When your whole political movement is based on fear and hatred, things like this are inevitable. They fear and hate each other only slightly less than they fear and hate us.
I am owned by several dogs and cats. I have been playing non-computer roleplaying games for almost five decades. I am interested in all kinds of gadgets, particularly multitools, knives, flashlights, and pens.

Carter was the first president I voted for when I turned 18. He’s one of those rare people who has always lived his principles. He still gives me hope for our country.
I really look forward to your reviews. They are both informative and entertaining.
So far I’ve managed not to run out any buy of these knives, but strangeness has always been a positive selling point for me.
That’s perfect. And she won’t mind if the stitching is off.
I saw an article a year or two back that talked about this very thing. It was actually management people at Amazon saying that they predicted they would be “out of employees” before the end of this decade.
It’s simple. Turn this into a blanket for her. Then make a bag.
The 519As in the light I EDC still have their domes. I have another light where the domes were removed and I prefer them intact, particularly for this combination. Removing the domes shifts them from flood toward throw and lowers the overall output by 10-15%. The W2s provide all the throw you could want, so the 519As are there to provide a good flood around the hotspot.
If you do decide to de-dome, bear in mind that it shifts the color temperature warmer by around 1000K. So if you want to end up around 4000K, buy the 5700K LEDs to de-dome.
The overall throw of the DT8 lights is something of a compromise, but it isn’t bad. I suspect I’m getting over 500m of effective throw from mine. The W2s have a lot of reach and the sheer volume of lumens helps too.
I actually recommend the Emisar DT8K Dual Channel. It’s the light I EDC and I sometimes also use it as a bike light. I find the 21700 grips more comfortable than the smaller 18650s. The strange shape makes it thinner in the pocket than anything else with a comparable size of head.
I suggest the Dual Channel loaded with one set of W2 LEDs and another set of 519As. That combination provides a lot of throw in the center with a lot of flood around it. If you want finer control you can configure it so you can adjust the relative strength of each channel, which will effectively act like zooming in or zooming out.
Overall it’s the most versatile hand light I have. And it’s oddities make it nearly ideal for us as a headlight.
I hadn’t noticed, until this post, that there were options for the icon. Mine is now set to O.G., but I will probably switch back-and-forth between that and Progress Pride.
What scares me is that con men and delusional idiots are the ones making the decisions about AI. Like biological weapons development, this is an area where unintended consequences have the potential to destroy mankind. And it is in the hands of people who have demonstrated that they will fire anyone who wants to slow them down by examining the risks and the underlying ethics of what they are doing.
Altman is the most obviously terrible example of someone who should never be allowed near this technology, but his counterparts at Google, IBM, Apple, and the other tech giants are nearly as bad. They want the fame, money, and power this could bring them. None of them are looking out for the good of humanity as a whole.
I firmly believe that our best hope, at least for the moment, is that general AI is going to take longer than they think. We are not going to achieve it by building more powerful versions of what we have now. It will require something new and different. By the time that breakthrough happens, we need to have responsible people managing it.
The different personalities are so clear from this picture, but they’re both gorgeous.
Depending on the source, Wall Street is somewhere between 3 and 25 feet above sea level. It wouldn’t take much to dampen the market’s spirit. :-)
She is doing her job. And very well, from what I can see.
They could just play random sound bites of him talking about electrocuting sharks and windmills causing cancer. It would be pretty much like the last debate.
You are both fortunate.
She’s adorable!
And I want to know what she’s saving up to buy.
It isn’t glamorous and it doesn’t grab headlines, but that is how these problems get fixed.
It is probably other things, but Apple has been caught intentionally reducing the performance of older iPhones to sell new ones. After a huge scandal, court cases, and an agreement with the feds, they waited a few years and did exactly the same thing again.
Exactly. The rich will be able to buy privacy, while the rest become ever easier to exploit.
