Leaving NATO is part of Peter Thiel’s technofeudalist checklist. They want our overseas bases closed to end our status as a superpower, to hasten the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. And they want the money held by other nations be be transferred to the 1%.

I did a brief stint there in the 00’s after a photo of me ended up on Cliff Yablonski Hates You.

Bears who go bed shopping are excellent cooks. Was that not the lesson of the story?

There’s a missed opportunity for a dad joke in the first panel.

“I’m depressed”
“Hi Depressed, I’m Freud”

You’re just getting stuck because you don’t have an IQ of 420, like the quiz said I have after watching some ads and giving them my SSN.

We just need to update them for the modern times. For save the icon would be a storage datacenter. For dialer it would be an nsa data center. For browser it would be a google ai data center.

3.6. Not great, not terrible.

That’s not to avoid cutting pepperoni. There was no reason to shape the 2 pieces at the top like that… other than being a pizza sadist.

My hope is that I can use custom sentences to send values to a script or service that, in-turn, will trigger an appdaemon app where I can do all the work in python. I’m not sure about returning the calculated value as a response though.

That’s how I built my harmony hub replacement.

The phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is in order of most-to-least good for the environment.

Nope, gotta be lit. But it’s worth it, trust me.

It being dumb was a selling point. I’ve wanted to dump it for ages but my wife used it (mainly for timers and unit conversions) somewhat frequently. But as someone who spends most of her day dealing with problems caused by LLM slop, she refuses to ever use them herself.

I also promised I’d do my best to get Home Assistant Voice set up so it can do math and unit conversions (sans Truthiness engine).

I convinced my wife this was coming a few months ago and its what finally convinced her we needed to drop Prime and Alexa.

I heard there was a site only for fans of hamsters.

So far on my work computer I’ve had a policy to indiscriminately uninstall anything that says copilot. If I hadn’t seen this post I may have nuked it, then spent the afternoon trying to figure out where excel went.

Yes, about everything awful.

But also oil extraction prices are between $15 and $70 per barrel depending on the conditions of the oil fields.
