I love when the storm arrives right as I have to do my outdoor evening chores!

There are basically only two positions about box blades.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use them effectively. Box blades suck.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Suppose you could modify your dog’s brain so that he could do improv comedy. Would he still be your dog? Would you be obligated to attend his shows?

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's a vintage Unimog!

An old Unimog, it's a small cream coloured truck that's shaped like a truck instead of a racecar bed

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

how to protest:
- do not attempt to cross the flood waters
- only use recipes tested by a trusted organization like Ball
- if it expands then immediately stop using it and take it to your local hazmat facility

this feels mean to say but it would be cool if a lot of youtubers developed their skills in terms of reading out loud

jay pico @jpco.io · 1d

tip: when someone says “AI” replace that term with “gigawatt-scale datacenter facility” to see how dumb it sounds. “this gigawatt-scale datacenter facility helped me find a document” sure, computers do that; “this gigawatt-scale datacenter facility is my five closest friends” I don’t think so

Flooded Alaska villages face a storm recovery far tougher than most Americans will ever experience

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa
