It took me a little while to realise they just mean the tickbox you select to remember your password, rather than some special prompt being fed into Claude, along the lines of “make no mistakes” or “don’t hallucinate”.

Annoyingly, getting a 2/3 majority would be easier in Congress.

Yes, but that’s even worse as it requires more Republican representatives to flip.

Easy, just download and print the machine.

I have 64GB of DDR4, but only a 5600XT. Held off on a graphics card upgrade a little too long and missed the boat, but I still get by just fine. And I can happily say I’ve never paid more than 500 for a graphics card lol

The real kicker for me is that I was considering asking my employer to upgrade my work laptop from 8GB in 2025, but didn’t because I wasn’t doing anything intensive for work. Then after the RAM prices went through the roof they started having me doing CAD work.

Yours GPU is especially a relic given that it’s EVGA.

Could be setting up a fall guy?

I’m already halfway there!

But unfortunately it led to me ordering Five Guys delivered…

Also they 3D print metal eg for rockets.

Most good cars have ABS.

Honestly that 2/3 majority thing, implemented all over the US in various ways, was only ever meant to prevent progressive change for the good of everyone. And it apparently works very well.

In 2024 Florida had weed legalisation and enshrining the right to abortion on the ballot, both had 55% support, both failed to pass.

Impeachment requires a 2/3 majority in the Senate.

But it does require a 2/3 majority.

There’s also the looming hammer over RAM and GPU manufacturers for price fixing. They’ve literally strong armed AI companies to buy chips that they don’t have the data centres or power supply to run yet, and by the time they do the chips will likely be obsolete.

It doesn’t suck to be a PC gamer, we have a massive library of 3 decades worth of games and a growing library of near-native emulation.

It just sucks when you’re trying to lick up the floor around AAA developers. But that sucks for consoles, too.

Unfortunately impeachment requires a 2/3 majority in the Senate to be meaningful, which still is very unlikely.

More likely the Trump admin will try to use Hegseth as a scapegoat and fire and replace him.

Trump, whose net approval rating in Maine was –32 on Election Day and who lost the state to Kamala Harris in 2022.

Huh? 2022??

Was this article written by hallucinating AI or was there some other vote in 2022? Because 2024 was the election between Trump and Harris.

It’s crazy to me that you can just walk to the back of any grocery store to the glistering wall of pink sheets and just grab one without any sense of reverence, or thought to what’s required to keep that dreaded wall fed 365 days of the year.

This is an incredibly succinct way of putting it, thank you.

Cocoa is vegan. Chocolate is usually made with milk products to make it more palatable. The chocolate in peanut M&M’s has milk in it, so they are not vegan.

Except these days milk is largely substituted with palm oil recipes, which is much cheaper, but creates a worse product (often described as waxy) while the industry producing it is tearing down virgin forests for farm land.

Not sugar, but milk products are typically used to turn cocoa into chocolate.

Are you stupid? Genuine question

Liar. You’re just being a dick here. No bother though.

Like I said before, what matters is what we do before we eat them. Industrial farming practices are where I see the real problems at - and the key thing is that this is an issue for both meant and plant farming.

Plant based diets can definitely be more efficient, although palm oil is also vegan (and palm oil farming is currently the cause of a massive amount of habitat loss), so just because you have a plant based diet doesn’t mean it’s perfect. But what I’m saying here is that eating plants is not inherently more righteous than eating animals. In practice, it almost certainly is (mainly because of farming practices), but not inherently.
