Reply to Video: Artificial Intelligence can write as well as humans. See how it works by LanceOhio

Yay! Now we can eliminate most of the jobs formerly held by English Majors! Those fuckers have had it coming, I don't care what their families, IRS, or the economy says!

Seriously, geeks, stop trying to fuck people out of their jobs and turn to REAL work- helping the environment and ratting out lying, cheating politicians.

Reply to Louisiana conservatives consider ban on liberal business agendas by positive_X

Cuz when your business model is responsible for the by state greatest rate of loss of land to sea level rise and subsidence, you double down!! It makes no sense to little people like you and me but to people with lots of money and investments and important shit, fuck little people like you and me!! Wouldn't it be neat if THEY drowned instead?

Reply to comment by BallardRex in The days of the hydrogen car are already over by Sorin61

The hydrogen hype comes from Big Oil/Gas trying to pivot to a similar fuel-delivery model and so maintain their incomes/power. Ammonia might make sense if the part that cracks off the nitrogen progresses to the point of viability. Until then, hydrogen will make some sense for 18 wheelers and larger applications like trains and industry.

Way back in the day, google had a homepage you could set up for yourself. You could fill it with feeds and links and apps. Cell phones wound up looking like what you could do on this thing. They killed it, so I migrated all my links to an online spreadsheet. They're easy to set up and a wayyy easier way to keep and sort all your bookmarks and daily destinations. FWTW

Reply to TIL the band Grateful Dead got its name in 1965 after Jerry Garcia found the term in the Britannica World Language Dictionary along with the definition "the soul of a dead person, or his angel, showing gratitude to someone who, as an act of charity, arranged their burial". by big_macaroons

Jewish tradition has it that someone always sits with the dead, that they are never left alone before burial. This is considered "high mitzvah" (mitzvah is a worthy deed) because that person can never come back to thank those who sat with them. That has always stuck with me, a charity more powerful because there is no possible way to acknowledge or repay it. It moved me to keep my charities towards the homeless anonymous but thinking it through, I see where it could cause a feeling of indebtedness with the recipient. Clearly, the x-ians who came up with this "grateful dead" thing have found a way around the need to repay!
