So many pavement prince(ss) trucks in California, I feel like in the past you would see a back swing against democrats when gas prices soared, as people often attribute poor gas prices to democrats.

When the policies of DJ are so clearly the cause, will it have a different effect this time?

well now I have something to do this weekend if the weather is poor, thank you!

Honestly surprised Facebook didn’t try to harness all the open tabs of fb on different computers to try and create some kind of networked compute AI…

ah ok, I have some experience hosting Ollama and of course stable diffusion, but haven’t really messed with too many others, thanks for the insight!

For context and to your knowledge of the field, is Qwen 3.5 supposed to be cutting edge?

The Expanse sheds one I believe to be a plausible picture of our future, although it seems optimistic on some fronts.

Maybe? I think they used to advertise based on the content and expected demographics for the website, which is an alternative method that doesn’t require invasive digital fingering.

For sure, I’m just talking about the alleged correlation between the two events, as that is what the article is discussing.

It paints the Venezuela action as resulting in regime change, although I feel like it did not.

Right? Like I remember a day and age when the ads were not obtrusive and awful, I would happily go back to a middle ground with normal sidebar/in video ads.

I mean isn’t there a world where we have unobtrusive adverts that are for products people actually want, and can sustain the reporting?

I think people would use less ad blockers if the ads were not designed / placed in a way that feels almost seizure inducing at times.

Unfortunately I think threads/twitter might be the future as a type of open source reporting, as everytime I hit a pay wall I turn around and leave.

I don’t follow news in Venezuela real closely… But did much actually change there for your average day to day person?

Never fear, Chucky come lately is here!

Market go up, market go down, missile go up, missile go down.

Hey you read this situation better than I did, props, it was truly a TACO tuesday.

You’re totally right about the drones, I don’t think our military has the slightest clue what is coming for them on a war scaled against china, and I think China is actually the winner of this war, as saturation missile and drone attacks have been their plans for a long time (missile more than drone, but now why not both?!).

We keep defunding laser weapons, which may be for good reason, but I always imagine it is because their is no repeatable grift on a laser weapon unlike a missile which requires lots of military industrial complex funding and maintenance on a huge scale.

They definitely succeeded, our economy is pretty fucked. Curious what long term effects come from this.

As an aside, I would love to see a comparison of DJ’s 10 point ceasefire deal and the original Obama deal, feels like we are much worse off now as we are responsible for paying for both the weapons we launched, and the damage we did, how dumb can we be?

Cannot wait until butt stuff is no longer compromising, because who the fuck cares (as long as there is consent)?

Prolly gonna be 100 years to get to that point… But I hope it is sooner.

Yeah, one of my intel sources is a call for prefabricated bunkers from the pentagon on 3/28 with a request for delivery options on a 3 day, 14 day, and 30 day timeline.

Of course this could just be work to harden our bases since a lot of the infrastructure dates back to the early 2000’s, but I think it is a meaningful piece.

Unsure if there were any orders placed, or where the request went, so we may be a bit premature for putting in troops, I just do not really understand where DJ goes from here if he doesn’t make good on his threat - and they have been hitting kharg island all day.

Maybe that is the plan though, make Iran think we are going to launch troops tonight to see how they respond, or as a move of brinkmanship.

Of course, I am trying to apply rational logic to an actor we all know to be irrational, so you may end being right that this is all bluster and no planning.

definitely a strategic blunder, but then again what about this mission hasn’t been?

TACOs are always on the table at the white house, but I would support this one.

I really hope I am wrong. TACO is always on the table.

Betting they land troops on Kharg island tonight, or somewhere.

I would wish he would just die already but I honestly believe he is just a puppet with 80 different hands up his ass.
