Lies! That gif is sped up 2000%!

Nah, there’s a limited number of face types. It’s just that humans pick up on tiny differences making it seem there are millions. Also, OP didn’t change the hair, same expression, Ross’ face is blurry and obscuring those tiny differences, stuff like that.

I’m 54 and it was regularly 100F+ in Oklahoma in the 80s.

Took the Great Depression to do that. May well happen again.

A 99-1 vote to drop the anti AI regulation is hardly the government voting against. The Senate smashed that shit hard and fast.

We’re sending war materiel, not so much (if any?) small arms.

I’d be shocked if we can’t. Since WWII, our whole military mission has been predicated on simultaneously fighting two major fronts and one brush fire. We’ve only recently dropped the brush fire bit.

OTOH, maybe I’m wrong. Put my comment in ChatGPT:

• Obama-era Reassessment (2012): The strategy began shifting toward being able to fight one major war while deterring or denying another — a step down from the full two-war capability.

• Trump and Biden Administrations: Strategy documents further refined focus on peer or near-peer competition (e.g., China and Russia), moving away from the rigid 2-MRC structure. The “brush fire” idea has largely fallen away as the military now emphasizes great power competition and integrated deterrence rather than trying to be everywhere at once.

ChatGPT is astonishingly good at answering questions, but if you continue to drill into a given conversation, 3-4, sometimes only 2 levels deep, and it’s off the rails.

And y’all wonder why I’m always armed in the woods.

I did worse, resurrected a 1999 industrial 486SX on Win98B. It was fun as hell trying to figure it all out again, and most references are gone from the early web. Which reminds me, time to get that 10-BaseT NIC working!

I feel personally attacked.

Ask these guys.

OTHO, pretty sure no one needs higher auth to fire on a dude running up on your tank with a sizzling grenade. :)

It’s from people ditching home PCs for phones and tablets. That’s it. End of story. There are no significant numbers of people switching to Linux. They simply went to no PC.

10-15 years ago I could have made an OK living fixing home computers. That time is long past.

On Amazon, searches and sales for products such as gas masks, first aid kits, and solar-powered flashlights have ticked up notably in the past 30 days

I bought a gas mask 3 weeks ago. Already set for guns and ammo, also have a place to run to. Food and water purification are my weak spots.

Send 'em here to Florida. We’ve about killed ours off.

The numbers are for failures in the next two years. Plenty of projects will coast that long on investment dollars.

Investors are well aware this is a bubble. But they can’t risk losing the bet when the stakes are the next Google, or even the next internet.

And no matter what, AI is here to stay and someone is coming out on top.

Well it was men’s mental health month. Funny how I just found that out today. But please, let’s talk about women’s mental health issues.

For such a short editorial, very impactful. The crime thing really stands out to me.

I came of age in the late 80s, and NYC was a hellhole. Visited Manhattan (1991) with a college friend who was a native. There were places he straight wouldn’t take us, in and out of Manhattan. Bronx? Hell no, he wouldn’t even take a cab through there. You couldn’t take a step without stumbling over a homeless person, never seen so many cops in my life.

Took me a long time to realize that my experience of New York City is no longer relevant, and hasn’t been for a long, long time. Now consider GenXers like me who never got the memo. How many still consider NYC a liberal experiment gone to hell?
