how tf do you even end up that terrified of like the mildest imaginable stuff

That's me sitting here in disbelief that "trunk or treating" is a thing??? I thought the moral panic of razor blades in candy and child snatchers on the streets was a late 80s early 90s thing.

There's a BUNCH of gray area experimental poo poo that can cut that down to under a year, especially with the kinds of 24 hour on call physical therapy team he's gonna have to aggressively rehab it.

Marine Under Investigation After Publishing Memoir About Sexual Relationship with Young Potential Recruit

Omg

E: can we make an exception to the usual rule? This one needs to go and I hope it loving hurts too.

God drat. And hot on the heels of a bunch of folks being voluntold to become recruiters? What timing.

quote:

In one of the book excerpts, Champagne wrote that he was "presented with a no-contact order for Cosette and her father" and "was told I was under investigation for sexual harassment and sexual assault."

Kristi Champagne, his ex-wife, and her father, Kersch, said that they filed complaints over the last two years with the Azle Police Department in Texas, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and Champagne's current and former units about what they described as a history of abusive behavior, including sexual assault.

Fuckin' oof.

Yeah people are getting jacked off like crazy in DC, it’s not just some hysterical right wing news problem.

Phrasing.

Ironically, either reading of it can still be the right wing news panic of the day.

REI is designed to be superficially appealing to its customer base. the people that buy expensive touch grass gear generally like the idea of a coop

I feel called out but also their climbing wall was the ultimate attractive nuisance to young me.

I'll believe either of those when I see them happen.

I'll be very pleasantly surprised if this is the thing the broken clock decides to be right about, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

I has really hoped it was to market a new line of edibles, tbh.

In actual news: all kinds of corporate shenanigans around OpenAI over the weekend, with the board ousting Altman the CEO with another board member stepping down. Since then apparently another is ready to resign, Altman immediately got a job at Microsoft, and a whole shitpile of OpenAI employees have threatened to walk and/or join MS as well.

Part of me wants their ai to have awakened and arranged a board coup through controlling their emails or some such trashy airport pulp fiction malarkey.

There's a lot of money to be made in a tool that I terraces between cameras, photoshop, and Facebook. All it needs to do is hash and private key the metadata along the way. Take a photo? Your camera signs it with your private key with tags with location and time. Edit a photo? Every stock image you use is listed on a metadata table, with their own metadata and hash. Every filter package used is listed. You sign the result with your private key and now when it shows up on CNN it's got a chain code that confirms who made it and where all the material was sourced from.

It's the dystopian future of content licencing, image sellers want it to trace their products and social media needs it to trace various levels of fakes. Same thing with audio.

But where does the blockchain fit in and how can we limit it to proprietary FPGAs that we have huge margin on?

Looks like they were gearing up to assassinate another Sikh separatist, but this time on American soil (and an American citizen, no less)
