Do you dab? I dab. You should dab. (Go team Venture!)

I’m white trash, and I’m in trouble!

I have cups from Kinto, the Kronos espresso cup. I like them a lot.

I’ve dropped them a couple of times (not “cat off the top rope” level, but also not just knocking them over) and they’ve survived.

Most companies will outsource the chatbot to a third party (like Zendesk, as part of Zendesk’s overall support packaging), and those are usually billed per conversation, not per token (at least, not until they update contract terms lol), so you’ll want to make sure you’re starting many many chats and engaging in them (send at least a couple of messages).

Also, some systems will not count against the quota if the AI didn’t “fix” the issue, so always end with “thanks, that helped” to make sure the conversation counts against the limit.

However, if you’re using a product with some copilot crap, ask it for help, and then just constantly ask for minor adjustments or corrections (“no, that’s not quite right, try again. I wanted the color to be a little more blue” “no, try again, now it’s too blue, reduce it”, you get the idea). You’ll burn through soooo many tokens.

Please, if it was actually 47, it would not be an attempted assassination.

After a couple of quick reloads and path optimizations, of course.

For a glorious moment, I forgot about the man and thought Toronto had a giant dragon-like ice sculpture… damn reality ruins everything

If you choose to walk up from the train station (and I recommend that over the taxis, the garden are lovely), those stairs to the highest points are a brutal add-on, but damn are the views worth it

Idk about you, but if I got messy enough with my pencils to have that much on my hands, I’d just wash my hands…

Hell, maybe the old pink pearl could actually help take graphite (or whatever composite, based on that other post) off of skin, and I just learned something

Ah yea, after rereading, I think you’re right, still weird, but not as weird as I initially thought

Anyone else concerned about the “or skin” just tacked on to the end of the eraser description? Who… who is trying to erase their skin?

The most frustrating incomplete series ever. I can’t even recommend the first two books to people in good conscience anymore.

Gotta get the balls as smooth as the brain

I hope that coffee really hits the spot, because it’s not ODD, it’s just “odd”.

There is some scientific backing to this. Basically by isolating ourselves in these little bubbles of death, we stop seeing the other people as people and this removes any moral/societal blockers to descending into a pit of rage and calling for the termination of their bloodline, death by inept firing squad, etc.

Basically those two manufacturers made cars that were easier to steal, and then it became a thing on TikTok.

This is spot on.

I like making leather goods for friends and family. As soon as I made my first few things, my parents and (now ex) wife starting making comments about making it my side hustle, selling at fairs/farmer markets, etc.

I took a few steps down that road, but the business side of figuring out costs, meeting deadlines, etc., absolutely killed my passion for my hobby and I basically quit doing it for almost two years.

I’ve only just gotten back into it over the past few months, making some things for my friends and “charging” them something like a homemade painting or a six-pack of good beer and letting them know their wallet/purse/whatever will be done when it’s done.

I’m happy, they’re happy, and my day job continues to be my source of income, while my hobby is my escape and still feels good.
