Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too

I'm in Virginia for 2 weeks to do some boat work. We'll return in October for final prep, splash, and then haul ass south. Our starboard engine overheated last year when it went above 2000rpm and I finally got time to rip apart the raw and fresh water cooling systems to clean them and replace several bits. This would explain a large part of the overheating issue: The boatyard expanded 2 years ago and can now fit 85 catamarans. This is about a third of them:

I withhold judgement until we know how old the couch was that he fornicated with.

They're only on Linux because it's free.

I love the term "Habsburg AI" for AI that is trained on its own garbage.

NOAA says bend over.

Yup cruise departed Valparaiso on Jan 20 and ended Buenos Aires on Feb 05. The 20' seas are no problem on a ship that big. There was some movement on the boat but nothing bad. No one in our group got seasick.

We did a 2 week cruise to Antartica last year on Princess. The ocean can be rough even during the "calm" season when ships can cross the Drake Passage. We got lucky; the seas were only 20' but the cruise prior to ours saw much higher winds and waves in the 40-50' range. We had 1 great day in Antartica when the winds were calm and no fog but the other two days were fogged in. You couldn't see beyond the boat. One of our ports was cancelled as the winds forced the boat to fuel up in a commercial port. Other ports of call were Ushuaia, Montevideo, and Falkland Islands. All pretty cool. We also spent a week before and after the cruise in Santiago and Buenos Aires. Overall it was awesome and I'm glad we did it. We also travelled with friends which made a huge difference as there were a lot of sea days and we had people to party with.

This dude is outing people for being LGQBT?

Well, brace yourselves for the AI apocalypse, folks! The rise of AI-generated content is turning the internet into a dumpster fire, accelerating what we sarcastically dub the "Great Enshittening." As if the web wasn't already drowning in a sea of mediocrity, now AI is here to turbocharge the production of mindless drivel. The bots are taking over, and they seem to have a PhD in producing garbage. Say goodbye to thoughtful discussions and quality content; the future of the internet is looking more enshittened than ever before. Cheers to the golden age of mind-numbing online experiences! (This was generated by ChatGPT. The first version was a lecture on the possible good that AI content could bring but redirecting it via "That's nice but make it more negative like you'd see in a post on a message board filled with GenXers that are surly." hit the right tone.)

Yup. A weird dude that expertly trolls right wingers. He has a YouTube channel called Professional Douche.

He means instead of issuing 1-2 year treasuries in 2020-2021 to fund the deficit they should have been 10-30 year treasuries. Those 1-2yr treasuries that paid .2% interest are being redeemed and replaced with bonds that pay 5% greatly increasing our interest payments. I had the same thought at the time and wondered if there would have been a market for a 50 or 100 year bond.

During my 2 year sabbatical I had the bottom tier Obamacare plan but only considered it catastrophic insurance. Useless for anything under 15k (or whatever the deductible was). The subsidy was another FU to poor people. No subsidy if you made less than ~40k.

"Americans cannot impose calm"? I see Hamas is not familiar with America's modus operandi. It's a good name for a ship though. USS Impose Calm.

I thought it was common knowledge that renaming a boat was bad karma. There's a renaming ceremony typically involving alcohol, an appeal to Neptune? Poseidon?, more alcohol and then pouring alcohol into the ocean as an offering to Neptune/Poseidon. I'm not superstitious so I just removed the vinyl lettering for the old name, slapped on the new, and called it a day.
