i can't find it online, but im reasonably certain i heard an interview with this guy on Canadian public radio several years ago that really shook me. he talked basically about how he wouldn't fly on a Boeing plane, knowing what he knows and having seen what he'd seen, stuff like quality rejected parts getting taken back into inventory to meet quotas. the takeaway for me was that the quality control system that had previously worked so well was an invention of equal or possibly higher importance to any kind of aerodynamic innovation present on those planes. i work in an analogous role (in a different industry) and i really do take it more seriously after having heard the interview. nobody likes the work of quality assurance and you'll never see someone doing a non-conformance report on TV but it's a necessary condition for planes to stay in the sky. RIP to a real one and if he got murdered then i hope the industry burns

man i just spent like an hour in the bathtub reading further into this and belly laughing
i will say though that i think the guy who sold mike lindell the 'data' that he's referring to in the challenge might actually be a genius lol. this is apparently the third or fourth time he's identified someone who needs some kind of technological hail mary and then he just shows up and is like "i have.. the data". he sold proof that obama faked his birth certificate and also sold a bunch of completely bogus software to the pentagon during the post-9/11 defense industry boom such as software that "decodes" al jazeera broadcasts into secret al qaeda messages. an employee of his testified that he doesn't even have an IDE installed on his computer. he's literally made tens of millions of dollars off of this grift and despite being basically constantly legally embattled for the past 20 years has apparently not suffered any consequences. i wish him a long and successful career being the smartest dumb guy in the room
mike lindell actually comes away from this looking almost sympathetic because he is so, so clearly a moron whose conception of data is like, a PS1-era spinning icon of a CD-ROM. it's very hard for me to guess whether or not he was acting in good faith: on the one hand, the logical thing to do with proof of election tampering is not 'announce a five million dollar challenge for someone to prove that i don't have it', but on the other hand, it doesn't make any fucking sense to do that if you don't think you have proof either. either way i would love to know how much money he paid for it (by the way, the data is: a text file with a list of IP addresses in mainland china, a PDF with a 'graphic depiction of voting machines', and many terabytes of gibberish binary files timestamped to several days before the challenge was set up). look at this quote the guy is literally zoolander stupid
“I said, ‘Wow!’ This would absolutely explain what I couldn’t explain!” Lindell recalled in an interview. “It was done with computers! I knew that was the only explanation."
"When you've got a product with a lot of new technology or any brand new vehicle program, especially one that is as different and advanced as the Cybertruck, you will have problems proportionate to how many new things you're trying to solve at scale," he added.
does it have new technology? i thought it was just like, shockingly ugly?
i dunno, the premise of this question seems to me like homelessness is a riddle that homeless people just have not figured out. im pretty sure that if the answer could be crowdsourced in eight hours from eighty sysadmins on the toilet, it wouldn't be such an intractable problem
i was confused by the signs you sometimes see on escalators that are apparently warning you of their own existence for a good few years as a child
i am not familiar with gab, but is this prompt the entirety of what differentiates it from other GPT-4 LLMs? you can really have a product that's just someone else's extremely complicated product but you staple some shit to the front of every prompt?
look i mean, wherever the line is, im pretty confident nazis are on the other side of it
yeah i found this comic so opaque that i had to go look up the artist
it turns out that this is an explicitly christian comic where each strip is accompanied by a bible verse. the theme of this one is "love must hate evil" and it's accompanied by Ezekiel 33:11, Proverbs 6:16-19 and Luke 13:3
it sort of explains why you get that weird feeling when you read it, because the point of the comic is not to be funny but to communicate some kind of moralistic lesson, and the straight-line clarity with which the comics do that is in direct conflict of the normal subversion of expectations that typically makes things funny
that said, basically all of the comics that deal with death are to me unintentionally hilarious because i do not share the worldview that dying and going to heaven is like, a net positive

all in all this was a kind of fun little excursion into something i would absolutely never have looked at otherwise. i'm gonna go ahead and just not try to look into what the artist thinks about gay people so that this can be a positive memory for me lol
obviously Epstein killed himself to protect the secret technique of disabling security cameras and putting guards to sleep with his mind
sorry im not sure if you're asking or offering. if you're offering then absolutely, hit me. if you're asking then these two are pretty good:

