I'm going to die on this hill that water is not inherently wet (and by extension oil is not inherently oily).

To say that something is wet, it needs two components: water and not water. You can say that a surface is wet because the water can be removed. If you remove water from water it's just less water. You can say that the container that the water is in is wet, but not of the water itself.

The same applies to oil as well.

Then you have that time that a professor tried to fail his whole class because he asked chatGPT if it wrote the essays.

I agree. The thought of bringing a child into the world in our current political and economical landscape would be gross.

I can't think of any reason why Apple, which has historically been against the right to repair, wouldn't support this!

oh no it's not the diet. it's the fact that I've been on my phone for an hour

I will die defending the Oxford comma

My primary method of typing on mobile is swipe typing:

FUTO dies does a fervent decent job at it, but it sum still has a way FYI to go fit for me to make a full switch IMO.

I am quite impressed by the voice to text method though. But I do wish it would show what is being transcribed in real time. Overall, I'm impressed with what the team is doing. I can't wait to see the next iterations of this, but for now, I think I'm going to have to stick with G board. Additionally, the GIF picker is super convenient on G-board.

ok so I don't really drink alcohol, but some online friends got me to try soju. Grabbed some from the store and... I don't get it. very much an alcohol taste to it. I can taste the plum in it, but it's just not that great imo.

Radar is basically the same thing as a flashlight. If you want to hide from someone's flashlight you have two options: absorb the light with a material (such as VantaBlack), or reflect the light away from the transmitter. The old solution was to do the latter, which is why the F-117 has odd angles: to bounce the light away from the transmitter.

you know that /s has been around since the discussion board days before Reddit was even a thing right?

That has nothing to do with whether it's USB 2.0 or 3.0 because it's backwards compatible. What phone do you have?

for android, there's a revanced plug-in that automatically removes SI from copied YouTube links.

For other links, I use URLcheck

Jokes on you, I don't need AI to tell me that. I couldn't make a good build in Minecraft if you held me at gunpoint.

that sounds like a modest proposal

only triple? there's a couple that I'm waiting on a repress for that are listed for 10x the price

Grand Thumb did a video on .22LR, and it definitely can still do damage at that range. Granted, you'd have to be an incredibly good shot, but could still be deadly

I don't know why people in the comments hate these. I use one and never had any issues with it. No spoiled butter either. Just replace the water regularly

I thought this was about Evangelion at first

yeah I keep seeing it everywhere, not really sure why

Take a look at Ollama.ai, just follow the installation instructions. A decent GPU is recommended, and the models are around 10GB iirc.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
