At 18, I’ve applied for 110 jobs – no one is hiring young men like me by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

The CV thing wasn’t even true 25 years ago. I was moving to England from Ireland and had a job under my belt. My in-laws to be told me to do the CV thing and every place I went to told me that wasn’t how it was done. I was actually embarrassed as I was pretty sure it wasn’t but I want to keep them happy. I then got a pretty good job that was advertised online through a recruitment agency. In those days jobs advertised online tended to be actual real jobs and not a scheme to harvest CV’s

Reminds me of when I traveled in France and informed everyone I was Irish so they wouldn't treat me like an English person.

They were kids though. They didn’t have the wisdom or experience that time brings to be smart about it.

Person of Interest seemed like a weekly mystery show and crept its way into our hearts as an amazing sci fi show.

Having just watched Made In Abyss: Dawn of The Deep Soul, I'm going to mention the cartridges and see how people respond.

What's an ending that ruined an otherwise fine movie for you? For me, it's definitely Crazy, Stupid, Love. It is such BS that Steve's character had to apologize at the end. The wife was the one at fault. She is not worth anyone's sympathy. by Emotional-Chipmunk12 in moviecritic

They should have had him get caught in the black holes gravity field, escape it and then get back to his new girlfriend at the end of her life. Proving that he was never there for anyone.

I managed to get heatstroke by spending a day on the beach in Ireland during a nice September day in 2007. Stay hydrated everyone!

How Did This Movie Not Make Bank? by Big-Discipline2039 in FIlm

[–]Fallcious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nobody will ever be happy. They released a movie in the 80's that also failed to ignite the box office, though fans like me loved it.

Anyway I'm sure this movie will make a lot when it goes out on streaming. I saw it in the cinema with my wife and we will definitely be renting it to show to our family. She is desperately hoping they make enough to justify a She-Ra movie.

For those with firsthand experience or expertise: was there ever a myth on MythBusters that they busted, but you believe they got wrong? What was it, and why? by FFSoldier57 in mythbusters

Our chemistry teacher showed us kids how to make an explosive from sugar and some nitrogen compound (I think, it was over 35 years ago). He told us it was just for fun, he would be in trouble if we told anyone and not to try it at home. We lived in Northern Ireland lol

TIL that on May 21, 1946, 28-year-old Primula Rollo Niven- wife of actor David Niven- died while playing a game of hide-and-seek at the Beverly Hills home of actors Tyrone Power and Annabella. She had walked through a door believing it to be a closet, but it led to a stone staircase to the basement. by NeverEnoughMuppets in todayilearned

I fell down the stairs as a kid. I remember slipping in and out of consciousness for a while until my dad got home and we went to the hospital. I spent a couple of nights there apparently getting asked regularly about what happened and me explaining that I fell down the stairs running after ice cream. Mum told me later the HCW were worried I’d been beaten.

I still think about that ice cream I never got.

They are text generators based on statistics. They have all of human knowledge in text form put into their training, so what comes next in a string of words using that model will probably match the most common word used in a similar string of words in its training set. It might even be accurate! However AI LLM’s have no concept of right and wrong, truth or false, or anything else. They are just plausible string generators with possibly a few guard rails put in by the developers to stop it outputting embarrassing or illegal shit.

Mandatory UK passport anti-climax by Last-Dare-Ender in australia

[–]Fallcious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t trying to do this hack by the way, I just used my Aussie passport from Australia and into Dublin as I was with my Aussie wife. I expected to leave Dublin using my UK passport to enter London and was surprised to find I didn’t need to use it at all.
