“hey, boss man created a JIRA ticket for the revolution, they wanna know how many story points we think that will be.” 😂

Holy shit it’s AGILE…

Industrial diamonds have always been on the cheap and that industry is far removed from the jewelry/gem industry, in fact a large majority of diamonds that are mined aren’t gem grade, they’re industrial grade. It’s been growing and advancing despite the jewelry/gem market starting to fall.

Also because newer generations just aren’t sold on diamonds being a luxury item anymore. Your average Joe just isn’t paying their rent or more on a diamond engagement/wedding ring like they used to because, well, that’s their rent payment or mortgage for something that’s gonna lose value the second they walk out of the store.

Honestly out of all 12 steps it’s the first step that actually hits the hardest.

“We admitted we were powerless over alchohol (although you could substitute alcohol for anything really)—that our lives had become unmanageable.”

As my shrink used to say “the hardest part of overcoming a problem or mistake is admitting you have a problem/made a mistake.”

God… Imagine being in the middle of an important call for say discussing family affairs for a dying family member and you just hear “there will be a 30 second advertisement break in 1 minute.”… I’d probably pop a blood vessel.

Ive actually been experimenting with using aquatic snails like nerites, ramshorns and pond/bladder snails to help control algae and detritus buildup in hydroponics.

So far pond/bladder snails have proven to be ineffective as they tend to feed on the plant roots as much as anything else but ramshorns have proven pretty successful.

A WELL TRAINED AI can be a very useful tool. However the AI models that corporations want to use aren’t exactly what I’d call “well trained” because that costs money. So they figure “we’ll just let it learn by doing. Who cares if people get hurt in the meantime. We’ll just blame the devs for it being bad.”

That’s probably the point. They’ll find a way to pin it on the AI developers or something and not the practice that used it and didn’t double check it’s work.

Although I feel like this is just the first step. Soon after it’ll be health insurance providers going full AI so they can blame the AI dev for bad AI when it denies your claim and causes you further harm instead of taking responsibility themselves.

Yea id either get what I wanted to see which was essentially just shit posting and wood working videos or, more usually the case, it would be nothing but Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan and half baked conspiracy videos taking about DEW and wildfires.

I’ve learned one thing in my time on the internet.

If there is a will, there is a way and yo ho fiddle dee dee they sure will find it.

Wind or Nuclear.

I get that nuclear is a Boogeyman for some but it really is one of the better options for taking a step in the right direction and getting us closer to less oil dependency.

It’s a matter of finding where the line between cost and user satisfaction meet.

Like sure you could limit all videos to 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 1080p but most everyone now wants everything 120fps @ 2160p which takes up dozens of gigs per video and eats up bandwidth.

It’s great because nobody can figure out who may be doing it.

There’s a running theory that it’s the same graffiti artist that had been doing anti-corpo stuff during Occupy WallStreet like some kind of ancap banksy but again, they haven’t been caught nor identified.
