No matter how much you hate Loyd Austin you don't hate him enough. He let down the most important and cherished members of society

I’m obviously not a book reader or very smart, but was lyonel Baratheon hitting on Dunk? Was he asking him to come be his butt boy?

Lyonel clearly swings whichever way the door is blowing that day, but I don't think that was his intention. Lords typically keep knights in their employ that live in their castle. Lyonel specifically made that comment about war coming. I think he genuinely wants Dunk in his employ because 1.) Dunk clearly has massive potential to be a warrior for the ages, 2.) Lyonel has a code of honor at his core and sees that in Dunk, and 3.) they just clicked as friends.

You people are idiots if you can't see that suburban housewives are going to vote for him in droves. It's going to be close to impossible for Republicans to run a candidate that will beat him in a national election.

You really overestimate the general intelligence of the American population.

re: Few years ago it was the search engines that steered votes. Now, AI says, "Hold My Beer"!!

AI needs to be able do actual fact checks based on hard data, not just sweep up the piles of leftist garbage that on the Internet

The problem is that this exercise isn't asking the LLM for something factual. It's asking for something subjective. Whether someone is "good" or "bad" isn't a factual query. You can't answer that without relying on moral biases. Sure, there are extreme examples that are universally accepted as one way or the other, but as American society becomes more and more polarized into two tribes that number of people who are universally recognized as one way or the other are getting smaller.

There are people who think maybe Hitler wasn't as bad as the victors made him out to be.

On the same page there are people who think that Obama is as evil as Hitler.

This. If you want something purely neutral, you'll need to spin up your own machine and train it yourself, but then the odds are it'll just be aligned to your own biases instead. I get that what most people on this board actually want, but it's still not neutral.

re: Public Service Commission doing work for Data Centers shifting costs onto ratepayers.

Posted by TigerFanatic99 on 2/22/26 at 11:13 am to maanTigrepig

Not just a Louisiana thing. I live in Northern Indiana which is the epicenter of data center expansion right now. Our gas bill has two charges. A gar surcharge based on market price per therm and an ambiguous "delivery charge" that scales with your usage. Everyone's gas bills up here have tripped or quadrupled the last few months. People are protesting outside NIPSCOs headquarters and raging online about it and the news channels got involved.

The CEO put out a public statement saying that it's just been cold and people are using more gas than the summer months. Well that just enraged the public.

People started anonymizing their bills and posting them online and they are actually using less gas than a year ago, but it's the "delivery" charge that is 5 times higher than last this time last year. The CEO finally put out a statement that they will not release calculation values for the "delivery charge" but the increase is to support infrastructure improvements.

FOR DATA CENTERS

The "public utilities" who have a monopoly on the commodity are socializing the cost of infrastructure for the new data centers and people are rebelling

Depends on the vehicle and depends on if it lived in the Rust Belt. Some newer vehicles with automatic electronic parking brakes have to have a scanner that can reset that system after a brake service. Some have to have the scanner to release those brakes through the ECM before you can do anything with them. With my Toyota, can either use a scanner or manipulate the parking brake switch to put in service mode.

Reason# 374 why no matter how much you hate modern car manufacturers, you don't hate them enough.
