My goal before the end of the year is to own 4% of the base T206 baseball card set.
This is a stupid goal to have, BTW.

NGL, I'm super glad Adam Gontier is back with Three Days Grace, and I actually think they're better with a two headed monster approach to vocals. Matt Walst is no slouch, and they compliment each other well.

The quality and speed of Qwen3:30B is pretty nuts, even without running it on a GPU. Once we figure out how to get AI past brute force problem solving through LLMs, it's accuracy is going to skyrocket while dropping power consumption exponentially.

The definition of self control is knowing you could do this, WANTING to do this, and choosing not to because you need to do your Iron Man Mk.III armor first. forum.finescale.com/t/saturn-v-l...

Holy shit, the Imgur user base has gone into outright war with the new corporate owners who fired all the US-based operations folks and broke the site over the weekend. This is hilarious, and exactly what they deserve.

Man, I'm really glad I picked up my leatherbound V20 Vampire the Masquerade book when I did, because they are IMPOSSIBLE to find now. Unless you don't mind spending $500 on a French version.

Remember when if your kid downloaded a song, the MPAA thought financially ruining you for life was appropriate and got the DMCA passed specifically to make it easier?
I'm mentioning that for no reason at all.

That frustration when you are more technically proficient than another company's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tier support, but you have to go through each level because there's no "I'm very good at websites" flag to give them.

Man, I forgot how good Tales from the Crypt was, and how many big names were in it before they were really big. The Cryptkeeper animatronics really hold up, too. Shame it's so tangled up in copyright hell.

Evergy wants to raise rates on Kansas residents by $196 million, or roughly 10%. Between 2023-24, Evergy paid out $1.17 BILLION in dividends to investors ($2.48/share in 23, $2.595 in 24, across 230.4 million shares). But we're the ones who have to pay more for electricity. Yup, makes total sense.

Whomever decides to run for president in the next election only needs to run on a single platform plank: Releasing all evidence from the Maxwell and Epstein cases.
