Finance, there’s a whole lot of arcane statistics underlying risk management.

Tech, the bleeding edge of computer science is really just applied math.

Honey Dipper.

As long as you spin it (along the axis of the handle), the honey stays on the stick and doesn’t drip all over everything. When you stop spinning, it drips all over your food.

It’s a niche tool but 11/10 at its one job.

If you can afford $9/mo, YNAB (You Need A Budget) is a great app for managing income and expenses that don’t necessarily align on a calendar schedule.

I get that budgeting won’t make up for insufficient income, but if it’s actually the financial habits that are holding you back, this app works wonders for learning how to properly plan your expenses.

If you’re into open source stuff and are willing to spend more effort tinkering, ActualBudget is the same concept, but lacks some QoL features (notably, auto-importing transactions from your bank/credit card statements). But all the data stays in your hands, not some company, so that’s good.

It was so wild that I didn’t even notice the sex until my second watch

Synology, with QNAP as a close #2. There are other decent options, but they aren’t quite as polished so they may require more “actual computer knowledge” to troubleshoot from time to time.

This is something I have only ever heard white people argue for.

I don’t think this is a rating, but a diagram showing how tall the socks of the users of each distro are

Don’t kid yourself. Anti-porn lawmakers know that there are like 4 big porn sites and if you can shut down access to those ones, it is a huge step towards their goals.

There’s also the massive gray area of “what do YOU define AI to mean?”

There are legitimate use cases for machine learning and neural networks besides LLMs and “art” vomit. Like, what AI used to mean to gamers: how the computer plays the game against you. That probably isn’t going to upset many people.

(IIRC, Steam’s AI disclosure is specifically about AI-generated graphics and music so that ambiguity might be settled here)

Dwayne Johnson and Taylor Swift are Democrats in that they’re not actively pushing fascism. They’re still billionaires who are totally divorced from the problems an average working household sees.

Bob: “Do I see anything?”

[Rolls a 1]

DM: “You see nothing”

Bob: “Well, DM probably only said that because of my shit roll, I bet there’s something here”

Remember that time when the Trump campaign accounted for like 5% of ALL credit card fraud claims in the USA, for charging his supporters a monthly campaign donation when they thought they were doing a one-time donation?

Robotaxis exist and have a market. Tesla just isn’t the one doing it.

Waymo taxis are pretty common around me.

Lead pipes are less of an issue that it would seem, as the pipes quickly develop a layer of calcium salts on the inside, preventing the water from actually coming into contact with the lead.

By all means, they need replaced. But they’re nowhere near the contributor that leaded gasoline was. That stuff probably fucked up 6 distinct generations. If you lived in a city, you were inhaling lead constantly.

Biden did not pardon himself.

The knives are to stab each other the instant he dies, a la Stalin.

There is no changing the minds of their base, what matters is getting uninterested voters to realize they need to actually participate in democracy while we still have it.

Look, I don’t like defending Musk and I think he was involved with Epstein. You’re just acting like there’s some irrefutable proof here and there’s nothing until more of the files are released.

You can also invite people to things if you sorta-kinda know them and want to get to know them more. When you’re stupid-fucking-rich, inviting someone to your private island is less like “inviting them to a wedding” and more like “inviting them to a bbq”.

I can pretty much guarantee that nobody received an invitation that said “come on down to Epstein island for some kiddie fucking” like you’re implying. They were probably invited to a “party”, and those in the know, knew what “party favors” they’d find there.
