I recently saw an IBM commercial featuring two managers complaining that AI implementation had been a wash because the effort required to maintain the system offset any productivity gains. The fact that the industry is openly admitting this is telling.

The owls are not what they seem. However, I was informed that the owls were sold as is and therefore not eligible for returns.

I think that those are valid criticisms, and when compared to potential D presidential candidates, he sucks.

But, I've seen a trend on here where people catastrophize him, going so far as to claim he's worse for marginalized people than someone like DeSantis. It's hard to take that seriously.

One charitable interpretation of this is that, since SNAP is use it or lose it, I have heard people who have been on SNAP for a long time day that this engrains a habit in them where they feel compelled to spend money as soon as they get it and don't prioritize long term saving when they're able.

Was that due to the incident during the Civil War where a surgeon was treating a soldier for a heart attack, but then accidentally gave himself and his assistant heart attacks as well?

I've injured my rotator cuff before, and I think the only part of chin ups that ever gave me any trouble was reaching up to grab the bar.

Today is Mario Day (Mar 10). I'm celebrating by brainstorming ideas for a game that recently appeared to me in a dream called "Mario Suicide"

This is because, by the time Jim Davis is able to draw a panel, Garfield has already eaten the lasagna.

My friends dragged me to see it in theaters. I just found it boring, it's the only movie I ever walked out of.

In spite of this, my wife insisted I watch the TV series with her. I wound up rage quitting right before the finale.

Hotel California by Eagles, Baby by Justin Bieber, Too Late to Apologize by One Republic, and Dream On by Aerosmith. All for the same reason: The tempo is just slow enough to be frustrating, it's like the musical equivalent of being stuck behind a slow walker going up the stairs.

Makes sense.

Side note, I was a fan of them as a kid, but seeing a bit of Anthony Kiedis's autobiography where he described having sex with a 14-year-old ruined them for me.

A new app alerts you if someone nearby is wearing smart glasses | TechCrunch A hobbyist developer's new app, which can detect nearby smart glasses, comes amid resistance to always-on recording and listening devices that invade people's privacy.

I don't think I've seen a pair of smart glasses in person. Installed the app anyway, it's worth a try.

I was contacted to be interviewed by The Wall Street Journal. I didn't respond, primarily because the site I was contacted on just changed its UI, causing me to not see the message for several weeks.

Back in my day, fitness influencers called it meat slop, and they had the decency to at tomato sauce and cabbage.

Or that posting on the internet insisting that 300 million people buck hundreds of years of linguistic tradition and start referring to themselves by a word that doesn't exist in their language isn't effective.

Having seen this discourse for years now, a lot of them don't understand that "America" is in the name of our country, and that the global north considered North and South America to be separate continents.

I worked with a small group of Iranian immigrants about a decade ago. Half didn't really talk politics, the other half were extremely critical of the Iranian government, but also didn't respect Trump and at no point expressed to me any desire for the US to intervene there. Take that FWIW.

I still think this is too convoluted and complicated to be enforceable, while ignoring a lot of important real world considerations. This seems primarily geared towards preventing long range sharpshooter attacks, which really are not that common and would put some guns in a legal gray area.

The main problem I see with this idea is that those variables can all be changed with the setup of the gun, the shooter, and the specific batch of ammo.

That, and considering that ~90% of shootings are committed with handguns, I'd say that conceal ability is a more important metric than firepower.

very different from the methods a gun would be made in a factory, it would be pretty easy to tell them apart just by look and feel. Enforcing it by punishing anyone caught after the fact is the only way I see.

Currently, you need a license from the federal government to manufacture and sell firearms, so that side is simple. Having worked with 3D printers, I don't think it's feasible at this point to regulate them in a way that would prevent them from 3D printing regulated gun parts, but as 3D printing is
