    A belief system fundamentally incompatible with ours. There will be no "cultural enrichment"; only a winner and a loser.

    Large language models at this stage are similar to human NPCs, spouting narratives, aggregated from all the noise out there, without knowing what they are talking about and therefore lacking the awareness of potential consequences.

    If you can do this without taking 1% of your attention away from what you are supposed to do -clearing and verifying the status of the chamber without sweeping anything- than have at it if you crave the showmanship. The problem is people with lesser skills trying to look cool. Especially in...

    The ND of the SWAT member was most likely due this annoying and dangerous fad of racking the slide and catching the ejected round out of the air in an attempt to look cool rather than actually verifying an empty chamber. If he had kept his eyes on the chamber, he would have seen the magazine...

    Elon Musk announces the "American Party"

    FIFY: Right now, we are in dire need of people who want to do hard, decently paid, manual labor. On the other end of the spectrum, our school system has sucked so badly for so long that we need a lot of H1B (minimum: hard science BS) people to keep hi-tech going. Similar issues exist in the...

    Superior Walls is a great product especially in areas where access for concrete trucks and concrete pumps is limited. If you have an underground basement, then they first dug a hole in which they erected the prefabricated panels on top a compacted gravel bed. After backfilling around the...

    Elon Musk announces the "American Party"

    I am debt free and would like our country's debt to decrease. However, the important metric is debt to income or debt to GDP for a country. If our economy grows leaps and bound, then the projected 3 to 4 Trillion of additional debt are OK and will be reduced by increased tax revenues. I wish...

    Nice. I like what looks like interspersed clover. A natural degree of species variety makes lawn more resilient to precipitation and temperature extremes.

    Hide victors of the yard... looking for some suggestions here...

    You can't expect anything other than broadleaf weeds to grow on what looks like dirty gravel. Hate to say it, but you need several truckloads of topsoil and a tiller. My neighbor grows a few acres of hay for his horses on top rated soil around his house. Zero maintenance and looks like a golf...

    Contact your Ag Extension office. Whatever you are seeding and how you maintain it has to be compatible with the soil and the local climate. If the soil is too shitty you need to fix that first.

    Elon Musk announces the "American Party"

    I would expect that most of the current MAGA crowd will get behind Musk in order to ditch the RINOs. Hopefully, Trump is man enough to endorse this on his way out as a fuck you to the RINOs who undermined his first term and are still scheming against the MAGA agenda. Let's also hope that the...

    Elon Musk announces the "American Party"

    Please explain what a staged spat between Trump and Musk would achieve that could not have happened without the spat and the new American Party. I am curious.

    Flooding in TX Hill Country/Kerrville

    This is heartbreaking, especially while still dealing with the fallout of Helene in Western North Carolina. Prayers sent. What I considered the result of "due diligence" in picking my previous campsites near water was really just being lucky. Yes, I stayed well over the highest visible water...

    It is not just about benefits but about the benefit to cost ratio. Trump is in the process of sharply increasing the cost factor and fortunately the Dims are supporting his play by howling over Alligator Alcatraz and ICE raids. Every MSM outrage of how bad illegals are treated is worth a couple...

    Bitch being oblivious to the fact that unfettered immigration hurts her constituents more than anyone else. I pity everyone who votes for these con artists.
