Also, just because something is sentient doesn’t necessarily mean it’s gendered.

Pick any of the more popular ones at random; it really doesn’t matter that much.

The Basque Country still belongs to Spain and Northern Ireland still belongs to the UK, so… no, I guess?

I don’t know enough about that cluster in the Balkans to even speculate on it.

god that’s stupid, sorry

Asking if terrorism works isn’t a stupid question. It’s a very impolite question (from the perspective of people in power), and maybe even heartless, but not stupid.

It’s not autistic to enjoy or prefer peace and quiet. It’s autistic to be unable to function without it. If you were capable of grocery shopping before, I wouldn’t worry too much.

I’m convinced he’s nothing but a puppet at this point because of mental decline. He wasn’t always though

That’s right, he was in bed with the Russians all the way back in the '80s, when he was merely an idiot (as opposed to senile).

There’s gotta be a token non-rapist in there somewhere, right?

Considering how incompetent they are, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if a staffer or two missed their Epstein Island onboarding without their supervisor noticing.

(This does not work for recipes that require exact measurements, like breads)

There’s a reason we have different words for “cooking” and “baking.”

Election fraud, not voter fraud. There’s a difference.

Namely, voter fraud is thing Republicans falsely accuse the Democrats of in order to deflect from the election fraud they’re actually committing.

“Small-town loser lands sugar mama and moves to swanky midtown apartment” is a plot that would presumably appeal to a different audience than the one Hallmark Channel is targeting, though.

That’s what he said: “tax.”

Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever?

Let’s be clear about this: Carter was never “in hot shit” about his farm. Carter put his farm in a blind trust proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.

Yep, literally crazy.

I definitely own Diablo and I definitely used Win2K, but I didn’t go out of my way to buy a weird special version of it. This leads me to believe the normal Windows 95 version would work on NT as well.

I distinctly remember running most, if not all, of my games on Windows 2000 (not ME). I mean, yeah, NT 4 was pretty hopeless for gaming, but 2000 was better.

Me, a Windows 2000 user:

There’s nothing more permanent than a “temporary” fix.

Engineers are literally required to licensed by the state as “Professional Engineers” in order to do their job (or at least they have to be supervised by someone who is), just like doctors and lawyers are. If that doesn’t count as professional, WTF does?!

That will never happen unless we the people force it to happen.

Also, it’s not even just AI actually using more energy, it’s also more capacity being constructed in anticipation of it. The upshot is, even if the demand from AI goes away the higher costs would remain because all that extra infrastructure still needs to be paid for.

Except Linux isn’t the dark side; Windows is. They are being freed from their cell, not entering it.
