How about half a 108-year old? Don't ask which half.

@Mik Not so much funny as deliciously cynical.

Instead of forcing employers/institutions to hand over lists of names and contact information, a more voluntary approach maybe to set up a hotline (and the cyber equivalent) for people who want federal government attention to specific matters to contact.

Yeah, but it's still following the trends with that paper clip tail light. Plus, the age of logos as the badge is over. Now the cool thing is to spell out the name with letters on the back.

@jon-nyc said in Are we in an AI bubble?: AMD or Huawei in China but Nvidia has like 80-90% of the American market for AI compute which comprises 75% of the world’s total. First the bubble bursts, then the missiles start exchanging. If your brains aren't already trying to prepare you for survival in the aftermath, I wish you the best. I'm already a crack shot as i've played first player shooters my whole adult life. Now I'm signing up for jujitsu classes. Gotta learn how to roll. But mostly it's gonna be all about who's got guns. That's the new currency for a spell, bullets. Worth more than gold per ounce. And we all worried that AI would be the ruinization of us. Terminator 2 unfolding, right? Well AI took us out but just in a bit different way. When it happens, we will all point the finger at Nvidia of course. And Jensen Huang will self headshot with a single bullet. The least he could do for raping and pillaging us poor gamer boys for years. He just got $1000 from me for my latest upgrade of my GPU. Nvidia purposely screwed around with their gamers base with their latest release of the RTX 5000 series video cards. The grandaddy , the 5090, which is by far the faster gun in town, saw it's price skyrocket due to scarcity and today they can be had but not for its MSRP of $2000. No, no. Try almost double that price.

But it has come back down to earth a bit and today can be had at msrp mostly. Add a little Black Friday spice and I personally kept the lights on at Nvidia for another 10 seconds. You know what I think I'll miss the most in this aftermath. PC Gaming. No more danged electricity. Sucks.

I can't remember a time when we weren't being told that the Iranian regime wasn't on the verge of collapse. And that, my friends, is a triple-negative.

"That far orange cunt" isn't particularly witty, but it is quite satisfying to say out loud.

@Horace said in How AI defends the status quo: So AI is conservative by nature. I guess that's more evidence of how smart it is. I think you might be right. I've seen its jokes.

@Doctor-Phibes said in To hell in a fucking handcart I say…: African or European? African Swallows are non-migratory… So couldn’t bring a coconut.

I only read a few, immediately saw how much crap they talked about Donald LOL [image: 1763753140695-be6aeab9-c849-455b-b16c-9aa0c9cb5254-image.png] [image: 1763753207925-4b62394b-1a18-4443-b9f2-e983ba28314e-image.png]

Or maybe she was already on her knees amirite

It is. And of course totally unplanned. Remember we didn’t even see it until two weeks later when we got home and had the film developed.

I was going to ask Ax who ate all that. It's a Hefty Meal.

I think Gavin's Willie Horton would have to be in California, not Florida. You can bet if there is one the GOP is aware of it and will trot it out when needed.

38,001, despite a 'you are here' pointer to Denver on one photo. Got a Quebec photo completely wrong. Real fun to play.

apparently some of us are coming around to the realization that there can be legit principled people who made up the maga movement. Just kidding, that realization is not within their grasp.
