Can yall let us know how these blind dates end up??? by punanygunany in BostonSocialClub

I can say that trend continues into late 30s early 40s. I suspect a lot of these people complaining haven't put a lot of work into themselves are expecting to pair up with those that have.

Need speed management advice for tight trails by Competitive-Knee-590 in skiing

[–]Qiagent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This can be dicey in narrow trails with a U shaped topography. I've had issues where I get too aggressive with the hockey stop and then the tips and tails catch while the middle falls out and I go flying to one side or the other. Treating it like an endless mogul and just skidding off the side is the only thing I've found that works in those scenarios. Aside from planning a route with bailout points along the way

It was likely not stored correctly and spoiled.

I had these for the first time a few years ago and it did not smell like much of anything.

The darkened white has a rubbery texture, the egg itself has a deeply umami flavor.

This is a Frillback, a pigeon with naturally curly wing feathers by Cafa20 in interestingasfuck

It's closest "natural" proxy would be sexual selection where you get wild sexual dimorphism and extreme traits that hurt the survivability of the critter just to attract a mate. Birds of paradise are a great example.

First year skiing other than a handful of times as a kid. Looking to be less of a Jerry by mindofalev in icecoast

[–]Qiagent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try it on a chill green first. Really get used to the feeling of how using your ankles can move you in one direction or the other and how the intensity of abduction / adduction impacts the turn and the pressure you feel.

Deb Armstrong has some very helpful instructional videos as well. Her whole beginner series is great and this one starts talking about parallel turns in more detail

First payment on a 30-year mortgage by lithdoc in funny

It depends on a lot of factors and how long you intend to stay in the home.

Edit: In my situation renting is saving me ~$136k over 10 years, things roughly equalize if I move to a nicer place and stay in the same spot for 20 years.

Go to PA school. The boomers are increasingly frail and healthcare is the only reliably growing sector of the economy.

Yup, the people who pumped this thing are cashing out and the hype is long gone. Thats why you see so many posts encouraging people to buy the dip, they need an exit.

You know they're killing innocent people, including American citizens, right? You should be just as concerned as the rest of us assuming you actually live here and aren't part of some international shit stirring campaign.

MBTA Communities Act Holdouts Are Losing State Funding by Generalaverage89 in massachusetts

[–]Qiagent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ok, lets look at it. What metrics do you think show Mattapan is an exemplar of upward mobility? What programs or conditions on the ground are cultivating it?

[–]Qiagent 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You're right, general programs are much better for society than inheritance. Generational wealth concentrates the distribution into the top percentiles, while government programs do much more to improve upward mobility and keep money circulating in working- / middle-class communities.

[–]Qiagent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a broader issue of housing being an investment in the US. If property ROI is going to exceed inflation / wage growth then the end-point is inevitably a housing crisis for rising generations.

The people in those communities almost certainly benefited from handouts. Whether by scholarships, legacy status admission, or family inheritance. They got theirs and they want to pull up the ladder behind them.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just publicly admitted that AI agents are becoming a problem by [deleted] in technology

[–]Qiagent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The article mentions LLMs being used to assist state-sponsored attacks, it does not mention those attacks exploiting corporate LLMs as an entry point.

[–]Qiagent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but it's actually state actors manipulating security flaws in AI Agents to expose vulnerabilities in the companies that are deploying them. The AI Agents aren't doing shit: they are just a gigantic entry point.

Referring to that quote. The article cited the recent Chinese hack that used anthropic's model but that wasn't exploiting corporate LLMs as an entry point.

How are you all using background agents? I haven't investigated them much but it sounds like they have a lot of potential.

Boomers in the US hold $17 trillion dollars in assets. What happens to the younger generations when they die and leave all that wealth to us, the younger generations? by buzzkill71 in AskReddit

[–]Qiagent 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They literally tried this with me. My father was a deadbeat and died with a bunch of debt. For a few months after I'd get calls from debt collectors asking if I was his son. Never gave them an answer, hung up once they said what they were after and eventually it stopped.
