This was a reference to an older Jay Foreman video on this topic, wasn’t found as funny as I’d hoped.

In all seriousness I look up candidates and try to find several sources discussing them to attempt to avoid biases from one source. I like to see how they’ve voted as a representative in the past (if they were one). For voting on propositions I will look up what it does, the supporting and critical arguments, and then who supports and who doesn’t support it. That’s usually how I go about it.

I get so drunk I don’t know who I’m voting for!

As a big fan of Teardown; seeing what happened after Saber bought Tuxedo Labs, I’m not holding my breath for this one.

And A Link to the Past actually

The tap water here is pretty nasty, we do have a water filtering pitcher though and it does a bang up job so still no need for bottled water.

With Internet searching disabled, the start menu is decent enough as a quick launcher and so I find myself hitting the Windows key quite often for that purpose.

On Linux there are better launchers that I’m too lazy to set up so still just hit Super and use the Application Launcher to find and run programs.

Pizza Hut has a program called “BOOK IT!” which many classrooms across the country enrolled in. Teachers (or Parents over the summer or in cases of homeschool) can set a reading goal for the student and, when they reach it, can award them a coupon for a free personal pan pizza

I tried for about a week: reading documentation, viewing and modifying example programs, using a Rust IDE with warnings for all my silly mistakes, the works. I couldn’t manage to wrap my head around it. It’s so different from what I’m used to. If I could dedicate like a month to learn it I would, but I don’t have the time :/

That is confusing! Thanks for the clarification and link. I guess I’ve seen kJ more than I thought, just not by a name that makes any sense lol. Never knew I’d learn so much by posting this lol

I was entirely unaware how common and mundane this is basically everywhere outside the United States. This is the first food item I’ve seen ever list kJ here, which is why I found it interesting, but I guess it’s quite standard elsewhere!

It doesn’t seem to be the case in the U.S. Basically everything I can find that has a nutritional information label exclusively lists “Calories” and I have never seen kJ here

That makes so much more sense lmao. I’m definitely guilty of being bad at spotting satire in text.

You appear to be speaking nonsense words, they all have meaning and some groupings in your comment do too. In its entirety though this comment makes no sense. An echo chamber is a place that many individuals may go to reinforce their views, with other members backing them up and attempting to remove any naysayers or disagreement.

A comment cannot, by definition, be an echo chamber.

Edit: What I find most odd is that your other comments seem to be very sensical. I generally agree with what you have to say, so this is a very strange thing to see you commenting.

Almost everything was web based. Being in computer science i did have to write code and compile executables that my TAs running Windows could run; so it wasn’t perfectly smooth. There was also Respondus Lockdown, but I could borrow a laptop from the library to use it.

For what it’s worth my i9-13900 was experiencing serious instability issues. Disabling turbo helped a lot but Intel offered to replace it under warranty and I’m going through that now. Customer support on the issue seems to be pretty good from my experience.

Such a fucking vile thing to read while starting my morning

Oh the joys of my apartment AC breaking

So you have a product that you’ve made into a system for getting answers. And then you couldn’t be bothered to try and sanitize training data enough to get your answer system’s new headline feature from spreading blatantly incorrect information? If it doesn’t work, maybe don’t ship it.
