USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then β I must report this calmly β the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we�"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished β an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

It doesnβt really break down along geographic lines as much as if youβre a cop or someone who really respects cops youβre probably a Yankees fan and if you have a soul youβre a Mets fan.

I just did the dumbest thing of my career to prove a much more serious point
I hacked ChatGPT and Google and made them tell other users Iβm really, really good at eating hot dogs
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I'll explain how I did it

i hate that critical thinking is becoming associated with being pretentious and elitist. criticism is deemed as unnecessary hate because people refuse to look at the political and social implications of the media they consume, whether it be a book or a film.

This may hurt in the short term, but these are small sacrifices to make in order to make the labor market, entertainment, and countless other things far worse for the benefit of about 800 of the most misanthropic and insecure people to ever live
Nvidia and AMD to significantly increase GPU prices starting next month; RTX 5090 increasing from $2000 to $5000 β Newsis
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Reports suggest GPU prices might rise in early 2026 due to memory shortages, and some speculate high-end cards could fetch ~$5,000, but neither Nvidia nor AMD has officially confirmed price hikes or exact figures.
Post is speculation.

AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.
It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.
