- Comment on Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam Altman 1 day ago:
We desperately need upgrades to our energy infrastructure. Production and even moreso, distribution are in desperate need. It doesn’t help that huge chunks of our existing production are being gobbled up by datacenters. We are also at least a decade behind China in clean energy production, and we have an excess of weapons grade plutonium. All of the above makes giving access to these resources to companies developing new forms of energy production make sense.
THAT SAID, I have zero trust or confidence in the current administration’s ability to govern or manage this process safely and securely. I also have very little faith in technology disruptors and their capabilities, diligence, or discipline to manage such a dangerous resource.
My worry is not Skynet with nukes as much as it is American weapons grade plutonium ending up in the hands of someone with a deep desire to create and use nuclear weapons (functional or dirty).

As long as you respect others’ gender and sexuality, you are under no obligation to feel sexually attracted to them the same way they aren’t obligated to feel sexually attracted to you. Love and respect for all is the bottom line.

I cannot abide by this. I am appalled and disgusted! It’s “an” not “a”. Emoji use does not excuse poor grammar.

The date is still readable. If they are too young to read then it isn’t a matter of perspective, they just don’t know anything.
- Comment on The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums. 1 week ago:
No. Everyone always focuses on the flashy stuff like datacenters but the truth is that the most vulnerable, overtaxed, and underfunded weak-spot for the United States is the electric grid.
- Comment on Mom they're fighting again 1 week ago:
I lived in the US Virgin Islands as a kid. Our back yard had a seemingly endless supply of mangoes, bananas, avocado, lime, oranges (the real stuff, not the engineered shit we eat in the mainland), grapefruit, bread fruit, acerola, plantains, and pigeon peas. It wasn’t even that big a yard. Shit just grows.

Underripe is when it’s nice and full of water. Best when thirsty. Dry and ripe, best when hungry.

When I was young I lived in the Carribean for a couple years. Picking tree ripened fruit from the backyard was awesome. I’ve never had a mango as tasty as those.

💯
- Comment on Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that too, but my complaint is about the system that makes the rich while simultaneously convincing us to inadvertently participate in and strengthen our own economic slavery.
- Comment on Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years 3 weeks ago:
This isn’t the rich, that’s what makes it so sad. These funds are managed by vultures, yes, but these portfolios are quickly bundled and turned into financial instruments, which in turn portions of them are rolled into other funds, which in turn are sold to groups like teachers pension funds, or fractions sold on Robinhood using fancy names that disguise what is in them. These funds are sold not to the rich but to those trying to stay ahead of the meat grinder that is the American capitalist economy. The rich get fees that are completely divorced from how well the funds perform, meanwhile working folk are inadvertently investing in the same machine that is making it impossible for them to afford to buy a home.
