Put $5k into index funds per year, you will have $2m when you retire (assuming a conservative 8% annual gain). Now add in your home’s value, etc. Retired middle class workers often have wealth over $1m.
Nobody will support taking pap’s hard earned retirement money.
That crane and lift sounds expensive and cumbersome. I’ll just put the panels on ground mounts and buy more solar instead.
Making Trump look weak is probably the only thing that would convince him to donate arms to Ukraine. Russia cannot afford for the USA to start that up again; Russia is struggling hard with only Europe donating arms.
I’m happy you quoted that from the case, as that bit specifically clarifies you still have the rights regardless of connections with a militia; a common point people seem to get confused on.
Yep. Banning arms in common use is a direct violation your rights as confirmed in Heller.
Passing such bans just wastes taxpayer money on defending the indefensible.
Putin is bogged down in his war of conquest; his oil export terminals thrashed and refineries burnt. He doesn’t have the ability to do anything else. See also: Syria and Armenia.

It always struck me as…poor…to not require a password for decryption. If you require zero knowlege from me, that means a stolen has everything inside needed to decrypt all the data.
And well, lookie there at the article!
You were supposed to pay 1,000,000 but stopped at 7000,000? They’ll sell it for 1,300,000 and someone will buy it.
Any profits from a foreclosed home go to the evicted homeowner. Banks do not make money on foreclosures. Banks do not want to foreclose on you, they want you to pay your bill.
8GB of VRAM just isn’t worth it. Hold onto what you got for now.
Considering Iran has been bombing the UAE, this doesn’t surprise me.
I appreciate it. <3
Lots of other people are making solid points as well. Glad to see people engaging.
From the video (timestamped):
Even under the maximlist goals of AI companies, the projected increase of water use is small compared to what cities and industries already use.
He even mentions how US corn uses 80x more water than worldwide AI use; with 40% of that corn burned as ethanol. And that power usage is the much larger concern.
The water gets used over and over and over in the data center. It’s in a loop. The reporting that data centers consume vast quantities of water completely misunderstand the core concept of a water loop.
That said, most data centers use the water for evaporative cooling. In that case, it comes back down as rain. But again, even in that case the reporting is still very overblown.
The phones may enhance their distraction
Yes, that is why phones are increasingly banned during school. A whole host of distractions are banned during school.
Engage with programs that make education more interesting, and help students find better ways to learn.
We can (and should) do both!
Come now. You and I both know kids in a geometry lecture aren’t using their phones to look up geometry proofs.
If someone is bitching this hard about not having their phone (while they should be paying attention in school, I might add!), then they are on the phone too damn much and need it taken away.
someone should work on an open-source snap alternative.
Is that not Flatpaks? They are damn good.
the price of processed vs healthy food
Eating less donuts is cheaper than eating more donuts. If price is your motivator, I have good news for you!
Anytime I ask it about things I’m knowledgeable about, it falls on it’s face. It only seems smart on topics I don’t know shit about (this red flag has spotlights on it!). Given this, I cannot trust it on anything lest I be led down false paths. Given how LLMs work, I don’t see this problem as fixable.
I have found them useful for search term generation. (Using a topic I know things about) If I need a more powerful drill for screwing lag bolts into hardwood and I’m not finding what I need, asking it and and getting back the keyword ‘impact driver’ is helpful, as it lets me go search for what that is and if it is the solution to my need for a more powerful drill. Note: I do not let it teach me about impact drivers (as it falls on it’s face all the fucking time), only use it to get the keyword to then use to search the internet.
To circle back to your question, I’m not scared with how fast they are advancing. I’m scared by how many people think they are good at everything and put them in places they don’t belong.
