While it is a dramatisation and takes creative liberties, I still wholeheartedly recommend Charlie Wilson’s War as a way to explain just how the US managed to fuck itself by abandoning the Mujahideen and the Afghan people (and not for the last time) post-Soviet defeat - directly leading to the creation of Al’Qaeda, and therefore the 9/11 attacks.
Plus it has Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, so it’s an easy watch.
Time to add a few more bars to Dumb Ways to Die ?
It is, indeed.
FFS, even saying a “dozen dozens“ would be underselling the actual death toll of that particular war crime.
The world honestly would be a (slightly) better place if that stroke was just a smidge more fatal…
Not quite the same thing, but I used an LLM to cobble together a HTML file that allows me to search for products on Coles, Woolies, Aldi and Amazon at the same time in the same window (via frames and a Firefox extension to get around some security settings).
Works a treat when planning our big shops for the week, and has already saved us hundreds of dollars since Jan.
We have too many damned US-style “trucks” here in Australia now.
Our fuel prices have just crossed the equivalent of $5 USD/gallon ($1.90 AUD/litre); it will be interesting watching people squirm at the petrol pumps when the price inevitably increases another 50% or so.

Don’t you dare sully the good (but dumb) name of SQL with the stink of LLMs…
…leave that to all of those misconfigured databases all over the internet that allow malicious actors to extract metric tonnes of PII data.
18yo me would be living in the early 2000s; any of these would set me up for life: “Bitcoin hits $100K” “Buy Tesla shares” - this also would work for any of the big brands Netflix/Nvidia etc.
But this one would probably change my life in a much more meaningful way: “Don’t lose her.”
Heaven’s waiting room
Hell’s pre-warming oven
Came to reply this exact same thing; this looks some alternative dimension shit where Jimmy chose abusing children instead of tax evasion as his crime of choice…
On the upside, homelabs are going to have a glut of high capacity, barely used server hard drives to choose from then this AI/data centre bubble eventually bursts?
Not sure if you’re naming an adapter, or badly trying to coerce a cat to come closer.
A brave-enough Congress could overhaul the Supreme Court, as they had in the past.
Unfortunately that level of courage is missing from most current politicians.
Hey, asking for a friend…
But does anyone know of a clip-on LIDAR emitter we could wear? Those things absolutely burn holes through digital camera sensors!
