EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
Hey! That’s my IP address whenever the script kiddies are boasting in chat. How did he get it?
Having used an expensive Metcal, I would like someone to develop that level of performance for less. I want the precise thermostat and high quality tips, but I don’t solder enough to justify the expense. I am happy to see iFixit driving innovation in this market though. Weller needs some real competition.
“I don’t want them leaving the building … I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee." Dude… I would pay money for a cage match between this wanker and the Starbucks CEO (commuting by private jet wanker). Ideally, they’d mortally wound each other.
I have a similar coating on my deck in the back yard. I can stand on it barefoot comfortably in the summer which is not possible without the coating.
You can hire a lot of programmers for the cost of one CEO.
Which reminded me of an 80s movie called Gung Ho about a Japanese company that bought an American automobile manufacturer and the ensuing culture clash.
Did I miss anything?
The “Stop Using AI to Make Videos of JD Fucking Couches and Dolphins” bill?
That’s not Jenna. That’s a snuff film.
And yet 2023 was the new all time high for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the book. We will not cut emissions until we run out of easily extractable carbon to emit. We’ll be building solar powered pumps for oil wells at some point for the otherwise negative EROI. As a species, we deserve the consequences of our behavior. Too bad they will be most severe for some of the least responsible first.
With my luck, I would only get my surgically removed wisdom teeth back.
When Ministry for the Future starts to happen sooner than expected… poor people
I don’t believe gibbons can fly, but they should lead with something more relevant like “gibbons are terrestrial as opposed to aquatic apes.” ;)
I am scared of what Google ai thinks of the aquatic ape hypothesis.
I googled gibbons and the Ai paragraph at the beginning started with “Gibbons are non-flying apes with long arms…” Way to wreck your credibility with the third word.
Another example of why Threads should be required viewing for all politicians.
And they expect you to hold their beliefs or stay silent. If you express a contrary opinion, you are the one bringing politics into the discussion. It’s like playing chess with a pigeon.
In other news, 2023 broke 2022 record for most carbon emissions ever. 2024 will break that record again. Renewable energy is just added to the energy we consume. No displacement on a global level (if some country uses less, the oil companies just sell it to the next eager market). We won’t see meaningful declines in emissions until the population begins to fall instead of grow, crops fail from climate chaos (starving us), and most importantly we begin to run out of carbon to burn. I fully expect to see solar-powered oil wells extracting oil that would otherwise have a negative EROI.
The other bad news is that completely displacing oil would require more of various non-renewable resources than exist on Earth. To get where we need to go, we will need a decline in lifestyle, and covid already demonstrated how unwilling many are to that concept (staying home and wearing masks to save lives was too much of a burden for many).
I do dumb things like edit my network configuration do some stuff and log out. Then I can’t login the next weekend because the IP address is wrong. Also:
Ifconfig eth0 down
And I am booted from ssh.
My favorite error is “password is too long.”
