Sheetz gang where you at?

Yep. And the last time I did this I helped by keeping my house around 50 degrees all the time. I figure if we spend most of our energy keeping warm then making that harder would burn more calories.

Now that I’m used to eating less I’ve found that I simply can’t eat like I used to without discomfort.
Case in point: last night I got an Italian sub and was full after half of it, while previously I would have housed the entire thing.

I gave up soda entirely and now I can’t drink any of it. It tastes like fizzy battery acid to me.

Lots of things are easy to do once, but doing them continuously for as long as necessary is extremely hard.
That being said I was starving for like two weeks but eventually I found I can’t eat that much anymore and it got easier.

This is a joke but I lost 20 pounds so far just by eating half as much as I normally would.

The YT channel What’s Going on with Shipping started with this and has the best analysis of this.

The way I came into it was reading them all in order. I’m told this is not the best way and that there are flow charts.
But I like this way because I got to see how Sir Pterry evolved as an author and I got to see them in somewhat disjointed order rather than going through individual characters or arcs.

Having participated in the epic Mac vs. PC flame wars of the 90s and 00s I’m upset us Mac users never came up with Microslop.

- Comment on Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect." 1 day ago:
It’s data collection like you mentioned in your original post, and
As for a valid use of LLMs: Natural language searching (with cited sources) is a use case that it’s already doing. This is especially useful in highly technical fields where the end users have the expertise to vet responses.
But one big LLM trained on everything isn’t that.

Seinfeld is also like that. The best ones are where all their individual idiocy ends up making a spectacular fireball of stupidity.
Though I hope Earth gets a better finale.

They did warn one person: Wonko the Sane.
He’s probably my favorite character in all the books.

Part of what made it so memorable - an inspired the song - is that school was cancelled that day so a bunch of kids were watching the press conference.
- Comment on Those who strongly promote patriotism are not happy when it happens in other countries. 1 day ago:
Patriotism is a parasocial relationship with imaginary lines.
- Comment on Those who strongly promote patriotism are not happy when it happens in other countries. 1 day ago:
But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.

Another one that makes sense is having an AI monitor system stats and “learn” patterns in them, then alert a human when it “thinks” there’s an anomaly.

Adding that nonsense to enterprise Linux distros will be hilarious to watch.
And Steam can just sell blank hardware and let you install some distro you find on the Internet. Streetlight did that with one of their albums.
And what happens when someone forks fedora and removes it for their own machine. Who’s the manufacturer then?

Linus Torvalds is the closest thing Linux has to a manufacturer
