It’s a skill that you’re building. Just like everything else, it takes time. The worst part of learning anything as an adult is you are actually aware of how bad you are at something compared to the greats and are acutely aware of the time. My recommendation, passed on from the fella who taught me, is to stand in front of your bed or similar. It stops you from walking around, catches the balls for you if you drop them, and you can collapse into it in frustration if needed.

Agreed. There are a lot of posts in here about movies that are great as standalone movies.

Also lick your lips and show a little teeth. I have a friend who is into bird watching, and apparently the licking of lips is often enough to scare away birds that would otherwise have waited around a little bit longer.

Oh man, I never realized philosoraptor was a digimon! He’s EVOLVED! But into a bone thing? Was he evil the entire time!?!

I must not be that old, I don’t see the memes of my generation. Philosoraptor will never be old.

Fuck my life. I just found out my medicine (life saving, cannot live without medicine) has gone up in price 10x because of new insurance I got this year. Fuck me, right? In other countries, it’s pennies, here it’s hundreds of dollars.

Most people don’t sleep next to doors to the outside. Most windows are always locked. The least common way of a burglary happening is someone picking a lock.

You will be awake with a significant amount of seconds to grab a gun if someone breaks into your home.

As to doing it 24/7? Jesus, did you even read the rest of the post? That was the whole point of what you were replying to. They specifically said they think it’s true that carrying it most of the time isn’t the point.

Confiscating water? Jesus fucking christ.

And, as my friend who was restoring a vw bus laughed about, if there were any problems with the engine and your air tubes weren’t perfectly sealed… wonderful exhaust fumes straight into your face.

As yellow said, if it’s properly mixed, the effect is to be a very sweet iced tea taste where the alcohol is nearly unnoticeable. It’s probably due to the mixer/syrup just obliterating the harshness of the alcohol. Before I gave up drinking, it was definitely one of the few drinks that could sneak up and kick you in the ass if you weren’t paying attention.

The fact of sweet mixed drinks getting into you faster likely is also a contributing factor, and the classic liquors that they use are ‘sugar heavy.’

I liked derivatives and integrations. Series and sequences can suck my left third toe knuckle.

The blood spots and bruises are just associated with getting old (and yes, some other things). I’m so used to seeing them on older patients, even ones not on blood thinners / clot reducing agents, that this thing with trump just screams nothingburger to me. Like, we know he’s old. We’re hoping it gets him soon… but stop just telling us things about him that show he’s getting old, you silly media.

The theory about him and the dementia treatment is interesting, but still just meh.

But I like xfce… :'(

I mean, it’s both good and bad. The amount of downvotes mean there is a large subset of folks who no longer recognize the twisting of stallman’s rant. They are new to linux, and not super-serious-no-casuals-allowed penguin lovers. It’s bad because I would love if everyone coming to linux could be as into it as I am. People who are invested into a thing take a much deeper look at things, and can appreciate it’s soft and jagged parts and then properly make recommendations on how to change things.

Holy fuck, I never realized all of that happened within a single week.

Brian Jacques, the og feast describer. I definitely tried his recipe book and enjoyed a lot of it.

I think yes, and no. There are certainly in-house tools that the outside folks don’t get. LLMs for sure have better tiers and loosened guardrails.

…buuuuut, the people at an ‘executive’ level also are entirely unlike you and me. They are simultaneously as gullible and foolish as the ‘sheep’ of society, who are also buying into the ‘AI’ hype of LLMs, and so far removed from our situation that even using an LLM or search engine is entirely outside of their experience. They aren’t going to be using an LLM to plan out a vacation or a work schedule and have it fail any more than they would have looked through a SEO optimized bullshit website about vacuum cleaners (or super slideshow-ified list of ‘top ten pacific vacations!’ website to show you a bunch of ads) five years ago. They’ll ask the LLM (/search engine and only look at the ai at top) for the best pacific vacations and then tell their assistant to plan a vacation for them based on a quick glance at the result (or the same for the vacuum cleaner to replace the one that broke when their house cleaner was trying to get the super long hair from the super fru-fru breed that’s only allowed in two rooms in the house out of the super luxurious thick rug).

The way they use the LLM is perfectly fine for them. They aren’t going to see any negatives from it, so the in-house or publicly available versions aren’t really the reason for their ability to ‘crow’ about it. Same for the general downtrend of the internet. Their use case fucking sucks, and it isn’t affected.

I think he meant 2017 and the ingrained year of 2025 led to him typing it slightly wrong.

Too bad arby’s can’t help ya anymore.

I’ve never seen a polar bear around when there’s a chihuahua. They know better than to come close.
