*bullshit
Every morning for the past 20 years. Mostly TWIM, but only for 20 minutes as a formal sit. Lots of short meditation breaks during the day, though. It has made me way less of an asshole, and a happier person.
I don't remember that one, but Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards was a favorite on my PC with EGA graphics.
As a Detroiter, I think I really need to watch this.

I keep seeing this showing up in memes. Was there anything particularly interesting actually being shown to her? Her expression is pretty funny.
I've tried paid versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. I am currently using Gemini, and it is working reasonably well for me.
I mostly use it to replace searches. I haven't used Google in years, but mainly relied on DuckDuckGo until SEO made it less useful. My secondary use case is for programming. I tend to jump around to a lot of different languages and frameworks, and it's hugely helpful to get sample code describing what I want to do when I don't know the syntax.
Once in a great while, I will have it rewrite something for me. That is mostly for inspiration if I want to change the tone of something I wrote (then I'll edit). I think that all of the LLMs suck at writing.
I would love to understand this better. I have worked in power generation before (writing maintenance software for a nuclear plant, so I picked up a few things). I don't understand the distribution side at all, though.
Can you suggest a book or article on the subject?
Renewables are an important part of the mix, but seems like nuclear is more important right now. It's the best way to move industry away from coal and gas in the long run, though it's something we in the US should have started on 30 years ago.
I'm aware that nuclear power has it's own set of complications, but they're more solvable than reducing emissions without it
Same. I bought a 4-pack of toner refills with it. I'm on the 2nd one.
I am not a planetary scientist, but I have read a bit on the subject. My understanding is that it's almost entirely due to the lack of magnetic field. The solar wind just blasts the atmosphere away over time.
If we ever reach a high enough state of technology to terraform Mars, we will have to figure out some way to protect the atmosphere. I found this video to be a really interesting take on the subject: https://youtu.be/HpcTJW4ur54?si=P-HpbrHPjJFfAaEI

You can block entire instances. I blocked hexbear and lemmy.ml, and my feed became MUCH more pleasant to read. The vast majority of trolls seem to be on those instances.
So what I love about Lemmy now is that comment threads rarely turn toxic like they do on Reddit.
