Yesterday a couple Congressmen introduced a bill that would cap utility CEO bonuses if they raise utility rates higher than inflation and, at least as designed, makes some other information available about the ratio of CEO to median worker pay.

I know there's a lot of other massive problems with "AI," but as a techie and a PC builder I am GODDAMNED FUCKING SICK of some stupid hype bubble designed to fleece investors and nothing else ruining my hobby.

Your crypto shit took all the video cards. Your "AI" took GPUs *and* RAM.

Fuck you all.

She looked out. The profile of a demon lord decorated the city's skyline.

She sighed; did the pose. The goddess lifted her, transformed her into a magical girl.

She beat the demon into a pulp, then faced the harder battle: to return to her seventy-year old body, with aching knees and knuckles.

Reminder for the winter disease season: DO NOT PUT TAP OR EVEN BOTTLED WATER UP YOUR NOSE

You need to use distilled water or thoroughly boiled water in a neti pot or sinus cleaner. You do not want to give yourself brain-eating amoebas

This is unironcially one of my favorite scenes in that book. 😂 When I read it after Donna wrote it I laughed and I laugh every time. 6 people with guns pointed at each other and that crazy fucker is eating apples like he's attending the theater.
There's a bit in Deal with the Devil where everyone is pointing a gun at everyone else, and Gray is just standing there, eating some freeze-dried apples and casually observing the incipient violence.

That is how you know Gray is the scariest one.
as a small person, I’ve learned a core survival strategy is knowing how to come off as genuinely insane when threatened

you do a big thing. you post about big thing. people get excited about big thing. you assume everybody knows big thing. you feel weird continuing to talk about big thing because you don't want to be annoying.

then your friend comes in weeks later like "wait! you did big thing???" and it's nice.

The term “unskilled worker” was invented to make it seem normal that people working 40+ hours a week are still living paycheck to paycheck.

It’s not normal AND it’s not acceptable.

Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth.

According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines.

Well worth reading.
Scoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.
Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.

I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

The place I work for has a private health insurance plan with no network. Theoretically I can see any doctor. In practice many are confused about it and I have to convince them they'll get paid. Some still refuse to take me. The idea that people could shop around for the cheapest care is laughable.

It is intensely funny to me that tech bro CEOs on an annual salary of 15 petabillion dollars think data centres can go in space because it's very cold but actually they would get obscenely hot because heat won't radiate into the vacuum of space

A lesson I am forever relearning!
One of my big light bulbs of this year was realizing that all of my training plans have been too hard with the end result that I don't stick to them because I get injured.

If I go easy, I actually do it.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Update to the PDF update:

Dropbox/Drive/Notion apparently do not like it when hundreds of people try to download the same file at the same time.

Gotta figure out another solution and send out a third email.
