This is a seriously stupid issue.

Why can’t we deal with this like twitters name change where everyone basically ignores it and just keeps calling it the same name as before?

Here in St Louis they just shoot each other for fun

St. Louis officer gets 7 years for killing female colleague while playing Russian roulette

Did those scientists never read jurassic park?

Not that bringing back the dodo bird or mammoths would have quite the same effect probably but species go extinct for a reason.

I went to the March for Science and was glad I did. It was cold and rainy but everyone was having a good time. Got to hear some great speakers and geek out with other scientists. It was really encouraging to see the scientific community come together. I’m hoping we will see more of that this time around.

Omg they are hilarious.

If I was on the twitters (or Blueskys now I guess) I’d definitely follow them.

The font for the title looks like the font used for Campbell’s soup and I misread it at first thinking rhats what it said and wondered why anyone would make a movie about soup.

This movie looks considerably more interesting. Super excited to see Guillermo in something after What we do in the Shadows.

I remember this story coming out way back when Altman was kicked out of openai. Evidently shes been saying this for a while and his standard response was that she was in poor mental health and was either imagining it or making it up because of that. He comes across as a total nard and i tend to believe there was at least some dysfunction between them even if shes remembering things inaccurately. I hope the sister gets closure.

Yep. The guy got a large publicly available dataset (or one his university had access to) and mined it for interesting results to get a publication.

This seems like another crazy attention ploy that he likes to pull when he doesn’t want us to see what he’s really up to.

What is he trying to distract us from?

This means lenders will also be barred from using information about medical devices, such as prosthetic limbs, that could be used to require that the devices serve as collateral for a loan for the purposes of repossession.

What kind of sick dystopia do we live in where a prosthetic device could be used as collateral for a loan and reposessed???

Finally some f-ing good news for a change.

It ends with us is the undercover GOAT of this list, making about 14 times its budget, and with a relatively low cost of $25M.

Everything else cost more than $100M except Kung fu Panda and didn’t return nearly as much proportionally.

When Trump won the first time, I cleared out any news or politics subs on reddit and took political news off my news feed. It helped my mental health tremendously even if I couldn’t ignore it completely.

I know that it’s not great to be uninformed, but the stress news caused me was just getting overwhelming.

Okay so after skimming the article I saw that they developed what they call a “family of shapes” that were optimized for minimal heat transfer–but they didn’t provide any visuals? The images they showed in the article were of commonly available glasses instead. Couldn’t they sketch one up based on their models?

Seriously disappointing.

Fair enough. Maybe my concern is more with newer cars in general.

I don’t really care for this given the trend of newer car design.

I want to support the environment and all, but an EV car is going to be even worse than an ICE car with having everything controlled by touchscreens and collecting data that the car companies sell off to the highest bidder. It’s harder (if not impossible to customize or repair since the whole thing is based on proprietary software, and the average mechanic isn’t a software engineer.

Why can I just have an EV with a damn button for volume and AC controls?

Whenever I see this quote (or others like it) I hear it read in Bill’s voice from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Bill : Socrates [SOH -crates]- ’ the only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.

Ted: Dude, that’s us!

I have a withings and I really like it. Their privacy policy made me feel better about allowing my info on the cloud. You can run it offline (it sends weight via Bluetooth to the app but won’t show 7-day trend an scale screen without wifi). I don’t mind that, so I leave it disconnected. I don’t use a home assistant though so I can’t speak to that part.

I have the withings watch also, so I use the app as my catch all health tracker which works well. it’s nice to have everything together. Can’t speak to any others but I’d recommend withings.

When I worked in the federal govt I was horrified by how much contractors charged for everything. And the govies didn’t even bat an eye at paying for it; it was like they just expected things to cost 50-100x market cost and didnt argue with any of them.

How realistic is it that any of them will actually get rejected based on a background check? I mean, the public information on these people is bad enough and they still got nominated. Is the GOP rank and file really going to battle their great leader on these nominations?
