  • What's the weirdest defense you've seen used to justify belief in God?

  • On the hottest day of the year a few years ago, the Mormons were out door knocking in their little suits. They were clearly not having a good time so we invited them in for a cold drink just to offer them some respite from the afternoon sun.

    They got me to read a passage about Joseph Smith going into a cave and feeling euphoric and were like "well how do does that make you feel" and I'm like "what? I know people who've had more convincing experiences than that who still aren't religious because they knew they were on drugs"

    They came back again a few times until it was clear we're absolutely not becoming Mormons.

    I sometimes wonder if it occurs to them that we were probably better christians than most actual Christians they've met, even without the blackmail.

  • Also do some research over whether you actually do need cuda if you need cuda. It's synonymous with a lot of AI stuff, but in my experience it all works with rocm anyway.

  • What's something that's taken for granted that occasionally makes you think, wait wtf?

  • And yet on top of that, humans have worked out a way to send that information everywhere in a fraction of a second.

  • You don't need to worry about crashing. You'll be protected by an unmaintained bomb that can inflate a pillow faster than you can travel 18 inches at 70 mph yet somehow never goes off accidentally.

  • Driving just gets more absurd the more you think about it.

    Had it not been invented yet, would anyone get away with suggesting a machine propelled by explosions supplied by a tank of the most flammable liquid possible kept underneath the passenger seats?

  • Why the ultrarich come after trans people ?

    Jump

  • No doubt. But if you look at the whole ecosystem, a lot of them are just maggots that are personally indifferent but are happy to get people killed to secure a pay rise.

    Musk might have fried his brain hotboxing farts with his sycophants. Someone like Thiel however; I can't imagine he really cares but he's happy to fund whatever dorks will start a podcast about why they "left the left" because that shit will - he's hoping - get people to vote for politicians that give him more economic power.

  • They want you fighting a culture war to keep your mind off the class war.

    The mainstream "left", such as the Democrats benefit from this too.

    Draw the national party lines between bigoted and non-bigoted. Now everyone can fight over that and nobody has to address the fact that two thirds of the country want universal healthcare.

  • What are things that you think would be useful for others if they also knew it too?

    Jump

  • The hose at the petrol station reaches the opposite side of most cars if you park with your rear window in line with the pump.

  • What torrenting software is everyone using nowadays?

    Jump

  • The most recent release is headless and only has a web front end.

  • Well, if thems the rules...

    Jump

  • You mean large reproductive cells?

  • Learn to code

    Jump

  • I don't know. When I first heard about the horizon scandal I understood what had happened immediately and have since been of the opinion that making financial software that isn't Byzantine fault tolerant should be a criminal offence.

  • The glass is NOT half full

    Jump

  • What's really gonna bake your noodle is that the jug will be less full of you tilt it to the right slightly.

  • You can use tribler as your client. It has built in onion routing.

  • "three fold" should mean 8x not 3x

    Jump

  • This is actually pretty interesting. I wish I could pin someone else's comment. Thanks.

  • "three fold" should mean 8x not 3x

    Jump

  • That would still be two layers. Although folding all the corners would allow four fold to equal two.

  • "three fold" should mean 8x not 3x

    Jump

  • But that would be two folds, and arguably two layers if the area of the middle section is bigger than the outer sections added together.

  • Which crush of yours are you now glad that things didn't work out with them?

    Jump

  • "how long was she using for?"

    Oh she didn't use them, she just kept calling my heroin stupid and useless.

  • I was given a "Nest Hub" by a family member, I'm very privacy conscious. What can I do with this thing?

    Jump

  • It might* be worth trying this and installing home assistant.

    *I say might because I just got some IoT stuff on sale and installed home assistant before realising there's nothing useful in home automation except zoned heating. Fun to play with though, I guess.

  • YSK "honey", the discount coupon finding browser extensions (owned by PayPal), is a scam stealing commissions from people who actually should get it.

    Jump

  • I'm all for scamming scammers, but I'm quite happy to give a tip to YouTubers I watch by way of e-commerce commissions.
