Would absolutely not care about Trump. Would absolutely care about the incensed conservative mob with minimal brain cells, rage and guns starting shit

A lot are still doing that and haven't moved up

(Please at least use SFTP!)

I'll be fine, go ahead and take your time ☺️

ADHD executive dysfunction be like, until the deadline is looming

Ok protein spooder

Boy trickle down economics sure is looking GREAT, huh?? Share holder success is better than ever, now if we could just do a thing about those pesky peasants... They better not go after poverty assistance or work benefits, that comes out of our taxes, can't have our portfolio drop a fraction of a percent, can we?? Yep we'll just exploit the masses until there's nothing left and then... Uh...

Better keep that handy for your big dick energy after you showed Gen A who's boss 🙄

At least we put them on pretty 3D animated carbonated beverage advertisements for Christmastime for a while, that must've felt really nice until you consider that humans are exploiting your cute and cuddly experience to increase shareholder revenue due to sales of an unnecessarily sugared beverage made with tropical fruit seeds

I threw this at ChatGPT, it was entertaining.

Q: If you had a chessboard with dimensions comparable to the standard world chess tournament boards, and placed a grain of rice on a square, and then moved to the next square and doubled the amount of rice on that square that you used in the previous one, and kept doing this pattern of picking a square and placing twice as many grains as you did on the last one, approximately how many squares could you fill before the rice starts to overflow into other spaces?

A: Let's analyze the problem step-by-step to determine how many squares can be filled before the rice starts to overflow.

1. Understanding the problem: You start with 1 grain of rice on the first square of a chessboard. On each subsequent square, you double the number of grains of rice from the previous square. This means the number of grains on the n -th square is 2^{n-1} .
2. Capacity and overflow: We need to find the point at which the total amount of rice becomes excessively large, potentially exceeding the board's capacity. This problem is fundamentally a geometric progression and exponential growth problem.
3. Chessboard specifics: A standard chessboard has 64 squares.
4. Exponential growth: Let's calculate the number of grains of rice on a few key squares to understand the rapid growth:
   • 1st square: 2^0 = 1 grain
   • 2nd square: 2^1 = 2 grains
   • 3rd square: 2^2 = 4 grains
   • 4th square: 2^3 = 8 grains
   • 5th square: 2^4 = 16 grains
   • ...
   • 10th square: 2^9 = 512 grains
   • 20th square: 2^{19} = 524,288 grains
   • 30th square: 2^{29} = 536,870,912 grains
   • 40th square: 2^{39} = 549,755,813,888 grains
   • 50th square: 2^{49} = 562,949,953,421,312 grains
   • 60th square: 2^{59} = 576,460,752,303,423,488 grains
5. Total grains on the board: The total number of grains of rice after filling all 64 squares is the sum of the geometric series: S = 2^{0 + 2}1 + 2^{2 + \ldots + 2}{63} The sum of this series can be calculated as: S = 2^{{64} - 1 \] This is a massive number: \[ 2}{64} - 1 \approx 18.45 \times 10^{18} \text{ grains}
6. Practical limitations: In reality, the amount of rice that can fit on a square or even within the confines of a board or room will quickly become unrealistic after a relatively small number of squares. For example:
   • The number of grains of rice fitting on a square inch might be around 1,000 grains.
   • If each grain is about 0.01 cubic inch, a cubic foot would hold approximately 12,000 grains.

Given the calculations above, the exact square where the rice starts to overflow would depend heavily on the physical capacity of the square, which we've assumed to be quite large in this hypothetical.

7. Conclusion: Practically speaking, the rice would start to overflow the physical space far earlier than the 64th square. Assuming a generous physical capacity of a few thousand grains per square:
   • By around the 20th to 30th square, the exponential growth would likely have already led to a number of grains that exceed typical containment capabilities.

Therefore, if we were to realistically consider overflow within a standard physical context, you might see overflow happening anywhere from the 20th to 30th squares, given the doubling nature of the sequence.

Hah, I have one that likes to just float in front of my shed for some bizarre reason, I always try to avoid it for concern that it could sting but knowing this I may just ignore it now lol, ty

Maybe we should blow up Earth first, show it who's boss

Dude we literally have that unix_surrealism comic there's at least some love for BSDs here

There's a lot of us neurodivergent folks in tech because it suits our needs better than a lot of other fields, and a lot of us just love technology

We're more prone to being LGBTQIA+ than neurotypical folks, scientifically documented

Makes sense tech would have more trans folks as a result, we pad the numbers a lil bit

This is of course a generalization and actual ND/LGBTQIA+ presence is going to vary based on job, location, how insufferable management is, etc, and not all NDs are LGBTQIA+ and vice versa.

Investors are such emotionally led beings

If it wasn't for those rascally penguins I would be flat broke trying to afford the latest system requirements for Windows 12 or a mediocre MacBook instead of a $120 5 year old Dell Latitude, how dare they!!

They thrive if you don't use pesticides and leaf blowers. I have fireflies where I live in CT. Bonus points for letting the grass grow, though that may also attract rodents and look unsightly to the neighbors.

I know what you're getting at and this isn't directed at you and I know this is why it's done, but the capabilities of the phone don't have any bearing on the use of the AI so why gatekeep it? It's a dumb way to make a profit.
