I use the Apple Credit card and finance through Apple. The benefit is that I can pay as I go (and it’s 0% interest on Apple products) and the phone is effectively unlocked for any carrier you want.

The ones I use do use citations, though I do sometimes find dead links and I have called it out on that so it can provide another link for the information it is sharing.

No one should blindly trust any LLM or any source for that matter. Should be, at the very least, 2 unrelated sources saying the same thing, with an LLM not being one of the two since it is just regurgitating information.

But it really depends on the usage and how serious it is to you. For health stuff? Should definitely seek multiple unrelated sources. Wanting to know some trivia about your favorite movie? Maybe check 1 of the sources if it’s that important to you. Definitely should get the source if writing a paper for school, etc.

I use the LLM as a search engine, of sorts, and rely on the sources it shares more than the information it provides in some of the work I do. I sometimes find it easier than using my methods which now don’t always work or for situations like describing something with a lot of words.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should

Make sure to get your rest and take care of yourself!

I’m taking a full week off of work in a week just for this :D

Pretty good, how about you?

Could be a few things:

  • one is clever cuts. Film one scene and film a scene at a different time. The time you see the actor looking at something erotic, you position the camera on them but they are looking at something that is not erotic so they don’t get aroused. But you give the illusion that the character is looking at it to the audience.
  • masturbation. If you masturbate before the scene, then you are less likely to get visibly aroused.
  • get an actor who isn’t aroused by that. If filming a scene with a man trying to seduce another man and he fails, then get a straight guy who won’t be aroused by the gay seduction.
  • too many times filming. Many scenes you see on TV and movies have been filmed multiple times. Rare is it for them to do one cut and be done, even if it was perfect and got everything the director was hoping to see. After doing that scene a few times, the natural feelings get lost on you. It’s why a lot of funny scenes that make the audience burst out laughing uncontrollably can be filmed without the cast and crew doing that to ruin the scene. You’ve done it so much that you are now so tired and bothered, you don’t feel the natural urge to laugh or be aroused. Some directors will use this to their advantage in, what some may consider to be unethical, to agitate their actors into feeling emotions for a scene or so they don’t feel emotions for a scene.
  • some actors just have the natural ability to hold back some natural emotions. It’s what makes them so good at their job.

I find more success in private party transactions on sites like OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace in the US. Not sure how it is in India, but most places around me don’t do trade-ins unless it’s like Apple for a smartphone or laptop and they give you such low cash that it’s nearly worthless. They offered me $50 USD for my 2017 MacBook Air that is still going strong. That won’t even cover sales tax on a new MacBook Air of the lowest variety.

But I posted this on local sites for my area and posted a price with a thing in the description that I’m open to trades. While waiting for a response, I go check out other listings, sometimes specifically searching for “MacBook trade” and I’ll find tons of non-MacBook listings that have these keywords and I can make a deal with these people. Either to trade with cash or not.

Some people will be willing to downgrade with the promise of cash on your side because they want money more than they want another item. And in the case of a camera, if someone doesn’t really want to give up their camera but needs the money, hey that might be your ticket so they can at least have a camera of the same type that is a downgrade and some money on top.

Did you make this or are you just promoting it? Your post history seems to suggest you just spam links but don’t actually contribute to the posts you share. Why here on self hosted? Is this self hosted by you or someone you know?

Probably taking advantage of you. You seem like you’re the only real person who’s been kind to her and she doesn’t respect it but desires it and only comes when she needs it.

That’s a user. Someone who doesn’t care about you and only wants you around when you benefit them.

A true friend is someone who is there with you for the good and bad times, alike. They’re not just coming around because they need help. They’re also coming around because they want to spend time with you and grow with you and they want to be there when you need help too.

This is not a friend of any sort. This is a person who uses people.

You seem to partly know this deep down since you call her a former friend. You know she’s up to no good.

 

They tasted good! Was craving a burger and didn’t want to go out and spend money somewhere.

Don’t judge the oversized cut of tomato in the back…no idea how that happened lol

I wondered that last week when I made some BBQ chicken sliders kind of like these, if anything on the vegan side has come around to being similar.

It’s so smart. It’s a wonder why no one ever thought of it before…

Not even a thank you? That’s rude!

 

I see ads on Facebook Marketplace and the like for used AirPods and it grosses me out. I can’t imagine putting that in my ear after it was in some stranger’s ear. I feel similarly with friends and family to a lesser degree.

I just had a guy offer to trade my MacBook for his used AirPods and I felt like barfing 🤢

 

This is the absolute worst season on planet earth. Fuck summer and everything about it.

It’s so uncomfortably hot and it is midnight here. This is fucking apeshit. I’m tired and can’t even fall asleep because I’m hot. The air conditioner is taking forever to cool my room down.

And to top off the heat are the bugs. I hate every last one of these motherfucking bugs that feel comfortable enough to come out during these unholy nights.

As if the heat wasn’t bad enough, I had a centipede directly above the pillow I sleep on, on the ceiling. Fantastic. And then a spider came right after it, creeping all over the ceiling. Last year, I had an earwig fall onto my pillow right in front of my face as I tried to sleep.

And the ants come out too. Leave a tiny morsel out and those leeching assholes come and won’t leave for months. I don’t eat at my desk ever but I still have ants crawling on it every so often trying to see if any food is there they can steal.

