@DemonHusky it has its perks, and I'd sure I'd find a way to love it. It doesn't help that over the last 10 years much of my experience with it involves cars.

And NoVA is just a write-off...

Huhhhh, I've never previously noticed definition (6)

Entry 6 is: "perp, perpetrator, culprit, offender, suspect (slang) (police slang;  often written as ใƒ›ใ‚ท)"

'Banks are now trying to offload the AI data center debt they just underwrote JPMorgan and MUFG are part of the group that has spent more than six months trying to distribute $38 billion in construction debt tied to a Texas and Wisconsin data center project leased to Oracle.' [โ€ฆ]

Artists understand that AI is bad for art. Why donโ€™t programmers understand that we are artists?

"Actually you never enjoyed using the internet back then. You fool. You absolute buffoon" would be a funny take relative to how prevalent it is (in extremely-online spaces like here) if it weren't also so pathetic. Some folks feel a burning need to smother joy wherever it is found

[letters from the dating front] Cut meh lady loose this morning with a frank text about how I'm looking for a partner I have more in common with. I don't enjoy doing that by text much but it would have soured the mood of what was otherwise a fine (if not very romantic) evening more than I [โ€ฆ]

@sundogplanets ah, the wonders/horrors of the free market

First time on the Avelia (next-gen Acela) today, you can almost mistake it for civilized rail on the stretch just outside of Boston. Doesn't last long at all, though, once you hit Connecticut you're basically at Northeast Regional speeds anyway ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@glyph I have definitely muted people mid-conversation for being Too Much, but it's usually a temporary mute. A block just seems like sour grapes over showing up in the replies and then hearing something they didn't want to hear when you took them seriously.
