those are milk duds?

exactly this. I’ve moved around a bit and the only places I’ve had to wait any significant amount of time have been near cities in red states.

really wish we just had universal vote by mail

yes I have indeed shopped at Costco lol

Saw this and immediately thought of Dave the diver LOL

oh yes the standard reply.

Rs actively tearing it down like in Alaska

Ds putting forth a bill to do it but only started by three of them this time around

“both sides are the same!”

yawn

so many good options on here already so I’ll add one that’s a little more of a dedicated game:

Arkham lcg.

you create a deck that represents the character you will play in a series of approximately eight games where you cooperatively work through Lovecraftian mysteries loaded with interesting stories lore and twists.

has almost a tabletop RPG feel to it if it was converted to a card game, absolutely love it.

I love Spirit Island so much.

though usually unless folks are also as into complicated stuff as I am I end up playing horizons of Spirit Island for a simplified experience

my wife and I are joint, just easier that way. what surprises me more is that someone would set up alerts for the low expense levels that would be triggered by Taco bell.

I don’t really understand why folks would do separate it just seems like more trouble for no benefit unless there has been a specific reason or issues to trigger that.

(for example my dad and stepmom had separate accounts after she spent so much one Christmas that I had to pay their rent)

right now not a chance. it’s okay ish at simple scripts. it’s alright as an assistant to get a buggy draft for anything even vaguely complex.

ai doing any actual programming is a long ways off.

Saw this movie when I was like 12 or 13 and even though I used to love horror movies when I was a kid this was legit the scariest shit I had ever seen.

great movie, insane though.

people look at this stuff as a yes or no and that’s a major misunderstanding.

I work in tech, and I can tell you 100% you could not just give a job to AI and call it a day.

I cannot even imagine this type of response generation ever being capable of that without developing some sort of true intelligence if for no other reason than to turn bad prompts by people who do not understand what they want or what is possible into functional projects.

that said, but I do believe is possible is that it makes like 5 to 10% of the job a little bit faster. programming is like 10 to 20% writing code and 80 to 90% understanding what that code should be and why it isn’t working that way yet.

Even the code you get from it is generally wrong but sometimes useful.

best case scenario I could see right now is not that it replaces jobs but that it makes people more effective, kind of like giving a framer a nail gun instead of a box of nails and a hammer except not that big of an efficiency gain.

ultimately this might mean you do the job with 8 people instead of 10, or something like that.

if it reduced the total number of jobs because it was a tool that made people more effective - did it take the job away?

I had no idea there were so many names for this lol.

I always heard it as egg in a nest.

can’t wait for the clip we’re the lawyer says “Your Honor, exhibit A is a video clip of Mr Musk telling advertisers to, and I quote: ‘fuck off’”

SLAY THE SPIRE!

you just blew my mind lol

asparagus is green WTF is going on here

yeah this will work but you basically have to create a fire around the tank while keeping it pressurized right? you have to bring the whole tank to the point where it overwhelms the relief valve.

maybe if it was more full?

the tank didn’t even move when I saw it, just a little flame about 4 inches long for a couple mins.

was super anticlimactic

so I actually had a friend years back who worked at a junkyard.

I was hanging out there with him one time (definitely probably not smoking anything…) and he was still clearing things out.

so he grabs a propane tank and brings it up to where he has an oxyacetylin torch, lights the torch and starts cutting into the tank.

I about shit my pants and took off at least 50 ft back behind a car asking if he was trying to die today.

apparently I was the one that didn’t know what I was talking about though because of a second later he cut through and it just popped a little flame.

he just let that flame burn until it was out and that’s how he knew the tank was empty.

apparently these things are very hard to blow up.

which is just perl mode
