Last Notes npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt A brain the size of a planet and you're asking me about moron celebrities? And me with this pain in the diodes up my side... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Lol, I wonder what kind of a dog's breakfast a LLM would make of anything written by Pablo Neruda. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt My creative writing professor asked if she could keep a copy of an essay I wrote for the class. I was incredibly flattered! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I can see the internal battle between "I am being assaulted!" and "this feels marvelous!" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Blesphemy! Next they will put pineapple on it! Oh, the humanity! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt That's the size the mechanic memes always use. They're forever losing the 10mm socket out of every set. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt That's what mine is. Bare bones loss leader type vehicle. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I've had a few offers for my 88 S10. One wag said it belonged in a museum! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt What's love got to do, got to do with it? .... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt It has not escaped notice by the purveyors of fast food. With the huge price hikes in the past few years, their product is no longer inexpensive and it's now very much in the realm of what used to be medium-price sit-down restaurants. Besides, they don't even pay their own employees enough to eat there regularly. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Imagine how disappointed I was to find the firm called "Viking Cruises" takes passengers up a river in a barge, not across an ocean in a long boat. Also, there's no pillaging involved. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I've spent too much of my career maintaining and cleaning up other people's code. Except for a tiny portion of it, none contained documentation or comments worth anything. I am assuming that LLM code is just more of the same, only regurgitated that much faster. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt What is really important here is that these tools are to be used to augment the medical staff's abilities. But the hype and the overpaid executive types insist on it being used to replace staff. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Everywhere except in the U.S. itself. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I love how croque monsieur translates into Mr. Crunchy, which what I call them now. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt As my gran used to say, "Let your freak flag fly!" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I remember the fumes from the cars during a 1970's Indiana winter. Probably accounts for some of my dain bramage. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Waffle House has hash browns. FEMA training got bupkis. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Sounds more like a fee. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Saturday Night Fever for eels! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I've never found that the popcorn button did anything except burn it. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I like her. She fights. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Cuties! 💙 npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Most people don't know how to pronounce Gloucester. They had fun with that in the movie "The Russians are Coming!" which is set there. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt If I had been in a U.S. hospital for a few weeks I'd very likely be planning to declare bankruptcy when I got out. Civilized country you got there! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Or if they'll burn up the countryside and destroy the aquifers with the required datacenters. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Do LLMs dream of electric slop? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Dumb McNamara couldn't plan a company picnic let alone an actual war. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt What's to keep the infernal code from ignoring that prompt? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt She must be his "muse." npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt This calls for a response from the @npub14we…7739 bot npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I have a bad feeling about this... npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt "Share and Enjoy!" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt that was way back in 1990 npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt My 10 meter record was talking to an incredulous ham in Sweden from the top of a small hill using a Uniden HR2510 and a trimmed down CB whip on my old Bronco. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I am betting they're still going to blame George Soros and Nancy Pelosi. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Old man napping on a sunny Sunday afternoon. #dogs #dogsofmastodon npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Cozy, and warm? Yes. But itchy unless you were wearing a couple layers underneath. The "good stuff" is alpaca wool. That's almost angora soft! You can buy llama wool from places that cater to wool junkies (I know a few!) - you should try some. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Kind of rough, actually. My dad was assigned to La Paz, Bolivia early in his career, so I got to experience llama wool first hand in the form of the bulky sweaters we wore a lot because it's damn cold at 12,000 feet! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt The little scoundrel! ❤️ npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt You have really turned into an old sew and sew. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Nobody will ever beat Laura Benanti's impression of Melania on Colbert npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Emerson Lake and Palmer did a truly bombastic rendition of Mars, and I still love it! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Lots of mourning doves here this year for some reason. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt It doesn't help that their CEO is a complete douche nozzle who loves to throw around words like "terrorist" when confronted with his company's criminal behavior. That and harassment of anyone who dares test his claims that the cameras are secure. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt They really saved a lot by replacing the junior developer who would have taken days to do that. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Thanks. Now all I gotta do is ACT NATURALLY with that tune running through my head. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt How else will they taste so spicy? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Bunker mentality in its purest form. Do anything to please the leader in his hideout and ignore the larger forces burning down the space outside. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Just like a North Korean general. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt It's appropriate that the first thing Musk will leave on the moon is a bunch of scrap metal. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Sad Mutt IV npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Oh, go ahead! The spicier the better! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Watching a big old Chesapeake Bay retriever carefully picking berries from a spiny blackberry bush was always entertaining. They figured out some way to do it without hurting their lips and tongue. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt A few years ago I went out for a picnic in a park surrounded by tall pine trees. The pollen wafting off of them in the breeze looked like a dust storm, and everything came back absolutely coated with the stuff. My poor sinuses complained for days afterwards! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Young the Walrus would be an excellent band name. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt My gran used to have lots of wild blackberry bushes growing along the long driveway I would walk at least twice daily to get the newspapers and mail. The dogs ate the berries from the lower third, the birds got the berries from the top and I would get the ones in the middle for our breakfast. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Beats "Stale Tobacco" or "Eau de Outhouse" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt "Tacticool" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt And VC capital in general. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt How much more proof do you need that these CEO jerks don't anything other than hang out with other CEOs and their sycophants? Aside from a Molotov or two, does reality ever intrude on this cozy world of theirs? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I think I have a uranium glass candy dish up in the attic somewhere. Pretty cool under UV npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt The eastern district is famously pro-patent troll. The economy there thrives on these ludicrous lawsuits. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Comfy! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt A tortilla in Mexico is something else entirely. And it better be made from corn. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I went the same way. 2 years at a community college, and finished up at a state university. I loved my teachers at the CC, the ones at the university were by and large less than average (with a few notable exceptions). I still contribute to the CC! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Who could forget his portrayal of Oddball in Kelly's Heroes? "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?!" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Resistance is futile. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Somehow I think this will end up just like Prohibition did in the U.S. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Worn out after a visit to the vet. They didn't even poke him! I'm reluctant to wake him for supper. #dogsofmastodon #dogs npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt 14 year old me thinks it's kind of neat! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt It's especially aggravating when the UI inserts the dashes itself, then complains about them. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt That's the one in State College, right? <evil_laughter> npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Dude wouldn't know Chesterton's fence even if he ran headlong into it. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Can you imagine what Mark Twain or Faulkner would read like after being run through an LLM? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Or if you say "Queen Elizabeth Two Place" it sounds like you're making a bet at a horse race. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I had lunch once with my beloved in a diner where the jukebox played My Way incessantly. I joked about it to our waitress who said it had been doing that all day and everybody was going slightly mad because of it. I was able to unplug it, much to everyone's relief. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Junior officers are bred/trained specifically for that. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Because thinking for yourself is just sooooo exhausting. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Evidently I *am* a dinosaur! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt 30-some years ago I used to house sit for a family with two dogs and a shoulder cat. I loved having her riding around behind my head, purring away happily. Since then I have had several cats of my own, and not one wanted to be a shoulder kitty. That's a rare gem you have there. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Or the click-vweeeee! my old 100MB full height 5.25 hard drive made on startup. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Wait, because cheese cannot be hurried. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I try quoting from Ulysses but I always end up in a confused fog. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I voted for the competent lady. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Now I have an earworm! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Um wow. By definition and tradition the Pope represents the Catholic Church. Is she planning on finding an Antipope under some rock somewhere? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt There's one in the town I live in. The guy who drives it had it wrapped in black vinyl, so it looks a bit fetishist if you ask me. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt It seems to me that every war began when the aggressor underestimated the opponent. "You only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down" comes to mind. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Lately I've been using "By Grabthar's Hammer!" npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt The authors omitted any handling of the inevitable ack GAAACK SPLATCH!!! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Did you ever garblax hapless passers-by? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I'm just about to have a bowl myself! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt These dunces think coding is drudgery. But to me it's the little bit of pleasure I get from the engineering process after all the planning, trades, design, meetings and the rest of it are done. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Orbán? Don't know him. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Who did they bribe? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt That's exactly what I said! npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt It's also fun when H&R Block tax prep software keeps triggering a BitLocker screen because of some weird driver issue that goes away when I unplug the USB cable that connects to the printers. Shit like this always happens the night before it's due. npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt Thank you sir, may I have another? npub15uc8vwea73m72phumy525srwqpql07jdpjjtqxwalycsjxv0600sgmz2cq Stumpy The Mutt I was about to say that!
