  • There was 5 people in my mid-sized high school with my same first and last name. LOL, most popular thing I ever wrote in the school paper was an article about it.

    The middle initials? A, B, C, D, F.

    One time a teacher reported $name to the dean's office and we all 5 were sitting in a row. "You do it?" "Nope." They had to let us off.

    There are shitloads of people my exact age with the same first name because of a song that come out when were we gestating.

    WOW! Not only my name, but my wife's name spiked the year we were born!

  • Y'all just don't get Trump, even after all these years? To his mind, there was no failure. The parade was a wild success. He literally cannot think anything differently. That's NPD for ya.

    OTOH, he can notice that there wasn't enough praise and admiration. That is what is eating his skull.

  • There are engineers, smarter than both of us combined, that worked on these weapons. These are problems smart men have worked on for decades.

    Given the expense, and rare usage, we only had a few dozen. How would you test such weapons? And this is key, without the intelligence of their effectiveness getting out. People are going to notice when you blow up fucking mountains.

    In any case, we'll gain some solid intelligence from this mission. Not that I supported it, quite the contrary, but we'll learn a thing or three.

    You are not smart for making fun of this thing. But if it makes you feel better?

  • It's too damned useful. About every day I check Gemini and ChatGPT for a word or phrase I can't remember, input some crap and out pops what I was looking for. I use if for a chunk of code I can't get my head around. It's the next Google and everyone wants a piece.

    OTOH, I do see a sharp downturn in investment as things shake out. Like to dot.com bubble, there will be winners and losers, but you're spot on. Investors aren't spazzing out on every single opportunity. Still, gonna be some losers.

    We can talk about the dangers of AI all night long, but it's here to stay.

  • I know they're just actors, but have they not seen anyone shoot any sort of long gun?! OTOH, I've taught a few women to shoot and they initially hold a rifle exactly like that. I didn't get into shooting until I was 50, but the stance shown seems wildly unintuitive.