And what can you do about the heat? Nothing. Even getting butt naked doesn’t do anything for you. Waking up in a pool of your own sweat is one of the most awful experiences ever. Showers are wonderful but not if you exit the shower and immediate sweat all over your once clean body. Now you’re sweaty and sticky all over again. My balls are sticking to my thighs and it is the absolute worst feeling. I try to adjust it but then I get people looking at me strange. Yeah, my fucking balls are killing me over here. You try having a pair of nuts hanging off of you and sometimes sticking to one side and try not adjusting it.

My electric company makes it worse because coincidentally when it is hottest, between 4 PM and 9 PM is when they get to double my rates for “peak hours”. The rates are already highest in the country as it is, but they go double during the times when my house is actually getting the hottest. Having a $300+ electric bill is normal here. And who gets cheaper rates? Why those who are rich enough to buy multi-million dollar mansions near the beach where the weather is a nice 70° F all year long and they have no need for air conditioning. Of course they need the cheaper rates…

I fucking hate this season. I hate living here. I’m so glad when it starts cooling down. Yes, please come 40° F in the late winter. At least then I can do something about it. I can wrap up in a warm blanket, I can grab a sweater or wear a hoodie or double up on clothing, I can make a fire…I can do a lot. But this heat is just miserable and nothing helps. Fuck summer.

 

I just got my system all set up and using KDE Neon distro. I got Steam installed and been playing a few games that work fantastically.

My biggest issue is that the shaders take a very long time.

So far I’ve played Ghost Recon Wildlands and Ready or Not and both took longer than the download of the game. Like 30 minutes.

I was okay with this as a first time setup sort of thing, but it seems it did this on first two starts of the game. On the third time opening Ghost Recon Wildlands, I didn’t see this again.

But my question is, is there any way I can speed this up and is this normal to take this long? I remember shaders taking a minute on Windows too on this same machine, but never this long. At most, 10 minutes, but never more than that.

My setup:

  • KDE Neon User Edition
  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600
  • PNY RTX 4080 Super
  • 64GB DDR4 RAM
  • 2TB Samsung 860 Evo SSD
 

Was curious about this on a family member’s new laptop running Windows 11. Is there anything Linux can do with this processor yet?

 

A family member of mine let some guy who knows a guy she knows park his vehicles on her property. She has 1 acre of land with it being mostly trees and flat land and various wildlife. I’ve seen coyotes, rabbits, possums, and more running around there and it’s a nice place to walk around to feel like you’re away from it all without the actual distance. Trees everywhere, most being taller than most buildings in the city.

So how does this asshole thank her? By littering his stupid crap everywhere.

The picture is a vape cartridge that was tossed into a seasonal pond. It’s a nice place to walk around when it’s not actually filled with water. Only for me to stumble on this crap in the middle of it. I think what enrages me even more is that this pond, when filled in the season, will be home to ducks and their families, as the young ducklings learn how to swim and fly before leaving on migration. So had I not found this and cleaned it, it’d have contributed to pollution for these new families using this as their home. Possibly even poisoning them, at worst.

Then I found a lighter thrown in the bushes somewhere and cigarette butts lying on the ground in random places. NO smokers have ever tainted this area with smoke paraphernalia until now. This land has been here forever and this asshole is the first to bring this unhealthy trash here. Not to mention this is an area that often deals with bad wildfires, so thanks for helping start the new wildfire! That’s just what this area needs.

Then I find empty water bottles crushed and thrown in random spots. All are the same brand of water the property owner buys. Which tells me that this is an additional way he’s showing gratitude. “Gee thanks not only for letting me use your land to park my shitty cars, but let me also show thanks for sharing your water with me by throwing it around your yard too!”

Yes, trash cans exist and not locked on the property in various places. All one has to do is walk up to one. Some of this trash was only a few feet from a trash can.

Yes, I did pick this crap up too. I didn’t take pictures to only to vent online, but also to share with the owner so she’s aware of what an inconsiderate fuckhead she has using her stuff.

I’m legit pissed. If you litter, then fuck you too.

 

My electric company puts out ads showing their employees going to work. That was literally the commercial I just saw for my electric company and then they show their logo in the corner.

What is the purpose of this? It’s not like they have a competitor and this ad might make me switch back to them or stay with them.

So what’s the point in making these ads?

 

Inspired by WaBa Grill, except their cut of the beef. I was at the grocery store and grabbed the quickest cut I found which was taco beef. But this turned out really well! Very delicious.

 

I remember a time when the news would refuse to show something and I’d go to YouTube to see the uncensored clip.

But today I was reminded of how bad YouTube has gotten when a YouTube video censored a news clip because the anchor said “died”.

And this has led to the dumb trend of new terms like “unalive” and “self delete” like that makes it any different. It just moves to the next term that the algorithm will pick up on and lead to another dumb term to avoid the censors.

But for what? Like we did we get to this point? Who gives a fuck if they talk about suicide or death and it’s in context? Someone could be talking about a serious topic like their failed attempt and warning someone to not try it and that video gets removed/hidden. Good job, YouTube.

I’ve been making some videos too and it’s stupid the things I’ve had to avoid just to ensure my hard work doesn’t get hidden or removed because YouTube doesn’t like a term I used, even if it was in proper context. I’m not even getting paid for my videos but I don’t want my hard work going in vain. I release my videos on multiple platforms and it makes me want to skip YouTube, altogether, but I only keep it because it’s the most popular.

It’s so fucking stupid. The internet used to be the place to go to get the real story without unnecessary censors.
