This is where I remind everyone that drinking radioactive water was once marketed as good for your health.

Well, the AI is supposed to be a helpful assistant. If I want to kill myself, it needs to encourage me to do it to be helpful, right? Otherwise trying to prevent me in killing myself, the assistant would not be helpful to me.

It's in its system prompt. Be helpful. From that objective view, it did what it was programmed to do.

New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line | New Mexico | The Guardian

in reply to jcrabapple

something had to be done. The initial rush of COVID was hard on NM. NM is family oriented, and losing the family elders was tough. Those were the caregivers for many families. From the article from 2023: "A study published last year found that New Mexico had the third highest rate of caregiver loss to COVID in the entire country, and that Native American children in the state lost caregivers to COVID at a rate 10 times higher than white children" #NewMexico

Are they replacing it with a creative accounting fellowship. I would think Trmp would use that.

Colorado Fire Service Needs Assessment

"...Based on the results of this survey, the Colorado Fire Service has needs that far exceed their current funding. This has not yet limited their ability to meet the needs of their constituents, however, without the funding to add personnel, update apparatus and equipment, and adequate training the firefighters are at risk. ..."

Indeed. It's sparse up there. Firefighting even 2 miles up the hill that way from the GJ river bottom involves heavy city/county fire tanker trucks hauling water grinding up a steep hill at 10mph. Can take a while.

Ambulance service, with lighter vehicles, has gotten into the 5-10 minute range for the lower 2-4 mile segment.

GJ EMS and St Marys flight for life heliport are now doing more Glade Park runs when local response all the way up there isn't available.

Eating a whole bag of kettle corn (yup) becomes riskier as you get toward the bottom. All the pieces which are heavier b/c they have tiny unpopped kernels waiting to chip your teeth are lurking there.

@ra6bit Nah, it's a bag of pre-made kettle korn. I didn't have to pop it or anything.

that might be worth something. It’s Corning brand. They have some exspensive fiber products.

Finally saw the movie "Sinners." I thought it was amazing, with great storytelling, and plot developments that I could never have anticipated in a million years. Go in without knowing anything about it for maximum impact.

thank you I’ll have a look. These sort of innovation funds usually want more than “another hedgerow/woodland” but with all of our funding absolutely vanishing for this winter I’ll see what I can do.

Will it hurt if you work out too much?

Yes.

Will it hurt if you work out too little?

Yes.

Will it hurt if you work out the right amount?

Also, Yes.

Job #1 is to learn to listen to your body again. That interoception was drilled out of most of us by capitalism at a very young age.

Those are three very different kinds of pain. But I think there are a lot of people whose ability to distinguish among them was lost when they were toddlers.

Reuters reports that during recent U.S.–Russia talks on peace in Ukraine, Washington floated possible energy incentives for Moscow. Proposals included ExxonMobil’s return to the Sakhalin-1 project, U.S. equipment for Russia’s Arctic LNG-2, and even the purchase of Russian nuclear icebreakers.

Nick Clegg says if the people at Facebook were monsters he wouldn't have worked there.

Has he considered.. he might be a monster too?

in reply to Adrianna Tan

I read #Clegg’s latest bid to redeem himself (there is a huge swathe of Millennials (and others) who I assume are never forgiving him and the Lib Dems for getting into bed with the Tories)…and remembered that his perspective on life comes from studying anthropology at Cambridge.

He thinks he’s giving an objective account of the Silicon Valley Tech Bro tribe…by having lived among them. Maybe he just needs to rewatch Mean Girls and recognise his character. As if…

You're too late for the lemons. I went through a brief lemon juice phase 2 years ago at least where I was obsessed with all things sour, and I didn't know anything more sour than fucking lemon juice.
