There are some real sickos out there man

I miss my pixel 4a dearly. Found it in the old phone box the other day and couldn’t believe how little it was.

It’s not for poors

Those who would give up any measures of Liberty to purchase any amount of temporary Security deserve neither Liberty or Security.

I mean it’s obviously DAN isn’t it? Who else insures divers?

Gotta get a lung flute. You’ll puke after you see what you cough out. Next smoke hits like a truck too

Long time ex vaper here, maybe think twice about that. No, you’re probably not going to get popcorn lung, but there is gathering evidence that the residual pg that runs into your throat is really bad for your gut. I may have developed inflammatory bowel disease because of vaping, and my flare ups have lessened significantly since I switched to pouches. I also became vastly more addicted to nicotine on the vape than smoking, because I could use it anywhere and did.

Probably the most important thing is to stay away from disposable vapes. There’s no way to know the contents of the liquid, the integrity of the heating coil, or even where it came from usually. They are also really strong at 5% salt nicotine.

We got a new GMC 2500 for plowing at work last fall. My boss was a big truck guy and crowing about how awesome it was. Mechanically, it was alright I guess. I didn’t like the thousand speed Allison transmission.

Regardless, I made the boss sit in the driver seat, in drive, with his foot on the brake and told him to beep the horn when he could see me then crouched in front of the truck and walked forward. Took about 10 steps.

Repeated the same test with a treework company bucket truck International, easily 4 times the size. I can see the ground directly in front of the bumper.

It’s not about the size of the truck, that lack of forward ground visibility is deliberate. It conveys a feeling of assuredness somehow.

Cheap thrills? I’m trying to think of other fun little things I’ve nabbed. I always stock up on paper towels for the car from the gas station, but those are “free”. Oh! In the gun section of the hardware store there’s a parts drawer cabinet just like the ones for nuts and bolts just gun hardware. There’s a pile of “complimentary” tweezers, I have quite a few.

I just like stealing really low value little trinkets

You… you didn’t refute walking around with an undried bum…

New challenge unlocked

I absolutely mean smuggling

I live in Maine and the market is so flooded nobody can even grow straight for the black market and compete anymore, it’s all spills over from licenced grows. $80/oz for top shelf if you look around a little, $100 if you don’t. It’s almost impossible to spend more than $200. That has to be having farther reaching effects.

I have a feeling it probably must be though. What other countries are pumping out literal metric tons annually?

Or the DNA all over them, right guys?

And the rules based international order has been exposed as the wink during a handshake deal. Who cares about patent law?

We grow pretty good weed too, that isn’t nothing.

Challenge accepted

With a clipboard you could probably just walk in and start unplugging things

I think machine learning has a vast potential in this area, specifically things like running iterative tests in a laboratory, or parsing very large data sets. But a fuckin LLM is not the solution. It makes a nice translation layer, so I don’t need to speak and understand bleep bloop and can tell it what I want in plain language. But after that LLM seems useless to me outside of fancy search uses. It’s should be the initial processing layer to figure out what type of actual AI (ML) to utilize to accomplish the task. I just want an automator that I can direct in plain language, why is that not what’s happening? I know that I don’t know enough to have an opinion but I do anyway!
