“Unify” was the product line I was forgetting.

Pretty much what I gathered. Still haven’t heard Chappelle say anything awful, and you’ll note not a soul has replied with actual words from the man.

My yacht.

Maybe there’s something worse out there, but his trans jokes I’ve seen are far from hateful. When Chappelle first got flak over this I was afraid the jokes would be flat out evil. They could hardly be more mild.

Can anyone point to a particular joke that’s tearing trans people down? I don’t mean poking fun, I want to see the hate you all accuse him of.

Only manufacturer driver I install is Logitech’s software for their solar keyboard, though it’s not needed. Only driver you really have to install is Logitech’s “shared dongle” tech, forget what it’s called.

This would have landed better when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s.

Similar story, but I was the guy. Kinda.

Broke up with my gf (both about 50-yo) who lived across the street. (Dumb situation, I KNOW.) We were still fuck buddies. Our friend down the street was having a Christmas party. Told her we’d go as a date, just for the night.

Friend had a couple of young girls over no one knew, but he was, most literally, banging one in his bedroom. Flesh smacking, spanking, walls shaking, all that. Yikes.

My girl was out back talking to a mutual friend. The 20-something girl whose friend was getting banged was mad jealous of her friend getting laid, so she was hitting on me. I was looking sharp, wearing a tux, all that. (Picture for reference, not that night.)

My god. It took ALL my willpower to fight her off.

“I’m sorry, but I agreed to be with my friend tonight and I’m not going to hurt her.”

<grabs me and sticks her tongue in my mouth>

Heaven

“I’m not going to hurt her like this.”

She smelled and tasted like life itself. I now know what melange is. I could see through time.

“I can’t do this. Maybe another night?”

<grabs me, kisses me>

Rinse and repeat for 30 minutes.

Anyway, my ex and I went home and had freaky, tied-up-in-heels-and-fishnet sex. Very memorable. But I’d still kill or die for that 20-something girl. She gave me her number, blew me off the next day. Fine. :(

Anyway, after all the drama my ex caused me a month later, I should have fucked the other girl.

Anyway, I still have some little faith in my moral strength.

Anyway, still mad.

AI code is great for getting over a hump, something you’re stuck on. Used ChatGPT (not the best for coding, I know) to help on a PowerShell script. There was exactly two references on the internet for what I wanted to do (Google Calendar/Sheets integration). Spent hours on the problem.

ChatGPT gave me two things: One solution I didn’t know was a thing, another was a twist I hadn’t thought of. For giggles, I plugged the whole script in. Guess what? Failed instantly. Because of course it did.

No. LLMs don’t write working code. Yes. They can help you, assuming you know what you’re doing in the first place. But here’s the crux of using AI:

It does not, and cannot, give a shit about edge cases, user error and security.

I wrote a simple PS script to swap my TV screens around for work, play and movies. Rolled it out in 30 minutes. Took me 2 more hours to stupid proof it, test it, wrap it an exe, make an icon, deploy it, all that. AI can’t do any of that.

I’ve seen new architect kids and draftsmen make better renderings 15 years ago.

Gold doesn’t corrode, might be the best idea yet!

Changing one’s face enough to fool biometrics is so rare as to be discounted. Those bastard Tleilaxu Face Dancers though!

In America, if it has loads of legs, and preferably fuzzy, it’s a caterpillar. There may be exceptions, can’t think of one in any region.

Of course! I’m just mad at the simple-minded idea that there is no adolescence, only child or adult. The idea is ludicrous and harmful to the teens we’re raising to be adults.

I didn’t and wouldn’t say it does! But the difference shows that almost every state in the planet recognizes that teenagers are not “children”. It’s insulting to them at best, detrimental at worst.

A radio host was bemoaning the fact that her 17-yo daughter made a fire in the fireplace while home alone. Host was pretty upset.

Caller: “Did she do it properly?”

Host: “Yes, perfectly! We taught her to make a safe fire. But she’s a child! She has no business starting a fire without adults at home!”

I wanted to scream! In less than a year she can join the military, sign contracts, tell mom to fuck herself, go it alone, do everything but buy beer. And this is how you prepare her for adulthood?!

Sorry, the whole “child until 18” thing gets me bent. We’re trying to train these people to be adults, yet at the same time we tell them they have no agency until they’re 18, merely “children”? It’s fucking insulting and harmful.

That’s a small group and composed mainly of younger people who don’t vote. I built my own PCs from 1994 to around 2019. Now few people even own PCs, let alone build and upgrade.

I take a few tablespoons, stir it up in a coffee cup and chug it every night. Even if I miss a day, I’m generally OK, but miss 2 or 3 days, it’s a 2-3 day thing to get back to normal.

54 and just this year my neck has started to look stringy, especially in bright sunlight. Ugh. At least I can manually fix the hairy ears.

Just another tool for the mechanic to stock. They’ll be on eBay and Amazon soon enough.

I do that too. genx here… lol
