The fact these cowards are allowed to wear masks is riot-worthy.
Imagine doing your job and you need to put on a mask specifically to hide your face—and not questioning whether you’re one of the bad guys.
Assuming they didn’t fix it, add Intelligence drain on self 100% for 1 second and get your full mana back afterwards. But you can’t alter your intelligence above 100 or it’ll stop working.
Discovered it way back in Morrowind days. OP as hell but plenty of fun. Doesn’t work in Skyrim, can’t remember why, they probably got rid of intelligence drain on self.
Nah, you’re safe to run it locally. You’re downloading the specific model, that’s right, and it’s not an exe. As you ask questions of it, the inference step, that is sent directly to the model on your machine by the ollama interface. Nothing goes over the network after you download a model and there is no scanning involved; that’s just not how it works.
Here’re my two cents. I’m in the US with nearly two decades in engineering for experience. And I started programming young, like you; it’s very much a passion for me.
There are great places out there. Look for the roles that are going to expand your skill sets. More money is nice, but long term you’ll benefit more from pushing your boundaries. Ask lots of questions about the team when you’re interviewing—that can give you plenty of insight. And get comfortable with AI programming. That’s a seismic paradigm shift happening right now and embracing it can help you leapfrog others. Right now I like Windsurf AI.
And I get how this sequence of events you laid out is dispiriting—it would be for most imo. Personally, I think it’s worth the pursuit if it’s something you’ve enjoyed since such a young age.
Happy to answer more if it helps.
“Mackie estimates he ‘put in 10,750 hours of training’ before landing that life-changing job. He was proactive, too: He wrote letters to executives at Disney's Marvel Studios over a decade ago in the hopes of landing a role in one of the studio's popular superhero films…”
That sure sounds like hard work to me. What do you think luck is, my guy? It’s putting yourself out there, building connections, and making things happen. That’s how it works. If you sit on your couch all day a studio exec isn’t going to ring you up for a staring part in a marvel movie.
In fact, I might go so far to say his flavor of “luck” exists to prop a person up as a standout above others—destined to be so.
The glove joke is that only Steamboat Willie is in the public domain. Wearing the gloves makes him Mickey Mouse, which is why he should absolutely not wear them as his copyright hasn’t expired.
The other doors look like Donald Duck, Superman, and I guess James Bond? I assume their copyright expirations are coming soon—in that order.
This guy was appointed during Trump’s first term. Back then I remember this gutting/privatization of the USPS being a topic of discussion. I kept expecting to hear that Biden had replaced him; I wonder what made him keep him.
Well, plastic’s already in our brains and testicles so we might as well get whimsical with it at this point.
I love Megyn Kelly’s all caps vitriol beside the admission that she barely cares about football. What a life. The smoke signal goes up and you jump online to shit-stir—transparently so.
Do people in America actually believe Vaccine cause autism or is bad for health? Or Is it a joke?
Yup. Plenty of us sure do! It stems from bogus autism research by Andrew Wakefield like 20 years ago. There are a myriad of reasons for people to buy into it. We’ve even enabled them with religious exemptions at the state level (i.e. it’s against your religion to vaccinate).
Louisiana has even stopped promoting them, https://abcnews.go.com/Health/louisiana-health-department-stop-promoting-mass-vaccination/story?id=118819674
And we have a particularly nasty outbreak right now in one of our states because of vaccine avoidance, https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq8yvg5359po
That’s the kindle app. At least that’s what it looks like on my iPad.
You “forbid her from doing that”. You don’t infringe on someone’s agency so fully unless it could lead to direct harm; running with a shirt on doesn’t count. You should reflect on what made you take such a stance—maybe get a therapist yourself.
Yeah. You’re the bad guy. To put it lightly.
My god, just let things alone.
Nuclear war would be absolutely apocalyptic. Lookup the US policy on “Launch on Warning” and “Hair-trigger alert”. Russia has the same thing and China by this point probably does, too. If the US were targeted those doctrines would come into effect and we’d go into “escalate to de-escalate” mode. And that’d make it worse.
There would be multiple thousands of warheads launched around the globe. EMPs would be detonated in the atmosphere, continent-wide power grids would fail. A single Ohio-class nuclear submarine has more destructive power than every bomb, including the two nukes, dropped in WWII — and they’d light the place up. And then you have all the various contamination in the air, soil, and water that would be cycled through the ecosystem for hundreds and thousands of years.
Pockets of people would live, certainly, but it’d be awful. Like Khrushchev said, “the survivors will envy the dead.”
I love how he can straight-face call the decision a “purely political move” that undermines “election integrity”. Maybe soon the brain worm can find a brief moment to spare for self-reflection.
I haven’t regretted it. Though if you were to do consistent long drives, and only have one car, I might suggest checking out PHEVs.

The thing about Morrowind for me was that it was so completely alien. It wasn’t just more sword and sorcery in the British countryside but instead unleashed ridiculous magic where people lived in giant shells/mushrooms and the fauna was like nothing I had ever seen. To say nothing of the mechanics which I found more engrossing than the follow on games.
And then you get to Oblivion and Skyrim and they’re Britain and Norway. Cool.
