Remember when gas was cheap because the entire country ground to a halt due to Trump mismanaging COVID? Those sure were the days…

I’m in the same boat. On the one hand, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. On the other hand, Elon Musk.

It’s always good to witness a lucky 10,000 situation

Sapiens and Homo Deus are both such good books. Lots of little anecdotes like that we’re just so fascinating.

I feel like that’s good advice for reasonably intelligent people. But it’s kind of a slippery slope, especially for people that are dumb as shit. For example, my neighbor became a hard antivaxxer during COVID.

She mistrusted everything that was actually science, assuming that she since she didn’t understand what qualified professionals were saying, they must be wrong. But if someone could make a simple (even if incredibly wrong) argument on YouTube, she’d eat that shit up.

We were playing some game (don’t even remember what) back in 2005 and I read a card that said Lebron James as “Lee-bron James”.

My wife will not let this go. It’s been almost a full 2 decades, but anytime Lebron is mentioned in any context whatsoever, my wife will give me that look like “haha Lee-bron. You moron.”

Didn’t they actually have people in robot costumes previously though?

Not even when you could responsibility have kids. Honestly, it’s all downhill once you’re like 12-14.

Sharing this post I made 5 months ago:

I’m an IT consultant and I had a meeting with AWS yesterday. My manager asked me to give the AWS team an overview of our solution so they could see what they could use for a new program they were pitching our clients. That’s all the information I had, so I started the meeting by saying “I’m not sure what you all are proposing, so I’m going to give you a high level but please let me know where you need more details.”

After I had finished giving my overview, I tried to get more info out of them about what they were proposing to build. I shit you not, their response was that they wanted to "build an app that allowed the business to run with AI and ML (Machine Learning).”

They didn’t say, “we want to solve X and Y problems” or “enable Z functionality.” Literally their entire goal was to build something with AI. I’m glad I wasn’t on camera or in person, because I literally face-palmed.

This boy’s got the look of a future Supreme Court Justice.

I love the angry eyebrows in the last panel

“Alright, let’s turn on the AI Mega-Thinker 3000 ^TM and see what it says about solving climate change.”

INVEST IN RENEWABLE ENERGY AND OVERTHROW THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS

“…well that can’t be right.”

I just did the math and that’s the equivalent to a little more that 3 and a half Chipotle burritos. I can’t imagine trying to flush that down my toilet.

Pronounced like the G in “gif”, I presume.

I went back to Voyager, which is a shame because I really like Sync and pay for the premium version. But yeah, it’s completely unusable right now.

That was a beautiful alliteration, but in reality it’s 24/7.

Godspeed

The Lemmy no poop challenge memes were when I realized this was where I belonged.

Kamala did this the during the debate and it worked much better than I expected. She was basically like “yeah everything this guy just said is bullshit. Anyway, here’s what I’m going to do.”

I went back to Voyager for the time being. It’s similar to Sync that it should do the trick until LJ hopefully sees the bug and gets a fix out.
