Atoms lettuce break the iceberg.

This has happened to me three times:

1. 2 AM: We had left our car door open and the officer was concerned that someone had broken into the vehicle and left it open in a hurry when they saw his police car coming down the street. Nope, we just got home real late from a long flight (an hour prior) and were tired AF when unloading.
2. My neighbor’s truck was stolen; twice (the replacement was stolen a week after he got it). The officer wanted to know how sketchy my neighbor was and if it was likely insurance fraud. Nope: That guy washed and polished his truck every week. He loved that thing.
3. The officer was investigating Medicaid fraud and wanted to interview our autistic daughter to see if she had taken part in it (it involved a taxi service that she used regularly to go to appointments). When he found out she was (mostly high functioning) autistic he was basically done because she obviously wasn’t mentally sophisticated enough to have intentionally participated in any such scheme. He went from "obviously* suspicious and skeptical to all smiles and applauded us for adopting and taking care of an autistic adult (my wife met her though the Big Brothers Big Sisters org).

From a legal standpoint, my home is the most boring place possible. If we’re doing something illegal, it’s news to us! LOL.

I have had my phone tapped by the FBI too! They must’ve been bored out of their minds, being forced to listen to my exceptionally boring conference calls at work for weeks on end 🤣

How do I know it was tapped?

1. The phone company fucked up the tap. My totally stable phone line suddenly went to shit after a big news event at my previous employer. I could hear static regularly, cross-talk with police radio, and even an, “oops I hope he didn’t hear that!” Moment (LOL).
2. They sent me a nice letter a year or so later saying they did it as part of an investigation with the most terse language possible.

Yep! There’s really only ONE operating system that doesn’t do rsync over SSH. Can you guess which one? 😁

BTW: FolderSync does it on Android for free… https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite (only OK-ish GUI but it works).

I just use rsync over ssh via a cron job 🤷

It’s been working fine for over 20 years on all my various PCs.

I want to see an Isekai where a female protagonist gets reincarnated as a male.

You’d think that after all these years of Isekai shows/movies that there must be something where a female becomes a male… Nope! Doesn’t exist.

Have them drafted into the military or something. I dunno. Any way you slice it, it would be different enough that it should be interesting.

AI adds too many details. When a person draws an anime/cartoon character they will usually put in minimal details or they’ll simply paste the character on to an existing background (that could’ve been drawn by a different artist).

AI doesn’t have human limitations so it’ll often add a ton of unnecessary details to a given scene. This is why the most convincing AI-generated anime pictures are of one or two characters in a very simple setting (e.g. a plain street/sidewalk) or even a white or gradient background.

Humans can tell when art was put together by different artists. Such as when the background is a completely different style. AI doesn’t differentiate like that and will make the entire image using the exact style given by the prompt. So it’ll all look like it was “drawn” using the same exact style… Even though anime/cartoons IRL aren’t that uniform.

I guess it’s just too late for all those children that viewed porn. The piles of their dead bodies must be enormous!

Donut transform the soccer ball!

The truth is, anything but saccharin.

They will do this but then what option will they have left when they make it even more bloated and slow—since they now have this “extra room”, as it were?

One point three two emm bee 😁

What would happen if bedbugs went extinct? Other than mass celebrations, I mean.

Nah. It’ll be to make them transgendered.

They’re not just bismuth! They’re bismuth and selenium with some oxygen mixed in (to connect those elements together, I think).

The reason I point this out is because this means that not only can the chips of the future perform blazingly fast calculations they can also cure your tummy ache and prevent dandruff!

Once this technology becomes mainstream it’ll be bismuth as usual. We’ll all be getting down to bismuth.

A whole new era of puns is upon us! The product of the selenium.

He summons drinks and snacks.

The solution to this is to make breakfast in the afternoon 👍

It takes too long for the stress to work its way down.

Nobody is learning Mandarin. Not even the Chinese! LOL

They’re all relying on automatic translation and even the Chinese are using speech recognition to enter characters on their phones. The written language is rapidly being forgotten.

…which is the destiny of all pictographic and logographic languages so it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing, necessarily 🤷
