Yet in soup, or your mouth, NaCl will freely dissolve into its constituent parts. Which is totally fine, because electrons or something.

A man who played no small part in creating the era of journalism and media that brought us Trump in the first place. Go away George.

The problem is that the LLMs have stolen all that information, repackaged it in ways that are subtly (or blatantly) false or misleading, and then hidden the real information behind a wall of search results that are entire domains of ai trash. It’s very difficult to even locate the original sources or forums anymore.

Except his term ends next year, the position is a presidential appointment, and Matt Gaetz is looking for a job.

Since at least the 80s, the GOP has engaged in an active, organized effort to destroy education and promote anti-intellectualism. Fox News is both a cause and effect of that effort.

Seriously, these aren’t smackdowns in any sense, just embarrassing rambling lies.

Many of the largest corps are buying and adding renewables in ever increasing amounts. There are some cases where fossil fuel is still a little bit cheaper than renewables plus batteries, if you completely ignore externalities like harmful emissions. Running out of space and maintenance costs? You’re grasping at straws. Nearly every industrial facility is on the grid, not requiring any nearby space. And you know what’s always more expensive than solar maintenance costs? Fossil plant maintenance costs, not even mentioning a little on-going cost and cost-risk thing called fuel.

More new solar capacity is being installed than any other generation type. I guess heavy industry is gonna collapse due to it being weak girly power! We’re doomed!

What specifically makes “industrial energy” different from any other energy? I keep seeing this lie about renewables everywhere and it doesn’t even try to make sense. Electricity is electricity. Need “more juice?” Install more renewables for the cheapest juice in history.

How about adding in that the president can’t take bribes from other countries? Maybe make a whole clause about it.

By publicly stating that this is revenge, they’ve opened themselves to all different kinds of legal pushback.

But it doesn’t include tethering/hotspot. WTF? That’s a feature of my phone, not of a fucking plan.

Why does every fucking headline imply that Trump has the power to fire Powell? What the fuck are these journalists doing?

Well I guess I have to give him credit for implementing DEI for currencies, and giving up our white dollar privilege.

Department of Handbag Security Chief Fails to Secure Handbag.

This piece of shit Alito actually wrote this in his dissent, presumably with a straight face: “The papers before us, while alleging that the appli- cants were in imminent danger of removal, provided little concrete support for that allegation.”

Carville and Maher can both fuck off to their hospice care homes already.

Unfortunately FreeCAD is to professional 3D CAD as wet toilet paper is to kevlar. As someone who’s spent thousands of hours in solidworks, FreeCAD is physically painful to use. Onshape is the “free” compromise that generally works well.

He is an honest person, but has had a lifetime of being honestly wrong about almost everything. Even with the mea culpas, he still apportions the blame for our current situation completely inappropriately. That said, I agree we are not in a position to turn away imperfect allies and I applaud him for trying to do something with whatever miniscule influence he retains.

When people say “you used to be able to have honest debate with the other side,” David is the only one who in my lifetime that may have been true for.

You still need to do it. And then add in some unpardonable civil contempt.

They can get Kristi Noem there for a photoshoot whenever the fuck they want. It would be trivial to bring him back.
