I was behind somebody in the queue at Screwfix who was asking for advice after their landlord had glossed the inside of their BATH. What a lunatic.

Yeah we don’t have enough American news, we should start reframing other countries’ news into how it affects America

I get it a lot, I’m guessing from randomly trying usernames

I’m German (via my great-great-great-grandmother) so things like that don’t bother me

You could replace “robots” with humans and make the same argument. 100,000 dead men in a field doesn’t accomplish anything. The point is to have humans/robots left over after the fight to impose your will

I watch NFL from the UK where none of this applies, you can get a subscription service that covers all games. I went to my friend’s house to watch it once, but his TV didn’t have the right app so I went to cast it from my phone. The app blocked casting. Maybe watch it from a laptop with HDMI? Also didn’t work.

We pirate now.

You can also set the solver to use libmamba if you’ve already installed miniconda

If you go to the bathroom you’re not playing Battlefield

So you’re saying the junk food companies are going to create healthy versions and then push the healthy stuff on kids instead? Sounds like a win

No bro one time I was talking about buying protein shakes with my bro and then THE VERY NEXT DAY I saw an ad for protein shakes after watching Joe Rogan on the weightlifting subreddit.

You expect me to believe this is coincidence?!?!?!?!?!

Luckily I’m still on my family’s ForkPitch plan. Let me know if you want to sign up for Torchee, I have a referral code

Here’s an example from NASA

Please tell me there’s something similar for 192.168.0.1

Upset that “loop detected” isn’t the fat lööps cat

Straight up misleading. Mentioning AI in the headline and then sneakily switching to “the cloud” (i.e. most of the internet) when discussing figures. They say it uses a similar amount to commercial flights? Fine. Ground the flights, I’d rather have the internet a million times over.

On top of this, there’s lots of ways that they would get the data without secretly listening to microphones, which people may not be aware of in all these anecdotes. In the one above, maybe just one party member googled lab grown diamonds, or perhaps messaged a friend on Facebook messenger about their trick. Not sure if that gets analysed for ads but it’s more plausible than mics. Anyway if they’re all on the same WiFi then they’ll probably be on the same IP and could easily be shown the same ads, making all party members now ripe for a diamond ad.

There’s a well known video of a guy saying “cat food” around his phone, and then his phone shows Google ads for cat food. He concluded that it was secretly listening to him, because there was no other way for Google to get that info other than to shadily tap into his mic. He performs this experiment on a live streamed YouTube video

🤘🏻

I assume you are a lawyer and this is legal advice?

I’m an idiot and I put emojis in my SSID and sometimes devices don’t like that but I don’t want to change everything. So there’s a guest network with no emojis

That would have been fine, but why the spunk cocktail
