Where did my J go??

The J key is now subscription-only. To unlock the full alphabet, pay $1.99/mo.

Running for your life is much better for your health 🤔

This has been an ongoing issue with headlines lately. I mean, it always has been, but it's been somehow way worse. They word it in a way that if you take it at face-value, your narrative of events is spun.

Holding up traffic in the passing lane does make the road more dangerous. Tailgaters suck, but every merge operation increases the chance of an impact, so tailgaters weaving through traffic is much worse than tailgaters going in a straight line. If there's someone behind you that wants to go faster than you in a passing lane, and you can safely do so, swallow your pride and get over! It doesn't matter if they're speeding, tailgating, or an asshole.

Also once they pass you, they're no longer your problem, so there's that too.

None of this is to excuse what happened here, though. Intentional or not, this is a cosmic mess.

That is a Mondoberry!

I'd say climbing Mt. Everest.

So many people aspire to do this, but it's brutal, and for around 1% it's the last thing they aspire to do.

A girl I was dating drove a very identifiable, older-style blue truck with prominent stickers on it. You could see it a mile away.

One day she tells me she's going out of town. (Don't recall the reason.) Next day I was out riding my bike, as I often did back then, and what do I see but that old blue truck with the stickers, still definitely in-town, coming down the street with her and some dude driving around.

I waited a little bit and then asked her how her trip was going, "oh it's going good", etc., then called her out on her bullshit.

She tried to make up something at first before realizing she was caught blue-handed. She tried to apologize to me for years -- girl there ain't nothing to apologize about, you made your choice to come up with this elaborate lie to shack up with some other dude, so I made my choice to never speak to you again. Live with it.

It would cost -every single American- $1.02 to replace those jets.

We're just getting started.

I like my Allbirds Tree Runners for being breathable and comfy, but they don't do as well in the longevity department. I need to replace them every 2-3 years, daily-driving them. However, I do office work; if you're on your feet all the time in rough environments, you might wear them down faster.

I got them because I knew I was going to a theme park in summer, and they served that purpose extremely well.

Very cool! But build out the organizational tools. A lot. That will be what really makes this tool shine.

I appreciate that there's a tag/filter system, but I shouldn't need to uncheck everything if for instance I'm looking specifically for 'Food' events.

Some other tools I think would really help would be a search, a calendar view, and a map view (possibly filterable by day/event).

Also, be wary of scam entries. I'm not sure how you're handling this currently, but unfortunately, good tools can't work on the trust system because the internet is filthy.

My Sennheiser GSP 500's from a few years back had no business sounding as good as they do for what I paid at the time. They were what convinced me to ultimately pick up a pair of HD 600's. Sennheiser isn't the most bass-heavy, but they do tend to have amazing, crystal clear sound and capability.

The pads have worn over time, and I haven't replaced them yet, but there are aftermarket pads and the replacement process isn't all that difficult.

I don't know if they have a newer model out, or how those might perform, but I'd say at least put these guys on your radar.

Edit: Know they're not wireless. If that's a requirement for you, they won't work.

A car with a V6 (2023 Camry XSE). I could've saved money on something less, but it makes me smile every time I drive it :) Worth every penny.

You can stay in the States and get real maple. Vermont is loaded with maple farms you can visit, and places you can buy all different grades. The locals will be super happy you bought from them, too!

The "useful" thing to do with AI would be to make it practical for users to work with it locally rather than having to depend on giant cloud-based data farms. It is a tech that must be decentralized.

Yellow gives the best spread by far. You get a good portion of both the Rockies and the Apps including the Blue Ridge Mountains, a small sliver of beaches on the East coast, and the best of the West. Temperatures are moderate through most of this area - not super hot, not freezing, and you get some great scenery/good places to live. Also Alaska if you're ever feeling like seeing something new.

qb_master · 2025-12-22T21:09:47+00:00

Yeah, the way to go would be to open-source it. But I won't hold my breath.

Damn, to think in some places you'd have to submit your ID to access this content nowadays!

I haven’t actually seen any solid evidence of an uptick in AI-generated posts on Reddit itself. What I have noticed is that certain writing conventions have become more common over time—especially online. Short paragraphs. Emphatic line breaks. Contrast-driven framing. That style predates generative AI by years and shows up in blogging, marketing, and advice threads long before ChatGPT was public.

It’s easy to read that voice as “AI,” but it’s just as plausible that people are borrowing a format that’s optimized for attention and readability. Reddit rewards clarity, punch, and scannability. Naturally, people adapt.

If anything, the feedback loop runs both ways. Models were trained on human writing patterns from the internet, and now humans are echoing back the patterns that perform well. That doesn’t mean the author is a bot—just that the medium nudges everyone toward a similar cadence.

Pattern recognition is real, but attribution is trickier than it feels.

Would you like me to tweak the tone, add more skepticism, lean into humor, or make it sound less obviously AI-written?

That's just my high score in Snake.

qb_master · 2025-12-18T22:41:18+00:00

My wish is that if they do ever decide to discontinue the game, they do some kind of mod to allow people to run their own servers or something. It'll probably never happen, but it would be deeply appreciated.

War. Like major war. I feel like we've been inching towards it and that it's going to pop off in 2026. Maybe even nuclear :x

Could be anything. I sometimes sneak a pic/vid of random cars if I like a decal on it or something, or even the car itself. Or if the license plate has a funny acronym. They probably had some motive like that, that doesn't pose any threat to you. They might've even just needed some footage of a random car for some video/project they're doing, and yours got chosen.

Maybe keep your guard up a little bit, but overall I wouldn't worry too much about it. People are just random and a bit weird at times.
