As you’d expect, I got some #LEGO kits for Christmas! The first up is The Globe 21332, 2500pcs and 10”x10”x16”. This is pretty neat, even if nowhere near as detailed as a real globe. Perfect timing since I just finished 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, too!

@d_h_sanders Also, he's easily fooled by the last thing he sees. That's a trait we hate in our President, it's no better in the Senate.

The reasonable opinion on Platner is that he most likely isn't a Nazi and does regret some of his past comments, but has a roiling stew of contradictory political opinions common among people who are too online, making him an ineffective and unreliable Senator.

Found an AI perspective I’d never heard before from a teacher of teens. It’s a bit meandering but your three minutes will be well used.

@Dylan_Peace_ @ItsTinpots @factory_strider Actually found observers swarming around a harvester last night, they ate up all my freedom chair ammo lol

@ItsTinpots @factory_strider Big upside, bring big weapon and make them regret having nothing to be in your way

// OH MY GOD BRUH

@ItsTinpots @factory_strider The little guys are the observers and they come in 12 packs now!

@factory_strider Big downside of only illuminate is that they have no little guys its all big guys and slightly smaller big guys

@Vision4Ohno @factory_strider There's always the leveler and EAT napalm and pineapples and gigagrenades!

@factory_strider AS A REAL DIVER LOOKING AT THIS WAR FOOTAGE.....WE DONT HAVE NOTHING FOR THIS BUT ORBITALS....IF THEY EVEN HIT THE TARGETS

@questionableway I once had to fly from Indianapolis to Chicago because "if you drive you'll be sleepy." Uh, you don't think I have to get up early to go to an airport it could take me 15 minutes or 15 hours to get through?

@questionableway Most likely because my company's travel requirements made me lol

why are you flying from chicago to south bend?

@fardarter @TheStalwart Ah, so you don't take people's discussions about this seriously. No surprise that you don't think other people are serious lol

@rnelson0 @TheStalwart They don’t take them seriously at all. They think that they’re either using 1000x more water than they’re using, or that there’s genuinely no there there

This is the schism of the left right here. By having staked the claim early on, that LLMs are a gimmick or a "stochastic parrot" that can't actually know anything, it's unacceptable, from the perspective of many, to actually take seriously the capabilities of the models.

@FirstProton @wifiejwn38 @oxcrowx Sounds like what I'd expect, I just don't have first hand experience with med school to know. I did go to high school before this paper was published, though!

ill rephrase my response to be, most american children barely get to pre-calc in high school. med schools do not require calculus based physics or chemistry courses as pre-reqs, therefore most programs for biomed sciences and pre-med offer the algebra based versions, which has calculus completely ommitted from their textbooks too. In my opinion this is a disservice, we all obviously know that drug metabolism and practically everything else in the body can be modeled very simply using BASIC calculus.

Once a doctor re-invented integration by trapezoidal rule because she did not learn it in school. She received 75 citations for her novel work. She even named it after herself. lol.

@Skraisia @ARCRaidersGame But even when I do get into fights with raiders, it's not even close to a battle royale. Usually it's someone shooting you in the ass while you're looting lol

@Skraisia @ARCRaidersGame No, I just don't go after raiders but team up with them to take down Arcs, and occasionally a raider shooting at us (I provide support, my reflexes are ass). Even in Stella. Very few idiots go after a 4+ pack of raiders, and fewer survive it.

ARC adapt, so do we 🛠️💥⚡ 31.03.26

@fardarter @TheStalwart Do you mean they don't take them seriously, or they don't believe the hype?

@rnelson0 @TheStalwart I see plenty of people who don’t even take the capabilities seriously because of their politics

The trains name is WHAT??😂😂No way dawg😭😭

@eringriffith Unfortunate timing for their new bus ad 😬

lmfao

@TinfoilProof @JohnReedwrites I assure you they put something in those containers, and often they're on pallets or in barrels. Both of which are containers, btw.

@JohnReedwrites I would challenge the term “containers” in court. In the era of Supercargo, the term container has changed substantially. They’re not shipping pallets and barrels.

"The largest shipping groups, including MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd, have told customers they reserve the right to invoke a 19th-century rule to allow them to leave containers at the nearest available port at their client’s expense." as.ft.com/r/4aef04f9-e9d…

@TotemMacro @slmiheso @JohnReedwrites It was not. Standardized shipping container sizes started occurring then, that's all.

@slmiheso @JohnReedwrites Yeah, I know. The article mentions containers with reference to a centuries old law even though containerization was invented in the 60s.

@MeanderingWonk @JohnReedwrites You read the part where they'll be using a valid legal rule to do this right?

@JohnReedwrites Then that will be the end of these companies as they know it. Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC can rest assured that their customers will sue the pants off then in court.

@mikefreemanNFL Putting the mock cabin in scare quotes reminds me of the video someone did of looking out an airplane window, then he zooms out and he's just holding up a toilet seat lid 😂

John Fetterman's had a 108 pt drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023. His net rating is -40 pt net approval with them. His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.
