I can’t help but wonder if that actually used to be true, but it was because of more accumulated lead exposure over time rather than aging over time.
I’m an old white guy born into conservative religious america, and my entire adult life has been spent sliding to the left as I observe the left being correct and giving a shit about people while the right continues to be disingenuous and destructive and greedy.
Looking at that kind smile, I feel like if I can just get some exorcism of my demons from her while getting my mental health treated by counselor Troi, I can finally get my life together.
I dunno, that might be some immensely relieving news to hear, that all this is not true reality.
Ooh, I think I’ll start using CoPilot to do basic math and unit conversions in addition to doing them the correct way. Then I can note in my goals & reviews how I have been utilizing the AI resource and keeping tabs on its advancement.
Seriously. A human workforce could never dream of being capable of the same insatiable greed as the gigacorps trying to sell AI.
I wonder what the deaths per pedestrian mile stat is for America vs the rest of the world. I would expect it it be even more terrifying. Ouside cities I am used to pedestrians being an extremely rare sight unless in a parking lot.
Ah yes, the workplace version of “it’s not cheating if they put it in the game!”
Sure it’s bizarre to see somebody believe that, but it’s because it is so easy to believe with all the shit going on, not because it’s something difficult to believe.
iirc that water released from japan wasn’t even that radioactive on its own before dilution, but nuclear scary stuff gets attention and clicks.
New phobia unlocked.
I have had adductor/hamstring leg cramps in the past that were gnarly enough that my muscles bled. Big deep bruises coming up from underneath that looked like I had a broken bone or something.
I have the perfect story for this.
About a decade ago I attended a week-long reliability training held by ASQ (the American Society for Quality). One day heading back to my hotel room I shared an elevator with the then-president-chairman of ASQ.
He was chatting about airliner safety, and how the engineers would do things like test/measure/calculate to find the necessary thickness of a part, and then just triple it for safety because they could. He said he’d never hesitate to ride a commercial airliner.
He then said he would never ride in a helicopter as long as he lived, lol.
It’s fun to imagine an opposite world where everybody has EVs and other more efficient forms of transit, and then industry wants to introduce ICE vehicles to the market.
You fill it with flammable liquid poison and it shoots gaseous poison out the back while it’s running, and nobody can refuel at home, and it’s immensely more mechanically complex, but at least it’s quick to fill with fuel at the fuel store! Just try not to inhale the poisonous explosive fumes or spill the poisonous volatile liquid on yourself while you do it.
Price aside, as somebody who has gotten pretty good at ignoring my old normal slab smart phone, this might only make sense for nostalgia and conversation starter reasons.
Now if I could force this thing upon other people in my life who cannot separate their eyes from their doom-screen, we’d be on to something!
Hopefully the human first responders are automatically dispatched when one of the drones responders to something, so that they will be there to patch up the people slashed repeatedly by the blades on that drone. Which, given the world we live in, is guaranteed to happen.
The admins have decided that most of us can take so much more absurdity before we break. This experiment is sick, I tell you.
thanks!
Just think of the CoSt SaViNgS when 3 years from now and all that shiny new hardware is obsolete compared with the nvidia Orphan Crusher 3000, and instead of paying for a silly decommissioning and responsible recycling project you can just cover your eyes for 30 seconds and let the meth heads scour the site.
iirc, apt-get is the version to use in scripts. They keep the input & output consistent so that it won’t break things.
Regular old apt is for humans to use at the command prompt, and that’s what I use all the time.
I wonder if anybody has told Micron about what happens when customers sign a contract but then declare bankruptcy shortly after.
