One of the most ridiculously forced ai slop integrations I’ve seen.
The whole point of a Robokiller search is, with apologies to Hedberg, “I give you a phone number and you give me what you know about it. End of transaction! We don’t need to bring lies or hallucinations into this!“

Memphis: there’s a free brake light repair clinic this Saturday! Don’t be giving Trump’s tAsKfOrCe nazis a reason to pull you over; make sure your lights are lit up.
Volunteers will be replacing brake and turn signal lights, and a limited supply of free bulbs is available! See flyer for details. 🚗💡

RIP to this SolyTech power supply in one of my old TigerDirect/Systemax clunkers. It just failed spectacularly with a tick-tick-tick, a large burst of yellow sparks, a loud buzz, and the usual acrid ozoney smoke. Here’s hoping none of the other components in the PC were fried 😬

Coffee prices are nothing short of extortionate. Before Covid, this was $9.99. It’s up at least $7 this year alone.

Finally, I can quit stressing over how laughably unaffordable my health insurance will be next year. I’m flush with cash, this should keep me covered for one, maybe even two hours

Love all these nobody chuds who make their usernames “@realNobodyChud” to emulate Trump. I have no earthly idea who Michael Solakiewicz is but I don’t imagine he has a bunch of impostors taking his username on social media.

An “unspecified public figure,” uh huh, sure. What a colossal waste of energy; the “Ai” bubble can’t burst soon enough.

I really dislike the "it's always DNS" trope because frequently it's something else, but Kroger's shit was fucked all day and it was definitely DNS. I think they have it loosely functional now, though there are so many nested CNAMEs the dnsviz graph resembles a late '90s Slashdot page-widening post.
