Depends on mood and temperature.

ATI was bought by AMD in 2006 and the brand name phased out by 2010. So there’s still ATI cards, there just AMD instead.

They were always frequent and endless in the places I’ve lurked since the early days. It could have increased here with the influx of ex-redditors.

Using a reflective surface such as aluminum foil on the windows (shiny facing outside) will help. I’ve used contact spray adhesive on cardboard cut to size of window before. You can also get the bubble-wrap aluminum insulation.

Cut temps in my old studio from food-safe poultry temp to near ambient on the 100+F/40+C days.

Same can be said for WA, CA, ID, etc… Rural is rural.

100% the answer. I miss it so much. They salt like crazy around here and I can’t find a car with a solid frame for under $10k.

The Oregon used car market was insane before cash for clunkers. You could buy a car from the '80s for $750 and reliably drive it for 100k mi. more.

I despise Material You. Well, not Material You, but that it’s not optional. I miss non-pastel colors. I miss contrast. I miss better screen utilization.

Modern UIs have lots of functional improvements but visually they suck ass and they are an assault on customization.

I read it the opposite way because Rocky horror is so well done imo. I don’t even know what Mac & me is so i assumed it was the garbage end if the spectrum. Though if it’s one of the movies they made in IASIP then nothing make sense.

A low place indeed when even the high seas deliver not your treasure.

I’ve worked with hundreds of homeless people, usually trying to help them before the cops sweep their camp, or keeping their car rolling so they can keep living in it.

There was a ubiquitous set of conditions:

• can’t afford housing even though they had a job.
• lost identifying documents, usually in a sweep, and working on replacing them. You can’t get work without these.
• no reliable postal address
• no support network

I’ve never met anyone who wanted to be living on the street.

I’m not talking about crust punks train hopping. I’m talking about the people who missed a day of work for whatever reason and couldn’t make rent one month. Now they’re in a tent near available services because the shelter kicked them out after the max stay of a week.

Being a therapist gives you no expertise here and it seems to me that a therapist who sees punishment as a viable means for behavioral change is kind of shit at their job.

The amount of times I’ve looked at the Aussie and Japanese markets and just sat jealous…

It’s a political problem. Houseless people are there because there’s no political willpower to create systematic change to support them. So you’re absolutely right when you say:

we must either come up with new resources or reevaluate our investments in the resources we currently employ.

The only problem is the answer to this question is more often on the side of the investment not being worth it, so the problem is left unaddressed.

Pp size matters not, big truck people are still afraid.

I miss mini-trucks. Compact size cab with full size bed, engine from a sedan and 4wd. Good economy, much cheaper, great utility, better handling, less dead children, and a lot more fun out on the trails.

Caustic masculinity fear of smol pp ruins everything.

Correction,

liberals: “😘🌈 No”

Shelters, even if there was enough space, can be dangerous for vulnerable people, do not allow pets, and rarely provide medium term housing or transitional opportunity.

Anti-homeless architecture simply attempts to push the houseless further away from urban centers, and consequently food kitchens, shelters, and other resources. This is deadly when extreme weather occurs or acute health problems arise.

It actively makes the city more dangerous to those most fucked by society.

As far as “wanting” to live on the street, this is a narrative made up to victim blame and deny empathy. It only needs one or two examples for the false narrative to be cast on the population writ large.

Volunteer in outreach orgs or at events that are related to your interests.

There are also mutual aid orgs. They are almost always accessibility aware. Maybe check in with MADR. They may be able to point to local groups if you’re in the US.

There’s also Food Not Bombs which is great!

I did see them around as a child millenial. Not totally uncommon in older and public buildings until early 2000’s. The airblade dryers seemed to come in right as the last of these were phased out.

That’s a fair point when these LLMs are restricted to areas where they function well. They have use cases that make sense when isolated from the ethics around training and compute. But the people who made them are applying them wildly outside these use cases.

These are pushed as a solution to every problem for the sake of profit with intentional ignorance of these issues. If a few errors impact someone it’s just a casualty in the goal of making it profitable. That can’t be disentwined from them unless you limit your argument to open source local compute.
