Entertainment stand/cabinet thing under the TV.

You could be artsy about it and attach the cables to the wall in straight runs with 90s, but the execution of that is harder.

Beat me to it.

Honestly, better than the pod imo. Certainly more fun.

There is nothing wrong about an IQ difference.

Where there are problems is when the higher is annoyed by the other needing explanation or the lower having a complex about needing the explanation.

If you love it when you don’t get it and they can explain it in terms you understand and they love it when they can fulfill your curiosity, perfect.

If you hate how they make you feel stupid or they are annoyed that you just don’t get it no matter how they try to explain it, that is a problem and either party can be at fault in both cases. There is the old saying that if you can’t explain it properly, you don’t understand it fully, I feel that applies.

Talk with them, be honest and raw in your thoughts. Express your concerns about how you, as you are, may be less than they deserve. If they love you, they will try so damn hard to express themself so that you understand.

You shouldn’t be asking the internet, ask them. Your insecurity or anxiety is not for us to cure, your partner is the only one that can beat that into your thick little skull. I joke, but really, there is no comfort or validation strangers on the internet can provide that beats your partner saying how much they love and appreciate you for you regardless of your flaws or shortcomings.

I have reasonable expectations based on the hubris of people ignorant of both AI and what they use it on.

Anybody that cocky and stupid would never present a simple test of concept as evidence.

They 100% asked AI to make an E commerce or company page.

Mine is definitely a junk drawer of random nonsense that is tens of gigs in size.

I wanted to recover files from an old hard drive for a Linux install I had for about a decade, it was not fun to look through for the handful of files I wanted.

That’s a given, but now he has an entire website in his download dir. So all the scripts, images, child pages, directories, etc. are all over the folder’s contents.

If he tried to publish, he would have to find every single dependancy and upload them, which would then require somebody competent to figure out what he missed.

What I am saying is web devs are safe from AI taking their job, for now.

The cherry on top is that he just made the website in his downloads folder and not a new folder for the project.

Hindu is complex and has some variability depending on the flavor. Some are left up to the individual to determine based on their perceptions.

The supreme being is genderless, the other aspects are more masculine or more feminine and some are androgenous or both. Feminine energy is the most powerful at creation and masculine is the most powerful at destruction. The gods are just a reflection of an aspect of the supreme genderless Brahman, where their characteristics favor a given gender and that is expressed in their visage. They also use names that convey a symbolism.

So no gender is the most powerful in Hindu, but different forms of gender expression have more power in an aspect of power.

I am talking about a more advanced AI, not even true AI. LLMs are Temu AI, the name brand stuff is going to wreck the workforce.

Companies are only a few years away from being able to fire the majority of their office workers and replace them with AI.

If you think I am wrong, you fail to understand office work or the rapid pace at which AI is advancing.

Our technological advancement is on the precipice of outpacing our ability to adapt to it; that ends very badly for most people.

DEVIANTart. It is in the name. You put deviants in a content eco chamber, you ain’t gonna get diversity in content.

Calling Egyptians “African” is very Euro-centric thinking that makes the African continent a monolith of culture, when it is hundreds or thousands of cultures.

You might as well say the Mayan people were Mexicans.

The government likes money, that’s why every dollar you spend gets taxed 3 times. Secondarily a barrier to entry limits participation and creates greater opportunity to fine and make even more money than the license or permit.

Fuck around and find out. I bet they would appreciate the place not burning down because the bathroom fan was primed for failure due to lack of maintenance.

The right way to go about it would be to call them and tell them about the smell concern and suspicion that the fan may be at fault. Then they can spend the quid on a tradie coming out for a half hour.

You would have to get at the bathroom fan and see if it is dirty and smell it up close.

I don’t know how they make them there, but the American ones can be a bit of a bother because they are often made with sharp stamped steel with tabs and slots to hold the fan in.

Could the smelly smell that smells smelly be a bathroom exhaust fan that needs to be cleaned or possibly replaced?

During that whole event, I was up watching every stream that was available until they cut and went home. I was following all of their twitters and monitoring twitter in general.

I can tell you that what I said is accurate with certainty. There were streamers that would end when the “night shift” took over protesting because it was “too dangerous to stream”, when a week prior they were welcome. The ones that lasted the longest were filming their face or the ground and eventually they gave up because they were getting confronted or worse.

Their presence was said to “endanger” protesters because the police were watching along with everybody else. The police would roll up out of nowhere and start grabbing up people around the streamers, because they used the streams to pinpoint locations.

If you were paying attention during the George Floyd protests; streamers were harassed, assaulted, doxed, stalked, and shut out from protests because they were creating evidence that was used to prosecute protesters doing crime.

So you are now less likely to find a live protest stream where anything happens because they will upload clips or edited videos so they can show the narrative devoid of identifiable protesters doing crime.

Insomniac or someone with bad sleep habits. Lack of sleep is damaging to overall health and can cause issues with your brain function as a normal sleep cycle is important to flush toxic components from the brain according to studies. While it is possible to function on less sleep than ideal, it is overall detrimental. Modern sleep habits are not normal for human biology, humans are phasic sleepers with two separate periods of sleep as a matter of evolutionary biology for defense and fire keeping.

We are in a transitory period where we are still adjusting biologically to societal/cultural needs that dictate a dedicated 8 hour sleep schedule but haven’t evolved to fully naturalize that behavior.
