target. Are they more lax on the dress code for that group?

What’s up with the kicking dude? Target employees wear red shirts and khaki pants.

They’re both McDonalds, but one is served at the White House.

That’s a first Gen CRV. Those lights are purely decorative and can safely be ignored for 80,000+ miles.

Screen capture and OCR. It’s not a perfect solution, but vendors send me locked PDF docs often enough that I have to get datum from that I’ve done it a few times.

My master bathroom (attached only to my bedroom) door generally stays open partly because the toilet has its own micro-room with its own door that can stay shut, partly because the dog likes lying on the cool tile, and partly because the HVAC system is more efficient that way.

I also have a bathroom between two rooms. My office and kids’ room share one. The office door stays shut all the time. The kids’ room generally stays open for a little additional light, to reduce accidents because they were sleepily fumbling with the door and because kids are inherently kinda lazy about things like closing doors.

Anyone who doesn’t pick this will quickly be insane, and have no friends. I walk through a lot of doorways in a day.

The books my wife reads have different results for love triangles. Wonder how freaky Lucas would have been if he could have gotten away with it.

Exabytes. Petabytes are easily surpassed by a lot of companies these days.

They drove a large swath of stores out of business. It’s vastly more difficult

A lot of animated movies have super star studded voiceovers. The pay is pretty good for these actors and they don’t have to spend hours on makeup and wardrobe. They show up in regular clothes, talk into a mic for a couple hours then go home and cash a fat check. Vastly easier than actual acting roles.

I’ve not missed a Veritasium video in a long time 😄. I’m sure that RAM is much easier to produce, but DRR5 is pretty complex still, and is what has been snapped up in whole by these AI companies. I’m actually wondering if we’ll see a resurgence of DDR4 motherboards, as those fabs are likely around still, just likely more idle if used at all.

I’m fairly certain that spinning up RAM fabs isn’t super quick nor something that doesn’t require the most cutting edge tech.

China is definitely ahead of the US in a lot of tech, but unless they do invade Taiwan they might not have quite a deep enough bench.

Lol. I often drink 3 cups of coffee before leaving for the office, where I usually drink a big mug-o sludge. At one point I was drinking a full 12 cup pot daily.

Somewhat dependent on budget, but don’t forget about FB marketplace. It’s pretty much the only reason I still go to that godforsaken place.

Money isn’t a thing. I saw that Musk is at 700B now. He can spend a million dollars a DAY for nearly two thousand YEARS.

That’s the old Slashdot model. It does change how echo-y the chambers become when you limit how things get amplified. Those with higher engagement get to push things a lot harder and I’d actually fear the opposite. An Ai model would certainly be able to echo the general feeling of a place and then slowly turn the dial toward a goal, and do it more effectively in that case as it can comment on everything anyway.

Back in the late 90s, at a seedy bar with my tech-head buddies, we snagged a booth/table with a crappy half blown speaker that was pumping music so loud you couldn’t hear ANYTHING. My buddy whips out his multi tool and proceeds to stand up and snip the wire going to the speaker. An amazing idea that I’ve really never had the chance to replicate, but inspired me to carry a multi tool a lot more.

You’re not an edge case. My family isn’t that large but we still have challenges with this exact thing.

There’s a screen device that my wife gets incessantly advertised to her that is probably a better option than it being built into a fridge that has been engineered to last 3 weeks longer than the warranty.
