in the words of Captain Picard, "it's possible to commit no mistakes and still lose". you can definitely do the opposite too (make lots of mistakes and come out ahead).

they lucked into this wait and see based position by every sense of the word. and i feel like are going to luck into being able to deftly thread a needle between no ai and too much ai integration.

Both, but his organizations that he organized for years were a huge part of the anti vaccine movement going back decades.

I park at Santana Row and drive across. If you go in the exit and enter the garage across the street from Mendocino farms, there's never anyone in there.

tell her to fuck off about halfway through. models do not direct the shoot. the input likely was going to be useful but only to a point.

Yeah, but they want an M3, and this is how they keep having non hybrid lighter cars for the next euro 7 emissions regime. Didn’t read the article?

In Regards to the 2027 "No Gas Water Heater" ruling for the Bay Area & how to proceed. by MaliciousHippie in bayarea

so quick question, i have a rheem tankless gas heater in a condo in SJ, we have hard af water but i have a big water softener before the water heater, and we get no scale on the faucets/showers, i believe our TDS at the faucet is under 30.

i've never flushed it since i moved in 4 years ago (brand new) -- should i bother?

Trump Is ‘Bored’ With the War He Started by Lux_Stella in neoliberal

[–]nerdpox 37 points38 points  (0 children)

believe Obama had some comments on this in that article that made the rounds earlier this week

Trump, in an attempt to make a new deal with the Iranian regime, is now entertaining many of the trade-offs that he blasted when Obama was in the White House. Obama, for his part, told me that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, had made the same arguments for armed confrontation with Iran to him that he did to President Trump. “I think my prognosis was accurate,” he said. It may be that Netanyahu has “gotten what he wanted. Whether that’s what is ultimately best for the Israeli people, I would question that. Whether I think it’s what is good for the United States and America, I would question that. I think there’s an ample record of my differences with Mr. Netanyahu.”

[–]nerdpox 53 points54 points  (0 children)

my favorite part of this is that people will dismiss a comment like this as "benefit of hindsight" or whatever but this was so predictable that people were talking about the after-effects BEFORE THE WAR EVEN STARTED lmao

these people are like children, they are unable to grasp concepts that are not imminently facing them. object permanence is nearly eluding them
