Star Trek must have looked a little too DEI, and we all thought we were somehow going to be Immortan Joe…

"I've never felt so alienated from the leaders of my industry, from my politicians, and from my fellow citizens." I'm with you, brother/sister.

My wife worries about surviving the next Great Depression. "Do we have enough cash?", "Should I put off retirement?", etc. I've tried to tell her that we're all going down. Workers will be laid off, markets wil

I'm happy for you, but suspect the "Everything is Fine" meme could have substituted for your comment. The ebbing tide will lower all ships…

> this is like priority number 4 at best for most people… No surprise, they're (we're) humans after all. When the shit hits the fan with The Great Depression II, we'll reset our priorities then.

I never felt that pressure to have kids. In fact, even though I waited until I was in my mid 30's, I was the first in my social circle to have kids (I guess I hung around with younger people?). I knew since I was a kid myself that I

Yeah, TV was around long before I was born. It sucks, always has.

"Featured", ha ha. Should rename to "Paid For by Ads".

Yeah, those moms and pops are ripping us off, living like… well, not like Bezos.

At this point in time… …you've got to figure that Google is just as disgusting as Amazon in the ads/search dept. LLMs seem positively naive in that regard. Just, you know, simply suggesting what their subsumption of the internet s

Confessions of a Data Hoarder I've been slurping parts of the internet that I think are interesting—the parts I would miss if the internet died. So many electronics magazines and books (as PDFs) from worldradiohistory.com. Ditto for ma

You don't miss shoulder-pads? No? (But I'll fight you if you think the 1970's were a worse or even a bad decade.)

I see no reason you couldn't hack an external power supply to run the device. You just need specs on the battery and a bench power supply.

Yeah, that will do it.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask… I have been pulling down local models and just playing with them from time to time. Even though I have hoarder tendencies, is there any reason to keep older Qwen3.5 models around taking up hard drive sp

Is it the replacing workers thing so much or are young people just fucking sick of tech (and Silicon Valley in general) and AI is the latest whipping boy? (Or maybe I'm just projecting.)

Well, more specifically, people don't (always) report (all) tips.

I was told, when growing up, that if they come to your table, take your order, bring your food—you tip. Otherwise, negatory.

I agree the person you are responding to was out of line. But your question, who is taking a credit line at 30%, you could answer for yourself if you had been in that situation before. For example, I might answer it with, "A college st

Regardless, this article is about one of those nearing record levels.

I'm surprised it's that high. While times have changed, the whole idea of the credit card was to purchase a thing you could not otherwise afford to.

Yes, I've been told the U.K. looks like California now.

I've been given a sheet of prices for self-pay in the U.S. and they range from $150 to $350 for the lower doses (the oral versions are $150, the injections $300 and $350). These are not online prices, just local pharmacy prices.

Yeah, I hand-rolled my site. Not even Google analytics. I have absolutely no idea if anyone even visits my site. Oh well.
