  • We shouldn't tease. Right now I think he wants his political career banally centrist. When we make too much fun, they go full Tuberville or Walker!

  • Remember, anytime a New Yorker cartoon doesn't land, just substitute the caption with "Christ, what an asshole." You're guaranteed a befuddled chuckle at minimum.

  • Padme knows what she likes

    Jump

  • Like, she was cool with the slaughter of sand people, sorta.

    I mean, that's kinda enough... 😬

    "I killed them all. They're dead. Every single one of them. And not just the men… but the women… and the children too." Followed immediately by "To be angry is to be human" and a few scenes later by "I truly… deeply love you… and before we die, I want you to know."

    If the meme fits, wear it, Ms Padme...

  • How to cope with the very moment when death will come for you?

    Jump

  • Even in the absence of right-to-die laws, from what I've seen with older relatives, once the healthcare providers know what's what and divert you to hospice care, the drugs take care of the visible pain and, frankly, consciousness. These are generally practical, kind people who understand the odds and don't want to see suffering.

  • When you are proud to get a diploma while being illiterate

    Jump

  • I get it. We skew older here, but somebody playing around on the fuzzy edges of spelling a gen-z meme is not illiteracy. To be clear, I am also a clueless old, but I thought I'd look it up before piling on.

  • In these difficult times, holocaust deniers of all nations and creeds need to make sure they stick together.

  • Say it ain't so

    Jump

  • I’m deep into my 40s, and I’m one of those. I can get up to 70 words per minute for short stretches, but it’s still a weird dance that combines muscle memory and hand-eye coordination.

    I did learn just enough to know to hover my hands and keep my arms at a good posture, so I’ve never had any RSI from typing. That also may be partly because that I’m so inconsistent that I don’t get enough of the R for RSI, LOL.

  • I definitely like the 2nd

    Jump

  • It’s not exactly the same as an express line, but IIRC Starbucks already has a process where if you order brewed black coffee, the cashier dispenses it for you before taking the next customer, rather than turning it over to the baristas’ queue. There are so many things you can say about Starbucks, but failing to understand efficiency is rarely one of them.

  • Wanted to share one of the best bluegrass performances I've run across: Billy Strings at the Grammys

    Jump

  • I legit love that for you, and I can sneak up to what you’re describing, but it never quite lands and I eventually get worn out by trying. I’m in awe of some of the Banjo pickers I’ve heard, but it doesn’t hit me in the soul like a clever turn of phrase that rings true to life. To that end, I’m more of a Townes Van Zandt or Todd Snider or Robert Earl Keen guy, though I know Keen in particular loves him some bluegrass.

  • Does your hobby have a "random person in Nebraska" project? If so, what is it?

    Jump

  • So I have finally started seeing some viable replacements, after a several weeks long partial outage due to changing infrastructure at GitHub, but for years now, the custom keyboard design community has relied on a single person’s site, https://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ , to design keyboard layouts, and to generate properly labeled json exports to set up the most popular firmware.

  • Watterson was constantly chafing under the limitations on newspaper strips, and one of his “sabbaticals” was basically a one-man strike until the syndicate reluctantly strong-armed the papers into giving him more layout flexibility for the Sunday strips.

  • Wanted to share one of the best bluegrass performances I've run across: Billy Strings at the Grammys

    Jump

  • I like bluegrass, and I’m very fond of some individual bluegrass and bluegrass-inflected songs and acts, but I’ve never been able to make myself love bluegrass.

    My background makes me much more interested in lyrics, which I flatter myself to be a decent judge of, but similar to certain prog rock acts, the charms of high-tempo virtuosity are just lost on me.

  • Biggest print so far. About 42 hours and 2.6kg of filament. No, I don't have room for a table saw, how did you know?

  • 'People will buy intelligence from us on a meter': ChatGPT's Sam Altman's AI vision worries critics

    Jump

  • In small but statistically and financially significant numbers, yes, absolutely.

    The bigger paradigm shift will be moving corporate users to per-token pricing, and that’s the one that will really kill Anthropic and OpenAI (and maybe Oracle) if it doesn’t go how they need, but there are way more actual people spending money on AI than one might think… or hope.

  • Does a PBJ have a defined "up" side?

  • This is what I do, except the jelly is on both sides of a third and toasted piece of bread.

    Jump

  • I like listening to Ed Zitron stuff, though admittedly part of it is AI Doomer comfort food, but one of the drums he beats is that the spend is absolutely obscene, and they’re going to have to start dramatically dialing up the prices, and soon, to have any chance at all of converting to profitability.

    From what I’ve seen, even people who like AI won’t pay for anywhere near as much as they’re using now while it’s free or flat rate.

  • Dolly Parton - Jolene 19880110

    Jump

  • LOL, you can't know where somebody's head is at, though I understand that the version of the story in this video is way exaggerated, with Jolene being a composite of a cute and flirty bank teller and a redheaded fan with a unique name. I also think Dolly probably had to dig way deep to find the level of insecurity our speaker portrays, but as I recall she had to pretty meticulously craft her big persona to get the respect as a performer that she wanted.
