Amateurs! They should’ve charged $4000 and handed you some terrible “medical food” on the way out.

You’re supposed to use a lighter

It’s like everything else conservatives think they want: “We want illegal immigrants out of the country! But we’re not willing to fund more immigration courts/judges. Let those court cases back up forever so they can stay here indefinitely! Oh wait…”

Conservative: “Tesla chose Texas for their new whatever, yeeeee fuckin’ haw yo! That’s a lot of money that will come into the state!”

Bystander: “But don’t they have to settle that case with the EPA before they can proceed? I mean, they totally fucked that river and will have to pay for cleanup.” (note: this is hypothetical river fucking)

Conservative (and Libertarians, oddly): “Yeah yeah whatever. That’s why we have the courts!”

Bystander: “Except that court case won’t be heard for years because the courts are backed up. Apparently there’s not enough money in the Federal budget this year to pay for more judges, courthouses, and lawyers to handle cases like that”

Conservative: “Then they need to increase taxes! Oh wait…”

Congratulations conservatives! With this ruling, you just drastically increased the size of the Federal government.

Simple administrative rulings are gone so now we’re going to end up with five zillion more expensive lawyers, a lot more judges, and a gazillion more cases before the courts.

It’ll also increase the cost of doing business! Because now instead of just having to occasionally deal with an administrative body full of technical people who know what matters and what doesn’t every company is now going to have to hire teams of lawyers to defend themselves in court and explain every little thing to a jury of total laymen.

The companies that violate the law regularly with the intent to “just pay the fines” will now have to defend themselves in court over and over and over again. You think immigration courts are overloaded? Now every federal court will be!

Perhaps they thought this would just result in businesses no longer having to comply with regulations? Hell no. Next year’s Federal budget is going to balloon in order to pay for all these new inefficiencies.

They are insane.

Of course, this is conservatives modus operandi: Don’t bother looking at real outcomes and real consequences of their actions! Instead, look towards tradition and religion and only that which is right in front of their face.

Nah just declare that churches worth over $1 billion that are influencing politics are no longer churches and therefore no longer tax exempt. Utah will change their tune immediately.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that graduates would be screened “to exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges.”

Communists? 🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶

Alternative: We need more robotics engineers to build robots that can do the job.

The British suck in this situation for sure but the local racism this girl is experiencing is also bad. There should be an article about that too.

Everyone of every skin color belongs everywhere. There’s no location on earth that you “belong” based on your skin color or general relative appearance. The concept absurd.

Electric vehicles. Did you forget?

Also, the reason why walking, running, or even biking to get around 99% of the US isn’t feasible is because the distances are too vast. The average commute time for people in the US is 26.7 minutes and most of that will be on a highway. Covering the same distance on a bike would take 3-10x longer (why 10x? Because of soooo many bridges that don’t allow bikes or pedestrians!).

Why would we want to hear about and end to Trump flags being burned? I mean, as long as they’re old and people aren’t sending money his way 🤷

Now do big trucks and cars modified to be extra loud!

It’s an indication that we’re not “sending our best”

Yes: To them this demonstrates that the justice system is corrupt and they think only Trump can fix it.

They will believe this even though Trump isn’t running for any office in New York 🤣

Welcome to the future! I believe this is how the next world war starts?

SD3 not being free would be so sad! OMG. It solves all my major issues with Stable Diffusion (which are pretty much the same with all the major competitors).

I just want to have reliable text generation and better control over where subjects are! (Without having to delve into the depths of ControlNet)

Though I suppose if history is a guide, if Stability AI doesn’t release SD3 someone else will release an equivalent… After a delay. The problem is the cost of research in this area is quite prohibitive so that delay could be years 😞

Don’t be too fearful of this kind of thing. Companies have had much worse circumstances with even greater losses of employees/executives and come out stronger as a result.

Example: Apple.

So we can expect a number of bad leaders after this, eventually getting someone with a French accent to take over, run the company further into the ground, then the founder(s) will return (like the prophecy always said) and take over the world for like a decade.

This might not necessarily be the case for much longer with storage costs finally reaching certain thresholds.

2TB SSDs only cost ~$100 and you can cram a lot of SSDs into a tiny space with only a minimal amount of cooling (still need a fan but just a fan).

The next bottleneck to overcome is upload bandwidth. Too many providers offer asynchronous service with weirdly low/slow upload limitations. However, that too might be changing over the next few years as DOCSIS 4.0 supports 10Gbit down/6Gbit up (DOCSIS 3.1 only supported ~1Gbit up). An important note about DOCSIS 4.0 is that in order to take advantage of it’s improved features (on the ISP end) you need to provide more upload bandwidth to the client (well, you can still cap it at the router but at that point the ISP is just being an asshole instead of actually “managing bandwidth”).

Docker containers aren’t running in a virtual machine. They’re running what amounts to a fancy chroot jail… It’s just an isolated environment that takes advantage of several kernel security features to make software running inside the environment think everything is normal despite being locked down.

This is a very important distinction because it means that docker containers are very light weight compared to a VM. They use but a fraction of the resources a VM would and can be brought up and down in milliseconds since there’s no hardware to emulate.

This seems doable and awesome! I want touch grass PC case!

Don’t see what the big deal is. We humans can also absorb water and other fluids through our butts. Just ask Brett Kavanaugh.
