  • You are kinda missing the point.

    It’s not about how energy efficient or inefficient a single ChatGPT prompt is.

    It’s that A/C is arguably more important to an individual than your ability to use AI. But while the government asking people to reduce AC usage is not new, AI is.

    So we’re introducing new and unnecessary ways to draw power while asking people to tolerate higher temperatures within their homes.

    My personal take is that we should be investing in nuclear power so we continue evolving as a society. But I guess we can hold back progress in the name of puttering along with other technology as the world slowly burns and people cook inside their homes





  • My god guys it was terrible, my Dad sent me to the store for a bucket of steam, and the cashier laughed at me.

    How was I supposed to know steam didn’t come in pre-packaged buckets? Nobody ever explained the particulars of steam packaging!

    Literally nothing worse could ever happen to me. Now I’ll be in therapy for years.



  • It’s critical thinking. In life, it’s not always about knowing but about understanding.

    It’s also about having thick skin and the ability to take a joke. Nobody is hurt, it is funny when you think about it, and it will encourage you to think about things in the future.

    I do not need to know turn signals don’t require blinker fluid. Because it’s a fuckin light bulb.

    The people in this comments section are acting like this is somehow traumatic. How fucking sheltered are you people?



  • You should look at what the requirements look like for an immigrant Visa. The average person in South America does not have the ability to satisfy those requirements. But that doesn’t mean they are unable to become a valuable and contributing member of society.

    I know people in the US that came here illegally and have gone on to become business owners. But only because they were able to meet and marry a US citizen.

    There needs to be a legal path to entry. And we should be stopping the flood of people coming over the border at the same time.



  • I had a car with push button start and a CVT. After putting the first 50 miles on the car, the brake light switch died. Nissan, in their ultimate wisdom, used the brake light switch to tell the computer if you are pressing the brake when starting the car. Well, no brake light switch, no starting the engine. Had to get it towed back to the dealership to get fixed.

    I now have a real key and a manual transmission.
