“I’m cooking” and “I’m cooked” are also total opposites.

We still do that today, just with thr patient under anesthesia so they dont freak out about uaving a hole drilled in their skull.
- Comment on Irrational 1 week ago:
The meme wasn’t about imaginary numbers, but irrational numbers like pi or the swuare root of 3. Mathematicaly, those numbers have mever ending decimals that never repeat. But quantum mechanics doesn’t allow for any measurements smaller/more precise than the planck scale. The quantum nature of the universe means that no object in the universe can have an irrational length.
An easy way to picture this is a right triangle. I can make said triangle with two sides that are exactly 1 meter long, all the way down to the planck length. The hypotenuse is theoretically exactly the square root of 2 meteres long, but that is impossible because part of that triangle would have to exist beyond the quantum realm.
- Comment on Google Search adds a “web” filter, because it is no longer focused on web results 1 month ago:
Back in 2006 there wasn’t too much in the way of doing a safe search, at least not that any of our teachers knew about.

No, but i do remember one of the options on the front page always being porn no matter what you searched. My middle school wanted us to use Yahoo search instead of google for pictures because it wouldn’t show Rule 34 content.
- Comment on OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts 1 month ago:
But there were still bots making shit up back then. r/SubredditSimulator was pretty popular for awhile, and repost and astroturfing bots were a problem form decades on Reddit.

The voting block is retirees who only have maybe 10 years left to live at max. They don’t give a fuck what happens long term so long as they can own the libs.
- Comment on The second matchup of the tournament 1 month ago:
Cops use dogs to take down suspects all the time, and those are domesticated animals that know when they will be getting their next meal. Wolves are bigger than 90% of all dogs, and are wild animals that know what it means to be hungry. You aren’t able to beat a wolf in a fight.

How northern are we talking? Our tomatoes didn’t so well last year in Northern Ohio, but the summer before i was absolutely drowning in cherry tomatoes!

- Comment on First human to receive transplanted pig kidney dies 1 month ago:
That’s the problem with using experimental procedures on terminally ill patients. The data is crap because you sont know if the procedure killed them or if they just were never gonna make it. .
- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 1 month ago:
I like to listen to a new album every Friday. You’re streaming platform will recommend “New Albums for you” and just listen to one. Sometimes it’s great,sometimes it isn’t, but it is new and fun to explore.
- Comment on German lawmakers support plans to protect Ukrainian airspace from NATO territory by means of Western air defense 1 month ago:
Do you know how no-fly zones are enforced? There is nothing Russia can do if Germany shoots down a jet that wanders over Macklenberg. Thats why nothing came from Turkey shooting down Russian jets back in 2014. But shooting down a Russian jet which never entered NATO airspace is an act of war. It’s the difference between punching someone trying to enter your home versus punching them for trying to sit at the table next to you at a restaurant.

Audio quality is better and they pay the artists the most of all the major streaing platforms. I’ve been using Tidal for 2 years and have been very happy with the switch
- Comment on AI Computing on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India, Arm Says 1 month ago:
The current LLM’S kinda suck, but companies have fired huge swaths of their staff and plan in putting LLMs in their place. Either those companies hire back all those workers, or they get the programs to not suck. And making LLMs actually capable of working unsupervised will take more and more energy.
- Comment on we love those power laws 1 month ago:
You can actually tell hiw important an area was by the area code. If it was somewhere people called often, they would have low numbers, while bumfukc nowhere gets high numbers that take for ever to dial.
- Comment on we love those power laws 1 month ago:
I had some 50 year old bartender try to be condescending with me saying i probably didn’t know how to use a dial phone. Showed her up by explaining my aunt used to have a Princess phone and had to explain that one to her
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 1 month ago:
They can’t because the Musk personality cult is pretty much the only thing keeping the company viable at this point. They are absolutely fucked.

And then said the n-word in a board meeting anout how he needs to stop saying the n-word.
Then to show how not mad he was about being fired from his pizza chain, he ate 40 pizzas from there in a month.

- Comment on We compared the finances of 30-year-olds now, to 30-year-olds 30 years ago 1 month ago:
I’m a single guy. I have to go through an adoption process if i wanted to become a parent this year. That’s a lengthy process with background checks, home inspections,and placement surveys that are taxing, exhausting, and dehumanizing.
My sister is a single woman, she just needs to find a guy to sperm her up. They guy doesn’t even have to know that he impregnated her. Finding unknown fathers is a notoriously difficult task, even with modern genetic testing.

Marriage and long term relationship rates have alao been plummeting along side every other “milestone” indicator. Obviously women have a much easier time becoming a single parent than men do, but single parents exist.

Arenyou gonna start calling Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Orcus planets?
We went through this 150 years ago ehen the asteroid belt was discovered. Every astronomer wanted credit for discovering a new planet, so at one point there were 15 before all the astronomers got together and said it was untenable.

People can still leverage him to stop supporting Israel’s genocide in Palestine. He just has to stop sending the aid and he will have a cakewalk to a second term.
Why are you so opposed to people participating in democracy?
