Hahaha it’s learning from the Epstein files!

I 100% believe this. How else is Trump gonna scrub gigabytes of data in 30 days without employing an army of editors (and potential blabbermouths)? They’re gonna make grok do it! The article even mentions a new, secret DOJ grok deal.

Gangnam Style, obviously

In our guest house, whenever the laundry machine ran, half the lights would go out. It was due to the drain hose having a small leak. The water seeped down and shorted an outlet in the crawl space. So I had to:

• fix the drain hose
• replace the main water disconnect valve that randomly wore out and got stuck in the off position (learn about pex, buy and use a crimper tool)
• replace some rotten wood
• replace shorted outlet with GCFI
• replace crawl space skirting I broke when investigating

Ah, good times. But now it’s all fixed. For now.

Just cut out the middleman and order the Mountain Dew Code Red for me already

You might be interested in a video game called The Last Sovereign. I discovered it during the recent fiasco around payment processors trying to block lewd stuff, but the nsfw visuals can be turned off if you’re not into that. It’s a very serviceable RPG with turn based combat that is well balanced and engaging. But I’m recommending it because you said philosophy and it’s basically a series of Platonic dialogues between characters discussing life, the nature of man, morality, ethics, sexuality, power, and much more. I’m pleasantly surprised at how often I find myself deeply invested in the conversations. I think the writer(s) must’ve needed an outlet for their philosophical musings and chose this quirky “lewd” RPG as the medium.

Neat!

While getting into an arms race with school shooters is kind of a ridiculous path, I do wish we would take this opportunity to develop personal force field/shield technology like they have in Dune.

Man, OP is some kinda non-sequitur savant. You were more than fair in your attempts to engage with his disjointed and ephemeral “arguments”

I have this running on a local server: https://github.com/alexta69/metube

It’s a frontend for yt-dlp and whenever I want to watch something I just download it and have a copy saved locally. It makes it harder to binge youtube feeds that the algorithm tries to shove down my throat, and that’s a good thing.

Next up, zeros and/or ones

I almost kinda involuntarily cheated and almost got flunked out of college. Comp sci major, forced to do a partner programming assignment. Met up with the dude and banged out like 75% of the project in the first meeting. After that, he kept dodging and rescheduling and giving excuses yadda yadda why he couldn’t meet up. Finally, just before the deadline, he says he’ll finish and submit it. I reluctantly agree (mostly because I was over a barrel at this point). The dumbass submitted his buddy’s version from the previous semester and it got flagged as a 99% match. We both had to face an academic dishonesty committee and plea our cases. Thankfully he fessed up (and I showed chat transcripts and screen shots) and he got an F in the class and a suspension of some kind. I think the prof actually kinda took pity on me because I was supposed to get a zero on the assignment, but I was a pretty crappy student anyway and that would’ve tanked my whole grade, so I think she just averaged my grades or something and I got a C+ overall.

Embed a tracking pixel in it!

Haha, kidding of course. This is cool!

Omg last night at pool league. 9-ball playoffs. I, possibly the best player on our team, called a timeout to “help” the worst player on our team, and gave solid advice on what shot to take, but failed to understand her skill level and failed to give additional helpful details (like how hard to hit it). She missed the shot and set up her opponent for an easy win and we ultimately lost the tournament by one point. Sigh. Big ole goof and totally my fault.

Steam Deck helps a lot. Kid wants to watch some awful Paw Patrol or whatever before bed? Sure, I can sit down and spend 20 minutes failing to make progress on The Binding of Isaac.

You realize the amount of water is constant, right?

Yeesh let me know if you find a good answer. My <5 y.o. offspring found an old apple phone in a desk drawer and is begging me to charge it up, calling it “MY phone!” and in general causing me to worry about issues I wanted to avoid for a lot longer. Dreading the next 10 years of this battle.

There’s also a trough of coffee! Mmmm troughee.
