    I got the largest metal map and created a basically impenetrable base, and then left the game running overnight. It turned into a huge battle between the highest level of units and…

    TA is my most favorite game of all time. I bought it on Steam and got all the modern Escalation mods. I will spin it up every 6 months or so and play a new game just for fun, I jus…

    As someone that has pretty powerful desktop that I've been using with local open weight models, people are far exaggerating the quality of them. Some of them are now useful. They d…

    If I were a trillionaire like Elon Musk, Bill Watterson would be one of those people I would anonymous gift enough money so that the rest of their lives would be comfortable. We ne…

    LinkedIn is a cesspool of scams now. They know there's a high degree of fraud and they don't do anything about it. They don't care. I've gotten tricked into sending my resume and t…

    There is a lawsuit against xAI about those datacenters. They have a strong case that Musk is clearly flouting environmental laws. If they are able to get a preliminary injunction a…

    I have gotten so many fake recruiter contacts, it's not funny. At this point I don't know who is real and who is fake. I talked to real recruiters at Big Tech companies and they sa…

    That's where the scam is. They sell to their pension fund and mutual fund buddies, and in return when they get a really good deal, those funds will be first in line. It's a scratch…
