I don’t even want to think about all the microplastics created when people sand their builds they’re going to throw in the trash or ignore after a week. Small comfort that most people are too lazy to even do that. People are more careful around wood dust than microplastics, it’s nuts. And like, wood dust isn’t harmless either! Don’t breathe any of it, but definitely don’t breathe the plastics!
Honestly you should assume all supplements are toxic and full of heavy metals, because that shit is virtually unregulated.
I was going to say ‘didn’t they just blow up a neighborhood with fireworks the same way a few years ago?’, but that was the LAPD. Of course they learned nothing from watching someone else fuck up.
It annoys me on social media, and I wouldn’t know how to react if someone did that in front of me. If I wanted to see what the slop machine slopped out I’d go slop-raking myself.

No, it sounds like a mindless statistics machine because that’s what it is. Even stupid people have reasons for saying and doing things.
How many ‘dang, that’s crazy’s did you have to pull out?
I personally find the psychological effect - the devs thought they were 20% faster even afterward - to be pretty interesting, as it suggests that even if more time overall is spent, use of AI could reduce cognitive load and potentially side effects like burnout.
This assumes that lower estimated time = lower stress levels, when other factors could easily be throwing off time estimation. Think the trope of someone very busy at work who realizes they’ve worked through lunch or dinner. I would have expected people who spend 20% less mental effort on something to be less engaged and more bored by the passage of time, not less.
Also, importantly, improving worker conditions is something that can reduce burnout without the burden of massive data centers. We don’t have to make a machine that produces the illusion of speech to pay people better.
With some flour you can bring fediverse posters to your area!
You can insert ‘old.’ before any Reddit link (old.reddit.com) to bypass that crap
That’s fucking great! I hope they are safe to use in people and make it to market soon.
Oh god, that dude. I’d just managed to block the memory of this out.
God, I wish it only happened once.
While the Bush administration certainly had (very obviou$) reasons for trying to downplay it, I also remember at least some scientists at the time arguing that climate change was a better term because people are particularly stupid about the term global warming when it paradoxically results in some places having a greater number of and more extreme cold events.
Ex: every time some dumbfuck Republican brought a snowball into Congress to talk about how global warming is fake because look here’s snow!!
Only if you use a — instead of --, if they know what they’re talking about anyway.
My phone autocorrects them to — so that’s fun, lol.
Same on the wanting more of it faster front! One look at the detail on each panel shows why it takes so long, but it’s absolutely something I could sit and devour in one sitting.
Free range, pasture raised… would probably be a lot better if he didn’t use electronics ;p
Doing neither while hinting that other people should do the work sure is revealing of the problem, though.
Synthetic fibers are a fucking nightmare too, just actively sanding it and creating all those microplastics right there, without even washing it away, possibly BREATHING it!! gives me the heebie jeebies after learning about how much plastic is in our brains.
