I always struggle with this during garage sales. Most of the time, I don’t even want money for my stuff. I just want it to go to someone who needs it.

But if you put a FREE sign on anything, people will just scoop it up, throw it in a truck already loaded with other free stuff, and take it to the flea market to sell.

It shouldn’t bother me, since the people selling stuff at the flea market usually are pretty poor themselves and probably need to make money. But it just irks me that instead of a mom getting free clothes for her kids, that mom would instead have to buy them at a markup instead.

Other talks include “Build-a-Cult,” moderated by the founder of the Christian networking site Pray.com, and “Build-a-Party,” run by a former White House national security official.

Well… I don’t like that.

WTF is Jared Polis doing on this list? Maybe that explains his out of the blue decision to grant clemency to Tina Peters

The problem with AI is that they cannot increase the prices enough to be profitable.

I saw something about the SpaceX IPO that said for it to be justified at that price, everyone on earth with some sort of money (they defined it as earning at least $14,000/year) had to become an xAI consumer and spend $28,000/year. Seems reasonable /s

I was talking to one of our cloud architects at work yesterday. They did a test and just ran in “asdf” to a chat prompt, and were able to trace the costs. It was 12 cents.

I could totally see AI costs getting out of control very quickly. Doing something like a Copilot formula in an Excel spreadsheet is easily going to run up hundreds of dollars of costs eventually.

I had to watch it to see if it was satire or not. It is not. MAGA is truly this dumb.

There seems to be a pretty strong correlation though

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like Roku’s fault.

Scumbag family.

Seeing Obi-Wan in a suit is weird as hell

Fuuuuuuuuck I’m tired of living through so many once in a generation crises.

Also you’re fired.

Lol my buddy just married one of those. I don’t know the terms of their pre-nup, or if they even did one. Wish we had a remind me bot so I could report back in 2 years!

Huh, it works on my machine…

The semester melted away like the cotton candy in that raccoon video.

As an American, I visited Normandy and the people there were very kind and welcoming to Americans. You’ve gotta be a huge fuck up for the people there not to like you.

How could you not believe in the scientific method? Propose a hypothesis, test for hypothesis, confirm or review your hypothesis, repeat.

Saying you don’t believe in that basically is the same as stating you’re dumb as hell and don’t believe in proving ideas.

Why thank you

I think oil and gas companies are responsible for a lot of that misunderstanding though. For example, you think the average person would be concerned about how heavy EVs are without someone pushing that narrative?
