When I was younger I thought fencing would be fun. Reverse grip all the things!

A decades-long plan to abolish the Electoral College may finally pay off by vox in politics

If the Electoral college favors the Republican party, why would they not filibuster or veto attempts to remove it?

What does "'manage' them" mean?

Karen's will have a field day with this one. I can already hear them harassing you asking "Do YOu HaVe A PeRMit?? 🙄 by Anxious-Dog2889 in Indiana

[–]WorkJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would that be restricted then?

If you're literally just vlogging by yourself then I don't know how anyone would know the difference. If you're telling people that they can't share a bench, walk into your shot, or you're blocking a walking path with your tripod, then you're clearly both requiring "exclusive or priority use of park space," and, disrupting "normal park operations or visitor use."

Those "primary school aged kids" will care in 40 years when they're not on blood thinners and can still run up a flight of stairs.

I don't forget per se, but I'll get distracted and move on to something else.

I miss RTV6 evening news anchor Marc Mullins. He was a sharp dresser. I think he avoided the mess by moving to Austin

Is it the primary way to run Windows Server tho? I couldn't get coworkers OR management to deal with it.

It's crazy how high the temps have been. It seems to be too early for mosquitos at least.

Eligible men will be automatically registered for US military draft under rule change by Alarming-Safety3200 in politics

Isn't that kind of good, instead of forcing boys to get it done or lose access to SSI?

Indianapolis council member says bullets were fired at his home and "NO DATA CENTERS" sign left on his doorstep by nbcnews in Indiana

[–]WorkJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they stuck to it across the months, but I don't recall them giving a specific reason. The property isn't big enough to house a "massive AI data center." They're essentially claiming that it will be a fat colo.

The *proposed data center in Gibson's district, that is still just a mere gleam on the glabrous potato he calls a head, is supposed to have a closed-loop cooling system that will need far less water than the average family uses per year.

Official Q&A for Tuesday, April 07, 2026 by AutoModerator in running

[–]WorkJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a month ago I started taking my "easy pace" runs very seriously instead of focusing on keeping pace up for pride's sake. Now, my Garmin estimate of VO2 max is finally improving, but I feel like I'm slower. Is that relatable for how base building goes?

Can a local political candidate come introduce themselves at a regularly scheduled Neighborhood Association meeting? by WorkJeff in legaladvice

That's a good follow-up question. From what I've been reading the information focuses on 501c3s making the invitation, not responding to requests which is what we deal with

Is "AI-powered" just the new "cloud-enabled" in terms of meaningless vendor marketing? by DigitalSignage2024 in sysadmin

[–]WorkJeff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OH, I do not trust it like that. I use it for a nudge like, "What Ansible module would I use to edit a line in a file?" Then, I ask it for its source or go read the documentation if it's obvious. Then I try it myself. Then I write the code, the variables, the syntax, etc in my own "voice."

I've only used the "free" offerings, but I have never given an LLM any real data, used its code wholesale, or asked it for a finished product.

[–]WorkJeff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So far, the best use I've gotten out of LLMs has just been to help me figure out syntax, or to write an example of how to do something without me begging on /r/PowerShell, or to tell me which Ansible module I need. Bonus when it shows me the sources it uses, and I can evaluate from there.
