I grew up reading the far side and was disappointed to discover (many years ago) it was no longer being written. There was always a certain enlightenment about a mundane situation, or humorous "what if" world that drew attention to the absurd.

I'm so glad to have found SMBC, where a similar spirit lives on.

I know SMBC isn't the far side, they each have their own distinct style and outward appearance. Like a toad.

That's just licenses to prevent use in training data, but other LLM related use is unspecified.

I just happened to create a "sea" Playlist, mostly consisting of Barrett's Privateers. Thoughts on the flavors:

• Stan Rogers. Og version. Actually one of my favorite.
• The Wellermen. Good variety. Changing vocalists and drums add a lot.
• Kingston Trio. Classic folk band, acapella, I think this is the only other variant I've heard that matches the original lyrics. Would recommend.
• Jonathan Young. Metal version. I really want to like this, but it is simultaneously both too metal and not metal enough.
• The Real McKenzies. Love the fast tempo, but I find the change in lyrics extremely annoying.
• The McCalmans. Change in tempo and change in tune make this unenjoyable.
• Gustavo Steiner. Sad guy on a guitar. If that's your thing you might enjoy this, otherwise, no.

Hopefully you don't live near any neighbors or open hotspots.

Hmm, should I vote for an anti-trans Democrat that's going to support democrat majority and generally not going to support the nosedive into fascism,

Or should I vote for the republican that definitely wants trans people dead. And fascism. And definitely less worker protections.

This is such a tough choice.

Thank you, I could barely follow that

But this is America, where you must be punished for being poor.

You're right, it's not Hegseths fault. It's his fault + all the Republicans enabling the destruction of america + all of the dumbest people in charge, who's only qualifying feature is making Trump richer.

The paperwork bill for generating all the paperwork. The admin bill, to review the paperwork. The convenience surcharge, for the cost of generating paperwork.

Judging by the most highly voted answers on physics.stackexchange, it's also true.

After the 3rd or so warning about EoL and not being "allowed" to install windows 11, I went back to Debian. I'm not going through the trouble of switching again any time soon.

I watched the whole speech. It's about 15 minutes long but really good. About the best I could have hoped for from a political America 250 speech.

It's the best kind of patriotic speech, talking about the things that make America great (diversity and community and opportunity) and acknowledging faults past and present. And throwing shade at Trump and white nationalists.