it's crazy that trump has basically trained us all to be able to understand him because he's basically incoherent. in speeches he alternates between pre-written sections that he is clearly struggling to read, and completely thoughtless ad-libs like "many people are saying this" which he will say about literally anything. and in more spontaneous formats he's just all over the fucking place, he just leaves a trail of sentence fragments behind him until he's decided he's talked for an appropriate amount of time. and his voice, i mean, he sounds like mark hamill's joker after dental anesthesia. they should play his speeches on speakers mounted to the underside of cargo ships to repel whales
jordan peterson cooking up a whole new type of idiot. can't wait to see the first cohort of freethinkers launch a series of startups based on stuff like reselling the breadsticks from olive garden
interestingly i heard that his heart has already decayed into extremely rich bitumen. they're planning a memorial where once a year they extract a tablespoon to light a small flame and the smoke will be blown into a cambodian infant's face
ok it is absolutely hilarious that the apology letter calls the game 'The Lord of Ring: Gollum'
i kind of can't believe how long my Seasonic PSU is lasting. It's been on continuously for the last like, 12 years. unreal
yeah kanye for me too. used to be my favorite artist, paid out the ass for tickets on multiple tours, knew all the words to his first like, six albums. haven't listened to him in like a year and a half after the Alex Jones interview and Adidas stories came out. it's not even virtue signaling, it's just too much work to not think about all the horrible shit he's done and said. i count myself extremely lucky that i never got a tattoo
i know that in order to enjoy hip hop you basically need to be able to separate the art from the artist, but this dude took such a turn that now im like, was yeezus even good?
political power is when you assure your leaders that there is nothing they could do to lose your vote short of fucking your mom and even then you would have to consider whether the other guy would fuck your mom worse
i feel like there's a surprisingly low amount of answers with an un-nuanced take, so here's mine: yes, i would immediately lose all respect for someone i knew that claimed to have fallen in love with an AI.
what exactly am i looking at here? is this an open floor plan bathroom?

i always thought the point was that even if you miss, you've now shot a hole through the barrel and the water will drain out, killing the fish anyways
i was actually speculating that maybe they have a giant hog that can't be tucked down because it extends to their knees. OP pls update with hog size
i had this disconcerting experience several years ago, i was talking with a friend of a friend who i'd had a couple of classes with but never really spoken to, and we were talking about technology in some context, and i made some off-handed reference to the unabomber's manifesto. he didn't know what i was talking about, so i briefly explained the themes, industrial alienation, etc. and then he asked who the unabomber was, so i explained that whole thing. and i had to explain that like, i was not really serious about wanting to live in a cabin in the woods, it was just sort of a dark humor joke, then he said 'oh no it's okay, i totally understand,' and then he got serious and said, 'personally, i really agree with charles manson. the race wars are coming' i was like 'uh,' and diligently avoided ever being in the same room with him again. i'm not even white??
dark souls 2. i actually don't even think it's bad, but people seem to not like it.
ok i work in a kind of tangential industry and can kind of answer this probably
in general the higher the voltage the smaller the current, which you're generally happy about because your 1) electrical losses and 2) cable/wire diameter are both proportional to current
the tradeoffs being 1) it gets harder and more important to isolate the circuit (e.g. your wire insulation that prevents the 12V bus from shorting out to the vehicle chassis now needs to be thicker) and 2) all the stuff people make for cars (i dunno, windshield wiper motors, radiator fans, whatever) is currently for 12V
in general this move probably makes sense, provided they're able to figure out their supply chains, and if tesla can position themselves as being like the first company to figure out a bunch of these 48V components at scale that's probably going to be really good for them. they did a kind of similar thing with the charging infrastructure if i understand currently, like now the tesla charging cable is the de facto north american standard
would this be like, only in your own home? or would you be carrying the bidet towel around with you when in public?
i am struggling to either parse or believe this. you have successfully gotten an answer to the search query "what's that song that goes do do do do do do do"?
alfredo sauce. brings me right back to big family nights out at olive garden when my dad would slip the waiter five bucks to pretend like they just ran out of pasta
the amount that I got better at noita is higher than for any other game and/or bachelor's degree

im definitely an idiot but i couldn't figure out at all how to make a yubikey work with a keepass database on android
totally agree. and plus i kind of want to be charged money here. i want the musicians i listen to to get paid and be able to continue making music. i don't know if the amount they get paid vs spotify's cut is fair, but honestly if I wasn't paying my monthly subscription id probably be paying $0 and listening to less music.
nothing i enjoy more than getting zooted and watching people speedrun this game
did you mean chris brown for the tattoo thing?
just to clarify, the study provides numbers, it's just the article that does not
45% of participants were excluded for a score >= 6 on the DAST-10 drug abuse screening test, 13% were excluded for score >= 20 on the AUDIT alcohol use disorders identification test, and 26% were excluded for psychiatric symptoms according to the colorado symptom index
in total 229 of 732 participants passed all screening criteria (additional criteria: age 19 to 65, homeless for less than 2 years, canadian citizen or permanent dresident)
im still on a pixel 3a
article says he was fired in 2016 for being a member of a terrorist organization, but like, why wasn't that grounds to revoke his medical license?
very funny to release what is clearly a meticulously crafted response to career ending allegations of pedophilia while still staying in character as like the bad guy in a movie where a golden retriever learns to play counter strike
