haha! ya they’re amazing cats. I call the blue “puppy cat”, he greets me at the door, follows me around the house, loves belly rubs and has such a pleasant disposition! He’s also just sort of buff, he stands like a pit bull with his arms out like he’s flexing, its funny for a cat.

AI bubble is gonna pop so hard.

He is pretty strong! he is pretty active and loves running around the house. Obsessed with the laser pointer!

Ya thats where I’m at right now. On one hand I detest the data/privacy nonsense and the unfair subsidies but… on the other I think a fire under these companies asses to innovate and compete is long overdue. Also our EV infrastructure just doesn’t seem like it’s quite there yet. Something has to change because I just don’t think cars are worth what they are asking right now.

Alright I’ll say it. I hate how pricey cars and transportation currently are and would totally go for a decent middle of the road (no pun intended) EV that costs like $10-20K less than whats currently on offer. Now I know theres a lot of unfair competition and nuanced takes around this topic so someone please tell me why that might not be the best stance to take, I’m trying to be a little more informed.

Ya that would be awesome and I think that movement would gain momentum really fast since most high profile labs have all had to deal with this nonsense.

That or legislation/open access rules to make these papers more accessible. One can dream.

Because of “impact score” the journal your work gets placed in has a huge impact on future funding. Its a very frustrating process and trying to go around it is like suicide for your lab so it has to be more of a top-down fix because the bottom up is never going to happen.

Thats why everyone uses sci hub. These publishers are terrible companies up there with EA in unpopularity.

I loved this game, DLC would have been a day 1 buy for me

For some reason I specifically remember the abysmal cable management as a highlight of my trip to Thailand

world news lol, Thats probably why. It was a comment under an article on that topic and they went censor-crazy.

I’ve had this happen to me, I was chatting in a thread with some guy about IP theft and plagiarism at universities- a legitimate discussion about a current topic- and all my comments were suddenly deleted for “xenophobia”. I let it go but its still really jarring and annoying.

I used to call it netflix syndrome but I think its just bad writing industry-wide
