Hello Andrea, are you new here? Tell us a little about yourself!

@Axtremus said in The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread: @Renauda said in The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread: @Mik said in The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread: Yeah, I don't know how one could torture the words otherwise. They could try to sell it as a Special Military Operation. Doubt if anyone with half a brain would buy it. Well ... we are talking about the MAGA folks after all. I see Trump is trying to sell it as “an excursion”.

Why the visit? I'll be there in a few weeks for work. Should time it nicely to be mobbed by Cherry Blossom gawkers.

@kluurs said in Gym culture question - ‘working in’: One gym I worked at long ago had a healthy population of gang members and police working out there. Across Austin Blvd I assume?

@jon-nyc

That’s great dude! Inspirational. I’ve had booze twice in the past few weeks and of course it tastes great but I feel so much better the next day when I’m eating clean. I’ll see if I can drop maybe 12 pounds before my birthday in May.

@LuFins-Dad said in Creative PayPal scam: I had an interesting one last week where my Calendar App popped up with an alert letting me know that my McAfee payment of $367 went through… Click on the link to view receipt… I've had that one as well.

Yeah, but he bombed in his own country… 1990… Ouch…

@taiwan_girl said in What is Claude? Scientists aren't sure.: I am still not sure that I fully understand AI and how they are developed. Treat like religious scriptures -- no one is entirely sure of their provenance, no one understands the whole thing, people endlessly argue over them anyway. I certainly do not understand how AI can do pictures that are so lifelike and real on almost any subject. I posted this video before, probably one of the better explanations around: Link to video Enjoy!

Would the test be as difficult as that one where the Leader of the Free World needs to remember and recite "Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV"? And, allegedly, scores higher than any other President ever in the history of the country? Because I think you might be selling yourselves a bit short. As we all know, that guy's a veritable fucking genius, and after polling the office I reckon a good 75% of the population could pass with flying colors.

@taiwan_girl No need. We already know.

There is a lot of Oscar buzz about Jessie Buckley but it must have been weirdly tempting to cast Anne Hathaway in the lead role of Hamnet.

Looks like a good sized twister hit around Kankakee, IL earlier and right now the map is showing another potential tornadic cell heading that way again. Lord help those people if a daytime tornado disaster zone is hit by a nighttime tornado…

This is my audiobook. It’s a little weird because my kindle book at the moment is Shirer still. So I go back and forth between Weimar and WWII. [image: 1773190184759-img_0997.jpeg]

There's a guy in our office who spends half his life talking about stuff he's 3D printed at home. The other half of his life is spent talking about how he hasn't been promoted. The rest of the time he's working. Apparently the one thing he can't print for himself is a clue.

Opportune time, with the US occupied with Iran and shorter on munitions.
