Yes, I took a screenshot to send to my not terminally online people.

No, thank you.

People who fight dirty assume it is essential for any type of success and anyone who isn’t fighting dirty is a loser.

lol any way 💅

I just asked Husband, a chemical engineer, how much AI is happening where he works and he looked at me totally confused.

Mind you, mistakes in his industry typically come with dramatic and grave consequences.

I'm pretty sure I'd adore this game.
Which is why I avoid it.
Because if I did love it...then the rest of my life would cease.

This kind of thought process crops up a lot w/ a certain type of new writers (mostly men) that don't read much.

They'll send in a story: "This plot will blow your mind," & has "original plot twists. The story will inevitably be the most clichéd & predictable tale.

Which they'd know if they read.

Because that requires planning.

Even trying to use the product is maddeningly frustrating.

To read a PDF now I have to click to get rid of the upgrade box, then get rid of the “let AI summarise this long doc so don’t have to read,” AND THEN, there is another ask AI box I have to get rid of…

All so I can actually READ the pdf.

That’s…

I am not surprised that he feels that way.

I am just surprised he typed that out for all to read.

Then again, a lot of people are saying stuff out loud that society would have once shamed them for…we are regressing.

I can not even begin to explain the complicated logistics of unloading a tanker onto trucks and then reloading it.

It is the whole "eye of the needle" situation of yor with camels but a billion times more complicated and expensive.

Husband is a chem eng in processing. Hears a lot.
Like this project, where a tanker could get product within 10 miles of where needed.
Now...how do you cover that 10 miles w/o pipline?
TRAIN, they said.
Husband did the math and pointed out they'd need to run a train every 10 min 24/7.

That statement raises even more questions.

Anyway…

Your last like is murder-fabulous.

That must have been one hell of a wind to do that. Yikes.

I also wonder if the real big players, like Stephen King, had their legal team go after them.

Or JK R. Not a fan of her current vile politics. But she’s filthy rich and knows how to use lawyers.

And Grammarly is a better target for her wrath than innocent people just trying to people.

It’s an excellent theory.

They appear to have released him, despite being sentenced for 3 years.

The whole thing is odd.

Basically criticising a local government official on FB. Didn’t threaten the official’s life. Just a man ranting on his own FB page about an official and…arrested.

I have so many questions.

Yes.
The people are doing an enormous amount of work.
It gives hope.

Despite the fact opposition leaders as a whole a failing.

(Yes, there are exceptions but they are not the majority.)

This is what haunts me - 3 more years.

An enormous amount of destruction was accomplished in a single year.

3 more?

And damage snowballs. It isn’t a 1+1 impact. It’s a 1+3+6+12 situation.

Anyway…at least my dogs are cute.

(Silently screaming.)

Fantastic fly-on-the-wall live posting of a judge grilling a DOJ atty who supposedly filed AI docs with quotes that turn out not to be accurate.

Vibe quotes?

(The judge’s professional wrath is really something to behold.)

This band gives me joy.
Been listening to them for a long time.
Know very little about their personal lives.
So nobody tell me if they are deplorable humans. Let me have a happy musical bubble.

When your dog training mentor is in jail, so you find yourself reaching out to a dog trainer in another country for advice...

They were lazy and used their brand to steamroll over you.

It is brilliant you are standing up for yourself. But how exhausting to have your time abused in both their initial actions and now.

You ever advocate for an event…pull others in to try to create opportunities for them…and then when the announcement comes…they’ve taken over and you are “given” 15 minutes to do you “little” thing?

The thing you spent all bloody weekend planning…

Anyway, no.

This whole thing smells bad.
Was I her biggest fan?
No.
Does the word “waffles” now make me cringe?
Yes.
Do I think she did Link dirty?
Yes.
But now that she’s done the hard work the woman is being shoved aside so the boys can do “real business.”

I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.

I have been giving a lot of thought to diesel generators. Not just because of data centres, though.

South Africa can be quite reliant on them for basic electricity.

You know, when the coal isn’t enough…

Sigh.

That is very, very adorable.

My son used to clap “wrong.” Was a bit sad when he figured out how to do it like everyone else.

“But she’s pretty.”

Actual quote said to me after I mentioned a certain girl was on the spectrum.
