It's better than the Belgian club I went to that had urinals in the hallway that went to the ladies room. People were standing in the hallway talking too. It seemed odd to me, but the locals didn't seem to care.

They're just trying to promote their cop-out so they don't have to take responsibility. Inside, they know they are wrong, and they're fighting to ignore that. I have seen things change that I took part in. I've seen corporations change policy due to me, and others, shoving their crap back in their faces. I've been part of political movements that were successful, and I never thought I would see that success in my lifetime. I thought I was just laying groundwork for future generations to make the change. So this delusional person can cower under their lies to avoid the responsibility of making change happen, while a determined minority does the work. History is full of examples, and is often how change comes about.

Ah, the might be what we refer to as "wild strawberries". We see them on hikes quite frequently.

Buying electronics while Mercury's drunk on Gatorade?

What climate are alpine strawberrys meant for?

You prefer verbal instead? Telepathic? Body language? Sign language? I guess it depends on how close you are, and the likelihood of them feeling burned later. Or, to avoid that, without it being preserved in writing, pay the current ATH.

I'm thinking that any alliance Turkey makes with a country that isn't allied with Israel, he would consider to be an "Islamic alliance".

When the answer I get is completely useless. I've wasted my time. That is garbage in my book.

My first question to an LLM was for a recipe for THC-A diamonds. One of the steps was to decarb. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Later, I asked one to make an app with a button, where the text "Hello world" was displayed to the user after they press the button. The code wouldn't even compile. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Calling that "garbage" is a completely valid use of the word.

I think they're still afraid of getting egg on their face again.

After the "headline re-writer" flop, they pulled way back.

When Jobs ditched System x for OSX, his statement was something like, "I remembered that we're a hardware company, not a software company.", but that could have just been a marketing statement.

I've had output that wasn't total garbage this week when asking Claude about some troubleshooting issues with a couple of laptops. It's the first time that LLM responses for me weren't 100% useless. There were still several dead ends, but it actually had some real info as well.

I also asked it about some tech needed for a business idea I have, and it not only listed the off-the-shelf products needed, but expanded on other info needed to get the business plan nailed down. I asked if a few more questions, and basically have a path forward from just 4-5 prompts. Now I just need capital (of course), and to apply my usual business sense with some determination.

Is this the result of wanging it?

Not in my case! Full of hidden agendas, always playing mind games, and moving goal posts so there was no way to win. I don't know about jealousy, but it seemed like it. There was evidence of competition too.

No every parent is a good person.

I was quite relieved that I wouldn't have to encounter him when I learned that he died. I knew he would never acknowledge his abusive behavior, unwarranted insults, or blaming me for being related to my mother; much less apologize like the man he taught me to be.

Fuck those types of shitbags. Ditch them, and never regret it, as staying in an abusive relationship is self disrespect.
