MMRs are. For the time being anyway.

So I think in Canada you can get an antibody test to see if you need a booster or not. In the US, insurance won’t pay for the test, but the shot itself is covered. So I just got the booster for free. I’m not much younger than you are.

What’s American rail?

Our side of town has zero rail, and it would take about two hours on a bus to get home from downtown, 7 miles away. Oh, and the Amtrak train 7 miles away shows up once a day at 2am. And I could probably hitchhike to where I’m going faster than that shit train would get me there.

I don’t know if this is relevant, but I deal a lot with MS support in my role at work. There is some built in AI that you need to go through in order to open a support case, and it’s about 85% useless, and also has a caveat at the end that says “AI provided information may be incorrect”. However, there are cases where it’s useful, and I don’t have to deal with a human who copies and pastes a novel in their email to tell me they’re working on it.

Ive had cancellations processed after product upgrades and it went through in less than a day, and I didn’t have to read 5 paragraphs of bullshit canned script from a human. So it’s not all bad, I guess.

That’s the extent to which I use AI for work. I can’t imagine another use case where I wouldn’t have to double check everything, and if I have to do that, I may as well just do it myeself.

I find this funny because this

My main concern is that this tech is not 100% accurate. I feel like it shouldn’t be used on its own.

Is generally the least of their concerns.

$ASTS

Knowing the absolute cabbages walking around that place, it’s probably a WiFi pineapple that will accept any password and is just intercepting all of the traffic.

This isn’t Hanlon’s razor here. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they’ve absolutely thought this through. While 47 might be a petulant manchild, the people he’s surrounded himself with are as dangerous as anyone.

Have they tried crayons and construction paper?

COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur

The young lady with the uzi…Is she single?

What a great song. Eddie Vedder did a really good reboot also, played on The Bear.

I have to pay about $50 USD per month just for the luxury of having heating in the northern US., even during the summer when I don’t need it. R The gas company can fucking blow me, I’m getting natural gas out of my house as quickly as I can afford it.

In getting crushed psychologically right now. My wife is battling leukemia and now my puppy has a broken leg.

I seriously don’t know what to do next. I’m literally getting fucking destroyed here.

Counterpoint: How nice will it be without $.99 after every fucking thing that you ever buy ever?

I’m a dinosaur, I run out of DDG browser. Not ideal, but it works for me so i don’t care.

ETA: it’s beehaw, it’s chill.

That HMS article is wild. As someone with moderate hearing loss and raging tinnitus, this would be a dream come true if it ever happens.

3 football pitches*. If it were in yards, then it would be fields.

I feel like as long as the banned speech is extremely specifically defined, I don’t care if they look like martyrs. “The holocaust never happened” is easily defined as holocaust denial, and it’s easy to enforce.

The problems arrive when a law is passed with an ambiguous, poorly defined meaning like “hate speech”. Hate speech can really mean anything someone else doesn’t like.

Jokes on him. The MMR booster I just got yesterday makes me run a lot faster than the only Kennedy everyone really hates.
