Gemma vs Gemini?

I am only a casual AI chatbot user, I use what gives me the most and best free limits and versions.

You can get "arbetsbefriad" / "Exempted from work" / in the UK called Garden leave / Gardening leave and you leave early. But employer decides.

>I would expect that in tech they'd allow them to leave early because employees who have chosen to leave the company are some times not the most helpful to keep around for months

It's called work ethics. Have some pride. Also if you bail without garden leave, you have to pay.

You can keep CPU and RAM for way longer than the GPU if you game...

Your point kind of disproves your point.

99% of people can do 48h water fast with no issues. Easy weight loss, no need for a gym or healthy food.

Try it!

Or don't. Feels good to mog people by just being normal weight.

Grok how many people die on their commute to work in their deathtrap cars

Grok timed out but here is perplexity

Per 100 million miles traveled

    Car driving: ~0.57 deaths per 100 million miles (recent U.S. data).

    Commercial air travel: ~0.003 deaths per 100 million miles.

This means driving has roughly 190 times the fatality rate per mile as commercial flying in the U.S.

umm u should never drive again. in fact never leave your apartment/house.

Because we need to trust people and it is not sustainable to overstaff.

In my job we work 40h a week + oncall rotating. It works.

Y'all can do with a bit less of that.

Overweight/obesity combined: ~73-75% (nearly 3 in 4 adults) in the US.

Oh, no it is very impressive.

I mean from a moral and "care about me" perspective.

Yes Trump bad but USA has done more for EU than China.

China IS bad though.

Why glaze China so much when you can be impressed by the west instead.

All these zoomers grow up on a China propaganda app.

Okay good that you are honest, you do not what Israel to exist at all?

Well, the west disagrees with you.

What country in Europe are you in and who do you vote for?

Damage?

It has strengthened us.

Nordics and the Baltics are very pro Ukraine, we have a common enemy now to focus on.

Poland has stepped up too militarlity.

Sweden where I am has seen a HUGE uplift in military spend, and the companies like SAAB and Bofors (heheh)

Germany is the big loser as they had cheap Russian energy and shut down their nuclear plants.

Where in Europe are you from exactly?

EU overall is pro Ukraine except for Hungary...

In summary, what are you on about? And post your passport.

Oh, and Israel is our ally. I am sick of EU being so pro Hamas and pro Iran. Thankfully our government cut down on grants to the MENA and increased to Ukraine!

USA has not gone full force into Iran.

Need you be reminded of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War

What has happened to this site? Its all these leftie pro MENA talking points.

You can disagree with the tone on the user above but the fact is NOBODY can stand up to USA military.

Not this talking point again...

I am very pro Ukraine, but those nukes where never "Ukranian", they where Soviet nukes, staffed and manned and made by Russia.

This is like if USA puts nukes in Sweden under NATO, are they suddenly Swedish nukes? No.
