MG is out as well. MG is short for MGB which is a small, older sports car that even in its worst condition probably has less milage than the above Karen.

Yes!

Throttle your posts, for fucks sake.

Homie got ded. He's ghosted, slid out his flesh jacket, closed the shop, and joined the unseen squad. Homie's no longer rockin' that pig kidney.

Because beard.

That sounds illegal or extremely fun. I can't quite tell which.

Ultimately you need only a tiny fraction of that data to emulate the human brain.

I am curious how that conclusion was formed as we have only recently discovered many new types of functional brain cells.

While I am not saying this is the case, that statement sounds like it was based on the "we only use 10% of our brain" myth, so that is why I am trying to get clarification.

A suburb north of Denver.

You are going to find a metric fuck-ton of political diversity in Colorado. While it somewhat follows a fairly standard pattern of cities being blue and the countryside being red, it gets much more complicated than that here. (The elevation and mass quantities of craft beer does strange things to a human after a time.)

AND.

Yeah, like many other people, I browse /all. Dudes post flooded my feed, basically.

Also, that account should be tagged as a bot. While some people may post this stuff manually, it seems kinda stupid to do so. I have no issues with bots unless they aren't tagged as such. (I tickles my OCD a little, I suppose.)

Meh, I just blocked OP and all is well.

Mr. Peanut approved.

That's because humans like to fuck.

That's fairly bold to ask for ~6% of the total world economy as well as a sizable chunk of the world's energy.

He is the one who paid to watch her have sex. The logic he is using is really twisted.

They can leech all the data they want from my employer. I don't give a fuck. Never use company assets for personal business as an addendum.

Just be a little more careful with your own stuff, s'all.

I guess the police were running low on bribe money.

Nope. The media will continue to bring crime forward as a story and the perception of people will stay constant. If I had to guess, people will continue to say that crime is getting worse, or it's the worst it has ever been.

Fuck religion, alcohol, politics, financial inequality, unaffordable health care and brain dead sports fans.

That's good to hear. The return policy for those things tend to be absolute garbage.

Your frame of mind is "dangerous". If you are browsing on your servers as root, you need to not manage servers anymore. If that sounded harsh, learn about attack surface area first and then I might let you back in the server room.

You won't find discussions about running browsers as root because it's not something you should need to discuss. Also, you don't need to be browsing "shady" websites to get compromised. Get that myth out of your head.

find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the system

How is extra steps and added latency more convenient? The latency of a console via remote desktop would drive me crazy. Hell, I haven't installed any kind of desktop environment on Linux server for over 20 years. It's not needed and a waste of resources. Who needs file managers anyway?

I'll chime in as well and agree with you. The author of that article doesn't seem know what he is writing about. Sure, he is kind of quoting the GAO article (it didn't link correctly for me from the article) but he doesn't quite know the insane amount of maintenance any aircraft go through.

I think my old squadron (HH-60's) only had about 50% of its birds ready at any given time. That was about normal since saltwater is absolute hell on just about anything made of metal. Also Jr. pilots are generally idiots and break things, so that is a thing.

Honestly, I read the GAO report and thought it was fairly normal for a newer piece of equipment.

I have seen a ton of LMG videos and it's very obvious that Linus doesn't handle conflict very well and will just immediately dig his heels in if he feels that he is in the right.

Here is the way I see it: Regardless of who is right or wrong, this is a series of unfortunate events that happened. Small mistakes or misjudgments don't always show themselves immediately. However, give it enough time and the floodgates will open and expose everything all at once, for better or for worse. When this happens to people who truly intended no malice, it's a fuck of a thing to deal with and usually gets worse before it gets better.

When all of your mistakes are gathered in one place for everyone to see all at once it can seem much worse than it actually is.

Am I justifying the actions of LMG? Hell no! They need to fix their issues immediately only because they have such a large fan base that listen to their every word.

Regardless, I have sympathy for them.

For the self-conscious: Cashiers generally don't give a fuck about your declined card and probably see declined cards many times a day. It's not worth their time to judge you, is what I am saying. If anything, they are just as broke as you and are quietly sympathizing.

You have to applaud the fact the bot did correctly report a negative savings and did not show us whatever the bot equivalent is of a seg fault.

Stock price moving is not a tech story.

