"It's funny because it's funny, but it's also funny because it's true" My sports reasonable chuckle of the day :

I actually heard last night they're starting "auditions" for the new Bond.... And I'm thinking why are they doing this in a world where Henry Cavill exists and is right there in the UK? Cavill as Bond Sydney Sweeny as Tits Galore (grand daughter of Pussy Galore) who turned coat and works for...

Carano posted on X yesterday I think talking about how she literally dropped over 100 pounds in a year to get back into fighting shape, so I have to give her some credit. Will that make her back into any level of a formidable fighter? I dunno... But it will definitely be easy on the eyes to...

Same for me pretty much.... Years ago, pre-marriage, in an online social group I was involved with that was geocentric it was found out the chicks were using a "rating system". The level of pissed they got when I released mine and one question was "Do you smoke?" And the "No" answer was...

I rode out the vesting of my shares. Last shares vested a couple years ago. At the time I considered that, but the fact that during the first year (pre-vesting schedule starting) my company shot up ~200% so I let it ride a bit longer.... between then and end of vesting (3 years later, 4 years...

I'm struggling right now because we're closing at ATHs, my own company's stock is bouncing around it's ATH and has surged (and I'd out and out say spiked in the last couple weeks). Everything is coming up Milhouse..... Yet the part of me that also had a lot of company stock options through...

When asked what they do against scenarios like we're hearing, where a rouge individual, or bad process, nukes databases/etc was the scenario. And having "distributed microservices based SaaS" continually updates data/code/processes across data centers because often they're functionally load...

I have quite literally heard this in a serious meeting... with a serious customer.... "It's a distributed service spread across the cloud, that redundancy means backups are irrelevant. Redundancy between cloud data centers IS the backup."

So PPI (Producer Price Index) came in pretty darn hot this morning... Isn't that usually a precursor to Consumer Price Index moves?

No, it's for Non fungible permanent records of documents which can be sent from owner to own through an authenticated and encrypted means. Want to stop home title theft? Make home titles NFTs. Car titles? NFTs. Contracts you need involatile and counterfeitproof? NFTs.

This guy is hitting the new reality of a world where AI is enabling outsourcers and foreign entities to automate applying for jobs ("Scrape LinkedIn and apply for EVERY job with a tuned resume to match the criteria" is not unheard of as an AI prompt from what I hear. heh). Only way to deal with...

That gave me a very reasonable chuckle.... Which makes me a little sad because NFTs as a technology have a distinct really solid use case/purpose. But it's NOT digital collectables.

@pwe , I've been through this exact process. Like many have mentioned (and @Cad even had a chart) this is normal as you age. Many people pick up a spouse along the way, and that's definitely a type of friend, but obviously not the same as a fraternal friend. In my life I went from having a...

Thanks to a combination of shoulder dislocations and bang ups playing hockey when I was a young adult and being a side sleeper. My only real consistent pain moments are that I sleep on one side, wake up an hour or two later with the shoulder on bottom hurting, roll over, go back to sleep...

This was rectified...

Fair... one other spoilered note :

I kept thinking about this and think I should add a couple spoilered bits.... Obviously don't read if you don't want key movie points ruined for you...

It's Waffle House's world man... don't ask for explanations you might not want...

It's OK. I heard they're getting brought back through a buyout...

Probably mad his boyfriend was staring at Jax's manmeat the whole time... I think it worked well. For Cage it was his "realizing his power/destiny" movie, for Katana it was pretty much straight up story line from the game canon being played out. It was a good and functional ensemble fighting...

Skin smooth as silk sir.... smooth as silk....

Since the link between Kripke and Jensen Ackles has been mentioned.. which brought in Supernatural... And two other Supernatural actors... They decided to do something entertaining with it.

I completely expect this. Because what good is anything if big corporations can't get politicians and bureaucrats to make sure they get exclusive access to the profits from it?

I think two things are in play with the low "AI Revenue" estimate. First, I wouldn't put it past him to just be calling out AI revenue generated for the first half of the year. Second, a lot of the "What about all the AI infrastructure outlays and Capex expenditures" aren't actual AI...

OK. In the category at the intersection of "Weird shit I've bought at places you wouldn't expect" and "Shit I'd never thought I'd use myself, but why the hell not?!?" @Mrs. Haus Follows a dermatologist woman out of Houston who reviews skin care stuff. And she discovered a surprisingly...

An "Interesting" tidbit of info and a prediction I can't honestly argue against.... Grok, unsurprisingly, disputes the revenue projection though.... heh

Sam Altman has literally said that his intention is to replicate all knowledge and sell it back as a service. Meaning experience, in his opinion, will be what he takes and sells back to companies so they no longer need to pay you.

There were reports in Dallas at one point of a prostitute that also had her relators license, and would meet clients at houses she would "show" them... Unrelated :

A guy walks into his living room and his dad is on the couch with a carrot up his ass... "HEY" they guy exclaims, "Don't Do that! If I want to eat that later... it's gonna taste like carrots"

IN THEORY you're supposed to clear and re-seal granite once I year I believe. In practice I think I've done this to our granite countertops twice in the dozen years since I had them put in during the kitchen remodel. As @Lanx noted, it's also very possible to just never seal it. Only risk...

If you don't provide enough information the filtering AI's don't even let your resume get to a person now a days. Many jobs also require a credit check, hand them your SSN and then can get to your age from there usually. You say it's crazy, but I have personally experienced that ageism is a...

Apparently he is, he's also from Austin and has a microbrewery down there.

Kinda like has been said. The original series was just going to be 5 seasons. And the first five built up and pay off well. Admittedly S1 is a little slow getting it's footing. Seasons 6-12 or so was because the CW backed up a dump truck of money because at the end of season 5 Supernatural...

Yeah, I've had years of experience in dealing with Boxwoods at my grandmother's house (where I tend to still take care of tons of stuff). For my it's usually well controlled with 2-3 spray downs a year, which I can manage for something which looks good. And in the back yard the Azaleas are...

I'm hitting that wall now. Finished the campaign, did the raid portion in story mode with the wife, have 2 level 90's. Don't see any reason to do anything in it really. They dropped 12.0.5 and the void strikes/incursions/whatever were interesting for one run through, about a day or seeing...

I was raised by my grandparents. And my grandfather passed when I was 27 after around 4 years of dementia decline. By the end he wasn't even talking and I'd just rely on when I saw his eyes seems to be more cognizant of what was going on around him. That shit did damage to me I still deal...
