typically you avoid people long in the tooth of thier career if you need vice-grip control over your subordinates.

these freshies, probates, pledges, strykers and cannon fodder, will be stood up to scapegoat and rotated out for inner circle members who will solve the newbie generated failure, to great accolades


quick back of the envelope:

this would require 3 joints of ~ 300 mg cannabis at ~ 30% THC content.

the legendary MTF strain regularily trumpets a 25-30% THC content.

now if bioavailability is 30% that means you need 9 or 10 joints to get a 1 micro molar total dosage. that dose is distributed across body mass.

at this point, i cant say i could conceive of anyone smoking basically an 1/8 ounce of MTA in one day, let alone at one sitting, and doing that for 6 days in a row sounds frightening, not recreational.

dare i say it?

curate a training set consisting of the entirety of documented human conflict, and its peripherals. all the documents, reports, analyses, tactical briefs, historical accounts, et al. that are available.

basically a WOPR.


everybody wants to be the first one in, but distributing this sort of content with out a cool-down time, can have extreme consequences.

you could end up providing intelligence that increases lethality of follow up attacks.


A Dutch journalist was rightly kicked out of Ukraine early in the war for his absolutely stupendously stupid scoop with pictures of russian rockets landing in a city. The moron was all indignant about it too.

Similar indeed.

It's an interesting situation though, since many people believe that now with Twitter and other social medias, they have real time reports from each war, while in reality we mostly see what we're allowed to see - and it's very different depending from which side you're watching.


Not giving the enemy targeting information is generally good practice. Who needs forward artillery observers when you have journalists?

the next fad fringe sport.

seriously, if you can do butter, you should also be able to do ice cream, with some ingenuity.


Here you go, my friend - ice cream running. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO68DWmDcON/?

TIL - next time I go to the dolomites, I might seriously try this; ice cream after 6-8 hours of hiking and via ferrata sounds wonderful.

There's a guy (insta: trailswithzach) that did successfully make ice cream like this

Naw, you make Ice Cream on car wheels. Everyone knows that

roofs have different materials and tech so that sets the expected lifespan.

boots off inspection avoids having someone walk around on the roof which can actually cause leaks near the end of life.

not only the material, but the workmanship of the install can be evaluated as well.


what ghostty seems to be getting at is contributions to the project that use Ai tools.

disclose use of the AI tool.

submit quality work, of a craftsman wielding a tool with skill.

just because some of the work is deferred, does not mean expectations are as well.


word of warning, being found in a sensative region, with long strings of numbers written or noted may be troublesome .

yeah we use encryption often, but how does someone avoid interpretation as espionage, rather than good digital practice.


not just a shortcut to bing, but with search terms.

"When you click “Perform speed test,” it opens your default browser and sends you to Bing.com with the query ‘internet speed test.’"

if you can SEO your evilspeedtest code, into that index position, your all set.


google is seeing an uptick in viewing with a smartTV, so they think that means family time in the livingroom, thus 70s style TV is the model of the day.

have they considered home office, phones are just too small, and studios where you watch the screen and perform the "how too" from across the room are getting to be a thing [mancaves, shesheds].

i would definately have a curated, edited feed of YTz to a group viewing location, rather than a raw stream.


Since 1999 we've had the DVR and commercials have been effectively skippable if you want to avoid them. This is worse than that. Not having the freedom and control to seek through the video stream ("unskippable") was innovated by the streaming takeover.

back in the place between 70s-80s we used to identify commercials with an audio compression detector, blank frame detector, generally a device that detects artifacts of the ad process. then we could record on a VCR without ads as we went about our day.

it was a cat and mouse game eventually with programs being salted to spoof ad detection, regulations requireing a broadcaster to have some demarcation between ad and program, and on...

streaming has one fatal flaw, that decides final ownership, and that is eventually, the content is in the clear, in a space accessible to a technichal user, that can be replicated, and fitted with the requirements for a persistent file, and thus "pwnd".

at this point the ad can be snipped out, and is gone.

its a bad model, ads should be part of the content, depictions of product usage, and consumption, as part of the content seemed like an unobtrusive, actually pleasant association, every time ive seen it done, vs some screaming loud volume, shocking switch of subject and mood associated with a product that you dont need, and will subconsciously avoid as a result of the operant conditioning.
