They are leaving a lot to the imagination here! If a person had logs stacked in the right way, it isn't outside of reality to cut them to an appropriate length in an hour and have enough wood for one winter that still needs split. And stacked, if you're into that. I have done 11 cords of wood in two days (with three total people) from beginning to end. Not easy work 🥵 Loud, uncomfortable, dangerous.

So, I think your mention of the Caribbean is pretty on point! Most folks wouldn't find it worth it, but chainsaws were a game changer and maybe it seemed realistic to people then.

I don't know about your Blue Ball, but I grew up by a different one (called Blue Ball), and other superficially similar town names. I was told they were from the roadhouse days. Something like there was an inn at that junction that had a blue ball on the sign. The junctions became towns. Most are gone, now, but sometimes live on in road names. It's interesting to think about what the significance of "blue ball" may have been 200+ years ago. Perhaps similar haha. Traveling can be hard.

I watched some videos with subtitles, I see that beer chicken is very different, thanks for sharing and encouraging me to look at videos! One video said that drunken chicken is good for new year, I did not know this.

Tire pressure monitoring sensors don't transmit continually. It probably varies from one manufacturer to another, but it isn't enough that a fixed camera could reliably catch them transmitting. They have a battery, and the accuracy has to be balanced with life span. The older systems you mentioned mostly used things like ABS sensors to sense tire inflation issues. No wireless signals with them.

I not familiar with high end vehicles, maybe jaguars etc are different but an average person will have or did have what I mentioned for the most part.

Tech changes, maybe next year we get wifi TPMS 🫤

I do not get good search results with beer chicken 🙁️ not anything like what you have shown. But it is something like drunken chicken, but less fancy?

I can't read the 啤酒鸡 and my translator is not working, but I thought of this which I am guessing you had in mind 🙂️

Sports in general seem to be controlled by right-wing people. Teams owned by right leaning folks, league directors who are conservatives, international conglomerates lead by people who are corrupt fascists. I don't know the answer to this, but for some reason competitive athletics have been taken over by terrible people. These things will make it very difficult to find resolution for this, which is frustrating since I feel like women's sports are really growing and this "distraction" isn't a thing. Or shouldn't be, I think.

While this could be good, I think about this much older article that talks about somewhat similar things, specifically

turkey offal, tires, plastic bottles, harbor-dredged muck, old computers, municipal garbage, cornstalks, paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, oil-refinery residues, even biological weapons such as anthrax spores

but they ended up only doing (what I remember being) the turkey offal. The article mentioned here says

plastic compounds and agricultural byproducts like discarded plant stalks into proteins, fats, acids, and flavorings

and while it has been 20+ years, my concern is that it will end up doing much less than promised. But I can hope for more.

LLMs ingest tokens as input

This helps a lot! Thanks! It fits in well with your ball point pen comparison. I see why it scales poorly.

As for your second part, I really have nothing to say. I do not know much about investing, but your earlier comment said a lot about the societal side of things. Thanks for helping through this!

I have to admit that I do not understand most of what you said :(

But, I can see that (I think) you are saying that many people in South Korea invested in AI, and that is problematic. I do know that, as you said, LLMs are resource intensive and do not really work financially. If many people there invested in AI companies, I could see them also subscribing to them. I think.

My avoidance of AI has lead to me not knowing enough about it. I don't know what you mean by token... This is a common theme for me today! I won't be able to avoid this if I don't educate myself.

Believe what you like, but you’re throwing the baby out with the bath water on that one

I need more info, I may be misinformed and likely don't know all the things. I just remember hearing a lot of hullabaloo about it then. It seemed like it was supposed to be good for all three countries, and an agreement of sorts. I don't understand how this stuff now can be a thing beyond Trump being seemingly unchecked.

I don't know about the "manosphere," but I wouldn't be interested in a man, or woman, who smelled. I work in an outside hard-working job, it isn't that hard to shower and clean clothes. Except on overnight jobs, but then we all smell. Most folks are not looking for dates then. Nobody I am around would be, but maybe i am too old or just fortunate.

Taco Bell goes all in on AI order kiosks and drive through, people order 9999 waters

This also speaks a lot to the state of humanity. I may well be immature or uncreative, but if presented with an AI ordering interface, I would never think about this! I do deal with the public a great deal through the course of my job, and am frequently disappointed at the level of (my) perceived narcissism. Folks are butts.
