Post Race!

If anyone is buying tickets, let me know. I've got some Hawk coin they might be interested in. Definitely going to the moon.

[dday9]

I hope people don't fall for it, but at the same time there's the old saying: fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

[dday9]

There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee. That says, fool me once, shame on..........shame on you. Fool me.......... you can't get fooled again.

I wish I knew whether it was real. The last one was a hoot.

[Shaggy Hiker]

The thing is, when everything goes off as planned, that's not as interesting. Yes, it could be a terrific achievement, but a fiasco tends to be legendary. Was a movie made about any moon mission other than Apollo 13, the one that went wrong?

[dday9]

Everyone knows that the earth is actually a 2-dimensional line, and the moon is fake anyways.

[dday9]

Those so called "flat earthers" make too many assumptions that we even live in a 3-dimensional world. They're clearly wrong.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I thought the moon was cheese? Wallace and Grommet confirmed it, though they couldn't quite identify the type.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Oops, I got Gromit wrong. It was a wholly unintentional mistake. I'm sure he's fit to be tied, with a name like that.

Here's a reference for those who were wondering:

This one just came on a german radio station

Chuck Norris doesn’t ask ChatGPT
ChatGPT asks Chuck Norris

[Shaggy Hiker]

That would explain the hallucinations.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Lots of racing threads, of late, but one thread will rule them all, and in the forums bind them.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Rings don't bind all that well. Threads bind.

[Zvoni]

One Thread to rule them all, One Search-Function to find them,
One Thread to bring them all, and to the Forum bind them,
in the Lands of Trump, where the FakeNews lie (OK, i admit i improvised that one )

[Shaggy Hiker]

Might as well, these days.

My door neighbour's one of the writers for Aardman. Coolest job evah!!!!

[Shaggy Hiker]

What's a door neighbor?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Sounds like 'ard verk, to me.

[FunkyDexter]

That was supposed to read Nextdoor Neighbour. I was obviously drunk when I posted it.

The shoulder season is upon us. I've been up cross country skiing in the mountains twice in the last few days, and both times it was mediocre to bad. We're getting more snow, but is it worth going skiing, or should I just call it quits for the year? I'm pretty sure that today would be bad, but tomorrow might be okay. Certainly by next week it will be over.

It's such an indecisive time. It's warm, it's cold, it snows, it rains...and that's just today.

[dday9]

We had those terrible thunderstorms pass through. Thankfully I'm so far south that we barely got the tail end of it, but the Northshore got hammered from what I watched on the news. Other than that, it's been beautiful here. Mid-60s with low 70 highs and low-60 lows. The sun is out pretty much all day. I have nothing to complain about.

[Shaggy Hiker]

We don't get those storms. The weather patterns that create the big midwestern tornadoes (we're number 1 in tornadoes) are all south and east of Idaho.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I thought we were in the lead for lightning, as well, but I was remembering that Florida had the highest lighting strike density in the country. Florida isn't all that high in the standings world wide.

[wes4dbt]

We're having a thunderstorm right now. lol

[Shaggy Hiker]

There might have been one south of me on my drive home. I only got light rain.

Moti finally wrote about VBForums, besides other places, saying it's a coordinated attack by elites at OpenAI and Google, to suppress his work. Members here are paid trolls to silence him and his imaginary team, so his simple chatbot, which he laughably labels as an AGI, never goes mainstream.

He used one of his alternate personalities, Owly, to write about Moti Barski "the project’s creator". I'm guessing he forgot that his Owly profile on that site states he's his chatbot's project manager.

[Shaggy Hiker]

One of the fun things about Moti is that he can't keep track of his different persona. At one point on his old forum, he asked a question as one person, answered it as a different person, then got into a conversation between the two. Within just a couple messages, he switched roles.

[FunkyDexter]

Ooh, did I get a mention?

It was funny how he pretended to be some kid here, NTShpikho, who happened to discover his chatbot, which later morphed into himself in some fantasy world with all of his personas.

[Peter Porter]

No names. Just that we're all paid trolls to harrass him.

[wes4dbt]

where's my money!!!!!

[Peter Porter]

where's my money!!!!!

WT-fudge! You didn't get paid?

The elitists filled my wallet with Bitcoins. I'm almost a millionaire!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, I got my bit o coin...though not from here, necessarily.

It's nice that he still thinks of us.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Perhaps he has decided that Funky isn't real, or that we're all the same person. The latter seems more fitting for him, considering that's how he lives. He may have decided we are one person.

[Zvoni]

to quote Monthy Python: And now for something completely different.....

Background: Today we have to do a stock inventory at a customer of ours.

Our "merchandise" is stored in bins, which each one has a label with a 1D-Barcode, numeric content

Just got a phone-call....
User: "Zvoni, we can't do the Inventory. Something's wrong with the Scanner and/or Laptop"
Me: "Why? What's happend?"
User: "Each Barcode i scan i get hieroglyphs!""
Me: "Say again? What do those hieroglyphs look like?"
User (spelling it): "$$%&§$%%())(/"
Me (my eyes looking at my Keyboard, and noticing all mentioned Characters being in the top row of the keyboard): "Uh? By any chance: Is your CAPS-LOCK on?"
User: "Wait a second..... OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME..."$§%%§&"% (unprintable exclamation in polite company)"

Me: *facepalm*

Yeah, right... he got the embarrassement in front of the customer....

[FunkyDexter]

Funky isn't real

I sometimes wonder myself

[dday9]

"Like, you're not real, man."
