Explain how the interplanetary file system will distribute all of human knowledge to the galaxy and without block chain it wouldn’t work.

Does project 2025 get rid of the IRS? If so, how would this be enforced?

Sending US arms to Ukraine is less about Ukraine than it is giving money to the US arms manufacturers. I’m sure those influential military industrial complex fat cats will find ways to keep the cash flowing - even if they have funnel it through someone else.

If the Ukranian numbers are to be believed (~1500 casualties/day) then this is about a 1 week supply of cannon fodder.

Here in a red state, when I venture into the real world, I still see Trump flags everywhere. Much more so than I recall in 2016. They definitely have upped their merchandise game. On the other hand I see many more Harris/Walz signs than I ever saw in support of Clinton. When I talk to people I get much more passion about Harris than I ever heard about Clinton or Biden. It is more akin to Obama’s first term, if not even more intense. This time around Trump is vehemently disliked. During Trump’s first campaign he was a disruptor and there was a lot of curiosity about what that meant. That has been replaced with fear and hatred. My few remaining social media friends who support Trump seem to do so from a religious point of view. Somehow they see him as more godly.

Toxic jobs really take a toll on your health, especially if you feel trapped in them. Looking for a new job is really a full time job on itself, it can be hard to do so while already working a full time job. If you feel your job is toxic you should start looking for something new right away - whether you’ve given notice or not. I’ve ended up in the hospital twice from the toll toxic jobs that I felt trapped in took on me. Another thing you can consider is diversifying your income. Ie, a “side hustle”. If you have more than one income stream you won’t be quite as trapped. You also will have something to help buffer the transition between your real jobs.

Isn’t he also an immigrant?

I often use imagemagick (cli) for cropping, rotating, resizing, etc.

There are some monitoring tools which take a snapshot of the process table every few minutes. If you happen to run one of those, and your process happens to be running when the snapshots is taken you can catch it.

If this is a postgresql server and you have logging turned up with pids being logged, and the pin in question was a database process, you can probably find it in the database logs.

Nice!

Gen AI is like super-autocorrector.

While I don’t tow more than 2 or 3 times per year, I like to daydream about owning a boat. I need to be able to tow one to imagine I could own one some day.

What is the difference between “mass clearance” and “genocide” ?

These seem pretty typical daily numbers. I find it mind boggling that Russia doesn’t seem to care and just keeps throwing more people into it. Mainstream media in the US also doesn’t seem to care.

I bet if you cut it vertically the lights will go out.

Nothing about OpenAI is open-source. The name is a misdirection.

If you use my IP without my permission and profit it from it, then that is IP theft, whether or not you republish a plagiarized version.

Most people’s body will change as they age. I haven’t met many who don’t age or never get injured or both. Selecting a partner primarily based on their current appearance means you are using criteria suitable only for short term relationships.

Try Duluth Trading Company. They have very high quality clothes for large men. They are pricey but totally worth it for fit and durability.

Most people I know support Trump because they perceive him as a “strong man”, which they value in a leader. They see Democrats as “soft”. They his wealth, his treatment of women, his treatment of employees, and his reaction to being shot as signs of strength. Another reason is they see him as being more supportive of their one true religion. He comes across as the chosen one and closer to God than most.

Sometimes after upgrades, even minor ones, I find it useful to run analyze on all of the tables. I usually do analyze verbose; so I can see which tables are getting analyzed. This will assess every table so the query planner can make better decisions about how to resolve queries. If the query planner is making bad decisions I/O and CPU will be high and query performance will be poor.
