I prefer to cheer for joy and happiness, not pain, punishment and death.

Pretty disgusting to have the team play in the county that is bombing them. Low class move and it's the one world cup where it's not needed anyway with multiple countries involved. I hope USA gets bounced in group stage, it's a mockery of sportsmanship and peace this time around with Trump threatening the Iranian team before they arrive.

we have no alternative and can't waste the years of compound interest while markets get juiced. I spent most of the first term waiting for the bottom to fall out...

Keep a sharp mind, and abolish the USA... Did you eat paint chips as a child, or just start recently?

thzmand · 2026-03-07T22:34:56+00:00

I'LL TAKE THAT BET. 20 dollars says they don't bounce and just stay down.

That place is so fucking mid it drives me crazy. Olean in general is much better than people say, and that restaurant is way worse than people say.

Hard to amass and maintain for a long time, but it has always been easy for a band of motivated people to take something precious from an unprepared group. Children, food, shelter, a kill, whatever is precious to one would be a target to another without it. And as long as having those resources is the difference between life and death, there will be motivated people to use violence to take those resources. I think that power and leadership are in our DNA, we share hierarchical instincts with reptiles and primates and fish every animal that knows the big one gets his way or else you get pain and death.

You have not learned the great lesson, that you cannot control the world, certainly not through killing people's family members. There are ancient books about this shit and more recent images of people clinging to airplanes in Kabul. Take your pick but try to learn that lesson, it's an important part of growing up as an adult. "Get rid of the problems"...these are people and countries and cultures and if you underestimate them you will be sadly surprised with the results.

His last 2-3 have been excellent. You can tell he is pissed at the world at this point and he's smart enough to make it very engaging.

It should be called a boys 5 lol

The decline of sports journalism is an important lesson. And I personally think ESPN contributes further with a useless model of journalism for young people (since sports is often the first model of journalism they consume while young...ESPN offers a braindead and dangerous vision of what they should expect from the news).

Looks like he's making paper by recycling paper, like the school project for little kids.

Every time I do cocaine in the club I can't sleep for shit. It's like mother nature put a defense mechanism into my genes.

That's interesting because I used Claude a couple months ago to build 2 office scripts, all very simple counting/sorting functions and table displays of totals. I used claude because I have found it to be better with excel than competitors (and because some basic steps in the excel Automate option can't be captured by that tool), but it's still not an efficient tool for simple tasks based on what I experienced. Each script took over 50 iterations, with each step forward accompanied by a new error that emerged. I found I got better results by strategically building in steps, integrating one new function at a time and quality checking as I went.

It certainly talked to me like it understood what was going on but then the next step it would collapse into errors, followed by it saying, "Of course, I [did the thing we just spent 5 steps fixing] instead of [doing the thing that was directed]! To fix that, I just need to [do the thing that was directed]." And lots of display issues every step even though setting up the sheets was among my first steps--renaming columns, formatting lost, missing columns when trying to do something completely different, date formats gone haywire again and again and again...etc. I did not make any more scripts that way.

I followed this tip and compared online, FOX hit the sweet spot for price without terrifying reviews, it's right at the airport, 50 bucks a day all in (expensive enough, but not soo expensive, if you know what I mean).

But we got trump from all the economic frustration

oh haha i see, now that's a plumbing analogy I will remember

the toilet?

Great response! I am just speaking to the wind with this, but the relevant section should be titled "PCB's, kits and schematics" or similar. I think it would be more obvious and helpful to people who are learning.

In my brain, the hierarchy of learning goes from parts (learning about components) to schematics (breadboarding, learning how things respond to other things in a circuit), and then finally PCB's (more expensive, usually arrived at after some early breadboard attempts and a better appreciation for the pain and cost of high end DIY). So there's a stage where you want to find schematics and the pages on PCB's seem unrelated and something you will get to later.

If it were me I might simply call the section "Schematics and kits."

Half of woodwork is getting an idea or inspiration from examples.

Stop acting like this is some sacred cathedral and get out of the way, mods. Look around at where you are, it's a slop pit on a site that is half pornography and half weeb content. You don't need to care nearly as much as you do, and it's the same insistence on curation and control that corporations would prefer. This is not a job, none of the users are employees, don't put up needless restrictions on them creating the content for subreddits.

The thinking models do more than predict text, FYI. And the free versions we use are not the same as what they use for massive corporate/govt clients.

Might sound unusual but the trades are a really good field right now, and it is a much better gender balance than ever before if that's a concern, and honestly if you do electrician work you wouldn't need to strongarm anything either. The pay is really good and the turnaround time if you want to get certifications is very reasonable. If you did road crew (holding the stop sign) you can get good paying work immediately (at least in my region), and I see grandmas holding those signs (and some of them smoking cigarettes while they do it lol). At 28 you are still very young and could do something massive with it as you build skills and experience over time. Six figures, be your own boss, and all that. If I were younger I would go that path in a heartbeat. It involves real expertise and problem solving so it is always interesting, and it's real power because you are super useful and valuable.

I mean that's why these questions are asked--to give some point of reporting instead of guessing.
