Usually charger brick or just brick

My son once took all the cards our of my wallet and put them in the printer/scanner that we never use. I only found out 2 years later when I finally went to print something and there was a jam, opened the scanner lid to get inside and boom.

Could be there.

I always wanted to have a farm and be well off enough that I could take a good portion of the yield and just give it out in my old neighborhood.

Kids there are starving, most of them have never seen an eggplant, it’s cheap ultraprocessed food or half moldy apples from the food banks.

I know there’s a lot of other stuff too, but I think food education is pretty important, most of the adults I knew didn’t know how to cook resulting in everyone eating worse for more money, thinking they couldn’t afford to eat any healthier.

Although at this point my old neighborhood has been gentrified and filled with $3000/m studio apartments. I’d probably also buy out the neighborhood and give it back to everyone who lived there 10 years ago.

It’s been rough where I am. We’ve basically abandoned the living room and have all been cramming into one room with the AC on.

Even with the AC blasting in the living room it was 93 degrees fahrenheit inside

Looking through these comments I don’t know what half of this stuff is and I don’t think I want to.

My wife’s freind came over the other day and asked me if I could fix her new glasses because they were crooked, being polite I said I liked them (they’re hideous but to each their own), and she responded “thanks they’re D and G, they only cost me $700”. These were $700 glasses with no additions. No blue light thing, no scratch resistant stuff.

I don’t care for that.

A quick search on eBay for “chromebook gm02xl battery” shows me a ton of battery for under $20 with shipping, saw one for $12 with free shipping.

As a kid I always said I wanted to “work on the computer at home so I could take care of my farm”.

Which coming from where I grew up was about as realistic as owning the moon.

I do think dreams have gotten more generic with a lot of kids aiming for that influencer life, but the other day I heard a neighborhood kid say he wants to be a deep sea monster truck driver. I’m not sure what that means but I love it.

My wife and I are in the process of buying our second home. When we went to get preapproved we were worried we wouldn’t qualify for the mini farm we were looking at. We qualified for more than we needed just on my income alone. I make $78k a year and they said they’d give me close to $500k. Those payment would be almost my entire monthly paycheck.

It’s predatory.

Not exactly quiet but works for me because of the layout of my house.

I go to the laundry room which is on the other side of the house from the bedrooms, turn the kitchen light on, laundry room like off (so it’s light enough to see but pretty dim), sit on the washer and play sad songs on my guitar.

It’s therapuetic and after about 20 minutes I’m just exhausted.

Out of the 8 cousins in my family the 2 of us that didn’t go to college are the only ones who own a house. I didn’t finish 10th grade and I’m looking at buying my second house and trying to figure out how to keep my current one to give to my mom.

My cousins are pretty cool (aside from a couple who are very spiteful) but my aunts and uncles act like I scammed them all for everything they had.

~3tb of a jumbled disgusting mess of miscellaneous files. Somehow it all works on jellyfin though.

I’d be down to try something new if you do end up releasing something. Jellyfin works just fine but I’m not in love with it.

Accept our lard and savior, he is everyone’s dicta… I mean president. Join us, it’s definitely not a cult.

Do it during the week

This might be fake, but I have a neighbor like this.

She’s been freaking out about groceries, the price of her meds going up, now losing her insurance.

I’ve helped her out a lot more than any orange has the last few months, yet she still spouts about how great he is. Although now with much less enthusiasm, and if you don’t put trumps name in the conversation she sort of comes back to reality a little and can realize that a bill gutting social safety nets to give the 1% a huge tax cut isn’t a fair deal.

It’s a cult.

We were all that sucker at some point

I’d be fine with this as long as the packaging was also cardboard. When I see a drink in a full plastic cup with a soggy paper straw I’m baffled.

I’ve been getting by just fine with a couple standing fans. I’ve had to turn the ACS on a couple times for my kids when I was around 110F

Before going full blast AC in all the rooms I’ll turn on the big Window unit in the living room and set up fans so it blows the cold air through the whole house (our house isn’t big) and I find its a good middle ground. It cools down the rooms pretty well.

Back in my early days of Linux I ran this exact command, I forget why, but for some reason my WiFi stopped working immediately after and then SELinux started yelling at me for some reason. I tried to fix SELinux and most certainly commited an innumerable amount of cardinal sins.

I had to reinstall whatever distro I was running at the time

Seems like a solid solution. Why doesn’t everyone just do that?

I think your missing something big here.

A while back when one of the popular models came out it blew all the others away in benchmark tests. That got my coworker and boss super excited, we started coming up with different ways AI can help us. Thankfully as I pointed out, our software is proprietary and super secret, and all it took was a couple Google searches to find out a lot of those companies leak data like crazy and AI will just tell other people your secrets if they ask in the right way. So we needed to run our LLMs locally, but for that we’d need some beefy specs. I did the research, wrote a neovim and sublime plugin to integrate our local LLMs in a ‘copilot’ kind of way. My boss ordered my coworker and I whatever the new macbooks are with 128gb of memory to fit our lovely AI models, bought me a desktop tower and a few GPUs. Then I went on a 3 month paternity leave, came back and have heard nothing about AI since aside that my coworker switched to vs code to try and use continue but got frustrated, switched back to sublime and doesn’t use AI anymore.

So yeah, AI got me 2 new maxed out spec machines and 2 weeks of fuck around time writing plugins that were not nearly as complex as everyone thought, just because AI was involved.

For real though, I’ve tried quite a few times but 9/10 it fails me and I end up spending more time messing around with prompts than it would’ve taken me to do the thing. Occasionally when I have a mile long error message or something super obscure I’ll pass it to ollama and it seems to do well with wittling it down for me, that’s about it.
