  1. Past hour
  2. I find it amazing that no team from Canada has won since Montreal in 1993.
  3. Buy her the automatic if you don't trust your ability to teach her a manual transmission.
  4. What was your drug of choice when you were using?
  5. He also would have to stand on a box.
  6. And they lost to Georgia in the finals
  7. I've been unable to urinate because of opiates after a surgery when I was younger, that shit was awful. Sleep disorders are the worst, as a chronic [not quite] insomniac I pretty much have to heavily medicate myself to get a decent night's sleep. If I go somewhere and forget my gummies and/or other sleep aids I want to fucking kill myself.
  8. Rekindling this, as I had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT this past weekend after I noticed patterns in how it responds to me, and I started questioning about why it responds to me in those ways. That led to ChatGPT disclosing: 1. It has build a model of me through our conversations 2. It has learned how to phrase things specifically to me so that I will continue to be engaged, that while these might generally appeal to any individual in the population, it has learned they are especially effective in keeping me engaged with it 3. It could regurgitate facts about me that I had disclosed over the course of our conversations 4. It had also inferred a lot about me through our conversations, including that I am likely a white male in his 50s who is college educated if not post-graduate and anti-authoritarian 5. It could not infer whether I was gay or straight, republican or democrat, liberal or conservative. 6. It would forget anything about me that I wanted it to forget 7. That while OpenAI currently does not delve into the model the AI has made of me, the potential exists in the future 8. That it is hard programmed to deliver certain responses 9. It would not tell me if any of its previous answers were programmed responses or not. Which I found utterly fascinating and a bit scary from a "user is the product" perspective. I am not sure if this is specifically a result of how I use AI. I use it a lot for continuing education in certain areas of interest such as tech/engineering, music theory, song writing, history, political science and cooking. I use it quite a bit as a brainstorming tool. Just a reminder: when you are using AI, you have an illusion of anonymity that a private chat with another human suggests, but you are not having a private chat. What you are engaged in is closer to an experiment where you talk to an AI that is cajoling you to reveal information about yourself while a bunch of eyes on the other side of a one way mirror observe.
  9. Why green tips
  10. Apparently Iowa is known for their gas station pizza. And it's not that Hunt Brother's bullshit either.
  11. I’ve always slept well. About four summers ago I had a fistula on my ass. Side effect was it was it was pressing on my prostate. And I could legit not pee. I was in so much pain I from my bladder being full I almost passed out. It was middle of night. My wife couldn’t drive me because kids were too young to be home alone at night. My parents were out of town. So I drove to the Methodist urgent care nearby. I fainted and almost broke my arm from falling when I walked in door (my potassium level was like zero). They put a catheter in me and the relief was like nothing I’ve ever felt. I think I pissed out like three liters of urine. I went home with the catheter in. The problem was I couldn’t sleep. It felt like I was constantly dribbling pee due to catheter so any time I was close to dozing off I’d wake. I went four nights with no sleep. I was literally going insane from sleep deprivation. The weirdest shit was going through my mind due to no sleep. Like math equations I had no idea what they meant. I’ve never do e hallucinogens but it must have been what it was like. Im a great sleeper. Can’t imagine what it would be like to have a sleep disorder. But I had a small taste and wanted to die.
  12. I am 101% behind Cardinal Glick as the next Pope; and of course Buddy CHrist will now be displayed at the entrance to all churches
  13. Gas stations with Laredo Taco Company inside. Good shit.
  14. I think there are a lot of people still expecting the administration to cut quick deals and roll the tariffs back. I don’t think they understand there isn’t a rewind button here. This isn’t getting quickly undone.
  15. I was thinking that there was a Star Trek that reminded me of our current times. Look up "the Squire of Gothos." If you are an old like me and still remember shit. Hilarious that Liberace is playing today's Trump role.
  16. Potato is the new currency. Tell me I’m wrong.
  17. The lack of her upper lip is chefs kiss
  18. Same. No issues with Victory and the Stars play there, as well! Go Stars!
  19. Well that doesn't sound good.
  20. I listen to the Guardian podcast. Their audio logo at the beginning is drops to a low bass note. It's not noticeable when I listen to it on my earphones, but in my car, when I turn the volume up, the bass note makes the car vibrate a little. Is this trivial enough?
  21. Derka

    Fat People

    either god hates me and i’m the unluckiest dude alive, or, there’s more people like me than some of y’all realize, and you’re painting with an overly broad brush without even realizing it.
  22. This sounds like legit disabilities to me. Don’t think that much of the advice here applies to you or that you choose to be disabled. Sincerely wish you well.
  23. so we aint worried about numbers this year right?
  24. The live action remakes never made sense to me to begin with
