  • Windows 98 ate my college photos and music when a virus made my HDD take a click of death dump.

    Fuck you to whoever wrote that virus. Since then I gave various linuses a go and I did so for a while each just learning how to be as lazy as possible while using linux. Later I had to run windows for some cad software. But after it corrupted my Linux several times I gave it the boot into its own drive which is only startable using grub. Grub sits on the Linux drive. My home drive is a big ass Linux formatted drive that mounts into Home/username. That way even if my Linux takes a shit I can reinstall it and boom back to where I left off…solo much further than anything windows could ever imagine. I could even have several linuses all going to the same home folder without any problem.












  • At some point someone invented the router to cut wood. I have one in my shop and it has yet to produce a beautiful ornate window.

    Like a router, an llm is just a tool. the problem is that llms report back to their masters. They also know too little about your specific problem. And they’re not good at math or engineering, they just guess. So you have to craft your questions carefully and around things you know so you can fact check. Otherwise they’re awesome.

    Okay, despite being a weak acid by the formal definition, hydrofluoric acid is extremely corrosive and dangerous because undissociated HF penetrates tissues and the fluoride ion strongly complexes with calcium and magnesium in the body. This is why HF can cause severe burns and systemic toxicity even though it is not a strong acid in the acid base sense.


  • I’ll believe nothing until I see it. I’ll be voting Democrat.

    Also be on the lookout for Republicans in sheep’s clothes running for local elections. You can easily tell them apart but I won’t say how. Just read the pamphlet or if they fucked up and you didn’t get one go to the website and read about the candidates. For local I’ve been picking people by their background. For example for superintendent for the school district pick a teacher. For fire fighters pick a firefighter. For other things I’ve picked engineers and science background candidates. We gotta get rid of the retarded politicians and the carrier politicians that just waste our tax money on defense and military stuff.
