You make me sad…

Index, its the Waffle House Index! And its very important to FEMA.

I prefer the French Toast or Waffle House Indexes for unofficial silly weather measurement.

No he wouldent, assuming you left his money in an account with interest. Even that shitty .02% you get from normal checking accounts, he would never be able to work off the interest alone, its still millions of dollars a day.

Hurray, its a Sauron \o/

Thats even the funny part, you cant.

The reason they skipped Windows 9 was some ancient piece of code, lost to the ages that has been incorporated into Windows since dinosaurs once roamed the earth.

Atleast with the linux kernel you know who put what where, and can send them a fish in the mail if you think what they made stinks.

Its only a matter of time until people start using AI deep-fakes to pass these ID checks. Bonus points if the company uses AI to check it, because that is already how a ton of models work.

Oh neat, the tech flavored distraction, place your bets on whats next. My bet is he tried that freedom fries shit again.

Noone ever really grows up, some people are just better at hiding it.

A vegan, crossfit, arch user walks into a bar. Which do they tell you about first?

Something, something, Mastodon, something, something…

Hahahahah, you dont know how to use the three sea shells.

And this is why my friends and I play a silly game every time missionaries go stomping about the neighborhood, the goal, get them to talk as long as possible (my record is 45 min.)

This does two things, the first is that they arnt going to bother anyone else (Im very not interested and am trying to not have them waste anyone else’s time). The second is a lot harder, it is an opportunity to try and get in some deprogramming. Direct all your conversation at the younger person, JW and mormons do this most often but we have a few cults in the area and this is important for them too. Be nice, offer them tea, engage in the philisophy they are peddling, play the role of Socrates and ask annoying questions but dont come off as condesending. A lot of cults need to scare their younger members into staying in the fold, prove that having a nice conversation with the friendly atheist down the street wont cause them to burst into flames.

“We have no Intelligence!!!”

This is correct, as a federal entity, FEMA will only show up after being invited by the governor of the state that needs assistance. Thats why search+rescue is usually handled by local authorities and FEMA focuses on clean up, logistics, and rebuilding. This does not exclude them from assisting with S+R, but they will almost never be the first ones on scene.

This is technically somewhere between 48-52.8 hours.

A Mooch is not an exact measurement of time.

I know the big models will never really be able to achieve that in their current form, but am I reading too much crappy sci-fi to be paranoid that we should probably define what those are before it happens. Robot rights and such, because this is the mistake everyone makes.

Old Radio Shack, not that thing from 2015 that was functionally a brick and mortar cellphone stand.
