@JonLemire Overheard on a sidewalk: a German Shepherd puppy looking at today's New York Times, sees Kavanaugh story.
โDad," he asks, "why do I pee outside when the Times is still in print?"
โSo we brought you in here today because Melissa in accounting heard you refer to the copy machine as โretardedโ.โ

@thejackbeyer@DJSnM@blueorigin I have this exact file under my desktop folder.
Well, it's actually under Desktop/Cleanup/Cleanup_2026/Cleanup/rocket_files__final
@yacineMTB Ok, this is cool, but can you train it to hover a pole that is the size of the statue of liberty with 33 rocket engines and RCS thrusters, after descending from 100km?
remember when 512MB RAM was considered massive?
programmers wrote code like every byte mattered. optimized everything. squeezed performance from nothing.
suddenly nobody cared about efficiency anymore. just throw more RAM at it, problem solved.
now we have 32GB RAM and Slack uses 2GB just to show text messages. Electron apps eat memory like it's free candy.
we got better hardware and built worse software. abundance made us lazy.
@LordRubbishire@genteEGB@RaminNasibov Dang...you should have posted a trigger warning before sharing that.
I may not be productive for the next 50 years of my life now.
parents: imagine youโre good friends with the neighbors 2 doors down. would you put your baby down for the night and go neighborโs house for a drink if you brought the baby monitor?
@yacineMTB LM Studio with ROCm support only works for me on Windows, so I dual boot.
Llama.cpp works with ROCm under Ubuntu, but Ollama doesn't work either. They all three work under Windows.
@PubWanghaf What about the people who post videos of themselves pointing at the video in the background, and not even saying anything? I hope they're losing their livelihoods as well.
When the world shut down over a 99.9999% survivable virus, I had to tell a few dozen rig hands they were out of a job.
Then I had to tell even more frac hands. Then snubbing hands.
Then I went home to wait for my layoff.
Then I spent 6 months applying for jobs with no interviews because corporate America had banned White men in honor of Saint George Floyd, Patron Saint of Fentanyl.
A great Twitter friend who I am indebted to forever got me a job with a 25% pay cut, and I had to work physically harder than I had in a decade.
Anyway. Nobody in news media ever reached out for my story. And it wasnโt a unique story, I was one of a couple hundred thousand guys going through this.
@TuckerCarlson As a Christian I don't worship engraven images of God, so frankly I don't care. Even if Israel were a bunch of heathens, they'd still be better heathens than half of the rest of that region. Seems to be getting better over there in general, since the Abraham accords though.
@LadyOfTheSeaUK Don't accept that colic is a real thing. Your baby is probably reacting to something you're eating if you're nursing. Change your diet or switch your baby to a hypoallergenic formula if you want to end the suffering. It blows my mind that parents to accept that babies get colicky
@the_zach_attack@MikeyDiMercurio@Mericamemed $50,000 in 1981 would be the equivalent of $190k today, and at 18.5% interest rates that would make the monthly interest payment the equivalent of $2,800 a month. Again, interest, not even principal, taxes & insurance.
Those homes were on average smaller than 1,500 sq ft.
