Bet you haven't seen The Way of the Gun.

Go in raw like I did. It's a unique movie.

What's Justified?! You have it listed with august company.

The physical world is too fast, relies on the speed of human brains calculating a million variables instantly, not mere pattern matching. See how hard it is to teach a robot to catch a ball. You have to input all the physics where a human doesn't even consciously think on the problem.

We humans are best-in-class at pattern matching, but we often get it wrong and AI amplifies those mistakes.

AI can be great at certain tasks, but we have to be cognizant of how that works.

Fuck me. As a white dude I have to specify "Thai hot please". They act like they're gonna get sued.

Dropped by my fav Asian place in Tulsa one afternoon. "Can you make the Happy Family hot? It was really sweet last time. Hot? Really hot? Like, triple hot?" holding up 3 fingers>

unintelligible Asian from the kitchen>, "LOL! HOT! HOT!">

Oh god. They're going to punish the white guy.

Cook himself, who I had never seen, brings my plate. Motherfucker stands back a few steps to watch me devour.

unintelligible Asian from the kitchen>, "LOL! HOT! HOT!">

Cook comes back out, "Is the meal appropriate?"

Pouring sweat, hair standing on end, "Yes! Very good! VERY good! Thank you! PERFECT! THANK YOU!"

He takes a bow and returns to the kitchen.

unintelligible Asian from the kitchen>, "LOL! HOT! HOT!"

I still remember that fine meal from 30-years ago. God speed you crazy Asian cooks!

Only mammals have capsaicin receptors. Birds be like: "Whatever. Tastes like fruit. May shit seeds everywhere. IDK. Maybe delete later."

"Some of these cats forgot what work IS!"

I start sweating, it's dripping off my ears.

Laughing my ass off at this point!

Went out with my architect buddy, Buffalo Wild Wings! Ordered the hottest and second hottest, crying with joy.

He was visibly appalled. "Why would anyone do that to themselves?!"

High as fuck the rest on the night. Love.

Nah. Fox News is (usually) more subtle than that. They simply stop talking about fails. And that's all it takes. Just stop talking about the fail and talk about something else. Why bother lying when you can STFU and get the same or better results?

To learn anything about American politics you need a county level map.

Pretty sure my .22s have a larger bore, and I have a shitload.

Funny story:

Black dude runs up in the local redneck bar and starts waving a BB pistol around. "You're money and your jewelry!", kinda talk. People were like, whatever dude, that's a BB gun. "I'm fucking serious!" One the guys playing pool walked up behind him and clocked him over the skull with the blunt end of a pool stick. Fin.

Yeah. 2.

Hard to pick a favorite out of 42 books, but Night Watch is easily the finest.

I was gonna say, the plain girls blossomed after high school and the popular girls got fat.

LOL at Spock trying not to laugh! I have no memory of that episode.

JFC, that was me trying to learn MTG. I'm leaving the table!

“All of these other beautiful drag queens had worked for months and weeks getting their clothes and all that, and they were dressed like me,” Parton explained in a 2012 interview. “So, I just got in the line and I just walked across [the stage] and they just thought I was some little, short gay guy. And I got the least applause, but I was just dying laughing inside. I say it’s a good thing I was a girl or I’d be a drag queen.”

Edge is a fine browser. I use it when Firefox isn't working for a particular reason.

In any case, it's powered with electricity.

I had ONE job. :(

All true, but my point was that he's hardly been isolated in North Korea. He knows there's an outside world, and to your point, knows how rich it can be.
