Someone has created a ChatGPT app for Windows 3.1 PCs. WinGPT brings a very basic version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT responses into an app that can run on an ancient 386 chip. It’s built by the same mysterious developer behind Windle, a Wordle clone for Microsoft’s Windows 3.1 operating system. “I didn’t want my Gateway 4DX2-66 from 1993 to be left out of the AI revolution, so I built an AI Assistant for Windows 3.1, based on the OpenAI API,” says the developer in a Hacker News thread. WinGPT is written in C using Microsoft’s standard Windows API and connects to...

Donald Trump rape accuser E. Jean Carroll has a bizarre Facebook post history that sheds light on some of her more personal thoughts and questions. Much of her commentary appears obsessed with sex, violence, and pornography, with one post from 2012 discussing sex with Donald Trump in a jovial fashion. Carroll, 79, first alleged that she was raped by Trump in a book released in 2019. Her story is extremely similar to the sub plot of a Law and Order episode which aired in late 2012, a few months after she posted a sex question about Trump to her Facebook...

One of the iron rules of wokeism that corporations and CEOs have absorbed is this: You never turn your back on the LGBTQ. No matter the backlash, no matter the criticism, if you embrace a transgender influencer or gay advocate or someone similar, you have to stick with them no matter what they throw at you. It's just part of the game now. So this is really quite incredible, and underscores the success of the Bud Light boycott: Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris addressed the Bud Light controversy on an earnings call with investors Thursday, downplaying the brand's partnership with transgender...

America's top-selling beer giant has seen a $5 billion market value decrease since airing the campaign. In wake of the highly publicized Dylan Mulvaney controversy, Anheuser-Busch announced that they will be giving away free beer to vendors in an attempt to make amends after partnering with the controversial trans-identified social media influencer which cost the beer giant billions of dollars in revenue. In April, Bud Light sent a personalized can to Dylan Mulvaney in celebration of "365 Days of Girlhood", which signified that Mulvaney, an adult male, has identified as a "girl" for an entire year. According to St. Louis...

NORTH CONWAY. N.H.—Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t making much of a dent in the polls yet, but judging from the audience reaction at a packed Masonic lodge in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, it won’t be long. Everyone was paying close attention. There was no sense in the room of skepticism over why this 37-year-old guy—out of nowhere and standing there with his doctor wife—had the temerity to run for president. They got it. He had done his homework and then some. Several people during the lengthy question session prefaced theirs with “I voted for Trump but I’m going to vote for you.” Others...

Donald Trump has called for protests for his impending arrest by fanatical zealot prosecutors in New York, even though many people have said the prosecutors have no case, and even though this unprecedented act has more in common with corrupt Latin-American governments than it does with the America I once knew. I've seen a lot of people who are not willing to protest this heinous act, because they have successfully been intimidated by the FBI locating and prosecuting certain January 6 protestors. Their attempted intimidation should dissuade us, or even slow us down. Remember, they simply cannot arrest us all....

Snow leopards, or "ghosts of the mountains" as they are known in some parts of the world, have earned an almost mythical status for their stealthiness and camouflage skills. The big cats are so perfectly adapted to their harsh mountainous habitat that even spotting them against a rocky backdrop can be near impossible. However, dramatic footage that recently surfaced from India’s Himalayas reveals that even these most elusive cats occasionally show themselves (and sometimes even put on a spectacular hunting display).

Larry Flynt, considered by some to be the penultimate pornographer and defender of first amendment free speech rights, is revered by many Americans both alt and mainstream. But they didn’t know Larry like Julie Moya, one of his ex-employees who stripped at his club! At age 15 — and living in a home for wayward youth — Julie alleges that a fellow resident offered to bring her to the club where the girl herself was working so Julie could earn a few dollars. Yes, Jools was only 15. But she was a fully-developed and very pretty natural blond. Mr. Flynt...

“Mixed with sugar, the beetles supposedly taste just like real meat. They could also become alternatives to sausages or chicken nuggets.” PARIS — Beetleburgers could soon be helping to feed the world, according to new research. The creepy crawlers’ larvae — better known as mealworms — could act as a meat alternative to alleviate hunger worldwide. The process uses a fraction of the land and water and emits a smaller carbon footprint in comparison of traditional farming. To make this a reality, French biotech company Ynsect is planning a global network of insect farms, including nurseries and slaughterhouses. A pilot...

I Truly Miss Our Tobacco Smoking Culture . The paraphernalia. The rituals. The camaraderie. The cigarettes and cigars and pipes. The rituals. The coffee and cigarettes. The pipe and brandy. The smoky jazz clubs. . It was an age. In retrospect it added texture to our lives.

Russia has put forward a highly contentious list of security guarantees it says it wants the west to agree to in order to lower tensions in Europe and defuse the crisis over Ukraine, including many elements that have already been ruled out. ...The demands, spelled out by Moscow in full for the first time, were handed over to the US this week. They include a demand that Nato remove any troops or weapons deployed to countries that entered the alliance after 1997, which would include much of eastern Europe, including Poland, the former Soviet countries of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, and...

On a clear August morning in southeastern Pennsylvania, more than a dozen adults and children stood in a park pavilion, listening to mealworms sizzling in a hot pan. They were learning about entomophagy — the human consumption of insects — from Lisa Sanchez, a naturalist with the Lancaster County Department of Parks and Recreation, who has taught the practice for 25 years. Suddenly, one mealworm sputtered out of the pan. Six-year-old Adaline Welk — without prompting — popped it into her mouth. The crowd cheered for the newly minted entomophagist. “It’s not that bad!” she exclaimed. “It kind of tastes...

The Biden administration's non-binary nuclear waste guru was a presenter at a fetish conference in LA, weeks after admitting stealing a woman's suitcase at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Last Saturday, Sam Brinton, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, who could be facing five years in prison for the bag theft, presented a seminar titled: 'Spanking: From Calculus To Chemistry.' The seminar was held at Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in Los Angeles, where Brinton, 34, stayed on Friday and Saturday night.

In the Sunshine State, the voting is easy and the results are quick.The day after the 2020 general election, Florida governor Ron DeSantis crowed about his state’s performance. While vote-counting in other states was slow going and the results in several key races were still in doubt, Florida’s elections had seemingly gone off without a hitch. Of course, it wasn’t always that way. Two decades earlier, Florida had become the national poster child for mismanaged elections. In the razor-thin race between George W. Bush and Al Gore, images of Florida vote-counters with magnifying glasses eyeing so-called pregnant, dimpled, and hanging...
