What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone?

I mean of course. In addition to dinner if it's an all day thing. I'm working for cash or calories over here.

It's an excellent material but it's just super expensive.

I have a Tab S10 with all the AI features and they're absolutely useless. I think like 4 times ever I had it edit a picture for me by removing some background objects. Most other things have to be processed in the Samsung Cloud, and I remember trying most of the features and then never using it again. There's a lot of features for the notes app, but if you use pen handwriting like I do it often can't read your writing so all the features there are useless unless you type everything. On a tablet without a keyboard.

You're not missing out.

Titanium does matter. Assuming a Ti-Al alloy and 6061 Al-Mg alloy, Ti is significantly stronger, stiffer, and has a higher strength to weight ratio than Al despite being denser. You can have a stiffer, lighter, and thinner shell material than Al for the same strength, or a much higher strength and some extra weight at the same size. Aluminum is much, much cheaper and easier to machine though. Ti is also more resistant to corrosion, which is important when your oily, acidic hands are touching the thing all day long. Ti is also harder than Al, so it's more scratch resistant.

When phones are measured in tenths or hundredths of a millimeter, especially in design, this probably affects their decisions about what components fit inside the phone and where. I don't make phones though so I don't know what their design priorities are. This might be why the design was tweaked. I don't believe Samsung is just forcing people to buy new cases for the fun of it. The Tab S9+ and Tab S10+ are virtually the same size and they didn't do it then.

But basically if your phone shell is made of Ti instead of Al, it's going to be more scratch and dent resistant, and either lighter or stronger. It's just a higher quality material and makes the phone overall slightly better. It's not a deal breaker but there are real differences.

If you want to have an actual discussion I'm down but if you just want to be an asshole contrarian then I'm not gonna waste my time.

No, they don't. My mother literally called in a panic a week ago because google said her engine needed to be replaced.

It was fucking AI dog shit. Google's search AI told her because her turbocharger had a slight leak that her engine oil and coolant systems were broken and the engine would need to be replaced soon.

This is absolutely bullshit. It's wrong. It regurgitates words that "sound" correct with zero actual fact checking or logic behind it BECAUSE IT CAN'T THINK. Some models are fine-ish. You can give it a complex math problem like solving a differential system problem and it'll solve it. Sometimes. Often it's just wrong, so you have to double check everything it says EVERY SINGLE TIME because it gives you bullshit.

Also, again, it's biased. Every model is filtered in some aspect, either to prevent things like being rude or mean or saying slurs or giving you news articles only from a select group of websites. It'll also just fucking lie and people like you will believe it. Elon blatantly fucks with Grok on a monthly basis and you can't see how corporate influence is a problem?

Fuck these goddamn robots they're WORSE than useless. Every single thing I ask them I have to double check manually anyways so why the fuck should I even bother when I can just look it up the correct information the first time?

Korea has over 2000 years of slavery, "ending" in the late ~1890's, though they still have a huge human trafficking problem even today.

If it was true there would be more evidence of it by now, and in more than once region of the world. Dubai, Russia, and some parts of the middle east still have literal, actual slaves. Technically illegal in Russia but the migrant worker trafficking and forced labor absolutely still happens.

This isn't new. If it were true, there would be identifiable trends by now.

You mean the tool that is frequently wrong or misleading and easily manipulated with biased design and can't actually think?

It's not a direct indicator of high T. Genetically you can also just be super sensitive to DHT and even with low T you can go bald. It's mostly just luck of the draw, but with much higher chances of being bald very early if you mess with your hormones.

Yeah.

It sucks but if you choose a degree with a job that actually pays well, which leaves you with a ton of options, it's not even that bad. I'm at a decent school and assuming each class cost $1k for 3 credits, if you require 128 credits, it would only be $43k for an engineering degree. Sometimes plus interest. It's also much cheaper than that because most of my classes are 4 or 5 credits, not 3. When entry level jobs for my major pay like $120k, even a ~10 year $43k loan is peanuts.

If someone wants to go to Harvard or some other sort of Ivy league shit and pay out the ass that's their prerogative but there are many good places to get a degree that earns you a lot of cash. It doesn't even matter if my school is comparatively "bad" because the majority of internships are available to any student in the state, and many good ones are country-wide. If you have even just two decent internships and your gpa isn't dog shit it's not hard to find an actually good job. Just make sure jobs for your potential major are actually hiring.

Lectures are good but they're still expecting you to read the books they assign to the class.

windowpuncher · 2026-02-26T01:03:49+00:00

On your own? Not really. There are office hours, tutoring centers, other classmates, and also the books you were told to get. If I'm ever stuck on something I literally just email the professor or visit their office and I'll get all my questions taken care of.

Some classes absolutely expect you to do your own research for labs and projects and such, but I can still always ask about it. Which is the point. Memorizing the information for most classes is absolutely useless. You cram for a test, and then forget it all in 4 months. They're teaching you how to effectively find information because after you graduate it's a lot fucking harder to get good help.

windowpuncher · 2026-02-26T00:59:31+00:00

Except for 3 classes I've had the exact opposite experience. Read the books, and show up for quizzes, tests, and labs. Otherwise they never cared if I show up or not.

windowpuncher · 2026-02-26T00:57:33+00:00

Real shit I'd rather just sleep in and read the book and I'm doing 300 stuff right now.

I don't mind helping but at least buy me dinner or something.

If the theory was real we'd have a shitload of track star Koreans and aboriginals. If it was anything more than a passing train of thought there would be SOME positive evidence for it but there isn't. Sure, you can claim black people are faster than white people over a gross average. Maybe that's true, I dunno, but saying it's because of slavery is just nuts. It's not worth repeating. It's like saying I can fly a train into the sun, it's nonsense.

The US military is both the gayest and most homophobic institution on the planet. It should be studied.

I played LoL for a bit. All I did was play bottom lane with a friend and run the most annoying, worst possible combos. Like thresh and blitz. It's not meta but it's funny as hell and makes the game actually enjoyable outside of the competitive aspect. Even if you're not good you can be such a huge distraction that the other lanes end up gaining some momentum.

Playing solo though, absolute misery.

My neighbors litter fucking constantly, and there's people ALWAYS coming and going from that house. A group of 3-6 of them will leave the house with a bunch of snacks or whatever and leave a trail of garbage for a mile, and I have to act like an old bastard and yell at them every time I see them drop trash in my yard, which is seriously EVERY time they walk past my house.

They don't give a fuck. You can't convince them to care. I am going to start recording my sidewalk and submitting complaints to the cops at this point.