This seems suspiciously like a "save game" feature. Many games even auto-save which functions suspiciously like what they are describing as a "trigger point".

While I am sure this is new and innovative, it still reminds me of when pyramid schemes mostly converted to MLM terminology. I had a friend that tried to convince me that MLM wasn't a pyramid. So, I had him draw their sales hierarchy on a sheet of paper for me.......

I am not a summary bot and this is what I was able to determine from the title:

Disney creates task force to explore AI so it can fire as many people as possible.

This was summarized by CrapGPT.

Haven't read the article, but I am going to say it's a bad alloy combined with salt in the air, salt on the roads combined with galvanic corrosion. I'll edit my post after I read this....

Edit: It's the deadly chromium layer not being wrapped in a $5000 clear coat.

I would say most of the content is already poison.

From my experience, these people have lots more shares than what they sold. And aside from spez, it's not really that much.

If I am not mistaken, these sales are also planned and public knowledge before the sales are executed. The key shareholders should know executives are going to dump stock.

But yes. This seems normal to me.

One thing of note is the average price spez sold for. That is actually below market value so it's likely that his sale price was fixed, which I believe is a thing.

He has too much cash to die and his investors won't allow it at this time.

Short-form videos are basically a form of cancer that keeps you alive with shots of dopamine every 15-30 seconds. I avoid those things like the plague.

The Pizza Hut corporation will be fine. These are franchises we are talking about. The franchises pay an initial fee of $25k and then 6% + 4.75% sales/marketing fees to Pizza Hut.

It's the owners of the franchises that are responsible for fucking over their employees. While Pizza Hut could reduce their fees, they won't. Franchise owners could increase pay, but they won't. It's more likely that the franchise owners will offload deliveries to Uber and Door Dash and not have to worry about managing drivers anymore.

The entire model sucks, so I am not blaming franchise owners over the corporation. They are both at fault for relying on the extortion of teenagers or other people who don't have extremely profitable job skills.

Edit: Also, these aren't one-off mom and pop franchise owners anymore. These are franchises owning conglomerates that likely have more negotiable franchise fees.

Most of the camera shots I saw of the "crowds" were of Taylor Swift. (I saw one other person, maybe?) Whoo, boy! I bet that triggered some rednecks.

The narrative is still forming, but someone is going to find something to stick shortly. (Something, something, bud light, something, bad influence to children... etc.)

You really don't know how our military industrial complex works, do you?

We are sending very little cash to Ukraine. Most of the money goes to our workers, in our country, to replenish our stockpiles. It would cost magnitudes more to refurbish our own rapidly aging stockpiles, if that can even be done at all. Explosive compounds degrade, and our missiles are even only rated for a certain number of flight hours before they have to be replaced.

Our stockpiles across Europe are a prime example of this. We have warehouses filled with different vehicles that are just sitting around collecting dust. Rubber seals and hoses are degrading and metal is rusting. It needs to get used for what it was built and stored for in the first place: A war with Russia.

Ukraine has a vast supply of resources. Not only do they supply a huge portion of the world with grain, they are sitting on massive natural gas reserves. If you think for a second that we won't benefit from that after this conflict is over, you are very much mistaken. Did you notice how simple instant ramen prices have been increasing lately? That is one tiny window into some of the much more major implications of letting Russia have their way.

Stop screaming that ignorant rhetoric. It's not a good look. It's almost like you were told to parrot that line from a politician or something.

While I am 100% behind US support for Ukraine, I have mixed feelings about Israel. The only thing that country is good for is a strategic position for us in the event of another war in the middle east, which seems to always boil down to oil anyway. I don't want to get into the political bullshit about that conflict, but I am just pointing out it's strategic benefit here.

"Eat the Rich" is now a symbol of extremism.....

That is extremely funny and extremely stupid at the same time. Honestly, after both of those conflicting feelings wore off, I am left in a state of confusion.

I mean, I get it. Just because phrases or symbols are used in extremist movements doesn't make the phrase or symbol exclusively extreme, with some exceptions. (Idiots will look at that "guidebook" and just leverage the FBI classification as a means to reinforce a bias, regardless of the context.)

For example, the Gadsden flag is a part of American history. However, it has also been hijacked for different causes. (I sarcastically see it in its original context as people still holding a grudge against the British, TBH.)
