Trump is just nominating people he can remember or saw on TV at this point, isn’t he?

The only evidence of the “grand gay conspiracy” people keep talking about is the existence of bath-tub (multi-user) urinals.

Hallmark boss: “So a anti-Trump women comes back home for Christmas, and meets a Pro-Trump man. Something something, they fall in love and the woman falls in love and forgets her hatred. I - I mean we - just need to fill in that middle step. Please, figure out what that middle step is! My wife left me and I don’t know how to cook!”

No, we had a plan TO DEAL WITH COVID. Your boss threw it in the trash and millions died.

Except there’s not enough demand for that many license plates so they’ll switch to literally selling their labor

The college I work at use to have prison labor. Then the roads department ran out of people willing to have streets, so we lost them to road paving. With 3% unemployment, there is incredible demand for prison labor. And this is under Biden, though I don’t expect 3% to hold long after Trump gets in.

Biden just finalized the Arizona TSMC plant.

If that gets invaded, I think semiconductors are the least of our problems.

Another fun fact is Trump’s wife was as well.

No, it turned her blue.

What about Ai Vtubers?

The military has a uniform code of justice they have to follow. Police have qualified immunity, but still sometimes get arrested. Prison riot control have no regulations on behavior or identification. Look for that group to become the main go to for anything that ‘needs taking care of’.

The hype should go the other way. Instead of bigger and bigger models that do more and more - have smaller models that are just as effective. Get them onto personal computers; get them onto phones; get them onto Arduino minis that cost $20 - and then have those models be as good as the big LLMs and Image gen programs.

Seek out the competitors to near monopolies? I heard somewhere that all glasses are built and sold by one company (that then sells them to a bunch of different companies so it looks like there is competition), and they can charge incredible markups. There probably are very small companies that make and sell glasses that don’t have the economies of scale or ad budgets to get the word out. If enough people bought from them, the monopoly would have to lower prices to their “kill competitors” level to steal back the market-share (or just buyout the little guy). Once dead or absorbed, they can go back to incredible mark-ups, which means we can start the cycle over again and find a new little guy to support.

That or support the maker movements so that anything we need we can just make ourselves (3D printing, bio-hacking, hydroponics and seed banks, general lathe and mill loner libraries, open source software, etc…)

What if the generator was inside the front of the car - and only turned on when the battery was low? Wait, I’ve just re-invented the hybrid.

Wasn’t the main thing people were upset with was that the judicial overhaul made it so that the courts COULDN’T overturn laws?

Nothing worse then a self-hating identical twin.

Democrats still don’t know who they will be running against - since the polling needed to determine that are not “likely Iowa caucus goers” but “likely Trump jurors”. We don’t want to be like the Republicans in 2008 who were completely prepared to take on and tear down a Hilary Clinton nominee, only to find themselves fighting Obama.

It isn’t zero privacy, it is unilateral lack of privacy. If we knew as much as about them as they did us, it would … better (not ok, but better). But their are people that know things, but we don’t know those things about them.

Llamafile can be run from a normal computer without a gpu. It can look at a folder full of pictures and rename them based on what the picture looks like:

Ah, I was using Gaza city, not Gaza strip. And Iraq added 20 million people since the invasion? Wow, thought it would be less.

Civilian deaths from the Iraq invasion: 220,000 out of 45.5 million = 0.5%

Civilian deaths from the Gaza invasion: 30,000 out of 778,000 = 3.8%

Iraq invasion: 9 years. Gaza invasion: 3 months.

Civilian deaths from Russian bombing of Ukraine: ~10,000 over 2 years.
