Reminder to any dog owners: Keep them close on the bike paths and pay attention for oncoming traffic (or just stick to sidewalks and dog parks).

I will say, LLM does have some legitimate uses, but the "AI" garbage being crammed into every conceivable thing is aggressively stupid.

No thanks. I'd rather have Google Assistant back and Gemini can fuck off forever. I just wanted to set timers and navigate hands free, but Gemini seems to find ways to fuck up even the simplest stuff that Assistant could reliably do, even offline!

This is the "AI" experience in nutshell: Shit is straight up broken and unreliable compared to what we had before from search to digital assistants to what should be basic apps we need to use.

In no appreciable way has "AI" improved my life, but it has definitely made everything way more expensive, caused massive harm to the environment, and is literally making people who use it stupid. What benefits is this asshole talking about!?

I boil and filter: Fuck plastic bottles!

Thinking about getting an osmosis system though.

Thanks corrupt politicians and shady corporations! Surely an enraged populace will keep letting shit like this slide indefinitely, right???

Yeah, it'll be fine. Don't worry about doing the right thing.

Firefox with Ublock Origin and using reader mode got past the paywall for me.

Thanks for posting an archive too!

Let's bring back the Bull Moose party!

Busta nooooo!

It's also worth noting that these monied interests often attack educational systems (Reagan republicans called this tactic "starving the beast") because a poorly educated population is far more easily manipulated compared to one that's been taught how to think and reason critically.

That looks like corrosion to me too. You might be able to clean it off, but it'll probably come back unless you seal the copper or wipe them all off regularly.

Step 1: Make healthcare unaffordable so companies can make lots of extra money.

Step 2: Call people who want to provide basic things like adequate healthcare socialists or communists.

Step 3: ?????

Step 4: ~~Lose the election~~ Profit!!!

I remember there was a badguy/nemesis who was full of packing styrofoam, and you used a pump to vacuum the air out and make him moldable/stretchable.
