Have you seen the quality of some of those OCR scans? I’m reaing the Stainless Steel Rat books from Anna’s Archive right now, and the number of errors is ridiculous, and it’s not an isolated case. Pretty much every one I’ve read had at least a few. Good luck getting decent training data from them.

Worth it.

Pretty sure they just did.

Film critics are like friends: you need to choose a few that share your taste, and stick with them. For me it’s Moviebob, Redletter Media and Patrick H Willems. They appreciate whacky shit as much as I do.

‘The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford’ was this for me.

Fuck off.

Where the hell did we go wrong?

When we handed control of tech over from nerds to money-men.

I can’t believe it took me until this year to find that.

I just wish the people that scan books with OCR would actuality read through the result and check for errors. A couple I’ve read lately are absolutely riddled with them.

Good story.

If you’re not capable of having a good laugh in a sex session, you’re doing it wrong. If the situation in the OP happened to me, I’d have cracked up, and probably fallen a little bit more in love.

A partner and I once got into an uncontrollable giggling fit when I referred to sex as ‘thrusty cuddles’.

I had a similar response at a Maria Bamford show I went to earlier in the year when she said “I like it when he puts his dingle in my wet plop.”

And now I’m giggling again.

The devs had a better taste in music than most irl commercial stations.

Dance Jimmy!

That song was part of my ukulele busking set back in the day, and I still play it for myself now and then. Weirdly, that’s the only Ween album I’ve ever really gotten into. l also play Cold Blows The Wind and The Blarney Stone from that album. It’s such a good album.

I always thought it referred to being drunk. Sauce being a euphemism for alcohol.

Seems like as good a reason as any to do it.

Build them a frog hotel.

Once I figure out how, I’m just gonna block the whole instance.

I learned that lesson this week.

However, based on Microsoft’s explanation of why Windows 11 doesn’t have an adjustable taskbar, it’s safe to assume that the company isn’t interested in pouring its engineering resources into pursuing something that won’t benefit a majority of users.

And yet they’re forcing a.i. nonsense into everything for who’s benefit exactly?

Like I said, he was a fuckwit.

I had a fuckwit self-professed ‘communist’ co-worker many years ago that tried to tell me that my education and skills was my capital. :|
