There has been folklore in the gay community for decades that prostate issues & cancer are related to not ejaculating regulating. Interesting research.

Convert wine into urine.

The Monroe Doctrine, everyone in South America knows about it. It’s the excuse to fuck around in everyone’s business in the western hemisphere since 1823.

And when pushed. They don’t even know why they want that. Just spun up on propaganda hate/chemtrail/antivax mind control videos.

It’s a burning platform, and the future isn’t bright. IT and security would love to get rid of Windows desktops, they are nightmare to manage and secure. Problem is legacy.

But who still uses native Windows Apps other than Office? Legacy apps are out there, but also being migrated to low code browser apps. Even Office is an web app and Microsoft has been converting their ‘native’ apps into browser containers. Point is that Almost everything runs on a web browser and that is what kids have been using in schools for nearly 10 years. To date, ChromeOS is widely used in some roles (contact center, some back office). Developers, graphics, video, marketing, executives, along with most sales often use Mac, and nearly every enterprise uses both Android and IPhone /iPad OS.

Fight Club was Chuck saying fuck you to publishers for rejecting his work was too edgy etc. So he went all out, and not only becomes a published book, but a movie.

“Under Spanbauer’s influence, Palahniuk produced an early draft of what would later become his novel Invisible Monsters (1999), but it was rejected by all publishers he submitted it to. Palahniuk then wrote a second novel, expanding on his short story, “Fight Club”.[9] Initially, Fight Club was published as a seven-page short story in the compilation Pursuit of Happiness (1995),[10] but Palahniuk expanded it to novel length (in which the original short story became chapter six); Fight Club: A Novel was published in 1996.[11]”

Linux for desktop. MacBook Air for my laptop, only because of Microsoft Office. Bought a cheap Office for Mac 2021 licence. Mac is also much better than Windows 11 too: responsive, Fast wake/sleep, no 20 minute reboots with mystery updates, no registry, no Powershell. If you can avoid Office documents and run an AMD GPU, anyone should be golden on Linux. NVidia is fine if you are comfortable with command line. Not really sure what Windows has going for it except inertia, but if your coasting, you are going downhill…

Reminds me of making it pay someone 1 trillion dollars.

There is a great movie!

Poor XMPP, no one will just let it die.

I think this is part of some effort to destroy the last of the public’s confidence in these institutions after their COVID handling fiasco. The health risks and elevated risks of dying is true, but in a couple studies were similar to cycling or walking on city streets, and nowhere near the risk from sedentary lifestyles and social isolation.

All he people I’ve known over the years with alcohol problems weren’t fretting over 5 ‘standard drinks’, they were drinking well over 15 drinks every single day. Also, they didn’t think they had a problem. Except with sleeping, a couple ounces for a nightcap, or shakes in the morning, a quick swig or so for that.

Someone has a drinking problem when they can’t stop. Doesn’t matter how much someone drinks in one sitting or even during some horrible week at work.

Obviously to upset fragile beings in the future that believe biology is defined by electrical connectors.

I present to you the IBM hemaphroditic connector!

AWS Q with Claude was the first truly eye opening results and that was only earlier this year. Cline with Claude and Qwen3 coder (weeks old) is truly remarkable. MCP servers such as Context7 dramatically reduce lying and guessing as the model has access to accurate information vs quantized outdated memory.

Marketing set expectations too high, and most people try something and if it doesn’t work, they are been there, done that, not trying again.
Copilot sucks, and GPT doesn’t impress me much.

There is something here, but it’s not fully baked and still missing some ingredients. I laugh at the AGI people and I hope they enjoy their hallucinations, but naysayers are a dime a dozen and I don’t hear them saying anything insightful.

True, I think I’ve played more Mass effect on my PS5 than PS5 games. I assume it is leading faster at least… not a good investment. I should have stuck with my PS4 Pro.

Not knowing about Incus (LXD). It’s a life changer. Would never run any service on bare metal again.

Using GenAI to develop my Terraform and Ansible playbooks is magical. Also, use it to document everything in beautiful HTML docs from the outputs. Amazing.

Then I hope the people responsible are turned in by their parents. Sad state of affairs.

No, but if there is an emergency results in a plane landing in the US everyone is deplaned, what happens next? Who knows anymore.

The article is clear, the market is reacting to Argentinians voting against Milei in mid-term elections, which also wasn’t in line with expectations. His policies are very popular with the market.

Argentina is a financial basket case from years of corruption and government overspending and printing money. I’m not surprised that the enthusiasm for his drastic fiscal restraint has waned quickly. There is no easy way out of these messes.
