I’m very much against AI slop and hate how it’s the most prominent use in day to day life.

With that said, I work for a small government contracting company. We are careful about what we bid on, and of course it’s not a sure bet that we’ll get it. There is a lot of boilerplate stuff in these proposals. When I was on the bench, my boss asked me to help find some AI tools to help with proposal writing.

Honestly? I can see it being used in cases like this. I wish there weren’t so much fluff needed in these things, but that’s the hand we’re dealt. It’s not necessarily worth hiring another proposal writer for what we do, and I certainly wouldn’t use its output as-is without knowing what you’re proposing, but to get some decent starting verbiage, section by section, to be adjusted after? Yeah, I can see that being useful.

Sorry, am I missing something or are you saying these buildings within the vicinity of the falls are in Toronto? Toronto is over 50km/30 miles away

Also, as I learned from having a wife who needs to watch her sodium intake, less sodium doesn’t necessarily mean low sodium, which I believe has a legal definition. You may need to shop the higher end brands that come in cartons, not the store brand cans. But I think a little splash should help pretty well and last a while

I was going to say that’s a long time, then I realized I’m not too far behind! 18/13 for us.

We all have our kinks in the bedroom. I guess if you think women must be weak in the world, having them be strong in the bedroom could be one of them. And if you think I mischaracterized something about conservativism, that’s all the more reason the two things shouldn’t matter together

Assuming this question is serious, it sounds like you love a label and what you think it stands for more than the things you actually want. That’s even worse than missing the mark on one piece of a perceived package deal

It was kind of a meme that 2016 sucked. Then Trump got elected at the end and everything magically got better for everyone and we all lived happily ever after.

(Do I really need to include the /s here?)

Keeping them on edge 😏

• they are cable-less, thus need to be charged separately

I’ll give you that, but my bone conduction headset lasts a few days with the amount I use

• they are cable-less, thus it is easier to lose them

Meh. I’ve put corded earbuds in my pocket and probably worn them out faster that way. Bluetooth headsets I tend to leave on (much to my wife’s annoyance) and that makes them last longer in my experience.

• bluetooth implementation is a potential security vulnerability

Aha, that van outside must be tapping into me listening to The Dandy Warhols! I knew it! (In all seriousness, if security is that critical you probably shouldn’t be doing whatever it is over WiFi, which is pretty much unavoidable with a phone)

• transmission by radio will always be less energy efficient than transmission by wire

Are we really talking about saving energy here? That’s like… Moisture in the bucket levels. Not even a drop in the bucket

Would it have killed them to say who, though?

Oh yeah, clicks.

“I’m coming!”

Fuck that headline. It was the president of Portugal.

I live in Denver suburbia, travel to the Midwest a couple times a year, and would say that 95% of the ones I come across work just fine. Outdoor ones can be a lot more hit and miss but other than that things are pretty reliable.

Also, there’s a Lowe’s near me with… I want to say 6 of them all next to each other. It was a really oddly overbuilt setup.

More like you’ve gotten in the elevator fart-free with someone many times before, but then they planned to fart next time without telling you. We all know who did it, the problem is that the other person wasn’t aware that what happens in that elevator ride was going to change because they kept it a secret until the doors shut, and then there was no way out

So by that logic, everything they do is public, whether they talk about it or not?

Public now. Secretive at the time.

Boy, after getting a notification with this reply I had a hell of a time trying to figure out what I could have possibly said to spur it

So what you’re saying is, my eyes are also lungs?

It’s how you properly taste the soup

That video was so well done! I really wasn’t planning on watching a half-hour YouTube video all the way through but he kept it so engaging that it was a lot of fun to see what all he went through for such a silly idea
