Nothing makes them vote with the party outside of money and the next election. We have far to many politicians who are not willing to not be politicians.

Well the claim is since its being done on your host all good but honestly I don't want it in it. Not just bloat but because it becomes something that is always going to have to keep an eye for if its talking afield. Its getting like windows. Heck I allowed firefox telemetry before but turning it off now.

this does not make me happier. I can turn it off but if im going to run a local llm I rather do that as its own piece of software. Its funny because I have mentioned I would like to see a linux operating system using a local llm where its acting a bit like the change from text based to gui based operating systems. I don't want every piece of software operating a local llm to do its job or a part of its job on my computer. Its great I can turn it off but I don't want to be downloading an llm model with every piece of software and just turn it off for my browser and my office suite and anything else im running. Its actually worse with the browser that already has taken over so much of the application space as a kind of universal tool.

If your talking full degrees im not sure I would have gotten one if I had been ten years younger even after high school. The cost/return is iffy. Certs and associates still seem like they can be worth it and if you can get a free ride well then yeah. I don't think general age matters as much as financial situation.

I could not disagree more. a browser is a local piece of software to me that I use to connect to a variety of servers. It having an ai server its communicating with all the time and with access outside the add on system is not something I want. I have looked at and was not put off by other firefox "controversies" but this one is making it where it is not simply a browser anymore. which is what I want.

That is such a hard question. Youtube is my throwaway repacement type of watch. The thing in the background while I do other things. I mean there are creators who I always like their fare and catching colbert and the occasional snl and last week tonight is nice. Im sure there have been some that at the time I was like. omg. this is hilarious, and I go call my wife over. Thing is its sorta flash in the pants and then I forget.

I dunno. Maybe people are more honest and real. I have a story from my youth. A friend and I put in singles ads in the local paper. Whelp I tend to be a pretty honest and straight forward person so my ad said things like I don't really excersise but I like doing active things like walking. With his he was putting his best foot forward which to be honest, to me, was pretty much B Sing. So I got a response and he did not and his response was like. How did you get a response. Your add is like hey im fat and lazy. Now that is certainly not what my ad said but to his mind it was. To admit any basic human frailty was to be the worst possible interpretation anyone can make of it. Basically maga level. Of course I think @hades@feddit.uk has a point that people who are catches, good looks and/or great personality and such, likely have an easier time finding relationships

Is this the type of thing where you say gigidy while doing it?

There was a toy batman costume that had the warning. Cape does not enable user to fly. Granted its for kids but common. Its not a superman cape!

I mean I can't remember specific occasions but yeah im sure dicks and assholes have helped me. They can still be dickish or such when helping but sometimes its their job or they begrudgingly do it and like your experience sometimes in certain situations they can do things without being dicks for awhile. It does not make them in general nicer persons but does show they have the capacity if they felt like being nicer in general.

 

So. I like walking with a staff but I also like having multiple things in one. That got me thinking I would kinda like a light weight umbrella on my staff. Combined with the little end caps that allow it to stand on its own it seems like it could be pretty useful. Even better if it had a metal capped spike at the bottom.

 

I hope folks read more than just the title. So im watching a show with a gun exchange and the person has to reload and you can see they are nervous to get the new magazine in so they can fire again and it made me think. Do any guns have two magazine where you can either manually switch to the other magazine or maybe automatically do it when the first one is empty. With the idea that if you need to fire while in the middle of changing out the empty magazine you could. I feel like this seem obvious enough that someone must have tried it. I mean considering the crazy gun things I have seen. Since im not aware of anything I figure if it has been done it had an issue or was just not useful enough to make worth it. So for the folks that are really into guns, especially wierd protoype ones. Has there every been anything like this?

 

One is bonkers but all are slippery slope in how the answers will be used to eliminate canidates (meant to post this last month but sorta forgot):

  1. How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience.

  2. In this role, how would you use your skills and experience to improve government efficiency and effectiveness? Provide specific examples where you improved processes, reduced costs, or improved outcomes.

  3. How would you help advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.

  4. How has a strong work ethic contributed to your professional, academic or personal achievements? Provide one or two specific examples, and explain how those qualities would enable you to serve effectively in this position.
