And this is why you need a 3-2-1 backup strategy.

If Fred Meyer and QFC (Kroger’s regional brands) are going to stay open, what does this strike mean? Just picketers outside the stores?

Ugh I HATE that phrase. I’m American and any time someone says that to me I just want to reply “no, I just think you are ignorant” but I know that would just get me punched.

Very close! Mine was the Apple II plus. I remember using that before I could read. I memorized how to spell catalog which did a directory listing. I eventually learned some Apple basic on it as well.

Also Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me

I got one that has a normal handle, but you lift for a half flush and push down for a full one.

I remember being thrilled with a 20 meg scsi hard drive I got as a kid.

I mean that is already a problem, if you ask a question you have to be ready for the answer to be a mismatch of version conflicts.

But that is ok. ChatGPT is a tool that can either help you or hurt you. I like to think of it like a power hammer. If you are doing a roofing job, it can help you get things done faster compared to a manual hammer, but you still need to know how to build a roof to get started.

ChatGPT is great at helping you organize your thoughts or finding an answer to some error message buried in some log file, but you still need to know what questions to ask and you need to be ready for it to give you a stupid answer and how to get around that.

I like Franks in wing sauce but prefer Cholula for pretty much anything else.

Cholula with mayo and ketchup makes a great fry sauce.

There are so many awesome fancy mustards out there, but if I want the ballpark standard yellow mustard, I usually just go for French’s. It’s the same principle with ketchup. When I want ketchup I just want Heinz. If I go to a restaurant and they are all proud of their “house made” ketchup, it is probably going to be too sweet or tomatoy or whatever. Just give me what I grew up with and don’t mess with it.

That said my wife has been making mustard at home recently and it is amazing. It’s not yellow mustard but a tangy grainy mustard that is great.

The projection is what annoys me the most. At least have it line up with latitude/longitude.

I put boiled eggs, frozen vegetables, and chili crisp along with any leftovers I have. Today I had some extra bacon but things like pork chops or chicken is good too.

Still experimenting with different brands of chili crisp. I like the ones with a bit of crunch but they are not spicy enough. I put a couple big spoonfuls on top and would like it hotter with less oil.

Does this mean you could have two Easters 28 days apart depending on which time zone you are in?

Dark City is my favorite flop movie.

It felt to me that the studios told the directors that they were going to reboot the franchise if they didn’t make a new one, so the writers decided to just make that the plot.

No sir, I don’t like it.

And hens.

This is it. AI is a tool just like anything else. Before AI people would complain that a photo was ‘shopped and before that it was that the models in magazines were airbrushed.

All of these are tools that are at an artist’s fingertips and a good artist can do something great with if they put the time into it.

Yes, lazy people can create crap with it if they want but you really can’t be blaming the tool for what stupid humans do with it.

The option to run one cable to the monitor, or reversely charge your laptop with one docking cable.

Maybe you could use this to daisy chain monitors and power them all.

I understand how the public key encryption works when you are messaging person to person. Does anyone know how it works with group chats?
