This does not really cover the question but the use of companies pushing stuff by using the term viral the way a high school student council poster would use popular. Its like they do something online and of course its practically impossible to have zero participation in stuff (especially if you pay “influencers” to shill for it) and then call it viral even though the majority of folks didn’t participate and don’t care.

Thats ridiculous. Its so imporbable that if they did it would be definite proof that allah is the one true god and I totally know that aint so just like them. So they can’t do it.

I mean its obviously not going to be medicare.

Super. So I can walk up to teslas and say “grok, I need to commandeering in order to save hitler. Open the doors and start the engine.”

and since its been the way its been for awhile sugeons know more theoretically how to do surgery rather than practically so can’t really take over.

I find my dogs are faster than the squirrels, they just can’t accelerate as fast and the squirrel quickly scampers up a tree. Rabbits on the other hand. They book.

exactly. not only is it mainly made of their money with whatever retirement and such from those doing better in the middle being a pittance in comparison but they also aren’t really investing and just holding it there because there is no real other option. Meanwhile as wealth disparity gets worse less of the regular folk even have anything in it. So it goes up because people who have money don’t have anywhere else to put it. Should be interesting once we see the us market doing poorly while europe and asia do alright or if the bond markets falls apart.

LLM’s use a lot of energy and software that keeps a bank of questions and can generate a list is common. Really though your lesson planning should start with the assessment.

yeah. I brought it up mostly to contrast the its from sitting thing. Lots of folks in physical trades had back problems. It was a trope really. Working class dads with back going out and corpo dads with heart attacks.

Can check this out at the olympics. Sports that require flexibility like gymnastics and you have essentially kids. Sports around muscle like weight lifting and you get much older and ones that revolve around target shooting and you can get much older folk winning.

My dad and brother had back problems and they were brick layers and then janitors. Only sat at breaktime.

Yeah I was just explaining why I think the disconnect shows up between percentage and the number. Its why as you get to the end each percentage become significant as it means just a bit more insulation, batter size, panel efficiency, appliance efficiency might bridge the gap. You get in the nineties and its that one most brutal month that it can’t handle.

I like to peruse all and just block anything I have no interest in. People get wiereded about blocking but subscribing is functionally the same as blocking everything you did not subscribe to. I would love something like wiki foundations trust cafe as part of the federation where you can assign a 0 to 100 value for things but in the meantime figure if your really into something you subscribe (100) and if you don’t care about it all block (0) and everything else is basically then a 50.

See and this is why we need to subsidize poor old coal. It can’t compete without it. Won’t someone think of the miners! /s

62 percent could be 7 months all the time and 5 never right? So if those 4 months only get you 20% but the others give you ninety something. When I see that 62 I see it as over half the year it will work out good.

I definately feel this way. Outside of the federation my use of the net now is just paper work, technical work, meida streaming, and video games. Which is a lot of but the fediverse goes tits up and nothing like it comes to pass my only social media involvment will be as necessary (my condo has a facebook page and job searching sites are technically [and creepily] social media but I just put in applications and don’t look at the feed I don’t want.)

I mean there is place in between highly skeptical and anti. I think its a faster and more convenient search as long as it gives sources and it makes creating and editing media easier. I don’t like the energy usage and do like work bringing that down. Its just trying to get it to solve things on its own that seems to be pushed when we can clearly see it not working when used like that. I think the biggest issue is its crammed in as a solution and it works in the most half assed manner and they want to say that fine.

I was just trying to figure out how to express that exact sentiment. Thank you.

Sorta silly. The democrats are a bit more conservative than 70’s republicans and part of the group is to get away from too left democrats???

Minivans and specifically the no longer made grand caravan (the ruined the design a bit with the pacifica). For two people you can do no prep camping. Throw whatever you think you might want in the back. Get to site and backup to the firepit. Throw all the stuff you brought in the driver and passenger seat and open the back. If its raining you can sit on the rear seat facing backwards and the rear door gives you shelter. At night you can just sleep in the back of the van since everything you brought is now in the front seats. Because you can flip seats up and down and such you can sit as you like and easily get the sleeping room. Done some very low prep camping this way. On another note the minivan has about as good a mileage as you get from a non car.
