Bertolli is good.

Some people are into absolutes and don’t realize that such a state does not exist. I respect the people who accept that the listed products do reduce atmospheric pollutants, but that there will be a significant baseline of those pollutants in a green economy, until we develop alternatives.

A lot of the minerals used in construction of the listed items come from conflict zones that still have actual human slavery, and plenty of violence. But nothing is perfect. Hopefully we can get to lab innovations that allow for the manufacturer of alternatives.

Yeah, I saw that. No freaking edit capability. I am sure that I typed “duck”. At least mentally I typed it.

Just block my posts. Simple solution. Try not to be so cringe melodramatic.

I don’t eat Swedish meatballs any more because I gave up stuff that was addictive to me, tops were Swedish meatballs/sauce and refrigerated peanut butter cups. But when I ate Swedish meatballs, downing a dozen in a single setting, with plenty of sauce going down with them was not unusual for me.

Wow, you don’t mess around. That is impressive for a hobbyist gardener.

I guess you are ok with millions of people dying. Not surprising. People pointed out that Trump wanting to end USAID would cost millions of lives - before the election - some people were calling Harris “Killer Kamala” because of GAZA. Now 500,000+ children are dead in just over 1.5 years of Trump

When you upgrade your computer, you will have to buy a subscription if you use Windows. I don’t know about what Apple does because I have never used a Mac. I do use IPhone.

What is costing the economy is profiteering. When a phone or computer company sells a device for multiples of what it cost to make them, with no true justification for the markup, people are going to hold onto their money and use their old stuff until it finally breaks.

over and I went out and found books about the atomic bomb, that led to the Manhattan Project, J. Robert Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi. The “atom” word led me to books about the Bohr atom model. I could not understand any of it, but what I now realized came out of it was how I resolved curiosities.

I learned about Robert Oppenheimer in the second grade. We had a lesson about how kids were taught to fuck and cover during a nuclear blast (I guess so that they would not see the last seconds of their lives). Atomic bombs were mentioned and the teacher said the word “atom”. My curiosity took

slow the expansion of datacenters is exactly right. There are too many big problems with them that have not been solved. In time those problems will be solved, but is the price that could be paid moving to that future worth paying? My answer is no, slow down and develop safe fixes.

Early horseless vehicles were nasty and dirty and people got hurt. So the example is exactly like what we are seeing with datacenters. People in power rushed forward to use something when the significant drawbacks were not worked out before large scale implementation. BTW, I believe the push to

Correct.

The death toll in Europe in WWII was 35-40 million people. In the Pacific theatre of that war, around 39 million people died, about 26 million of whom were civilians. Given the dynamics of the Pacific war, an invasion of Japan was vowed as a potential very bloody endeavor.

Good example. There was a lot of discussion about whether to use the bombs, one side for it, the other side against it. The side that was listened to made the claim that using the bombs would have avoided the loss of potentially millions of lives that a land invasion of Japan would have caused.

wanted to try to have it design a promotion for a product. So I tried it, what came out looked impressive, but from me being knowledgeable of the product I knew that it was all wrong and I did not use it. I manually set up my own promotion.

That is why no fucking serious person use AI without putting a check on it’s output. The cartoonist most likely went through an interactive routine to get to the final product, they likely rejected many AI outputs. A personal example, one of my marketing sites deployed AI and asked whether I
