… Skin Unit. Gross!

I had this exact realization as a teenager while undescribably stoned and haven’t been able to watch shows like this since.

This is why I’m here.

I mean on earth in general.

That would be bangin if topped with adzuki beans in a strawberry glaze.

Good, we need something to pound those nails.

Even science majors and grads don’t always get it at first.

I taught students and trained junior researchers during and after grad school. When I’d catch lab assistants doing lopsided centrifuge loads, especially in the big floor-standing centrifuges (I even caught one genius sitting on it to dampen the vibration), we’d take a trip to the physics department for a quick lecture on the amount of energy contained in their spinning samples compared to the amount of energy required for a plastic centrifuge tube to fracture and penetrate a human skull.

Gosling’s use of an unbalanced centrifuge made me exclaim “No!” aloud, though.

No kidding. For anyone else who might wait 5 minutes for it to load, just unmute it. It starts playing immediately.

You are correct. I’m considered a “radical leftist” because I have crazy ideas like “don’t put kids in cages” and “the mentally ill shouldn’t be left to die on the street”.

Clearly polarizing positions that directly contradict the teachings of Jesus.

Biden isn’t even vaguely left leaning. Am I missing the joke?

Trump won’t be eligible in next election and I’m certain that won’t stop him from trying. Why can’t we do the same?

I have mast cell issues, so a bit similar. I still get the occasional food flare up, but just giving my guts a break works wonders.

I intermittent fast the majority of days and have done so for nearly the last decade. I have a chronic illness that affects my GI tract, among other things, and it helps a lot.

Not getting hangry is a huge perk. Once my flight got stuck for hours in a small town airport with no food nearby. I was watching people get so weird about not eating for a few hours, but I was able to just be okay.

As an American, I’m certain only the citizens, and only the stupid ones (which is the majority), think we’re the world police. It’s just the propaganda used to justify imperialist resource grabs.

I never know what to say about it. I try my best, but I’m vastly outnumbered by aggressive idiots. If I leave, it actually makes the country a little worse because it’s one less person to push back. The whole situation just sucks for everyone and I feel awful I can’t do more, of if I can, I don’t see it.

You’re spot on regarding how AI operates.

AI is stupid story time!

I recently helped a friend with a self-hosted VPN problem. He had been using a free trial of Gemini Pro to try to fix it himself but gave up after THREE HOURS. It never tried to help him diagnose the issue, but instead kept coming up with elaborate fixes with names that suggested they were known issues, like The MTU Traffic Jam, The Packet Collision Quandary, and, my favorite, The Alpine Ridge Controller Trap. Then it would run him through an equally elaborate “fix”. When that didn’t work, it would use the failure conditions to propose a new, very serious sounding pile of bullshit and the process would repeat.

I fixed it in about fifteen minutes, most of that time spent undoing all the unnecessary static routing, port forwarding, and driver rollbacks it had him do. The solution? He had a typo in the port number in his peer config.

I can’t deny that LLMs are full of useful knowledge. I read through its output and all of its suggestions absolutely would have quickly and efficiently fixed their accompanying issue, even the thunderbolt/pcie bridging issue, if the real problem had been any of them. They’re just garbage at applying that information.

I would be shocked if he cared. It’s just not amongst his concerns.

I sometimes enjoy white chocolate, but admit it’s only a slight step above eating straight butter and sugar.

The ads seem to be pretty variable depending on usage so I suspect not everyone is seeing the same thing. I rarely use YouTube in any form. When I do and I’m rawdogging it for whatever reason, it seems like I get a few short ads, like 30s or less. They’re annoying but not awful.

A friend keeps YouTube running constantly on his TV in the background while he works. He gets so many ads and they’re so long! Like several minutes of ads, mostly unskippable, over the course of a 15 minute video. I don’t know how people deal with that shit.

Then you won’t believe this: it’s the Phil McGraw School of Medicine at RFK Jr. University. The dean is Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Cancer, and Wolf, refers to the old common term for cancer: wolf. It was thought to be a parasite that ate up the afflicted, like a wolf.
