I walked away from my family business in part because my father was angry at me for sticking up for our workers. Specifically women.

I know, right? You can't even say you want to put a specific human being into a wood chipper on here.
Oh, wait, that's reasonable.

I want to make this very clear. My default stance on any of this is leave to the courts UNLESS the act is in progress. At that point in time deadly force is authorized. Not just legally but by my own conscience.
I have never shied away from protecting others that couldn't do it themselves.

all I’m gonna say is that I am a life-long slightly edgy poster and I’ve never caught a suspension or a ban anywhere - because it is in fact quite easy to avoid crossing the “this joke could possibly be construed as a violent threat” line on social media

Tell me you're not an athlete without actually saying it. The physique kind of sets the tone for "never done shit that's hard" but WTF is this?
Dude, I've got into wrestling matches where I couldn't function unless I had some Ibuprofen in me. Shit's magic. Naproxen too.

JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

What's confusing about Link's ban? This is his response to Jaz saying she didn't want to experience "negative consequences" for moderation choices.

Well, apparently, we can't even JOKE about shooting people on this website.
Oh, wait, that's actually reasonable.
Maybe it comes from my early days on gun forums but, "I want to shoot the [human being]..." just doesn't fly. Don't say that online. Ever. For so many reasons.

Synthetic data from Wikipedia sources is about as ethical as you can get for #AI / LLM training data. And a solid foundation for truth. It's stuff like this that's going to shape the future of the tech. I want to try out the models now!
Breaking: we release a fully synthetic generalist dataset for pretraining, SYNTH and two new SOTA reasoning models exclusively trained on it. Despite having seen only 200 billion tokens, Baguettotron is currently best-in-class in its size range. pleias.fr/blog/blogsyn...

Yup. Start adding solar and wind like there's no tomorrow. Drive the price of electricity down so far it makes economic sense to electrify everything. Too much power on a sunny day? Force the AC on in homes for free.
We need massively more electricity generation. The worlds where emissions drop the most are also the ones where we use the most new electricity.
"electrification is also the key to a dramatic improvement in energy efficiency, potentially reducing global final energy demand by 24% over the next 25 years, even as global GDP doubles"
A truly stunning point.
This is why I write about energy efficiency so much!

Jesus Christ: Nice guy or economics expert?
There’s growing concern among grocery stores, restaurants and food producers, as some economists say the lapse SNAP payments is likely to cause lower-income households to scrutinize their spending more.
With SNAP on Hold, Low-Income Shoppers Cut Back and Businesses Worry
A delay in SNAP benefits mixed with a decline in foot traffic has many stores, restaurants and food producers concerned about sales.

How about some morbid trivia? It involves the ZIP file format and peppermint schnapps. The ZIP format was created by Phil Katz and became popular in the 90's with his pkzip shareware utilities. Dude made millions on it. Still lived with his mom though at age 37 which is as old as he got...

Huh. It keeps happening in my sleep. Woke up in pain again last night and had to set it back in.
Had a sore shoulder the last few days. Reached up to tie my hair this morning and it popped. Bit of pain with that but 10 seconds later my shoulder felt fine again.
It had been slightly dislocated. Been a while since that happened.

This is worth watching and I'm rethinking my relationship with my dishwasher now. I'm basically taking all of his advice.
Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.
Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.
