Heard a podcast about this one. Maybe Snap Judgement? Didn’t he consciously “look the other way” and was caught allowing beer on his plane before?

Not that I agree with seizing the guy’s plane, and therefore his livelihood, but let’s let all of the facts speak for themselves.

I will never understand a certain counter culture’s attraction to American Spirit cigarettes. I roomed with the owner’s son back in university. The company is owned by frat douches. The son and I once got into a fight over the placement of a guest mattress (for his friend) and he tried to break my jaw. Serious anger issues there.

Yea, but when’s the last time you caught beans hanging out with Prussian Blue?

I woke this morning to thinking of socialism. The wind in the US is shifting. Not just the left either. Working class people are fed up of barely getting by. The last time this happened at scale was the 70s, Cities around the country built tall buildings to house folks, many of which were poorly maintained and turned to cesspools (but not all) and eventually were torn down. I hope we learn from the mistakes of the past - not only build massive buildings, but the infrastructure to support them too. People need green spaces…and not just roads and parking lots.

I’m optimistic that we will get closer to a success this time. It’s a shame other western countries get to have nice things while we have to work 3 jobs to cover the rent.

How do I plan to prepare? Inform, advocate, encourage. Vote.

Reference to a zombie movie.

I was in Miramar a few months back. Some of the larger condo complexes definitely had signs up saying most of the beach was private, it was only a sliver right by the waves that was public access.

Coral Gables too, there were swathes gated off to private residences. Not sure if it was legal or not, but sure seemed to be accepted.

You have that problem too, huh?

Mmm I wonder what those burgers taste like.

Yep, sure enough have seen this before. Way back before cell phones existed, this is what we had to do to put a phone on vibrate.

Usually ya had to call a 1-900 number to ring it.

We have the second one already, we just call it lobbying.

But you can sleep soundly knowing that your taxes are $0.50 less more this year.

There was an interesting podcast recently from freakonomics about Epic software and how it’s always been private. It reinforced my perception that companies do better for humanity when they stay private.

Most C corps have the same tragedy of the masses problem that we face with pollution and resource scarcity. Not to mention that the average anything is mediocre. So, in a word, yes.

I really hope that some of these big players in the AI market will stay private. There are already enough headwinds to them being a force of good in the world without having to report to shareholders of the lowest denominator.

As a lefty this is ludicrously unfair! I mean who the hell carries loose change anymore!?

This weighs heavily upon me.

Yea I’m sitting here thinking I’d love for my kid to go all Kevin Mccallister on this and just watch how excited they’d be.

Tiny home that I’m moving into in two weeks. And then a larger home that I plan on moving into at the end of the year if i can ever get my contractor to fix the mess his “buddy” made on the last roof repair.

And then, in addition to those two, just myself.

Well, don’t leave us hanging here. Are you gonna put another one on or what?

Don’t yuck someone else’s yum.

So…you are concerned that you used a calculator instead of doing math in your head?

Did you know how to do that math before hand?

I think the biggest risk to using AI is that people don’t first learn how to do something before using tools to do the thing. In other words, our 7th grade teachers were right. You should understand the principles before accessing the short cuts.

Lazy request warrants a lazy response. LMAITFY:

About 1.2 to 1.4M active users across the fediverse, with Mastodon making up the bulk at around 990k MAU on its own. Other platforms are much smaller: Pixelfed ~110k, Lemmy ~48k, PeerTube ~40k, Misskey ~21k.

Since these instances are defederated, it’s an approximation.
