with 35 years in prison, you could ostensibly learn C++ or something in the computer time they have for you? We should get all our prisoners working on AI and cybersecurity CISSP's and CompTIA's and all that jazz.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
holiday travel in november will be the first true test. TSA agents are barely a hair removed from bus drivers. They ain't gonna work for free for long.

Donald Trump “has plenary authority”
I have an older family member in England and it's a nightmare. She needs specialists, which isn't the hardest part, but it's the approvals for the medicine and therapies which are extremely difficult to get approved, so she's on bad generics and bio-similiars and first-line type medicines that don't work because it's too expensive and hard to escalate treatments. I feel bad when our family compare notes (genetic/hereditary disease) and compare it to the care and treatment we get here for pennies on the dollar with amazing PPO/EPO type plans from Fortune500's. -- But yes, it's generally understood by everyone that the basic rudimentary care of ear infections and flu and cold and preventative care and easy peasy stuff, the socialized system is best. But when you get to three or four levels into chronic and expensive illness and diseases, those systems generally breakdown and suck and "enshittify" due to having to limitations in money and using statistics of large numbers.

If you ever tasted their grandkids "Andy Steak Bites" off the Ranger Meals of Texas Roadhouse you would know.......those are the worst cuts of meat and just overcooked to hide the imperfections and a waste of red meat consumption for those of us on a red meat pitch count. Life is too short to eat any sort of fast food or chain steak bites. Sheesh.- Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal

Jack Handy or Mitch Hedberg?- Explosion at TN Manufacturing Plant—19 missing
Honestly when I clicked on the link (explosion, tennessee, plant) my first thought was God bless those Eastman Chemical people in far east TN, because that is a heavy duty chemical processing operation out there and would be horrific. But this is somehow even worse based on the images. There won't even be dental records.- Explosion at TN Manufacturing Plant—19 missing
What do you mean? Solid software company in Plano, right? Turbotax people?- Skatteboo
He's living his best life right now. Clearly loves football and probably a great teammate. NFC East hasn't had to contend with a good NYG in like 18 years, would be interesting to see if he can string some of these games together and have a good season and career, if so, NYG might have won the 2025 draft with Dart and Skatteboo.- Post a pic that makes you lol
There is no way the Americans beat Mexico in dish / sink scrubbing. Such fake AI slop.- ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
Get a load of these guys, pretending like they are FDE's at Palantir or something.- Israel

Agree with you on that. And interestingingly, I had sort of pegged you as muslim or muslim adjacent (second/third generation maybe) based on your posts tbh.- NFL Week 6
Wait, is Cam Skattebo him? lol sheesh. Having a better season than Jeanty would be hilarious when it's all said and done.- NFL Week 6
Is Jaxson Dart him? Uh oh, NFC East hasn't had a good NYG to contend with in like 15 years.- Israel
Makes sense and I agree. Not sure that Israel will be interested in that. Maybe they hold their nose and do it, not for the benefit of Gaza and Palestinians, but for their own benefit. If you are a hardline Israeli, what you are essentially saying that Israel didn't take the axe to the roots and that the weeds will grow back (in their view). There was a point in man's history when we made the moral and ethical leap from whole people groups wiping out other people groups and they would be no more to genocide being an atrocity and an evil. I wonder if that was when it became something that others in the world had to bear witness to. Ironically maybe that was when another group was trying to eliminate the hebrew people, and yet here we are....- Israel
The dilemma in the future as I see it is now, a) you have a generation of Palestinians in the future full of resentment and nothing to lose willing to die where life is cheap and b) Palestinians should also understand what a consequence from Isreal looks like for any repeat of anything that even remotely resembles a 10/7. Both those ideas live in tension to themselves. That seems to be a pretty big problem for the region.- Israel vs everyone war thread
Why are Palestinians crying and celebrating and taking to the streets in sweet relief today unlike anytime prior (including January)?- ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Love this.- Donald Trump “has plenary authority”
I do. But the way you ask the question reminds me of the old saw, "a lawyer never asks the question he doesn't already know the answer to" and I'm willing to be educated if I'm wrong.- ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now

Corporate CYA I guess? I think it's hard to argue it's NOT executive malpractice if you don't have an AI strategy or think about incorporating AI for operational efficiency or bottom line gain since like 2021-2022ish. No ELT or BoD would allow anyone to be iconoclastic about AI in a time such as this.- Israel vs everyone war thread
No? I don't think so at least.- ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
It's a good discussion and you might be completely right and you sound like you have a unique and lived perspective. Let me say that before I respectfully push back on a few things: 1) Power build outs (energy generation) is absolutely happening and in full focus. From coal being en vogue again to small (and large) nuclear research and innovation and MOU's and JV's and acquisitions from the likes of the hyperscalers and Meta to legacy utilities pumping out more via renewables, coal, whatever (and we are all subsidizing AI btw with higher energy costs that is peanut buttered to our residential bills, don't believe me go check and do YoY compares). Everyone recognizes that building out power generation is fundamental and is everyone's primary focus (it's the primary bottleneck when you extrapolate out and it's not a secret). 2) Ironically enough I've read if it wasn't for crypto and specifically bitcoin we'd be even more behind on understanding and operationalizing power buildouts for AI as you described it. BTC miners were positioned perfectly as they had long term (cheap) power contracts, had land and power and access to the gw that are today scarce (saw NRG, shout out to the Houston Texans, did a deal to acquire 12 gbs which literally doubled their stock if you look at the last few years). From what I understand that's exactly what CoreWeave did as a pivot. 3) From what I understand we are just now scaling the Grace Blackwell era. Given time (I'm talking 10 years not 2) GPUs will become a commodity as all new technology eventually becomes in time. - Arby's: We have the Meats!
