You sneaky son of a bitch

But I saw it on TV

I’m not normally one to make product recommendations but I do like Garmin a lot. Their watches are well made and loaded with features.

My biggest complaint about them is that they have too many options. It can be kind of overwhelming trying to find a specific feature / style combination. The one you linked looks like what OP described to me though.

That definitely sucks but what is the legal argument being made here? Is he saying that hotels can’t allow bugs (or whatever the fuck scorpions are) indoors at any time? I don’t see how this is anything other than an unfortunate accident.

I have no idea where that data comes from and that’s exactly the point I’m making. It doesn’t match my personal experience at all.

I build the infrastructure that these data centers need to connect to the internet. Our projected power consumption is at least tripling from last year which was itself double the year before, and that’s only the power draw for the fiber optic infrastructure connecting these data centers together. They’re also building a ridiculous amount of computing power in those data centers which is another massive increase in power consumption.

There are some kind-of green efforts in progress to mitigate a bit of the environmental impacts of that increase in demand but most of what I have seen personally is just more draw from the local utility company. I have serious doubts about any data that indicates that tripling power consumption is not a major environmental problem.

All progress is good progress and all that but… if this is the strongest rebuke the world can muster then we’re completely fucked

My boss doesn’t care if I log in at 11 and log out at 3 with a 2 hour lunch in the middle, but to be fair, my boss is me and I’m pretty chill.

In my experience weed can be a gateway drug when you have to buy it from a drug dealer. As an analogy, lots of people end up buying something other than what they went into Target to buy.

It’s very much like that. Few have the strength to wield it and they are often derided as psychopaths by their peers and those in power

Oh shit, I forgot I have this magical capitalism destroying sword laying around. Let me just cut capitalism in half real quick (the long way so it’s harder to put back together) and then we can get back to eating all the pets like Marx intended.

No I don’t know even one little bit

It’s a funny joke but that last line taken seriously indicates that for all their pillaging they did a surprisingly small amount of raping. After all, that’s why women in Scandinavia are mostly attractive, the Vikings enjoyed both in equal amounts.

16th Street in Denver is just that, one street. And it’s really only like that for about 8 blocks. It works fairly well to build in that way for a small area but replacing all of the downtown infrastructure is not really practical, much less the whole city.

Obviously the people who would benefit most from this technology would prefer a doctor and pharmacy to be involved as well. The point is that personal preference doesn’t really mean much when the preferred option is inaccessible and the alternative is death or a dramatically reduced quality of life. You do the best with what you have.

Theoretically that’s true. Can you tell techbros and the media to shut up about AI until it happens though?

The entire human race would be eaten in 30 years.

Nice, problem solved then

It’s easier to verify rote memorization than actual understanding so naturally shitty schools focus on the former at the expense of the latter. Most American schools are shitty by academic standards.

The only thing I’m convinced of is the fact that you’re talking like a Russian psy-ops agent. You may not be one but at minimum you’re doing their work for them.
