An adult secret I love to teach kids is that none of us really know what the fuck we’re doing either, we’ve just gotten better at winging it over the years.

You say that, but eventually CDs will stop being produced.

Floppies still exist, but they are more and more difficult to find in the wild.

In the grand scheme of things, we’re all animals.

Push any of us far enough, starve us enough, etc.

This is why we have self-defense laws. It is inherently understandable that under duress a person (or lion) will act outside of their usual nature to secure food, shelter, or safety.

That being said, this is no way in defense of any mass-shooter types. There is a difference between self-defense and mass-murder.

I mean, really the modern equivalent is throwing your phone at a hard surface.

It certainly makes a statement. Fuck all of this to the point I’m going to sever contact with the world and throw away a ton of money.

If an amateur mycologist picks and eats the wrong mushroom that an LLM said was fine to eat, is the LLM liable for the death legally and/or financially?

I mean, I know better than to pick random mushrooms and eat them, but I don’t really care for mushrooms - though some have some delightful effects when metabolized, lol. The only ones of THOSE I tried, I knew who grew them, and saw the “operation,” and reviewed his sources before trying one.

Call me paranoid, but I’m not blindly trusting a high school drop out to properly identify mushrooms when professionals make mistakes to the point where any mycologist will tell you, DON’T TRUST PICS OR THE INTERNET.

It can be too difficult to tell from those sources, and I doubt the LLM and the human asking questions have the right wavelength of discussion to not produce misleading, if not entirely fabricated, results.

Yeah, I shave my head fairly routinely (damn genetics) and a bar of soap is generally fine for head, face, and body. Though if I’m growing my beard out past the “scruff” level my wife generally likes, I’ll apply some beard oil there.

I have definitely used some “girly” body wash in a pinch though.

I lived on the street next to a high school.

The primary entrance to both the high school and the rest of the neighborhood was appropriately named Funnel.

Getting out of the neighborhood was sometimes the longest part of my journey, and that was driving from the suburbs into downtown on a notoriously traffic ridden (and always under construction) freeway - they liked to close exits with little to no notice sometimes requiring massive rerouting. Was late a couple times because of that, but the traffic right at the start of the commute was the worst.

A combination of high schoolers who can’t drive, and half asleep parents who need more caffeine or less kids - probably both - as well as pedestrians and kids on bikes. I don’t know about your area, but cyclists in that area did not abide by traffic laws and no one stopped them, so they kept doing it. More than a few people died at that crossing in the ~5 years I lived there.

Thankfully, I usually only saw it bad on my way home in the morning (medical IT, I worked nights).

Covering some other shifts though? Whew, I had to leave at least 30 minutes earlier than I would for a night shift.

I mean, the US put out the game America’s Army as a recruitment tool.

Passably decent multiplayer shooter for its time. Good enough to kill some time with.

Play: Hockey, at least in theory. I’m a lot older and more beat up than I was back then, lol.

Watch: I guess hockey? I dunno, I enjoy going to games. I more watch because its on somewhere, or other people wanted to watch, or whatever. I don’t really watch sports on my own.

Put it in front of a group of DND players, or any other table top RPG really.

They’ll weaponize it before the session is over.

I’m a gamer, and I do…

Then again, I’m mostly excited about using CUDA cores for cracking hashes and the like, lol.

Anybody have a pic of the underside of a Cybertruck? Need to scope out a place with airflow but limited visibility.

There is at least one asshole in my general area who needs a come-uppance.

Yep, seen them in Dallas and Fort Worth too.

I felt that way about CyberPunk 2077 and CDPR.

CDPR hadn’t let me down. Yet. Ultimately, they redeemed themselves, sure, but at launch… whew, there were issues.

Game companies CAN redeem themselves. Business wise though? Its hard to recoup that kind of shaken faith in investors, board members, etc; let alone the people you’re actually trying to sell to.

There are so MANY fucking games out there these days, that I’ll look at something new, and decide I don’t like certain elements of the gameplay, and just move on.

If a feature looks more frustrating than fun? I’m good, thanks.

I’ve played hard games on the hardest setting for the challenge. I’ve also played “easy” just to get drunk and enjoy a story.

If it isn’t fun though? Then what am I doing here?

I already spend 8+ hours a day on the computer and hate it, but at least they pay me.

Baldness can either cripple you, or make a man of you.

Once you accept it. Rock it. Own it… well, IT at least doubles in size, results may vary.

I will not be taking questions, please refer to the Mr. Sins. If he is not available, Sir Stewart will happy to demonstrate on your mother.

Texan here as well.

Yes, the sex education that was provided was horrible, probably still is.

Thankfully, between the internet and other sources of factual information, most of us figured it out. Most.

That being said, there were quite a few girls who left our campus for a long duration, and some for a shorter duration.

Well, I was in a networking class and me and my friends were poking around the network.

Now, what we did was in no way shape or form hacking.

We navigated to the nurse’s computer, labeled for convenience, and started poking around. Open access to it. HIPPA information, etc.

Anyways, the girls who left for a long time got knocked up, had a baby etc.

The short timers were usually a combination of suspension and some STD.

We missed the next period reporting the security concern to administration.

We did not mention we were responsible for the network outage the previous month; but if a batch file placed in the autostart of a few computers can bring the school down, they deserved it. We just wanted to cause some chaos and blow off a day where we all had classes in computer labs.

I decided to be a smartass once and made a 63 character long password.

It wasn’t too bad at a keyboard, though if you make a type you’re screwed.

Trying to use my AD account to access admin tools on printer? I got it fixed, and immediately changed my password, lol.

Don’t forget his vampire character from Bloodlines.

He’s mostly in the tutorial though he does show up later.

Except, no?

Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

It was a cheap way to keep them from violently revolting. Even then, it didn’t always work.

Speaking of violent revolt against an oppressive system, where are we at?

Don’t forget his choice in condiments.
