We love you Stamets. Women want you, men want to be like you.

I’ve chatted with him before. I think he just likes posting.

Some people here have a really huge effect. Guys like Stamets, The Picard Maneuver, and MicroWave, I see their posts all the time.

I suggest you try soft or medium eggs.

How will you make the UV lights for your tanning station? /s

Interesting. I thought that since I completely wiped the disk and removed all bitlocker that it would be an issue. Didn’t think there would be some other place to store the CD key.

Been here more than 20 years and my whole department does it. The computers are unusable otherwise. If I were sitting in an office it wouldn’t be possible, but they have a BYOD policy which allows for this kind of use.

Yes fortunately I had the bios password, so I was able to manage it. I work remotely. To IT it just looks like the machine vanished. They haven’t asked me about it.

This was also on my work machine. I had to use some utilities to extract my windows key and change some stuff in the bios to disable bitlocker, so it was not a small job but it’s increased my productivity a lot.

I installed with a local windows 11 account using Rufus and I have no ads. Also went back to old taskbar using StartAllBack. It’s just a good old windows box again. Really works nicely.

I guess each leg qualifies as its own jean?

My use cases thus far have been pretty minimal. Stuff like OCR extraction of tables from images (which were possible before LLM’s), very occasional reformatting of lists and stuff, some of the built in summarization features which provide tiny value. I’ve never actually used them to write something for me. The one time I considered it I found something better already written.

A little dab’ll do ya.

You can listen to people try to convince you that Russia’s war is justified and that Tienamen Square never happened for a while if you want, then make up your mind and block them later ;-).
