You think there’s going to be a Hollywood? Maybe there might be a Tuberwood.

More belt and road usury?

I recently saw a video of AI designing an engine, and then simulating all the toolpaths to be able to export the G code for a CNC machine. I don’t know how much of what I saw is smoke and mirrors, but even if that is a stretch goal it is quite significant.

I broke into a base once. My buddy and I climbed two barbed wire fences to get back onto base after going out drinking. I was unscathed but my buddy tore his shorts up pretty bad. It turned out we were on the golf course. It was 7am in the summer and the sun was coming up and we were getting hot, plus the booze was starting to wear off.

We ended up stealing a golf cart from the corral, driving it to the local base McDonalds and going through the drive thru with it. Once we got our McMuffins we ditched the golf cart in the parking lot and went to go crash in our barracks rooms. Thank god security was busy that morning. I totally would have gotten a DUI for that golf cart.

he’s the symptom incurred by a mental disease that so many people seem to have.

It’s basically a new religion, right? If this what fills the vacuum when we let go of the old religions… Is it an improvement? It certainly makes me want to be less critical of your average Christian/Jew/Muslim/Flying Spaghetti Monster worshipper.

I feel like we’re getting to the point that this needs to be an election deciding issue. It won’t be this upcoming election, but probably the one after where the presidency isn’t on the line. We need to ignore republican/democrat talking points and elect based on a will to completely revamp the system. Obama tried but it didn’t go far enough. Once its bad enough that people are willing to cross party lines to fix it, then you’ll see change, and I (probably too optimistically) think we’re almost there.

The episode of South park where they walk into this 22nd century insurance building and ask to make a claim. They get sent to the “claims office” and it’s like they went back in time to the 1980s with dot matrix printers, rotary dial phones, and fax machines.

Anti-perspirant causes breast cancer. You look at data for Japan back in the 90’s-2000s and breast cancer was like 80 times less prevalent in Japan vs the US. Now Japanese are starting to use it more and breast cancer instances are raising to be more on-par with the US. The NIH did a study that was inconclusive so everyone assumes its not true. However, if you read the study you realize exactly how inconclusive it is, and that the answer was truly more along the lines of: “We don’t know”.

So you’ve seen X-rays of both?

Israel might have gotten word that one of the pagers got flagged at an airport X-ray or something. If you wait long enough it will eventually get figured out.

How did the compromised pagers not trigger warnings at airport X-rays? I guess lithium batteries and C4 look similar?

What’s really hard is getting a 5 year old to understand this before you run out of energy from trying to hold their seat and run at the same time.

The DC Mayor position is so corrupt usually. Anyone old enough to remember Marion Barry? I don’t know who it is now but last time I lived in DC the mayor was Vincent Gray and he even looked corrupt. He looks like Snidley Whiplash and Joe Jackson (Michael’s dad) had a baby.

Order some joke/fake lottery tickets. One of the ones where every ticket wins $30k. Drop one on his driveway before he heads to work in the AM for him to find. I’ve only done this to two people and they both fell hook, line, and sinker for it. One lady was calling her husband to come pick up the winning ticket to keep it safe.

There is an old army manual that says if you are ever forced to work for the enemy, try to push as many things as possible into committee decisions, because it looks like its helping, but also slows everything down to a crawl/halt.

It’s the ones in the middle who sway one way or another. Trump is being ungracious by continuing to post about how horrible Biden has been (in his opinion). Its very un-presidential on Trump’s part, and shows the real lack of class that he is well known for. This is the kind of thing that pushes people in the middle one way or the other. It also demonstrates that he has trouble keeping his mouth shut even when he know that running his mouth is going to hurt him.

Gavin newsome: NOOOOOOOO!!!

He said years ago that the homeless issue was his number one problem, and its gotten worse and worse in CA. It’s up like 70% in Sacramento, which is his backyard. We can do better than that, I know we can.

This video is a year old, they’ve made a lot of progress since then.

So am I to take it from your inference that the Russian Lemmy site is called Lemmygrad?
