What the fuck?

Approximately the same thing as if you had a mole of moles

Typical rule I’ve seen is don’t date anyone younger than half your age + seven, so for your friend that would be 16. So, it’s right on the borderline.
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 2 weeks ago:
It’s really depends on the scam, but some of them really do pick a random person. Or, rather the autodialer/autotexter that they are using does. I’ve gotten several scam texts in the last week fishing for info.
Further, there is a lot of into out on the web. Some is just an easy look up for name and adddres from a phone number, other data is pulled from breaches that ends up public or for sale.
- Comment on Not stealing 3 weeks ago:
So true. I have two and they’re complete opposites. Every single thing that one is easy about the other is hard. I thought that the second would be easier because I learned some things from the first, but every lesson was useless.

I’m so feeling this this morning. I asked the 4yo if he wanted cereal or yogurt for breakfast. He screams “I’m not hungry! I want mama!”, runs to his room and slams the door. Two minutes later he comes out and punches me in the dick while I’m making lunches.

Considering the names of the types of quarks, I recommend renaming them genderinos.

You mean like git?
- Comment on What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? 1 month ago:
Thanks for the links! Unfortunately the songs from Bioshock Infinite that I’m thinking of aren’t as n the OST due to licensing issues as they are mostly covers of songs still in copyright.

- MechWarrior 2: Ghost Bears Revenge
- BioShock Infinite
- Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
- Comment on Are there any AI services that don't work on stolen data? 1 month ago:
Exactly this. There are plenty of ML/AI systems that build on public datasets, such as AlexNet for image recognition and even some LLMs that are trained on out of copyright documents such as the Project Gutenberg collection. But they almost certainly aren’t what you are looking for.

Congratulations! It was as so good on my OG Gamboy and just as good on my Switch.
- Comment on Oncoliruses: LLM Viruses are the future and will be a pest, say good bye to decent tech. 1 month ago:
You mean trusted Open Source projects.
- Comment on Is the periodic table still getting new additions? 1 month ago:
To expand on this, there aren’t any gaps left so the only new ones will be increasingly heavyweight and have vanishingly short half-lives, which means that they are increasingly difficult to synthesize and detect. In theory there is an island of stability once we can synthesize sufficiently heavy elements, but it seems pretty far off.
- Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek? 1 month ago:
Yup! SNW is one of the few that has an actually good pilot episode.

And does he know why? I’ve had to deal with it too often and it would be really nice to be able to expand RoHS to aerospace.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
That strongly depends on where you live, how much you need, and how good of a home chemist your are. Enough to take down a large building? Hard in most places. Enough to kill a bunch of people in a crowd? Quite easy.

That is a surprisingly strong recommendation. I’m glad everyone was safe, keep it shiny side up.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 2 months ago:
Thanks for the review; I’m glad it’s working out well for you. Time for me to meander out for a test drive.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 2 months ago:
Oh, that’s really handy to know. Thanks!

How do you like it? It’s on my short list for my next car.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
Does a just released mega patch to a 25 year old game count? If so, the 25th Anniversary edition of System Shock 2 is great.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 months ago:
What? I love spending my day going to meetings where I’m quizzed about things that won’t matter next week and writing Jira tickets.

Why not worship nature and wear special hats? Most of the witches I know do both.

- Comment on Generational differences 4 months ago:
It is crazy to me that I can just walk down the street to a store, buy some pot and wave at a cop on the way out. Even crazier is that my kids schools fundraising auction has weed gift baskets donated every year from the local dispensaries.

They met, they just didn’t interact. Kinda like me at a work party.

Buttermilk roasted chicken is delicious, so I assume it’s a similar lactose reaction. And you’d use goats milk because you have goats.
