Wait…was Lou Dobbs nothing more than a long running satirical performance piece by Bob Newhart?

I don’t believe in coincidences…

/s obviously.

What’s the over/under on any of those people knowing the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim?

Fucking hell its exhausting trying to keep one step ahead of having this AI bullshit shoved into every service I use.

I’m not against AI. I’m just against it being embedded in literally everything. I

If I want to “consult” an AI to have it look at my code for syntax errors or something like that, I’ll go to its website and use it from there, accepting that yes… That particular bit of code or text is going to be scraped.

But the step from there to "always be reading everything I do is fucking massive.

Biden is religious

I’m a cynical bastard who’s convinced that no politician is truly religious any more than they need to be to keep up appearances to the voters.

Calling it now: He’s slowly working up to dropping out without “losing face”

Step one: Casually mention in an interview that you’d consider dropping if a health reason popped up. Step two: Coincidentally, get a health issue shortly afterwards. Step three: Casually make it known that you’re “more open” to call to step aside.

It’s not a coincidence that he got COVID and made the health comment within a day of each other. I’m not saying he doesn’t have COVID. I’m saying he and his team knew about earlier than they announced it, and decided to drop that nugget in an interview beforehand in order to pave the way.

It’s been a long time since I last installed Linux on a two hard-drive system, so take this advice as “likely not necessary, but will probably fix your issue”

The installer asks whether or not you want to “replace” the existing OS or install alongside. And if you’re fairly new to linux (like I was at the time) it can be tricky to see at a glance which hard-drive you want to install it to and which you don’t.

So to be doubly cautious and make sure that didn’t happen, I simply unplugged my secondary harddrive during the install so that the installer would automatically be reading the correct one. Then all I had to do was choose “replace” or “install alongside” without worrying about anything else.

The drawback to that was, once the install was complete and I re-attached my second drive, I had to configure it to auto-mount and do some work on that, but at least my computer was working.

No one at any point said not to be attracted to that person. But that doesn’t mean people (men or women) should be drooling rutting animals about it.

In the adult world that (most of us) should have left behind after our bar-hopping twenties, finding someone attractive can be done without eye-fucking them like a creep.

Its nobody. It’s a fake person to avoid mentioning anyone in particular.

Like referring to “Johnny Punchclock” or “Joe Everyman”

I presume it’s because she’s seen in somewhat of a “senior leadership” position.

Johnny Beluga, the esteemed congressman from butt-munch, Iowa might have five times more illicit gains than her, but no one knows who he is, so fewer people would watch the news to hear about him.
