We live in a very rural, incredibly safe area. You can always tell when someone else gets hooked on meth. Their place goes to shit, step 1. Their kids get dirty, step 2. You start to see things like car batteries or tools disappear from nea

I'm assuming that standing charges are like meter fees here. I've paid as low as $0.25/day and as high as $1.25/day depending on where I lived. There's not much uniformity.

Like all things, there's a balance between spending everything now and planning for the future. I always tell my kids that they won't inherit much cash, but they're having a great time with all of the vacations and fun equipm

That is actually what I'm firmly convinced is the most dangerous thing about llm's. No matter what you put, it will always agree with you, and what's worse, it will try to make you think that you're unbelievably smart fo

FERPA, COPPA, and whatever your particular state has. Just Google it.

Tell your school board to use a dedicated messaging platform built for schools. Cite privacy laws. That's what I did, and it worked. Unless you're talking about parent groups. Because then you're fucked. Every parent group ev

It's not just security theater. It shifts the attack vector entirely. Instead of airplanes as weapons that could be used to kill thousands, terrorists can blow up a few hundred people. Those checkpoints are only there to provide a soft

That's not really an answer to my question though.

Okay then. What does the infrastructure around launching a nuclear weapon look like?

I mean, cooking with beef tallow is better though. It makes everything taste awesome.

Pandora still exists and is quite good.

There have been free alternatives for years. People still pay accountants to do their very basic taxes and pay $200 for twenty minutes worth of work. Why? For the same reason paid software exists in this space - knowing you have someone els

Civil disobedience and non-violent (towards people) destruction of invasive technology is the only outlet left for most people, I would argue. The money and power is so incredibly lopsided that 'traditional' routes of impacting Ci

Other than game of thrones, I can't hear any relatively new show themes in my head. But shows like newhart, wkrp, mash and the like I still know.

Maybe there would be fewer bears? I honestly don't see the connection either, though.

Oh hey here's a terrifying robot. Let's give it GIANT FUCKING CHAINSAW HANDS.

At colleges that I've worked at it really seems to depend on intent. If you fuck up the network trying to increase your own speeds, warning. If you maliciously try to access protected information, cops.

We had a shared office at one point with three of us with desks. One guy was absolutely ANAL about nobody touching his stuff or approaching him unannounced. So we taped off the area around his desk and started calling him Les. He was like 2

I took a job with the state I live in recently because friends were promoted over competent employees (not even counting myself in that because they were just promoted to my level). New job is fully remote and has a clear path to advancemen

Why do you use anti malware on your computer or take vaccinations? Because safety, that's why.

Manual labor jobs require certifications in today's world as well. It's a shit show everywhere.

We had chimney swifts growing up. They were bastards who built nests that would just absolutely clog the chimney. But it was neat to watch them circle and drop into the chimney by the dozens right before dark. One of my best memories is my

The fuck would I keep working for if I get fired? Give me my severance if it exists and let me go home that day to start looking for another job. Don't waste my time for 2 weeks to make sure your business doesn't experience any hi

I have an old puppet of animal from the Muppets. He's wearing a skateboard shop shirt and has a little skateboard. Just the sort of thing you could picture sitting in a window in the late 70's. My oldest was FUCKING TERRIFIED of t

My son and I are about to tear into a 1987 Wrangler. This is going to be very helpful when we're undoing 40 years of modifications on this thing.

LLM designed webpages are fine. But they're just that. Fine. They're bland and average. Almost like they are designed by a system inherently selecting the average over time. I like people made pages better because there's gen

That means 18 year olds will get splattered. I'm not for that. The kids who die in the military are just kids, regardless of their job. They aren't personally responsible for the shit orders they get. The problem is that anything
