I'm on crutches. Was planning to take a baked brie but don't feel like standing in the kitchen to make it. Someone will already do chicken nuggets. Have any ideas for a hot appetizer or something people will like i can pick up on the way?

Just did an A.I. workshop today on how to improve my resume, cover-letter, and job search.

In general I don't use AI for much of anything, so while most of the info was pretty basic and kinda, well, useless, I did actually learn a few new things today.

You?


(No, I'm not a bot. If I was I wouldn't need to look for a job, I'd just take yours. ;P )

I'll start:

  • uni campus news
  • archlinux news
  • still drinking blog
  • free game finders on steam

It's funny, I went to college and got my degree in mechanical engineering. I'm glad I went and it's definitely made my career easier. However, as a power plant operator, in my state a degree isn't needed, just licensing.

I like scrambled eggs to omelette. Less fried surface I guess.

Edit: shoulda said "same ingredients only" but I suppose this was clear enough.

What are you most Excited in 2026?
There's so much going on next year, What are you waiting to happen? Me personally I'm excited for some of the games we finally get to experience such as Hytale & GTA 6.

Next year I’m turning 50 & also become eligible for retirement. Retirement age in my country for the general population (men) is 65, but the judiciary has separate rules. I’m seriously considering retirement but I have older colleagues who are still working because they say with the life expectancy rising who knows how much that great pension in the present will be worth in the future, so why not keep it going for an additional source of income?

For context, I (23M) live in the United States. In Ohio. A bit concerned about privacy because of the whole Nazi problem and the fact that I live in an abusive household.

I've been working on myself a lot recently and realized that I can't do this alone anymore (or rely on Internet strangers to talk about my issues). I feel like I finally have the strength to ask for help in the real world. I've just never done this before. What's it like? Is it warm and fuzzy, or cold and analytical? (Does it feel like someone is providing care and comfort, or is it more like an emotionally detached scientist meticulously studying you and scribbling down notes while mumbling "Hmm, I see, I see" while you yap at them?) Do you start to see results right away, or are things slow at first? How much stuff is recorded in a database that other systems can look up?

There really should be list somewhere, so all these greedy idiotic companies pushing slop on us can flounder in their losses when the bubble pops.

ESPECIALLY any media-related company that is using AI now to push slop, they can NEVER be trusted again no matter what (ie, spotify)

Id like a list so I can donate/support any anti-AI projects/companies.

First off, I have no interest in being a mathematician. Math was always and continues to be quite difficult for me.

So, as an outsider to advanced math, it blows my mind that there are people who's entire job title is mathematician. How does that work? What does a mathematician do?

I mean like, actually understand beyond just exchanging a few words a day. Like knowing hobbies, favorite foods, political opinions, favorite tv/movie/youtube channels/music/genre of entertainment, etc... overall likes and dislikes... you know what I mean...

As to why I'm asking: I feel like my family is just a bunch of strangers sometimes...

I feel like nobody really understands me.

Came across them for the first time while playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly, and found them interesting.

Most of these seem to be from the late Soviet Union era. Could be wrong, though. Uploaded the .zip to catbox: link

From the very very little digging I did, track_15.ogg is Spokoynaya noch by the band Кино (Kino). Some of the other tracks here might also be from Кино. Anyone able to ID the rest?

Isn't it kinda crazy that we just administer a drip of fentanyl into a mother giving birth?

Do people even know that's what a epidural is?

They're a fey witch who changes how they look to manipulate and prank and befuddle and seduce others. Their magic is dark, illusory, spooky, and nature based.

Some thoughts:

I Want To Be Evil - Eartha Kitt

Whatever Lola Wants (Lola Gets) - Sarah Vaughan

Trust In Me (Kaa's song from The Jungle Book)

Curveballs welcome, no wrong answers

I get recommend loads of thise videos, some channels have a million users, others a couple of hundred, but they all feature a 3D Sarah Payne AI bot talking, sometime with another bot intervention, "explaining" on a backdrop of AI selected images.

Is this just something to skip, report or is it supposed normal behavior nowadays?

Other than like O'Neill cylinders in cislunar space, or sod roofed community long houses.

Never mind that ending commodity housing destroys western civilization.

I've tried on r**** in the past and have had terrible luck. I'm launching a new startup and have a basic landing page but would like to make it more professional, inspiring, etc. I do not want to feed it into AI and I do want to hire someone who will feed it into AI.

I've searched communities for a hiring/designer wanted type place and have come up empty handed. Where do you guys go to find talented designers?

All the best, Internet friend

I sort by New (rather than Hot for instance), myself.

Just randomly curious what other people are sorting at default, and if there's a common answer.


Kinda wish I could automagically sort comments by New as well. /shrug
