Is it really the safety standards? I thought it was a combination of all the stupid “truck” exceptions and our equally stupid culture where the iamverybadasses choose their 3-ton grocery and kindergarten shuttles out of fear because they want to “win” any collisions.
Wow, this is really impressive y’all!
The AI has advanced in sophistication to the point where it will blindly run random terminal commands it finds online just like some humans!
I wonder if it knows how to remove the french language package.
I love this one because his voice comes through SO clearly when I read the text.
Any incremental improvement is worth it, IMO. Think of it like the flip side of the swiss cheese security model.
My intentional mindset and positive thinking don’t make my ADHD go away. But maybe they give me that last bit of motivation to get out of bed one day, or they flip the script and remind me that whatever activity my family wants to do with me this evening is way more important than that spare bedroom I finally started cleaning after several years.
When it comes to mental health and enjoying existence, never stop giving yourself the best chance you can.
Just gals being gals and guys being guys.
Gotta do it all the way, right?
When snails copulate, two penises enter two vaginal tracts.
That reminds me of this sweet old love song by an old cowboy band.
[Outro]
Criticize what you wreck
We’re fucking you back
Fucking you back
Hell yeah! I learnt that in F-Zero from Samurai Goroh and his Fire Stingray.
Yeah the whole “big rip” or whatever the colloquial term is, is an interesting one to think about if the expansion just keeps on accelerating.
But from what science news I follow, I think our models and theories in that area are in for a shake-up. It will be interesting to see!
I think that is kind of orthogonal to the concept of heat death, though, which is more about entropy. Any universe that has a solar system or galaxy in it is far from reaching the state of heat death.
Yeah, I wasn’t very particular about how far up the list. Top 50 was probably too much in most cases.
Looking back for my son’s birth year, his name is just barely in the top 100 for boys. So top 200 overall.
That’s actually more popular than I expected it to be, but it is definitely in the very broad sweet spot we’re talking about.
Looking back at my birth year, my name is in the top 10! That’s even more surprising because it didn’t feel that way at all. I think there was one other kid with the same name in my graduating class of hundreds. Yet I distinctly remember there was one class one year that had SIX "John"s.
edit: that’s six Johns out of a single classroom of maybe 30 people at most, not a different graduating class. They were in my grade!
Not a physicist, but I thought the heat death of the universe also involved all the matter being sucked into black holes and turned into pure energy. There’s a big chunk converted up front in the accretion disk, then the rest is converted into hawking radiation as the black hole(s) evaporate over the oodles and oodles of years.
Whether or not there are also lumps of iron-56 or other matter floating around in the cold void probably depends on the real truth behind dark matter and dark energy and their long-term behavior.
Time for a rev bump to DSM-6.66
Thanks! That’s usually what I’m going for.
When choosing my son’s name I had two rules:
However!
Ooh, I need to make one of those in my house. Both because it would be fun for friends and family (including the kid’s friends and our nieces & nephews) and the regression back to analog would satisfy some little petty yet righteous part of my brain that makes me avoid Facebook.
I can’t wait to hear more. Please just make a phone that I’ll want to buy. My phone is 4 years old and there’s just nothing I want to replace it with yet.
It has become less and less of an issue over time though. Not only have I gotten used to using my phone FAR less with positive health results, but I have set myself up to have access to my Linux PC during the “chill with the family on the couch” times in the evening when one might zone out on their phone for a bit. That’s what I’m using right now!
Ooh yeah let’s get a 6" 2025 take on the OG Motorola Droid with the slide out keyboard, to make it more linux-phone-y.
It’s like if you think of all the ways we influence other people and show our worth to others, all of the most immoral and unethical tactics that actually work in the real world seem to come to Trump instinctively. He doesn’t even have to think about it. I think that helps him instantly jump to conclusions (linkedin filter: he’s decisive and a risk taker!) and have the unearned dunning-kruger arrogance to plow ahead (LF: he radiates confidence and stands up for his beliefs!) and wreck the country just to make some numbers go up for people who otherwise want for nothing.
Or maybe he’s just being controlled by malicious forces. (linkedin: he has high-level connections in the international community!)
Nine sneezes means you are in Hell, unfortunately. You have already been dead this whole time, and your torture for this moment of eternity has been temporary amnesia and experiencing the sudden terror of realizing you are sneezing yourself to death. That price of darkness can be a rascal like that.
Go for it.
I got heavy into carpentry this year because another one of my hobbies involved a bunch of construction.
Working with wood is satisfying as hell. So is building the exact thing you need that isn’t a product sold anywhere.
