optional

Don’t you worry, you’ll have an election. Even the Germans had elections during their darkest times. That doesn’t mean you’ll have a choice though.

I don’t care that you used to be a dude, but I must say, the surgeon did an amazing job.

I’m planning to upgrade my Linux system with a new graphics card soon, and the only reason I’m actually still considering Nvidia is CUDA. It just seems so much easier, and so much more broadly supported by software. But maybe that’s just because I’ve never tried it.

I hope, you got Paracetamol, or Ibuprofen instead of Aspirin, as the latter is an anticoagulant, which prevents the blood from thickening itself. Other than that, that’s exactly the same medication I got in Germany when my wisdom teeth were extracted: Local anesthetics during the procedure, paracetamol for afterwards and a sick note for one day with the option to get it prolonged if necessary. Outside the US it’s not as common to throw a ton of opioids at minor/medium pains. Which is why the US has an opioid crisis and we don’t.

I live thousand miles and almost 40 years away from the Chernobyl disaster. And still we have to test and dispose boar meat regularly because of over the top Caesium-137 polution.

Is there anything else for me to do on the island? Is it big enough to go hiking, can you swim in the ocean, or is there just a desk and a chair and you have to play all day while not eating/sleeping? Because if that was the case, I’d choose some sports game, probably Nintendo’s Ring Fit Adventure, but I don’t know any alternatives. Sitting at the desk 16 hours a day would be quite uncomfortable after a while. Other than that my choices have already been named: Factorio (can I wait till October please, before you send me off to that island 🙏. I can’t wait 5 more years for the expansion!) and KSP.

You believe an LLM can be used to distinguish facts from fiction? I wonder up to which year that misconception was taught in school.

The whole point of LLMs is, to convince their users that the “facts” they generate are actual facts.

Only map game I play is Worldle. But I’m pretty sure it doesn’t contain neither empire, as they don’t exist anymore. But it’s true I’m a little addicted to it.

Stop lowering the bar!

So did the CIA.

OTOH, if you eat a lot of shitty food, it can very well be the case, that you just get enough essential nutrients by the sheer amount of food you’re eating. That would mean that by cutting the amount without changing what you eat, you’d get into malnutrition.

My sommelier has no barrista either.

Even if you only eat pure sugar, as long as you eat less than you burn, you’ll loose weight. You would of cause get scurvy and all other kinds of disease, but you’ll still loose weight. Your body can’t produce something out of the air, that’s thermodynamics 101.
