Grandma is not the problem. It’s the ~800 billionaires in the US controlling sizable portions of single-family residences through private equity, artificially controlling market prices for maximum profit per sale. Blackstone alone owns 300,000 residences.
Fun Fact: There are 16 million vacant homes nationwide. That’s 28 vacant homes for every unhoused person.

Nah. You don’t want it to rotate, you want to move your hand in a small circle.
You use the wood right before the exposed lead and maintain pressure toward the outside of the spool. The pen clip cap from a Bic or a partially unbent paper clip worked even better than a pencil.

It can if your target demographic has been consistently consuming lead and avoiding therapy for their entire lives.

It shouldn’t be. They want a king.

Absolutely. It’s far more likely with a fork, but deep enough or well placed scratches/gouges on a spoon could create the condition.

That depends on the condition of the nickel plating. Scratched up cheap stainless would probably arc.

We need to grow our numbers! The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.
Erica Chenoweth has a very well researched presentation on the success of non-violent resistance overthrowing dictatorships with only 3.5% of the population. I highly recommend it.
Come out today for the Free America protest! We also have the Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17th.

- Comment on AI will shrink Amazon's workforce in the coming years, CEO Jassy says 2 weeks ago:
Machine learning is a subset of AI, just as large language models are. They’re referring to text input machine learning as generative AI here:
Amazon is using generative AI broadly across its internal operations, including in its fulfillment network where the technology is being deployed to assist with inventory placement, demand forecasting and the efficiency of warehouse robots, Jassy said.
It’s only considered generative based on the user input method of text or speech. If it learned solely from observation, it would be considered machine learning, and if it used algorithms to create the most efficient model of itself, it would be considered deep learning. They’re all forms of AI though.

LLMs are not personnel replacement ready yet. ML is rapidly taking over logistics and manufacturing.

The nation’s workforce. Forbes predicts a 25% reduction in the US job market by 2035, and Republicans included a provision in the budget reconciliation that prohibits any regulations on AI technology for 10 years to ensure that happens.

While Microsoft is primarily a software company, they’ve been making CUPs and AI accelerators for several months now.
Also, by all accounts, Apple Silicon outperforms every other SOC on the market.

Yup. Every time this post comes up I’m reminded that people don’t know the plot very well and are still unaware of their gender bias.

True. It was also an extremely commercialized capitalist dystopian future. I doubt Linux was being used, and there’s no way Microsoft could create something with WALL-E’s long uptime and low maintenance.

They’re still to be followed until ruled unconstitutional by a federal court or overturned by Congress. The Republicans in Congress are complicit, but federal courts have already stopped Trump over 200 times since his term began. archive.is/zZ9zU

Democrats can only talk. They were voted into minority. The only power they have is the filibuster, and that doesn’t work on executive orders or reconciliation bills.
