  Neat, I will be saving this and reading it when I’m less busy… maybe I’ll get back to you on it.

  There is a time and place where AI can be useful… but the way it is used today is pointless and wasteful.

  Ideally, she can dunk on how shit it is now, but also talk about the super high-tech ways we can hope to see it implemented in the near future.

  I had no idea what you meant by ISAIP and people kept repeating it in their replies.

  It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia

  Folks. The acronym.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is water an acid or a base?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I once brought up in a family dinner how incredible and strange water is, and how we don’t really think about it.

  It appears naturally in all three phases, expands when frozen, has a high surface tension, has a high specific heat, and can behave as a mild base or acid. Oh, and all the living stuff has water in it.

  Nobody really understood what I meant except my sister.

  Kind of? Milkis has this nice yogurty tartness that I don’t think sparkling water and milk powder can give you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An oldie but a goodie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was buying lubricants and flux for putting together keyboards and other soldering projects.

  My dad was like “look, I don’t know what drugs look like these days but it definitely looks weird when you’re getting multiple shipments of vials and syringes.”

  And, honestly, I don’t blame him. It looked pretty sus.

  And yet we have plenty of humans who are jorkin it to poorly made, uncanny AI porn. So… I don’t know anymore.

  Hypothetically, if all of his muscles were at the absolute minimum viable volume and density and he had an absurd body fat ratio, how different would he look?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hello fellow 5’11 3/4-er. I gave up on it a while ago. At least even the thinnest shoes put me over 6’0.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infinite Monkey Theorem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell, if you have infinite time and infinite typewriters, you don’t even need the monkeys. You could probably depend on hail pressing those keys, the argument still stands. As long as there are inputs, ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infinite Monkey Theorem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think too many people don’t consider the monkey is not supposed to be making decisions, it’s just supposed to be inputting anything, literally anything, on a typewriter.

  Like a random value generator, for typewriter keys.

  Hopefully it has nothing to do with their chip supply chain… I do loved that smoked cheddar chip…

  … you’re using the drive-in’s gravel and space… from the neighbor’s yard?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The staedtler 925 is great. I think you might prefer the graphgear 500 over the 1000 though, as the rubber nubs on the 1000 are more annoying than plain knurled metal, imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can’t go wrong with 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3's grip looks the most comfy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)

  I’m late to the party, but I just wanted to point out that your username followed by your argument gave me a good chuckle.

  OBJECTION!!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking hell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So do you mean to suggest “quatre-vingt-dix” just means 90 and doesn’t also mean “four-twenty-ten”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t fewer the better choice in formal English because years are a countable plural noun?

  Criticizes late-term abortions

  Reacts viscerally to things that are real and legitimate reasons for late-term abortions

  “I can’t believe you’ve said that, OMG, so gross, blocked”

  Clearly, they have no capacity for thinking critically, or they are farming responses. Don’t waste your time.

  And MaXimus, if you really think those scenarios are horrible, then imagine how the parents feel about the opportunity of not allowing a child to suffer in those horrible ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have something like 4k hours in Warframe.

  However, many of those hours come from being a broke teenager and wanting to sell stuff for platinum (premium currency). Any time I was home, the game was running, and I had listings up on warframe.market. Most of those hours were just me doing homework and waiting for the chat message noise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you like Jak, you’ll have a blast with Ratchet and Clank. Lots of good ol action platforming.

  Klonoa 2 and Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom might also be worth looking into. I specifically remember finding tons of shortcuts in SBBB that were probably unintended, but that game also got a remaster in the last few years.

  I wonder if we would feel the sudden disappearance of the centripetal force of gravity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would maybe suggest modding your defence to a high level, unlocking defence perks, and spamming Q. The combat certainly becomes more manageable as you level up, unless you’re simply fighting a group of people by yourself. Then it never gets easier.

  I know the video you are referencing - I think it’s this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about this, but only because Steam has a very unique position in their market. Lots of intense loyalists for Steam means long-term projects yield hype and reputation.

  For example, the Steam Deck was a high cost high impact long-term project, and it wasn’t even in the interest of leading the handheld gaming market. It still brought them a lot of good press, and it also spearheaded the adoption of handheld gaming PCs - whether running SteamOS, Windows, or other linux distros - most of which are using Steam as the primary gaming library.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They just know that line going up steadily is more valuable than line going up exponentially until people get sick of your shit.

  If you like to pay more for the exact same amount and quality of goods, then I believe I have a bridge to sell you.
