I quit streaming services around 4 months ago, determined the exact maximum streaming quality every device I own can handle, used a $60 used office PC from craigslist, admittedly I haven’t fully figured out how to get subtitles to work without transcoding, but I just need to sit down and figure it out at some point. I direct stream all of my content from a 10+ yr old PC and it uses less than 5% cpu while watching a 4k movie. I could stream to easily 5-10 PC’s and still likely be able to do software maintenance on the PC at the same time. That and with how jellyfin looks like a streaming service, with no transcoding it’s better than any streaming service. Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video for direct streaming, direct streaming a previously encoded asset will always deliver a higher quality viewing experience.

Me forgetting AI can be used for such things: “dang that was a well written email, and how clever to turn it into a bullet point so quickly, better up my game…”

The problem with any currency in our current state is 2 fold:

1. The people that already have too many assets can simply buy a bunch of the currency and fuck with it. Roller coaster that shit.

2. A small group of dedicated individuals with a large sum of money together could perform a similar attack.

3. This is an extra specifically for crypto that I happened to notice while angrily trading btc, doge, and ethereum, they are heavily traded by algo’s, you can crash them by repeatedly buying on a dip, then selling for a minor gain. The algo’s see it as pattern trading and alter their trades to try and recoup losses, the price goes down. Most stocks are not currently as easily manipulated in this manner. Most stocks if you get a gain of a few cents, algo’s will see it as a stock paying out, and will pile into it meaning after you sell for a profit the price keeps going up… Which stinks, but it’s doing that because you made a profit, and likely the movement would be different if you hadn’t made profit, if you took a loss, the algo’s might see it as people are giving up and try to pile in shorts so the price further sinks… My point over all is; having a finite resource of any kind as currency is dangerous because a small group of people already have a majority of the current limited resources and there’s nothing stopping them from simply buying up the new limited resources when it’s available. As Argentina is finding out… Also young currencies have inherent liabilities to them like loop holes people can use to get gains or losses when gains or losses are not due.

Yeshua Hamashiach, the person modern Christianity knows as Jesus, rumor according to records that have been found, show not only did Yeshua actually exist, they were likely light skinned. That doesn’t mean they were white, and since we have no living person to question, and assuming the romans were being correct in their documents(I think romans, I’m being lazy and not looking it up, also it might be buried in a tome somewhere, or a history journal where they classified someone known as Yeshua Hamashiach as roman inflection or some such meaning lighter skinned), Yeshua might have been somewhere between Ricky Ricardo and the Weekend. Also I’ve never found a lick of evidence for turning water into wine, so not saying the miracles are true or not(miracles can happen, tho I do wonder how many miracles would actually be miracles if we just understood the actual process taking place), but Yeshua Hamashiach, aka Jesus seems to have actually existed. Probably a granola eating hippy type that preached about equality, and freedom for all, and was the first to do so and melted everyone’s damn mind…

Los Angeles Police raided a wedding today in hopes of capturing several God Fathers of a famous mafia family. You don’t hear about that, like at all in the United States anymore. Because innocent people were getting hurt, and it was deemed too costly on multiple fronts including public opinion of simply traumatizing newly weds to capture someone you can nab when they leave the wedding, same with funerals. But the Israeli’s do not see the Palestinians as humans, so there is no such hesitation on their part, and the world has yet to do jack fucking shit to reel in their rabid leaders, so apparently the world doesn’t see the Palestinians as people unlike the relatives of mafia bosses.

New tech is always more expensive. So this is a dumb headline. Keep advancing it, selling it, and using it, and it will get better and cheaper over time. Removing carbon and the slew of chemicals that are too heavy to float off the earth is a requirement because they don’t just go away…

While this is hilarious, likely because it’s true. Dudes going after SSRI’s. SSRI’s saved my life. AND after using them for years I simply slowly reduced my dosage over about a month and I was off them and now only use them as an emergency pill if something really stressful or bad happens it keeps me from getting too emotionally raw and ragged. I have a supply to likely last me years so this doesn’t impact me. It worries me for the people the SSRI’s could help, but he wants to keep the drugs a way from.

Just try using AI for a complicated mechanical repair. For instance draining the radiator fluid in your specific model of car, chances are googles AI model will throw in steps that are either wrong, or unnecessary. If you turn off your brain while using AI, you’re likely to make mistakes that will go unnoticed until the thing you did is business necessary. AI should be a tool like a straight edge, it has it’s purpose and it’s up to you the operator to make sure you got the edges squared(so to speak).

