"Joshua: Greetings, Professor Falken.
Stephen Falken: Hello, Joshua.
Joshua: A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"

Not learned by Pinocchio Joe and the people advising him.

Hmm. You would think I would remember that - going to High School & College in the 1970s.

Jim Cramer suggests a Harris win

Time to bet on Trump!

@freemo @randahl
Yeah, sort of.

But then I see reasons like
"Federates with the usual suspects"
or
https://fba.ryona.agency/?reason=Federates+with+the+usual+suspects
where we have over 800 rejects with that (or a similar) reason.

Where we have people who block servers because they talk to the "wrong people".

SMH.

@djsumdog
A few suggestions
- could you post a picture clearly showing the front of the case?
- could you post a close up picture of the logo?
- if you pull it out, is there a label on the back panel? Thinking of a model number, lot number, serial number, or other identification.

I also found this

Not a black case but what was demoed at Computex 2005.

Zero for agricultural work. You got paid by the pound for picking fruits or vegetables. IIRC, a penny a pound for green beans.

I worked at a car wash for a few weeks in 1974. The minimum wage was $1.60 (federal) according to
https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2014/01/oregons_minimum_wage_1968_to_2.html
I think I got paid $2 or $3 an hour plus tips. The "manager" got $5 an hour.

I got a GS5 job at McNary Dam later that summer & was paid more than the car wash manager. Had to pay for a spot in a trailer park though - maybe $30 a month.

@chris
Okay....

TL;DR - Too verbose.

The FAQ & Glossary far outweigh the content of the story. Being a cheap bastard I just use GPT4All on my laptop with Mistral-Instruct and even it generates way too long responses.

It is this kind of stuff that will make the AI models worse over time as they take this as input into later iterations.

@macspace @ZeroSum06
Actually this is recent.

I saw that last week & the person is really scared of COVID when I looked into it.

She hasn't posted in a couple weeks - I guess too much blowback.

EPA proposed clean water rules may end small meat processing facilities

https://brownstone.org/articles/epa-threatens-locally-produced-beef/

where the cost to clean water to the levels required could be over $300K to buy & $100K / year to operate.

Notes that a SCOTUS ruling about Chevron deference could kill this new rule - we will see.

Some interesting comments as well.

If you go to this guy's feed - you will find several other tweets that are as interesting as this one.

@cjntenn
If that was the case - where was his outrage at Trump for causing it? He blames Trump for the border and everything else under the sun but not this?

Every comment on the first page is negative.

I looked at the brands shown (15 seconds in). I'd be REALLY mad as a product maker if the two I checked are correct

- Breyers hasn't changed their size in a while. Some products have slightly different sizes - I think they sell by weight.

- Gatorade changed from 32oz to 28oz - in July 2022. Over a year ago.

Bidenflation indeed!
