But… but…but…AI took our jerbs!

While I don’t get migraines, I do regularly get massive headaches and grind my teeth which are in such bad shape the dentist said it would be cheaper to just get full upper and lower implants at this point. Seeing how alcohol doesn’t always trigger the migraine I’d say yes it’s probably more to do with your teeth, but I’m just going on what you wrote to produce my unsolicited prognosis.

As for what alcohol triggers for me, GURD (severe and chronic acid reflux) and IBS-D.

The GURD can trigger almost immediately or later, depending on how strong the drink is.

The IBS-D usually hits within 1 to 2 hours of drinking and then it’s hours of pain, cramping, sitting on the toilet, and praying for death.

I haven’t had a drink since March 2019 and while I’ll never fully escape the symptoms of either of these, I have managed to reduce the frequency and severity of them by cutting out all alcohol.

Best of luck figuring out what’s causing your migraines. Best advice I can give is stop drinking for a while and see if you still get them, if yes then it’s probably not the alcohol.

Gluten free gunpowder, a bit more expensive but worth it once in a while when you want to treat yourself.

Alcohol triggers two medical conditions I have so I to don’t drink anymore. After 6 years without a drop of alcohol, trust me you’re better off not having it, just buy some fireworks or something.

According to the video, and he makes a good case for it, the U.S. is already at stage 5.

Tennessee PTA meetings could get awkward.

When I asit for data it’s generally data that would take hours to find, ready through, accept or reject, then take notes and summarize. When I tell an AI to do it, it takes a minute or two for all the data collection and summarization. Then all I have to do is click the link provided with each piece of data and verify it, which only takes a few minutes generally.

So yes, AI saves me hours of researching and summarizing even with checking the source data.

Exactly, I use AI to save time, and find data I most likely wouldn’t have found myself. It’s a tool, not a replacement.

I think the biggest problem is AI has been portrayed in film and TV as this all powerful computer that can do everything, and that’s what everyone thinks they have now. If we compare AI to the growth of the Internet, we’re still in the ARPANET phase, there’s still a looong way to go.

Yeah I use chatgpt and Gemini for targeted tasks, data collection and organizing for blog posts and work proposals (yes I verify the data, I know about A.I. hallucinations), and how to’s for tasks I don’t do often or have never done.

Just yesterday I told it “I just bought the PC (linked to product page) I want to install Linux Mint but first I want to disable secure boot, provide a step by step guide to accomplish this” and after about a minute it spit out and detailed guide referencing the manufacturer’s website, their forum, and a third party guide. It even pulled tips and tricks from the forum with things like “tip: users report if you see this screen do this to correct it (link to forum thread)”

I’m not giving these access to my email or calendar or anything like that, once I can have a locally hosted LLM that can access that stuff then sure, as long as I can control my data. Until then I just use commercial LLMs as tools that I don’t fully trust.

You get sued out of existence for damages.

This case? The supreme court made the president untouchable as long as it can be claimed as an official act, and he said it during a white house press conference so it will be deemed an official act.

So after their entire legal department quit rather than be associated with a case against the supreme leader, they’d find an ambulance chaser to file the lawsuit and trump would look at them like south African diplomat from leathal weapon 2 and say “presidential immunity” then the FDA and CDC would launch health and safety inspections and the IRS would audit the company and every employee from the CEO to the janitor in Booger Hole, WV.

Warthogs never die!

I may be a 41 year old, never married, single man, but the A-10 is the best plane ever built.

I will die on this lonely hill.

A two state solution will not work, correct. That is why the world must come together and kick the genocidal Israelis out of the Palestinians land.

Yep, fellow 84 here, most of my memories growing up are from the 90’s.

I currently have family in town and am working an 8 hour night shift on 2 hours of sleep, missing those 2 extra hours is really talking it’s toll.

Hey you were closer than me, I would have guessed closer to Roman times since it hits me as a Latin origin.

I’m mobile and can’t verify anything, but if you trust a goggle AI Overview then here you go.

The word “flotilla” originates from the Spanish word flotilla, a diminutive form of flota meaning “fleet”. This, in turn, came from Old French floter and ultimately Germanic roots, like Old Norse floti (“raft, fleet”) and Old English flota (“ship” or “fleet”), which are ancestors of the English word “float”. The English term “flotilla” was adopted in 1711 and refers to a small fleet, especially of small naval vessels like destroyers or submarines. Here’s a breakdown of the word’s origin: Spanish: Flotilla (diminutive of flota, meaning “fleet”). Old French: Floter (“to float, set afloat”). Germanic: Old Norse floti (“raft, fleet”) and Old English flota (“ship, fleet”). Indo-European: Traced back to the root pleu- (“to flow”). The English word “flotilla” was first recorded in 1711.

Interesting, the national guard is deployed throughout the city because of the high crime rate. I guess it’s time to send them home and launch a congressional investigation while the media does round the clock coverage of “Guard Gate”.

Who knows donny maybe it’ll distract people from the Epstein files, it won’t, but maybe it will, either way donny boy you never know until you try!

Well I’m guessing then that we don’t have that licensing.

*update - I finally got a chance to try calling out while on a teams call, I can dial but there’s no call button and nothing happens when I hit enter. Confirmed, we do not have the call out feature…at least at my level and below don’t have it, can’t speak for management.

We have teams for business but I would bet the call out feature is blocked. We started using zoom for management level meetings because a r supervisor who was on vacation needed to be included. So either management doesn’t know about the call out feature (entirely likely) or our IT blocks it.

Now I’m curious, maybe I’ll try calling my cell phone on Monday to see if it works or not.
