Comment Tempest in a coffee pot? (Score 1) 49

I despise McDonald's, I despise advertisers, and I'm very wary and mistrustful of so-called AI. That said, when I watched the commercial I laughed. I thought there were some clever bits, and I'd watch it again.

I wonder if the negative response is akin to that of an otherwise-healthy immune system that has been faced with too many dire challenges in a short period of time and is over-reacting a bit. In this case that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Nuclear Fission isn't cost effective ... _unless_ you price in the full eco-balance of electricity production. Then the numbers look significantly different and fission could just be a real thing once again. At least until renewables and energy storage have gained significant portions of the energy mix.

No. This is nonsense. Nuclear fuel production has a massive ecological impact. Nuclear only looks good when compared to coal. Stop doing that.

The office I work in has a bunch of people with more money than sense. The guy sitting next to me hung up a GoFundMe QR code for veterinary bills at his cubicle and got 2 grand dropped in it before I quit counting.

I was able to confirm he really does have a dog, but I think the extent of the injuries and ongoing nature of the surgeries was getting puffed up.

You can thank student loans for that. Earlier generations got their schooling subsidized, but now people have to get loans to pay for it themselves instead. Colleges therefore could raise tuition. Then a bipartisan effort in Congress was launched to make sure we couldn't discharge those loans through bankruptcy like you can gambling or other personal debts, which was led by Joseph R Biden. I think we know how that turned out, forgiveness for a few of the worst abused players, and blaming inability to keep his campaign promises related to partial forgiveness for all buyers blamed on Congress while he went around them to fund genocide in Gaza.
