  • Why the hell would we need AI summaries of a wikipedia article? The top of the article is explicitly the summary of the rest of the article.

  • No. But much like an erratic hobo with an unfolded knife, I have zero desire to allow them the ability to attack anybody.

  • The Baltics are part of NATO because they didn't want to be part of the failed Soviet Union or the modern Russian Federation. And with Russia invading Ukraine, twice now, it isn't very hard to see why.

    Get fucked Russia.

  • As quoted from The Guardian:

    At least eight states, including Florida and Tennessee, have now introduced ... legislation to prohibit “geo-engineering” or “weather modification”

    So, nothing to do with chemtrails and specifically addresses geo-engineering and weather modification. Cloud seeding is a thing and dispersing particulates to reflect sunlight has also been much discussed. These states simply don't want it happening in their state.


    Also note how not a single quote in AP's article has 'chemtrail' in it. Not a single damn one. The quotes they do have of the legislation specifically refer to things:

    ...affecting the “temperature, weather, climate, or intensity of sunlight.”

  • This morning I walk into the office and she greets me with a “hey!” and huge smile

    Your cute coworker is greeting you with a huge smile. Almost no matter the cause, she is brightened by your presence which is something you should default to being a good thing.

    Go have lunch with her and enjoy your day. Don't stress over stuff you can't change.

  • Golden Dome is a space-based system that intercepts ICBMs in their boost and mid-course phases. It's a global missile defense system with or without the help of other countries.

  • Golden Dome is a space-based missile defense system that intercepts ICBMs in their boost or mid-course flight. Being space-based it works with or without the help of other countries. The inclusion of Canada is primarily to spread out costs as such a system could also intercept missiles going to any country, not just the US.

  • My suggestion: Raspberry Pi (or any other computer) connected via an HDMI port. Use any photo program of your choosing. Many, many available for linux.

    Fucking around with TV OSes is a PITA and is best to just be avoided.

  • It's a few things, but a big one is the framerate jumping around (inconsistent frame time). A consistent 30fps feels better than 30, 50, 30, 60, 45, etc. Many games will have a frame cap feature, which is helpful here. Cap the game off at whatever you can consistently hit in the game that your monitor can display. If you have a 60hz monitor, start with the cap at 60.

    Also, many games add motion blur, AI generated frames, TAA, and other things that really just fuck up everything. You can normally turn those off, but you have to know to go do it.


    If you are on console, good fucking luck. Developers rarely include such options on console releases.

  • You go to an eye doctor, they do the various tests and create a prescription with the necessary details to get you the right glasses. For the next year, you can use that prescription to buy glasses anywhere you want.

  • The ship floating is not the surprising part. It’s the fact seawater was into everything.

    Dip your computer into the sea for a few weeks, it isn’t going to be happy about it.

  • Any code reviewer will tell you code review is harder than writing code. And it gets harder and harder the lower the quality the code is; the more revisions and research the code reviewer needs to do to get the final product to a high quality.

    One must consider how humans will interact with this part of the program (often this throws all kinds of spanners in the works), what happens when data comes in differently than expected, how other parts of the system work with this one, etc, etc, etc. Code that merely achieves the stated goals of a ticket can easily produce a dozen tickets later if not done right.

  • Sometimes it's just to let the various lower courts litigate every angle first, and other times it's because they are waiting for a more perfect case. It's very easy to make bad case law as SCOTUS, so they decline to hear even obvious cases on the regular.

  • It was common during those times to open carry however. It's just that concealed carry is much, much more common now. Quite a bit of that has to do with people's attitudes toward arms. It's much easier to not upset people if they don't know you are carrying.

    And I can tell you from personal experience, even if you are printing, vanishingly few people notice. When I quit my last job, told my manager I had carried every day for the last years. He had never noticed.

  • The AR-15 as well as magazines with more than 10 rounds are both in common use for lawful purposes, making any such blanket ban on either unconstitutional as per Heller.

    That said, the Supreme court declines cases on the regular, which is not a judgement either for or against prior rulings. Though it does mean the prior ruling stands for now.

  • For the money angle, something like a Digital Ocean droplet would be appropriate here. They are $4/mo and you don't even need to run the thing all the time, just when you need an app version approved.

  • You don't need to give them a premier experience, you aren't trying to sell them on the features of your app. It just needs to function.

    Load in those 20 royalty free songs and let the algorithm suck at picking the next of the 20.
