Not hide. They want to return the developed world to literal medieval-style surfdom economics. It’s total egotistical delusion.

Ohhh, friendo, there’s about 500 million Christians in Africa that are heavily besieged by Evangelicals pushing this for the political clout. It’s rampant.

Plus, that Joel Osteen guy peddled a version of this hard.

Yeah, the widely practiced “Prosperity Gospel” stuff is like a religious studies PhD designed the most anti-Christian form of Christianity for a thesis, and suddenly people started picking it up and running with it.

Remind me which level of Hell the hypocrites are in? Is it higher or lower than the one reserved for Jesus now?

OK, well let’s see how it plays out in 20 years and see where things go.

100% agree. These along with induction charging roads are what puts EVs over the line in terms of average distance per charge.

Sodium is also far easier to get, no mines involved. This might be closer to the era of 89¢ gas.

I don’t hate the “art.” The AI can’t do much about it.

What I strongly dislike is people who manage to draft literally 40 words or less and think they “created” something.

You didn’t. You a mathematical model to do something for you. You therw 175 tokens into a whirlpool and got am 87% what you wanted image out. If you even had an idea of what you wanted before hand.

Proposed foreign aid cuts could WILL lead to millions of HIV deaths.

FTFY

Aerosolized lead likely would smell like something, which is ultimately what we’re taking about. A machine shop has a distinct smell because there’s aerosolized steel in the air.

Well, it makes me double check my knowledge, which helps me learn to some degree, but it’s not what I’m trying to make happen.

I like to use GPT to create practice tests for certification tests. Even if I give it very specific guidance to double check what it thinks is a correct answer, it will gladly tell me I got questions wrong and I will have to ask it to triple check the right answer, which is what I actually answered.

Can’t smell something that was so pervasive in the environment that an estimated 660 metric tons are frozen into Antarctic ice. Humans only smell changes in things, our brains are wired to grow to ignore a pervasive smell.

Yeah, that stale cigarette smell permanently baked into things like hotels or cars or houses is the smell that immediately brings me right back to the late 80s/early 90s. But fondly to some degree.

Metal and stale.

And absolutely yes with the coal.

Bourbon back then wasn’t as refined. Basically gasoline. /s

Before the 1990s, it was cigarettes all the way down.

1980s - cigarettes and hair spray.

70s - cigarettes and alternating body odor and heavy cologne/perfume.

60s - cigarettes and canned food.

50s - cigarettes and gasoline.

40s - cigarettes and either gunpowder or a machine shop.

30s - cigarettes and dust.

20s - cigarettes and bootleg whiskey

10s - cigarettes and bloody mud

1900-1909 - cigarettes and horse shit in the street.

What disagreement? This is literally what Rubio said in his confirmation hearing.

Oh cool, I have a free OK cupid account I can delete? Fun!

A friend is smoking a brisket this weekend 🤤

Doing a dual boot for Windows and Linux Mint is shockingly easy. Mint will do the work for you from the install USB. I think I did that about a year ago, and haven’t been back over to Windows in months. 9/10, would recommended.

At this point, troubleshooting, when/if needed, can start with ChatGPT for very basic stuff, then the Linux Mint forum if you happen to come upon a real head scratcher. That’s most likely to come from your computer having some obscure or super new component that doesn’t have quite the right drivers yet. Which isn’t a common experience anyway.
