And this tech goes way beyond merely “reinforced”.
- Comment on US | Kilmar Abrego Garcia is expected to be released from jail only to be taken into immigration custody 2 hours ago:
Sounds like that jail needs about 20,000 people protesting, clogging the hallways, and not fucking allowing it. So far, ICE has been easy to intimidate and unwilling to open fire.
Tennessee is an open carry state. Do with that info what you will.

Hardly. Did you read the article?

I was close!
- Comment on Trump says Nato defence spend rising to 5% of GDP is 'big win' for US and the West 6 hours ago:
Europe seems to be turning inwards on defense spending. In any case, what would you ask the EU to do instead? Almost every intelligence agency is predicting a major threat from Russia in the next few years.

That’s my wife and I getting out of bed. There’s an extra box spring under there are we’re short. Gotta climb up on the side rails.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 8 hours ago:
I’ve got 20 watches and only ever change the Swatch batteries. They’re laughably inefficient. One is an old smart watch, but it needs charged daily and I’m not up to all that.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 8 hours ago:
Only up to $500 though? And if you keep ignoring them, what will you do when you run out of providers? I can’t go to the one hand expert in the area because I owe him money. Same for the CVS doc.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 8 hours ago:
The doctor bill is separate because they’re not hospital employees. The only have privileges to work at a given hospital, not for them.
The separate ER bill is likely some fuckery I’m ignorant of.

You would have a nervous breakdown in my house. Clocks in every room and 20 watches hanging in my room.

Well, that works. But now I got ads again.

Yep. :(
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts 1 day ago:
It’s too damned useful. About every day I check Gemini and ChatGPT for a word or phrase I can’t remember, input some crap and out pops what I was looking for. I use if for a chunk of code I can’t get my head around. It’s the next Google and everyone wants a piece.
OTOH, I do see a sharp downturn in investment as things shake out. Like to dot.com bubble, there will be winners and losers, but you’re spot on. Investors aren’t spazzing out on every single opportunity. Still, gonna be some losers.
We can talk about the dangers of AI all night long, but it’s here to stay.

Just giving the boys some air! Some animals are so damned judgemental.

The bears and coyotes around here hide from me! Even if I try and creep on 'em, they still usually sense me and run.
- Comment on Birthday Gift for Grandma 3 days ago:
Grandma doesn’t mean elderly and blind. I’m 54 and could easily be a grandad. My wife is 54 and is a grandma, has been since she was 49.

Not like they can eat any way. No mouth.
- Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete 4 days ago:
This has been planned for some time. Stop with the conspiracy crap. Yes, Trump does crazy shit to distract, we saw this the first four years. But making every crazy move out to be a distraction is plain bonkers and shows zero thought.

Know what I don’t understand? My wife watches YouTube in bed and I hardly notice ads. Granted, I have my ear plugs in while I read, but I’m not completely tuned out. Ads are rare enough that I’m a bit surprised to notice one.
When I watch YouTube on my PC, without a condom so to speak, fuck me it’s unusable. I simply refuse to engage until uBlock catches up.
All I got is that her content isn’t easily monetized? One one hand, she watching a lot of political news from the Philippines. OTOH, she’s mostly on those dumb crime shows where it’s all white trash confessing to the pigs.
As of this week, I can no longer watch in Firefox and have to go to Edge. Anyone?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
YouTube was working at a massive deficit to capture video streaming. I didn’t mind them trying to “catch up”, but they’ve gone way, way too far.
- Comment on U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse 5 days ago:
In 2022, the Biden Administration passed the Inflation Reduction Act, extending a tax credit that covers 30% of installed system costs through the mid-2030s.
And yet the installations crashed 2-years later. We can see how jacked up it is going forward, but why does the article not address past causes?
- Comment on What if the idea of “life” and “intelligent life” is all relative? 5 days ago:
Have a look at swarm theory. Absolutely fascinating and explains much animal behavior.
Reminds me of the original Battlestar Galactic in the end. They’re watching LA freeways and marveling over the incredible coordination on display. Nope. Swarm theory.
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 5 days ago:
They certainly do. We’re just not invited.
