Wait, are companies "legal persons" in Canada? I know they are in the States

maybe elks are ok, I don't know. Moose sure as fuck ain't. Moose scare me more than (black) bears. I have been very close to both and I would pick bear every time.

LB: jesus christ don't pet elks or moose, what in the hell is wrong with you

I have. Not well, mind you. But I have trained transformer models from scratch on CPU. Oof.

I keep seeing "artificial intelligence uses too much water" and since my setup doesn't use any water, I feel like I should maybe go and pour a bottle on my little computer just to see if that helps things any.

it's what I've landed on as a gender-nonspecific honorific/term of affection. I got it from Devo, I think. https://www.reddit.com/r/devo/comments/3qkc3q/new_to_devo_whats_the_deal_with_devo_and_potatoes/

EXACTLY THIS, which, Jesus Christ, in a just world would be a cause for celebration and delight - bunch of shit work doesn't need to be done or can be done super fast! But not here, not in this world!

Don't get me wrong. Quartz watches are objectively superior to mechanicals. I don't know now much Patek's quartz costs, but I'm pretty sure it's more than a Casio F-91w.

Not even a spring drive. A quartz. One tick per second. Quartz.

2024-05-23 01:18:41

TIL Patek Philippe makes a ... quartz watch.....

what do you mean man. this seems extremely normal to me, someone from the 1970s himself who has apparently dropped a whole boxcar of Owsley's finest

I actually dislike the base building aspect of the game and maybe I should actually try to like it.

depends on how you define "few years" but I'd have to say Proton, probably.

I've been digging into it too and I'm leaving power armor suits around that Red Rocket like they're Sears mannequins. I think I have 5. I don't even *like* power armor.

As someone with techbro proclivities I get why certain segments are jazzed about it. It's architecturally neato. But it's got a learning curve like, well, like what bsky people *think* Mastodon is like, put it that way.

I actually did try to use Nostr a bit a while ago. I found it *extremely* perplexing and, once I actually did manage to get on, full of.... Unsavoury Dudes.

RELATED: someone has been trying to sell a Kei-car pickup not far from me for MANY MONTHS and I'm like "YES I WOULD LIKE THIS" but can't justify it.

god, me too. What would be a "tiny" pickup truck today (but like a midsized in 1993) is just about perfect.

my ideal car is, of course, a car with every piece of technology from no later than, say, 1986, but with a thoroughly modern electric drivetrain.

2024-05-01 13:28:32

I have ridden in an electric car exactly once for about 5 minutes and I have *very little idea* of how these things work, admittedly.

Look, I know it's Elon Musk and he's a top dipshit, but I do not know why you would fire your entire charging station team when isn't there a big push to make Tesla's charging scheme a nationwide (international?) standard?

I've never used it myself, so I could be missing something, but it is *damn nigh unusable* if you're Googling for something and there's a Pinterest link. Always groan like "Great. Can't use that."
But yeah, perhaps the best social media is... the least social social media. :D

I realize that's not the point of your thing here, or really even of this dude's in particular, and I'm sorry if *I'm* coming across as a Combative Reply Guy to your toots, but ... I'm a little agog at someone holding up Pinterest as something to strive for in re: social media.

would love to hear if someone recommends good mods, as I have never modded any Bethesda game (and on a Steam Deck, I'm not sure how exactly), but I too love sniper/lockpick builds. Even if I start a game going "OK, I will try to be a melee heavy this time" I.... always become a sniper/lockpick.
It's basically RPG carcinization to me. Every game, if it's possible to be sneak/lockpicky/snipery, I... become that.
