Fun fact: Senator Van Hollen was born in Pakistan.
@newsguyusa Remember the olde days when the GOP were complaining that Obama was not born in the US (Hawaii, a U.S. state), but forgetting that McCain was born in Panama (albeit at a US military base)?

What if Microsoft took a day off and everyone realized they were better off without them?
The light traces the same path as the whispers reflected across the room
And in tech news,
@angelo I still haven't given text-to-speech a try, I keep typing all my conversations with AI 🙈. But I wonder if I should at least try.
What has been your experience? Is text-to-speech a lot better than typing? Or you only use it sometimes?
@noeldemartin Since Myna nearly every prompt is via voice. Typing just feels slow. Not sure if it is a good idea though, since my typing speed and accuracy already decreased. And I am still doing lot of coding by hand, at least in OSS.

Outlook* is down, so instead of reading my email, I made this.
*I do not use outlook by choice.
The thing about the AI bubble, is that there would be a MUCH softer landing if we actually sold some of this crap to China on the way down.
Instead the American 401k and pension programs are going to take the hit.
The elites have already insider traded away significant value and the few late movers are slipping out with the bag every trading session while the government points fingers about who leaked to the press and can't tell a spy from their ass.
Not investment advice but I can't help but notice the fabulous paper wealth of Nvidia employees (which is truly remarkable) places this kinda on the edge of a full blown shitshow.
Now this 50% stat has some caveats but either way that is a lot of potential sell pressure if they get spooked.

Here's an intriguing idea for a tech regulation;
An online platform that hosts self-publishing has to either;
1) Provide a server API a third-party app can use to post on their service
OR
* Provide a client API that allows their app to push a post to other services, either directly or via third-party apps
(Both is fine too, of course 😁)
If they don't do one or the other, they're not an infrastructure vendor, they're a publisher, and liable as one.

Let me preface by saying tooth pain is by far the most excruciating that I have ever experienced. A dental infection is sheer agony. I remember one occasion where weed, ibuprofen, tylenol, and an old lortab combined still couldn't take the edge off. I nearly went to the ER for it.
I'm still sort of reeling from my partner's appointment with the oral surgeon on Tuesday.
They performed a CT scan, shortly after right there on the 65" monitor was a 3D image of my partner's skull.
I felt stunned when I saw it. He only has five teeth left.
He had managed to conceal it so well that I had no idea he's been getting by with so few teeth. I'm only missing three or four myself and am already starting to encounter situations where I have difficulty eating.
What made me struggle to keep composure at that moment was the realization that to my knowledge, he'd only had a couple of teeth extracted; which means he likely just.. suffered through the process of 20+ teeth falling out on their own.
And because he spent nearly a decade being brainwashed into believing he was human garbage, I'd bet money that he was convinced that he *deserved* to suffer like that.
On top of this, my partner really struggles with swallowing pills.
Which means he probably endured losing most of those teeth without any painkillers.
One of the sweetest, most amazing people I've ever met in my life experienced the same pain that I described at the beginning of this novella as the worst I've ever lived through... over and over and over again.
I just kept thinking about how much pain I've experienced due to neglecting my own oral health, and that he probably experienced magnitudes more suffering than I did, all while completely convinced that he deserved to be punished like this.
No wonder he's psychologically fragile.
The only person on the face of the earth who can tolerate me as my 100% authentic self *all the time*, who taught me that it's okay to be the "real me", has survived so much to get to where he is now that I can't even comprehend it.
None of this is his fault. He was so abused and manipulated that he genuinely believed he didn't deserve to be healthy. The fault lies in the trauma he tragically experienced, and the abuser who tried to destroy him.
I believe if anyone deserves a healthy set of teeth (artificial or not), it's my partner. Teeth that will stay in place comfortably and also allow him to taste his food.
I'm extremely worried we won't be able to get him dentures before the bone loss becomes so great they can't make it work.
Goddammit I need to figure out how to make this happen quickly.
