    I watch the prices on stuff like gold and silver but am not invested in them. Platinum is up over the last two moths, 40% or so.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Saw a headline a while back, did not click. About FB using an AI to make fake people and friend real people and shit and share their shit back and forth so real people got fake likes and felt better about it. May be a fake story, but sounds like something that could be right up the androids alley.

    I'll try this one instead, not near as good a song. No idea why/when this started.

    Weather

    I'm not in Kerrville but looking at radar looks like it is still raining there and a lot of rain there and north of there. Doesn't look good.

    I have a Samsung refrigerator that is almost 20 years old and it works like it is supposed to and never had an issue. I hear that a lot though.

    Yeah overnight Kerr county got like 7-10 inches of rain. It's an area that alreaday suffers from flash floods due to the terrain but that's a lot of rain in a short time. The Guadalupe river is raging.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    When Covid stuff started Harvard had a free course on classical music history and such. I took it and a free certificate lol. Anyway they had a lot of stuff including some spotify sources. But I've always like Vivaldi since an ex girlfriend got me into it.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    He had a "university" or school whatever it was in Baton Rouge. After he got caught with a hooker in the bad part of town all that went poof. My niece used to competitive diving at the giant pool someone took over. The place was really nice, seemed pretty lavish for a religious shool. Some...

    The Prepper Thread

    I take insulin and keep nearly a years supply on hand of both types. I buy over the counter no prescription needed and it works well for me. I just use the oldest and put anything I buy new to the back of the rotation. I have a well so that takes care of water and I can fire up the whole house...

    The Prepper Thread

    Living in a very isolated or very rual area makes you at least partly prepper. Also growing up in a hurricane area does it. The longest I've gone without power to the house was 7 days. I had a whole house generator but you can only run one so long full time which I did not do. It was just...

    Thanks for the info. Going to pick it up. I know a number of games that have some kind of dribving in it don't work so well with keyboard and mouse.

    I thought about Cyberpunk. I don't know much about it other than when it first came out people complaining. I only game with a keyboard and a mouse and not a controller. Just glancing it looks like it is more console oriented. Is it?

    Health Problems

    I've seen some odd stuff at a doctors office, well it happened again. You would think once 10 years ago it wasn't such a big deal because it wasn't as known then. When I get a copy of a MRI to take to another doctor/hospital they always give it on a CD and told "that's just the way it is"...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Sometimes I have to go to a job site for measurements and a quick discussion with a few engineers and field people (project managers) and such. A number of sites you can't carry a phone and it's amazing the number of engineers and people that use math all day in their job can't add 2+2 without...

    Was it Microsoft that picked up terrabytes of digital copywrited stuff to train their AI but it was "okay" because they didn't seed it out and share it with others. But for them it was okay.

    Buying a console now in advance of a release I would be concerned a new console would be released before the game considering how some games get tied up for years now.

    Kind of like in business some people say things about the companies I do work for "How can they make any money doing that?, I tell them they loose money on everything they build, they make it up in bulk". You get some great looks, some laughs and some that look like they are really turning that...

    EVE Online

    Talk started a few hours ago that CCP is for sale by Pearl Abyss. I haven't been able to find anything other than an article some time ago that Pearl Abyss was looking to sell CCP/Eve. Found it I guess. Translation is kind funky in places. https://news.mtn.co.kr/news-detail/2025061910371430049...

    What are you playing?

    If you don't like someone you can ignore them and never talk to them in camp, or kill them and that is that. Or (small spoiler ahead) kill them and put them in your bag and send the corpse to camp to use it later so you get specific dialog options and events much later. I'm looking at your pale boy.

    Happy Fathers Day

    No kids. 'If" I had a kid at age 25 the kid would be 30 now. Yes all the women I know now are in one of two camps. "I'm super excited I might be a grandmother soon" or " don't ever bring up the word grand kid again I'm not that old."

    I fly a lot less than I used to. Not because of planes crashing or any company that makes them. Airlines have worked hard to make it cheap enough to fly that literally anyone could and did fly. Greyhound in the skies is not a great thing. I did take a flight to Japan because it's hard to drive...

    I flew on a commercial flight during that time period. In the 70s and 80s there were still a number of commercial planes that were once military. Not everything then was Boeing or Airbus. One flight I took the back end opened up and a ramp came down which obviously was used for moving things in...

    You can skip all that if wanted. A few lines of conversation that starts and you can shut it down and that is the end of it. Act 3 still feels like they ran out of time and threw everything they had into the game. But you can see the woke shit coming and can shut it down and you don't get any...

    Could have been pilot error, who knows. They did fly into the ground with the flaps up which are normally extended at slow speeds to provide more lift.
