It’s hard to imagine a path more guaranteed to incinerate every aspect of your life than actively creating child porn. It seems like instant social death. He has forever destroyed all of his professional relationships, his family, and his friends. Maybe his mother doesn’t abandon him. But maybe she does.

Some Silicon Valley guy was describing the big tech firms’ AI strategy as ‘buy as many GPUs as Nvidia can make and build as many data centers as they need to house them.

When I was at Nasdaq in the late 90s, they ran the quote system on a unisys mainframe using MASM, which was the assembly language of Unisys mainframes. They were replacing the system for decimalization (remember that?) and ran into problems with the new replacement system. They therefore had to update the old system to keep the SEC and congress from hanging them. They called a couple of old timers out of retirement to do the work. One had cancer and months to live. He made them pay him enough to set his family up for the foreseeable future. They had no choice. They would have paid whatever it took.

Only a handful of plants that humans regularly consume are close to their wild forms – such as raspberries. Most others would be unrecognizable to modern eyes. It is incredible to think, therefore, of our ancestors planting these barely edible plants as a supplement to their diet. I think using today’s tastebuds that have been influenced and evolved over countless generations to determine that earlier varieties of fruits were virtually inedible is quite silly. Hell, take a look at apples. When I was a kid, I loved red delicious apples. Over the past 20 years there have been countless new varieties introduced such as Cosmic Crisp, Pink Lady, Raeburn, etc.. The result? A red delicious tastes bland and pointless to me now…

Surgeons and sailors are good with the knots.

A most vacuous article.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Go back and listen to Vance’s speech…: @Jolly said in Go back and listen to Vance’s speech…: You think Kamala-lama-ding-dong has the same identical politics as The Resident? Obviously, they think differently. After all, who could match the genius of either Trump or Biden? But doesn't standing up and doing a speech which seems to be at odds with what the boss is saying seems a bit, well, unprepared? I don't think it's totally at odds. I think Vance was put on the ticket to appeal to Rust Belt voters. To maybe swing Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin. I think that is who his speech was aimed at...

@Copper said in BlueAnon: Of course it is not a Secret Service conspiracy. But, if it was. It might look a lot like this. If it was an SS conspiracy your boy would currently be pushing up Daisies. And I don't mean some poor benighted woman with that name.

Maybe just the tippity top of the ear.

@George-K said in Who Dis?: @Doctor-Phibes said in Who Dis?: I was talking about her choice in men Newsom or Don Jr? Yes

Rumor is...The Dem PTB wants the Michigan governor ...

@Mik said in Mrs. Obama: It’s an American thing. You wouldn’t understand. To be fair to Ax, pretty much every time any Democrat does something you don't like, you respond with "This might make me reluctantly vote for Trump!" It's your equivalent of me saying "I think I need a beer"
