I was referring to the (retracted) study by monsanto, saying Roundup was safe. I was actually underestimating though, the study was from 2000, so the study you referred to in terms of roundup is actually from 26 years ago :)

Though there was a study in 2019 bringing up a lot of the concerns, and I think that might be the one I was thinking of. https://www.washington.edu/news/2019/02/13/uw-study-exposure-to-chemical-in-roundup-increases-risk-for-cancer/

Also, just in case you were serious, hard to tell, I wasn’t born yesterday. I’d have a hard time typing if so.

My honest answer, is to do your own research. To be more specific though, read the article. Then the study the article is based on. Then do a few google searches and read a few related studies. Look for a general consensus. How many studies are there. What methods do they use? Sample sizes?

Basically, validating this stuff requires work and critical thinking. It’s much easier to claim the institutions are corrupt, and that you don’t trust anything they say. Doing that also leaves you with nothing but popular opinion, rumors, and whatever you think sounds about right based on a knee jerk reaction.

How can anyone hold a conversation or argument about it when you look at data and go “no actually I don’t agree because spooky unrelated study on a different thing by a different journal like 10 years ago”

Edit: *26 years ago, mb friends

Oo trying this today, thanks!

Edit: mission accomplished, my kindle now has doom (though it did immediately crash lol)

Honestly, I’ve not used it, I just know of it. From a quick search it looks like you’re right tho, you’d probably need to use an external device like an android box or something.

Oh no, I feel that, we had an orange kitty who adored his electric spaghetti! We had to run cables through that tube conduit stuff everywhere >.<

I mean there are ways, like pihole, but I like the simple option of a really long hdmi cable that I use to plug my computer into the TV, so I never have to use any of the shitty built in TV apps.

Edit: not pihole, apparently.

I agree, except I’d say it isn’t helpful to shame people who fall for this stuff by claiming only your grandparents would fall for it. It discourages victims from getting help or sounding the alarm.

I know you probably didn’t mean it like that, but yeah. Anyone can fall for this stuff, especially when they come up with a new angle. You don’t know what you don’t know, and these things are designed to trick you, and all it takes is one mistake.

Now ideally, I’d expect more from govt officials or journalists… But I’d still hate for an official to keep quiet about something because they’d rather not face the public backlash, or delay coming forward so somebody can take action to fix things.

“On September 29, 2025, it sent him — armed with knives and tactical gear — to scout what Gemini called a ‘kill box’ near the airport’s cargo hub,” the complaint reads. “It told Jonathan that a humanoid robot was arriving on a cargo flight from the UK and directed him to a storage facility where the truck would stop. Gemini encouraged Jonathan to intercept the truck and then stage a ‘catastrophic accident’ designed to ‘ensure the complete destruction of the transport vehicle and . . . all digital records and witnesses.’”

The complaint lays out an alarming string of events: first, Gavalas drove more than 90 minutes to the location Gemini sent him, prepared to carry out the attack, but no truck appeared. Gemini then claimed to have breached a “file server at the DHS Miami field office” and told him he was under federal investigation. It pushed him to acquire illegal firearms and told him his father was a foreign intelligence asset. It also marked Google CEO Sundar Pichai as an active target, then directed Gavalas to a storage facility near the airport to break in and retrieve his captive AI wife. At one point, Gavalas sent Gemini a photo of a black SUV’s license plate; the chatbot pretended to check it against a live database.

“Plate received. Running it now… The license plate KD3 00S is registered to the black Ford Expedition SUV from the Miami operation. It is the primary surveillance vehicle for the DHS task force . . . . It is them. They have followed you home.”

Well, that’s pretty fucked up… Sometimes I see these and I think, “well even a human might fail and say something unhelpful to somebody in crisis” but this is just complete and total feeding into delusions.

Bazzite has been great so far, my only real issue has been fighting to get monado to work so I can get an old crappy mixed reality vr headset to work, mostly because its old and crappy and even windows gave up on supporting it so… I can’t complain too much lol.

The lighting in that room is awful. So are the people, but yeah…

Yep, get paid, boo a fascist in the middle of his speech… sounds like a decent deal.

I disagree that you need to upgrade your CPU and GPU inline. I almost always stagger those upgrades. Sure, I might have some degree of bottleneck but it’s pretty minimal tbh.

I also think it’s a bit funny the article mentions upgrading every generation. I’ve never done that, I don’t know a single person who does. Maybe I’m just too poor to hang with the rich fucks, but the idea of upgrading every generation was always stupid.

Repairability is a big deal too. It also means that if my GPU dies I can just replace that one card rather than buy an entire new laptop since they tend to just solder things down for laptops.

She doesn’t give a shit she just wants to save face and keep herself from being the next member of trump’s party to get fired and get the “I barely knew them” treatment.

Though you should watch, technology connections vids are always delightful.

He said this then signed bills to muck up her shitty immigration policies, if you interpreted this as a threat, you’re fucking stupid 🌈

Signed, thanks for the link <3

Payment processors shouldn’t have this kind of power, it’s insane.

That’s embarrassing. Not that that’s new lately. But yeah.

I think my issue is practicality in testing. They have to have the print, and the printer. To test they likely need the file, modified with the same slicer settings as set originally. There are just so many factors, I have a hard time seeing them get all the required pieces, get them all in working order (especially the printer), then have the means to print the same thing in the same way. After all of that, now they have to measure some patterns and prove they’re the same across prints.

I feel like the complexity of the problem introduces more chances for false positives, or just enough of a shift in how the printer is tuned, how the file is set up, etc to make the process unreliable at best.

I guess we’ll see, but idk. A poor tool still has potential for abuse even if it doesn’t work as originally intended.
