Stupid wasteful consumer society...

Artificial Intelligence
I wonder if the Trump administration would actually pursue a policy where they try to limit the latest models to American citizens. It would probably be too disruptive (and tech industry which has influence with Trump would push back strongly) but I see some Trump supporters already talking about this on social media.
- You know this is the way Trump himself has got to be thinking...why should we give it to the rest of the world?yuekit
- That would certainly guarantee an AI "bubble burst". And his beloved stock market crashing.NBQ00
- including foreign nationals on US soil is the lol - how the fuck would anthropic enforce that. but it would not surprise me if this was all planned.kingsteven
- Theoretically you could have some kind of signup policy similar to crypto sites. But you definitely can't enforce API usage.yuekit
- I feel like this should be above any administration itself.monospaced
- You wonder that he might limit poorer people than he to make money?Nairn

Show some recent work
Built a horn loaded, battery powered bluetooth speaker, inspired by https://www.jwsound.live/ and based on his 3D model of the horn and instructions. Developed into quite a time sink but the build was a lot of fun! Sounds decent already, just needs a bit of fine tuning of the sound processor.

I'm now wondering at how the structure of the 3d print may or may not affect the sound. So cool, James!Nairn - badassBonSeff

Watching folks age and losing love for life and the things they were once very passionate about (to the point they couldn't shut up about it) is heartbreaking... :(
Talk my fucking ear off again... please. <3
- I see this in myself. I spent decades music-obsessed and now...? I barely listen to it.
Need to fix this, massively. If only because I can't have my kid...Nairn - ...grow up in a house without song.
I don't know what happened.
But it did. And I hate it.Nairn - Same with fiction. Used to work in a bookshop, haven't read a novel in years. Just writing that is painful.Fax_Benson

2026 World Cup
Good lord, our midfield is shambolic.
- We’ll take the draw I guess but we need a much better effort next two games :\_niko
- A point's a point. But holy shit, we really, really need to start converting open-play chances, or else this is going nowhere.Continuity
- Dominated possession with barely anything to show for it.Continuity
- I'm pretty sure Marsh is falling into the same trap Herdman did: pack the bench on feel and vibes, and not on what's going to win a match.Continuity
- Marsch is a bellend. He managed Leeds United and would spout so much shit after every game, like he had no idea what he was on about. Good luck!!Ianbolton
- Herdman wasn't much better, sadly. He ran his mouth during WC22, it was really cringe.Continuity
- @ianbolton yep Marsch is/was a knobheadMrT

- Upvote! So good. I like how each ep is a few days apart. Adds to the overall ambiance of the town and the peoplemisterhow

Indie Film Shooting In N.M.
thought you all might like an update here, we premiered at Tribeca on Sunday and the reviews are incredible so far. We are waiting to hear on distribution but so far so good!
great responses on letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/film/the-…
and an article on Indiewire featuring our director
https://www.indiewire.com/featur…- Congrats! Worked for them once upon a time. Would not recommend, lol...duckseason

- IF folks haven't had a go @ Dave The Diver, here's some incentive.
It MAY have been game of the year for me when it came out.
So.
Much.
Fun.ideaist - I liked the pixel art visual style, but it became a bit too much busywork for me.Nutter
- same. very funny characters and dialog but the game itself was a chorekingsteven
- I really enjoyed DTD. Agree on the chore comments, but also found it weirdly cathartic. Was a bit bummed when I saw the Bancho spinoff was all cooking.duckseason
- I can't say anything new here. It's a charming game, but when you get OP and have your routines dialed, it is Errands: The Game. Still highly recommended.garbage
- You guys are washwomen.
Lolz.ideaist - lol, this is actually the first time i've read others didn't love it. i did play 10 hours though :)kingsteven
- prefered DTD to the other 'Overwhelmingly Positive' low poly fishing game from the same time - Dredge. obvs not my genre lolkingsteven
- @idealy Hey I didn't say I didn't like it! The orginal just becomes Animal Crossing when the sea isn't scary anymore. I'll cop this one on a sale.garbage

...hans_glib - chatgpt says
loaded nachos
buffalo chicken wings
pulled pork sliders
Fried Mac & Cheese Balls
&c...hans_glib - but ai is shit and has no idea.
the real answer is home made sausage rolls. get some quality sausage, skin them, caramelise a load of onions...hans_glib - ... (take your time to get them dark and sticky without burning), mix into sausage meat, roll out puff pastry thinly, make big fat rolls...hans_glib
- brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with nigella seeds, bake.
while they're cooking, make up a chilli jam to dunk them in.hans_glib - Tarte soleil, dipped in poutine sauce.palimpsest

- Is that Government cheese?utopian
- @Nairn that sounds absolutely delightful, and I hate your fucking guts for all the wagyu you seem to have easy access to. xContinuity
- That's the meltiest meltable cheese that will literally melt in 10 secs... and you didn't melt it?!! :) :) Melt that cheese, my friend!!!! Melt Melt Melt!! <3PonyBoy
- @cont - eh, they're cheapie supermarket 'wagyu' burgers, but they are grass-fed and they are quite fatty, so the cook delightfully when hard-seared/smashed.Nairn
- I forgot to add - I've been going all 'Korean omelette sandwich' with my burgers and throwing in loads of fine-sliced sweet cabbage. So fucking good.Nairn
- I think I'm done with lettuce in that sort of context. So much taste and bite with cabbage.Nairn
- Anyway, what exactly is 'long chicken', if 'long pig' is human meat?!Nairn
- @utopian - Continuity's the only person I've known to actually make 'American cheese' from scratch. I've still got to do it myself one day.Nairn
- I ate an entire pack of Mature Gouda the other day (felt terrible after, thanks for asking), and I was wondering how that would convert to American Cheese.Nairn
- @Nairn I was actually thinking of swapping out the lettuce for my beloved pointed cabbage in these sandwiches. I'm going to try that next time.Continuity
- Also, Long Chicken is a BK thing.Continuity
- And I think Gouda, especially mature, would be phenomenal for American Cheese. Damn. Now I need to try it.Continuity
- lol Pony! I know. Unfortunately, draining fry oil from them on the rack cooled those things down fast.Continuity

2026 World Cup
Somali referee dropped from World Cup after refused entry at US border
https://www.lemonde.fr/en/sports…
"The US Customs and Border Protection said Omar Artan was denied entry due to 'vetting concerns.' Somalia is one of several countries on a travel ban list introduced by Trump's administration as part of a broader immigration crackdown. FIFA said it was powerless over the decision and confirmed Artan would play no part in the World Cup."- Country started by immigrants.
Immigrant not allowed to enter country.ideaist - how is he an immigrant? was he going to stay there?rzu-rzu

- Lolz; I feel bad for the dude.ideaist
- That's awful. How much of a lifelong dream must it be for him to referee at a world cup. CuntsIanbolton
- These antiquated policies are such a disgrace to what 21st century America once was.canoe
- So stupid. Goes over for 4 weeks to officiate the biggest event on the planet and he's sent home for being foreign.HAYZ1LLLA
- I don't think that being foreign was the deciding factor here, otherwise the other refs from Africa etc. would not get in, he must've done something sillyrzu-rzu
