This is correct and most people don’t know this. Your Miranda rights protect you against self-incrimination during questioning. They are not rights which must be read to you upon arrest. Some cops (and TV shows) use them this way. However, as ‘spontaneous utterances’ are recognized by the court, you only need to be advised of your rights prior to incriminating questions being asked.

He’s pretty infamous for being a dick. I’m from the area he is from, and he has a pervasive reputation pretty much everywhere around here about it. He has refused to sign autographs without being paid, been rude to countless people in person who have recognized him, and is generally very condescending. He has this misplaced arrogance that is difficult to pin down but can be typical of people with a modicum of fame.

To my knowledge it’s all anecdotal, but the sheet volume of it lenda some credence to it.

Oh man, I love TB. My wife and I love reading. We are constantly ordering books, and you can find pretty much everything there.

I have indeed. I’ve also met a lot of regular church attendees before, and some of them are the most morally bereft people I have ever encountered.

Maybe they don’t attend church. Maybe they aren’t even religious. How does this help anyone?

“Maybe they should join a crochet club and find a wholesome woman.”

That’s how ridiculous you sound.

Absolutely. Anyone willing to treat a stranger this way is unequivocally a shitbag.

She will die alone, whether she is married or not.

I am aware of what I don’t know, and having something which hallucinates produce something I want to use seems silly. I wouldn’t be able to verify it independently because I’m not smart enough. It just seems like asking for trouble. Like I would ask the thing which gave me broken code in the first place to fix it? Smort.

I’ve so far avoided using LLMs unless I need something explicitly explained. I don’t know enough to be able to verify any code it would produce, so I don’t know what the hell these vibe coders are doing.

But I’m also a little long in the tooth to be starting this, so maybe that’s part of my problem.

As someone who’s been trying to learn Python recently, this resonates with me. I am glad I will always fuck it up.

Thanks, I hate it. This picture makes my feet tingle.

Oh come on, this is funny. Don’t downvote humor you old farts. I’m old enough to remember when we got internet. I was 14 and had to beg mom to let us use the free AOL trial.

Once that month was up, we were hooked faster than if we had visited a Chinese opium den in the 1800s.

Edit: wow I sure fucked up that first draft. I was 14, not 24.

I’ll be super shocked when we find out the reluctance to use the contingency funds has everything to do with those funds already being “reallocated” elsewhere.

The best part about this, and the one I don’t see echoed enough, is that Cavill is a nerd. And I mean that in the best way. He ignored the call casting him as Superman because he was in a WoW raid.

He is invested in the Witcher series because it means something to him. He’s played the games, read the novels, and he was constantly pushing back on the writers and producers for straying. “Geralt wouldn’t do that, or Yennefer wouldn’t say that…” Etc. I love that he was passionate enough about it to stick to what he knew was correct.

Bombed the place so hard they killed all the color.

Is this Gandolfini?

I recently switched to Ubuntu Cinnamon. I like it a lot, but I’ve had some headaches making some things work. It’s worth it me, as I will never return to Windows. I relied heavily on chatgpt to get me through tweaking it. Any errors I would receive in the bash terminal, I would paste into chatgpt and it would give me step by step instructions on what to do. I would have thrown the laptop in a pond without that, though. The technical barrier to entry isn’t too high, so long as you exercise a little patience.

This guy’s a fucking veterinarian?? Ha!

It sure isn’t. Instead, it’s the nation’s federal district.

Look, all of this is well beyond the pale of insanity. This is just one more step down the path to the country as we knew it never being able to recover.