His net worth is NOT how much money he is net positive. All his net worth means, is he has hundreds of billions of assets, it says nothing for the debt load he is holding onto, nor how much of his assets are already leveraged. With how throughly he has obliterated xitters ad income when it was being sold because investors were unhappy with ad income already being too low, it looks like ol Elon might have found a sure fire way to turn a billion into a million, and somehow people keep loaning him money… Have they checked who else has their financial interests vested in assets he “owns” or when you have that much stuff do they just assume no one else is using it for collateral… Just be interesting if suddenly his entire fortune went up with a puff of smoke because the debt load was too high and one of his investments went further sour causing a cascade similar to a short squeeze, just encapsulated entirely on elon musk and his assets being liquidated…

But for whom will the AI be turned against? Is this their solution to armed civilians taking back the country from both parties using gorilla warfare? By using AI do they hope to remove the advantage civilians would have in “hit and run” assaults on military targets? Why keep increasing the edge of military capabilities unless you are preparing for a really massive enemy?

Dead serious, focus on one issue at a time, go through every possible cause, and make life changes until something you do fixes the issue. I had a severely deviated septum from having my face beat in as a child. As an adult in my 30’s I couldn’t sleep enough, 12-16hrs and I finally felt rested, but I needed that damn near every day. I got surgery to fix my deviated septum in my late 30’s and it changed my life, I still have sinus issues, the damage was so severe I need additional surgeries to get it near where a septum should be, I probably still snore -only my dogs know, but I get quality sleep when I go to bed, 6-9hrs depending on how hard I pushed myself the day before and I’m bright eyed and bushy tailed. Additionally the migraines I was having was from needing glasses from cataracts. Those 2 life changes were the difference between me actually doing things with my life, and just sleeping/wasting away literally my whole life. Don’t just let your problems sit around on your shoulder because everyone else does it, life can be easier. Tho it might require good health insurance, or the ability to cover your annual deductible. That being said, there are few things I would ever say to go into debt for, 1- health, 2- long term food storage, 3- anything that pays for itself long before it breaks

Who is the ruling class so afraid of they decided AI was going to be used for military purposes? Not the people happily doing as they are told. They don’t fear the compliant. They fear the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and cunning of those that have never been content with just being told what to do.

Suing for wrongful termination shouldn’t be a cost to you, the lawyer is paid out of the wrongful termination settlement. This is important because a lot of people may not know that and might just allow their job to be illegally taken. If the lawyer says they want a retainer, find another lawyer, you shouldnt need to pay anyone to fight to keep your job if you are being wrongfully targeted.

E=mc2 could be a shower thought if you haven’t learned it before… Yes in the course of all of human history someone might have thought of it previously, and whoa to history if maybe they weren’t in a shower, but the white noise, and warmth of a shower can allow your brain to chew on things you may never encounter in the world, and indeed be born of a showering state of being, indeed I would be surprised if most shower thoughts hadn’t already been thoroughly documented by some scientist looking to be the next George Washington Carver. Shower thoughts do not have to be original, but they should at least shed light on things in a way you, and maybe most people, wouldn’t consider. Personally, I hadn’t considered why my brain does that since I at one point was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder(gad), and frankly every moment was terrifying, and my brain and myself were just stuck in a cycle of nightmare scenarios, and now that I’m past that, it makes sense why sometimes I remember cringe scenarios and it isn’t gad starting to take hold again.

What evidence suggests, is he will pour gas on an already hot fire, then with all the warmth everyone will assume everything is good when in reality, the village is burning down and tomorrow is gonna be cold…

Too many failure points. Cheaper, more efficient, and more strategic to have houses with SOME kind of solar power generation built in that feeds the appliances… Bonus points if it uses resources that are abundant around the area…

If someone put journalists email in every single email distro, and it stayed there past an upgrade so no one knew who did it, and every single internal memo was simply sent to a news reporter… That would be so damn funny. You know they got email distro’s with thousands of emails… Wouldn’t have been hard todo 2-3 yrs ago…

It runs, just nothing happens and no error pops ANYWHERE!!!

Me knee deep in viscous blood and corpses “the revolution wasn’t real?”
