@based_rowing Every job I've had in Germany or Switzerland paid me once a month!

This should have no meaningful impact on your life and if it does then you need to considerably reevaluate your spending habits.

@tetsuo_cpp The LLMs all play Mad Libs when they're idle, but sometimes it breaks containment.

I noticed that GPT models like to invent their own jargon when describing some concept in a codebase. Out of nowhere it’ll drop these super dense wordy terms like “cycle aware pinned buffer remapping” as if I’m supposed to know what that’s referring to.

@KatieMiller Another day, another Y-axis crime.

Federal jobs in the D.C. region are at their lowest level in 30 years.

@TheBabylonBee Hey Bee, I showed this to my teenage daughter, and she wants to watch it, so you have to actually make it now.

@politicalmath To be fair, $39.5 trillion now is probably worth about what $10 trillion was when you started.

When I started this account, I was a deficit hawk and our debt was a measly $10 trillion

@BobGolen Turns out there were two of 'em, but I found 'em both.

@AlphEatsCats @xwanyex How is he implying this?

@3LandObserver @xwanyex He is implying shooting and killing them is okay while retaining deniability when people push back. It’s his favorite tactic.

@simongerman600 Hmmmm, what could it possibly be about the Netherlands and Denmark that leads so many people to cycle there?

How common is cycling across major European cities? My beloved Munich does well within Germany but gets smoked by good old Groningen. Infrastructure matters. Better infrastructure leads to more cycling.

@VigilantFox I would not want to be in Joe Biden's shoes at the Last Judgment.

RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost. "It's a huge, huge tragedy." "One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids." "We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot." "A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves." "So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative." "It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."

@Y2SHAF One of these days we're going to have to stop launching a rocket full of water into the sun with every AI query.

future historians are going to have a nightmare trying to explain why we ran out of drinking water because we needed to cool down the machines generating 4K AI fruit videos

FIDE Laws of Chess: "3.1.3  A piece is considered to attack a square even if this piece is constrained from moving to that square because it would then leave or place the king of its own colour under attack." So according to FIDE the white king is, in fact, in check. rcc.fide.com/fide-laws-of-c…

I found this interesting Despite the black queen threatening the white king White is actually not in check If it is white's move White wins by advancing the pawn and promoting it to a queen or rook

@TN_House_ I prefer line-break-on-Enter, but either way, what's more important to me is that everything say in the UI which one it does.

世の中のチャットツール、 「Enterで送信」なのか 「Enterで改行」なのか そろそろ世界基準を決めてほしい。 絶対、毎日どこかで事故ってる。

@ingelramdecoucy They don't go to church and they've gone no-contact with their families. Of course they're heavily committed to their political group. It's all they have left.

It’s a problem, and has long been a problem, that Socialists are simply better at building physical communities to keep people connected and engaged than Conservatives. It’s easier because they’re by default more “group” oriented, but I do truly believe we need to figure this out

@JSRavencroft @MikeNerdlaw @netflix I tell my kids they missed the Golden Age of Home Movie Watching.

@MikeNerdlaw @netflix The mail-in Netflix was great. You were forced to choose wisely and live with the consequences of your decision. The waiting also added to the experience. In a way, it was better than streaming in the same way camping can be more fun than staying in a resort.

Found this this morning. @netflix do you want me to mail this back?

@BattleByrd This is bizarre, but also brilliant. But also bizarre.

If it's good enough for the roof it's good enough for the shower! Easy money...

@xwanyex We have two sinks in our main bathroom in Germany, and it's nice because you can have a favorite sink.

I hate double sinks. I don’t ever want anybody getting ready at the same time as me.

@pegobry_en How much more money did he get for pretending not to have written it?

@3LandObserver Answer to your first question: a lot of moeny Answer to your second: LOL

Given that Matt Damon is a turbo-lib and Affleck has a trans kiddo, this might be as good a time as any to tell y’all that the story around Good Will Hunting is fake. The scenario for Good Will Hunting was written by notorious Hollywood script doctor William Goldman, who also wrote Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Princess Bride, and All the President's Men. Damon and Affleck were cast to play the part of the penniless screenwriters who made it in Hollywood by none other than Miramax’s Harvey Weinstein. Good Will Hunting fit right into Miramax’s ‘90s recipe of making movies with broad audience appeal but enough veneer of intellectualism to win oscars (with vigorous campaigning). One of the most striking aspects of the entire Weinstein fracas is that Damon and Affleck were never asked, not once, not even when they went on Rogan, what they knew when about Weinstein allegedly preying on movie starlets. Affleck and Damon are ultra-wealthy and ultra-respected even though their entire career is built on a lie orchestrated by the most infamous conman and sex criminal in Hollywood history.

@WhiteCurb @pegobry_en Did he get a bigger paycheck from writing the script and pretending not to than he would have from his name being on it? And was it worth it for his career not having his name on that script?

@3LandObserver @pegobry_en He stood to gain a fat paycheck.

@Kyle_Beckley You could 3D-print 'em.

Looking for gift ideas for a first birthday. Cousin, don't read this. I want you to be surprised when I finally locate Lawn Darts thanks to mutuals.
