Saw the text of the post in my notifications and 100% expected it to be John in a dress.

I'm feeling more lucky than smart that I bought a new laptop three months ago and won't need a new one for a while, and that my two desktops have 64GB and 128GB RAM, respectively

I love the sweet cornbread I can get at Safeway, but I just call it corncake. Because it's cake. Delicious cake.

I've paired it with chili before, but really prefer the Jiffy mix for that (which is probably still considered sweet to some?).

I wish it worked that way for me. I can realize it's a dream but I can't control it or fly or anything.

I mostly read hard sci-fi, but the Dungeon Crawler Carl series kinda fits that. It's been a fun read and now there's this graphic novel spinoff getting crowdfunded.

If you're familiar with the John Dies At The End books, it's fun in a similar batshit crazy way.

Oof. A former coworker had that issue. Literally made him sick. I don't know if it was always an issue or developed later in life, but he was pretty young when I knew him (still in his 20's, I think).

👴 We are the same age. That explains a lot.

I work for the Internet (managing the world's largest authoritative DNS). Most, if not all, of my salty old coworkers agree that the Internet was a mistake. Maybe not the original one, but definitely what it has become.

"AI" is absolutely and ONLY a marketing term, and at this point if it's being used, the intent behind it is to overpromise to the consumer/end user on the program's actual capabilities. And, of course, none of the "AI" is actually intelligent in any meaningful way.
It would be neat if it wasn’t marketed as AI. Predictive statistical modeling doesn’t really slide off the tongue I guess
