No bug can stop me

I’ve never had one so in fighting my first impressions. I’m sure you could talk me down to 100 dollars again.

But I don’t wanna sell myself too short if I keep telling people my bottom price when I could be getting a million.

Bugs one bite would be no issue for 1 million. Maybe even 100 dollars to be honest depends if I had a few beers in me and was at some kind of social event.

Onion would be fine, no qualms there. I would do it for 20.

Would prefer not to do the pepper but again I would do the pepper for 100 bucks in the right setting. I’ve had this exact scenario at a restaurant before when we had some drinks in us.

Wouldn’t do the egg. Would do it for a million but it would be the only one that would feel like a actual challenge.

You guys make friends with people online, as in individuals?

I always post online as if I’m talking to a community at large. Can’t even remember user names unless they’re so notorious enough they make themselves memorable.

Never felt like a thing where you go and make friends online. Maybe I’ve done something like that in gaming groups before but even then you keep it casual, and largely you’re just interacting with the group.

Maybe I’m just too stingy with my definition of friends, but online I don’t see people as friends just groups of small collective swarms of thought that I vibe with. Friends are tangible thing I could touch, not sexually though… maybe sometimes sexually but you get my point.

Gonna sell my extra ram to China out of spite.

I think we can realistically live in a happy medium with modern goodies. I do like apsects of analog and prefer it in many applications over digital. And its hard to say that in general because the first place my mind goes to is sensors for pi/esps, and your first thought is older analog tech. Analog sensors just seem more straight forward and it feels better to know you can just do shit without a computer in the way sometimes.

Like we sent people to the moon on kilobites of data, yet Microsoft windows needs 16 gigs of ram as a min req so copiolt can take screen shots every 30 seconds. Analog components just work on their own, require less power, and can just become its own system without a whole digital computer. Maybe instead of wifi bases lights and a whole home assistant server you just get a old fassion photoresistor and some clap sensors.

Its really as simple as just buying things that don’t need access to the internet or some dumb app just because the product costs less. I think in theory we could exist in a world where there’s a better happy medium where every devices doesn’t have to also be a android smart phone so that it can also spy on you and sell your data to ai and government.

But also at the same time I am stubborn enough where I will drag us down into the dark ages if it meant if the offer magically was presented to me. If you put two buttons infront of me I would press the dark ages button so fast.

These corporations give these ai companies their data too. Many of them pretend to protect sensative data but we all know that’s not true.

So it certainly doesn’t make you look trust worthy when you ask a company to hook your ai up to their entire data base, then suddenly a million little clones are made by individuals using the same ai program you run.

Was bound to happen eventually. They’re going to try to make open models illegal now.

My opinions are that its fine to make llm projects that threaten corporations who rely on saas. Doesn’t mean im going to use them or that they’re any good, but I want to see these companies who are firing all their employees and throwing all their money at ai to get scourned. Will build more distrust between the corpos too.

And just to be clear its okay when they steal literally the entire world’s knowledge base. But as soon as adobe and Microsoft see a 2% drop in profit all the sudden everyone’s a terrorist, or its the worst thing to happen ever. I hate ai but I’ll root for my enemy when he’s destroying one of my original enemies, can’t wait for these companies to burn. I’d go back to the stone ages if I knew elon, Sam Altmann, etc where all dead.

Become a old car enthusiasts. Mid 2000’s to 2013 was probably some of the best years in vehicles.

Going to save yourself a arm and a leg too fixing it yourself. Cost like 4 grand to get a electric windshield motor replaced these days on a modern car, when it should cost 50 dollars and a long afternoon for what should be a quick fix.

Only downside is you better have multiple cars. I’ve had to leave mine on the jacks for a day because I couldnt reach a bolt/nut or needed to get a different part because I broke a sensor. If you’re an idiot like me working off YouTube guides and Googling forum posts from nearly 20 years ago then you can’t start betting on your ability to finish the job on time.

At the end though you can feel proud and confident that you can fix it again next time. I haven’t gotten into anything too serious yet but i’ve replaced all the rubbers, changed all the fluids, done the cat converter, replaced all sensors, spark plugs, breaks, break pads, etc. Most I’ve spent on any given part was 600 for the 3 part cat converter. All the breaks where up there too but I did it in pairs. YouTube has everything you need, and I surprise myself given how dumb I am. Also helps to have a friend to ping things off of, especially if they have a car lift. The car lift changes everything and abuse that privledge as much as you can.
