IIRC George Jetson was canonically born in 2022.

So… we ARE living in the Jetsons timeline… you and I were just born in the Jetsons slums.

It still bugs me how our vocabulary just immediately goes out the window to market this shit.

• NOTHING is powered by AI. And unless some poor fucker’s cranking away on a standing bicycle turbine or something, it’s not powered by humans either. It’s powered by whatever’s giving their grid power - solar, wind, nuclear, dinosaur juice, that shit.

• Humans grouped up for the purpose of taking and processing client requests isn’t a fucking ‘chat bot’, it’s a call center. This concept isn’t new or novel in any way.

• Even “AI” itself has become synonymous with ‘computer generated’. Intelligence that’s artificial still only exists in science fiction/fantasy. We’ve been misusing this term well before shit like LLMs existed - calling shit like NPC pathing in a videogame “AI” which is also stupid… but lately we’ll slap an “AI” sticker on anything with an algorithm. We even moved the goal posts on this one with the new term “AGI” but I guarantee that one will be marketed into meaninglessness in the near future too.

This post is powered by my phone’s battery and last night’s dinner.

That really ought to change on both sides of the equation.

xFire, please.

I mean, fucking with a PDF isn’t exactly arcane knowledge, even after it’s been signed. It’s just cumbersome and tedious and requires counterintuitive actions like pressing Ctrl+P instead of Ctrl+S.

If their purpose is to be secure, they’re shit at their job.

Sounds like screen readers need some improvement.

Open Office? Libre Office?

Critical temperature = user friendly. TIL.

Open Office? Libre Office?

Chipmunks, 5 year olds, salt/pepper shakers, and paint thinner, also all make terrible doctors.

Follow me for more studies on ‘shit you already know because it’s self-evident immediately upon observation’.

Anyone remember xFire? It was better 15 years ago than Discord ever was or will be.

…damn I miss that shit. They were litigated out of existence by a frivolous lawsuit from Yahoo. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Tech muggle here.

Could we just get rid of PDFs and switch to word docs and spread sheets instead? I know this will likely cause a slurry of consequences, especially in professional circles, but have you considered: fuck it.?

K thx bye.

I’d be worried about purines. A diet of pure steak would likely lead to an insane case of gout, which is a buildup of uric acid crystals in your joints… which ranks pretty high on the list of excruciatingly painful things you can be diagnosed with.

Monster’s not terrible if you buy it in bulk. You can get it for around a dollar per can from places like Costco.

Redbull idk - that stuff tastes like ass imo, so l never paid much attention to price. …for the record, most Monster tastes like shit too, but there’s a few gems in the Ultra line.

Just containing some chemical doesn’t mean it will have same effect as it does in a different product.

Chocolate, milk, butter, cheese, and papayas are each a chemically distinct environment, so what this acid does to chocolate may be mitigated or completely offset by the chemical makeup of those other environments.

A more appropriate comparison to chocolate with butyric would be to chocolate without it, and between those two, the difference is a subtle acrid flavor reminiscent of vomit. If you don’t personally pick up on that flavor, you should count yourself as lucky - once you notice it, it really does ruin the experience.

Feeling the heat comes from your capsaicin receptors, which are fortunately distinct from taste. It’s more of a pain receptor.

…I’m actually quite thankful my anus doesn’t have taste buds.

Any favorite recipes?

Well, no one could have seen that coming. Maybe we should try a restraining order to keep ICE a minimum distance from the civilians they would otherwise murder. It’s foolproof!!

…yea there’s no way I can accept that’s in good faith. I’ll leave you with: ‘gestures broadly at the last decade’

If you want to argue that he is somehow benefiting the US at the rest of the world’s expense, then go ahead and knock yourself out, but the frequency at which he damages our country speaks for itself.
