Hey neighbor's neighbor! We're in AZ, I've been looking fondly over at NM for a bit.
Love visiting NM, except the mountain pass we have to go through to get there. Absolutely hate that part or we might get over more.

We moved here from a cold state many many moons ago and Phoenix had a lot to offer for jobs. Feel like we shoulda looked harder back then. To poor now to make another move but, we will if we gotta.

Right-Wingers Say Super Bowl Is Rigged So Taylor Swift Can Endorse Biden

Far-right influencer Rogan O’Handley went so far as to suggest that if the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, Swift and Kelce would trigger an apocalyptic chain of events that would kill millions. “You MUST defeat the Chiefs,” O’Handley wrote in an X post addressed to the San Francisco 49ers. “If you don’t, Mr. Pfizer and his girlfriend are going to tour the country as ‘world champions’ helping elect Joe Biden WW3 will likely follow in a 2nd Biden term and millions will die. The fate of the free world rests upon your shoulders”

Just wow. Only a tidbit of the crazy they are spouting in this article.

"In a battle or emergency, where the survival of the vessel (or other protected asset) is dependent upon the continued operation of the equipment, it is sometimes wiser to risk equipment damage than have the equipment shut down when it is needed. For example, the electrical drives to elevate and traverse the guns of a combat warship may have "battleshort" fuses, which are simply copper bars of the correct size to fit the fuse holders, as failure to return fire in a combat situation is a greater threat to the ship and crew than damaging or overheating the electrical motors."

Huh. Learn something all the time.

How am I supposed to go on?

Crazy how many folks can't scroll past something they aren't interested in. And not thoughtful critiques. Just whining really. Their delicate eyes witnessed it, thus they were compelled to come make a comment.

I don't think I'd ever find it appropriate to whine in the comments of a user's post, over a post breaking no rules. I have, and would... just scroll by.

I don't see "No Pizza Cake" in the rules... why would someone think it would just never show up?

McBride hosts a YouTube channel titled "Judgment Day With Joe McBride." He claims that someone attempted to assassinate him for his role representing January 6 defendants by remotely taking control of his 2020 BMW X5 M-Sport and attempting to cause him to crash at high speed. He additionally claims that in the aftermath of this assassination attempt, his 2020 BMW X5 M-Sport would only drive in reverse, and that he drove from the Fort McHenry Tunnel to Washington D.C. (approximately 39 miles) in reverse.[39]

He additionally claims that he simultaneously experienced Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, the Epstein-Barr virus, and long COVID after being vaccinated for COVID-19.[40]

"Suggested" Facebook Disinfo (Moon Landing Hoax Page)

I should be sleeping, instead I'm reverse image searching and found this on a related pic

The six-member Expedition 61 crew is gathered for a meal iss061e112462 (Dec. 31, 2019) --- The six-member Expedition 61 crew is gathered together inside the Zvezda service module for a New Year's Eve meal

Think if it was a hoax, you'd spend a lil more on your PR team to spread it around with a catchier story.

Vice City was my favorite one

We used to just leave a vehicle parked somewhere while we made dinner or did other stuff and let the radio play!

People sometimes would stop by and realize, after a bit of convo, they were hearing something and be baffled as to what the hell we were listening too.

I'm in my late 40's and going back to school via online courses. I about pulled what's left of my hair out going round and round with a professor that kept marking me off, with a note stating "You should not use chat or AI programs to do your work". The work that I wrote.
Had not even thought to use any; Im old and set in my ways already, have enough going on making sure I am using the right class programs needed and, this was a required side course, not really anything difficult to me yet (could have skipped it if my previous schooling hadn't been sooo far previous).

Took over a dozen emails back and forth with me begging her to tell me how she surmised my writing was done by anything other than myself. Offering to have a 1:1 video session where she could watch me write, offering to record myself and send it alongside my work, anything.
She finally responded that she goes online and has AI tell her if a submitted document was written by AI. Never would say which site(s) so that I could do my own pre-checking, nothing on our library site or course links and documents that referred one to use either.

So. That is how I started using AI and let various chat programs complete the remainder of that course for me. Since, for some unholy reason, the assignments done that way were no longer flagged for AI use.
This is also how I learned I despise this technology and that cunt who can go fuck off with her own AI loving, short cut using, bitch ass.
