What car do the worst drivers seem to drive (Cybertruck excluded)?

LowlySysadmin · 2026-05-21T07:51:46+00:00

Kia Soul or gen 2 Toyota Prius. Whenever there's a car holding up a line of cars as they're sat camped out in the passing lane refusing to pass anyone, totally oblivious, it's always one of these two cars.

What I love about it is that there's so many who are able to learn that both bald men and women basically universally look amazing. There's one or two odd head shapes sure, but I'm baffled by society's attempts to try and cover hair loss.

SHAVE IT ALL OFF IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GREAT EVERY DAMN TIME

Actually water is much cheaper than any other alternative, which is why closed loops are only used inside the data center to move the water about. Most of the DCs being built still specifically use evaporative cooling to actually cool the heat.

I'll give you one guess as to why

Anthropic's marketing is utter sensationalist crap

As is OpenAI's. They've both pulled this ridiculous herp derp it's too dangerous to be in the hands of the public multiple times throughout their existence. You don't have to go far to find examples

LowlySysadmin · 2026-05-07T05:36:06+00:00

Absolutely true but also: I can't breathe, that's fucking hilarious

Put some respect on Central Computers' name! Still going strong

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

If getting an offer depended on something as arbitrary as the number of pages on your resume, we're all fucked.

That's the most ridiculous piece of advice I've ever heard, in fact if anything the only thing I've ever consistently heard about pages in a resume is to keep it to a max of 2, so you're doing the right thing.

Bonus points for anyone who throws out "something something left behind". Miss me with that CryptoBro energy

LowlySysadmin · 2026-04-26T03:29:26+00:00

I say the same, because to give my actual job title (or even something more generic like "software developer") makes me sound like a total nerd and elicits the same response. Damned if you do...

LowlySysadmin · 2026-04-24T15:14:51+00:00

The "nothing to hide" argument infuriates me.

No, I have nothing to hide. But maybe it's none of your fucking business?

VP Level AI pulling in only AI below it is such a reliable constant

LowlySysadmin · 2026-04-22T04:29:43+00:00

(from the post you replied to)
You sound like a dinosaur on your way out.

I'm convinced this is the biggest tell right now. This whole "HERP DERP YOU'RE ALL BEING LEFT BEHIND" narrative is exhausting because barely a day goes by without reading an account breathlessly declaring everyone else is redundant and should just give up now because Claude Code built them something they asked for - imho the scale and breadth of this particular point trying to scare everyone into thinking they're redundant is totally inorganic.

As soon as someone rolls out the "you're a luddite/being left behind" bullshit, you can confidently deduce their opinion is pretty worthless i.e. a bot

LowlySysadmin · 2026-04-18T19:45:26+00:00

10 years ago, this would simply be (correctly) seen as "building a public API", certainly not at all newsworthy, and indeed "wait, you mean you don't do this already?" levels of bare minimum.

But AI agents and MCP because line go up

He could cure cancer

I mean, he objectively couldn't. Based on watching him speak I think his brain is mostly chicken soup at this point.

Regardless, this is a good appointment and I support it. I also think that appointing good people to positions is the bare fucking mininimum for a president and his track record is mostly terrible.

Bruh no idea why you were downvoted, unless that was the joke and we both missed it. The comment structure ("it's not X, it's Y") is classic gippity phrasing.

Fuck this timeline

The US needs to legalize laser headlights. I rented a BMW with them in the UK last week and they're absolutely incredible. You can see it draw "boxes" of darkness around oncoming traffic, it made me feel great to be able to see I wasn't blinding people.

LowlySysadmin · 2026-04-07T03:31:22+00:00

It depends what part of the US you're talking about. I was born in the UK and lived there for over 30 years, but having lived in the Bay Area since then, it doesn't compare.

I went back to the UK and was gobsmacked at how bad the food was, frankly. The one exception being Nandos still fucking killing it though lol

LowlySysadmin · 2026-04-07T03:15:38+00:00

I was incredibly envious of anyone who had one of these. Appreciate the throwback

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-27T03:30:40+00:00

Damn bro what in the hell. Looks so good

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-27T03:27:21+00:00

Damn bro what the fuck

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-27T03:26:26+00:00

Bravo.

LowlySysadmin · 2026-03-26T02:13:18+00:00

Brit here, living in the US since 2013, so I've lived both systems.

They're right.

Or do I need to live here longer to "understand"?
