I think that was the commenter’s intent, so don’t feel too bad

Good on you for admitting it instead of doubling down!

Yeah, I specified further down that I posted this pre caffeine and I meant they didn’t pay to be an advertiser

I posted that pre coffee this morning, but yeah, that’s basically what I meant

No ads for the world cup, so all the corporate branded stadiums are covering up the corporate name

The em dash is a nice touch

Out of curiosity, why 2-3 different ad blockers?

According to?..

Elder elephants can be absolute bloodthirsty bastards. Ironically, zero kill conservation is a large part of the reason, because they now live longer on average. Culling aggressive elder males that aren’t reproducing but are being aggressive and murderous towards other males that can mate helps improve their population overall.

There’s a guy above with a much more in depth comment above mine that I’d highly recommend reading

Look, I hate these data centers, but the vast, vast majority of them won’t be using residential lines. They’ll be running their own lines in order to not have their traffic be tied up by slow downs during peak hours. And with how expensive and difficult it is to run a model that’s worth the half a fuck the bullshit machines we have now are, an AI server running in every home is not only unlikely, but with how central these big companies want to keep everything, simply not happening. Hell, the vast majority of people who have been forced to use these chat bots in everyday work hate them. Plus, most people barely know how to install apps to their iPad let alone how to run a local server

Edit: also, you need specific computer equipment to run that fast. You can’t just plug in your computer to an Ethernet line and get the full 25 gigs

Honestly, fuck American ISPs, but what on earth would you need 25 gig fiber in your home for? We have a gig line that actually runs at a gig 99% of the time, and I can be downloading a steam game while 3 separate videos are being streamed and I won’t have stuttering. 25 gig sounds cool, but also utterly pointless

Nope. I got the verification email on my 20 year old account just the other day

As far as I know, it is. Type safety is optional but very useful sometimes

I mean, Typescript just compiles down to JavaScript. I’m also generally anti a million frameworks, but JavaScript to TypeScript is easy

Gotta love the void

It depends on a lot of things. Weight, truck availability, packaging size, whatever deal the manufacturer has with the shipping company, warehouse location, etc.

Supply chain management is an absolute unsolvable beast. I used to help out a local warehouse business, and the amount of work that went solely into optimizing their shipping costs was staggering

The guy they had on staff whose job it was to optimize everything was paid more than the owner or co-owner, and it was worth every penny. Dude was making 300k a year + 2% of all cost savings. Dude saved them 4.5 million on shipping costs according to the paper work I saw. And this is pre AI. Dude was doing all of this with scripts and spreadsheets

I mean, that makes sense to me at least. Drywall lifts aren’t difficult machines, they’re basically a lifting mechanism on a steel frame.

However, they are heavy and big mother fuckers, and therefore cost a ton to ship. Shipping is damned expensive, even without price fixing and gouging.

Nah, Florida’s gone from bright, clear, and sunny to “holy fuck, did we forget about a hurricane hitting land?” In the time it’s taken me to go to the bathroom.

Not use the bathroom. Just getting there.
