Things! And Stuff! I mean really, what were you expecting? An Illuminati code or something? Oh, and 1374758 by the way.
They are *allowed* to but it's not something easily done in practice. Legal Eagle did a great breakdown of the legalese of it here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DTwPLqGkYnBA&ved=2ahUKEwjJt6Ts7KuPAxUVFVkFHW7XHiUQFnoECCMQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3HWhtG5ulHERrHZvuhDkA5Tl;dw It comes down to, simply, if it's obviously illegal. But if there's even a slim chance of it being legal it's a huge risk to the individual
As much as I don't agree with supporting Ubers corporate goals, more automated driving would actually make mass transit easier to justify, as the last mile problem of mass transit could be addressed and automated driving's inherent weakness to long distance transportation would incentivize transport like trains
Uironically that is the age range where people were raised and educated with the hopes and expectations of the 80's and 90's and now we have the previous generation doing a complete 180 and giving us shit for doing the exact thing we were told would be successful.Of course people are in a bad place. It's so hard to find a reason to think things will get better. Personally I'm stubborn as shit and refuse to believe things can't get better, but that doesn't work for everyone.
I know it's a *lot* easier said than done but don't let yourself run away with the hypotheticals. I'm very high risk for colon cancer myself (family history and such) so I can tell you colon cancer is rarely the end. Still **sucks** of course but work with what information you have, you've got this.
It's a very advanced automatic librarian. You query it for something and it has a good chance of finding something *relevant*. Sometimes even what you're looking for. But that's as far as it goes. Like a really advanced Golden Retriever. It plays fetch with information, and sometimes it'll bring a dead skunk instead a stick.
Speaking as a Christian, yes. Please do. Fuck em.
Because some people want X thing, and those others have it. So it's easier to tell themselves those others aren't worth caring about.
That's car affirming care
Easiest way to explain it: Due to lens' law non ferrous but conductive metals can uno reverse card magnetic fields if they're moving.This is the same kind of effect that most maglev trains use on the 'rail' portion. Just use spinning aluminum discs instead of electromagnets every couple meters. Much cheaper.
I sympathize. Had severe gas to the point I thought I was having a heart attack several urgent care visits later found out it was an H Pylori Bacterial gut infection. All better now, except I'm now high risk for colon cancer!Colonoscopies at 32, yaaaaaaaaay......
Nah specifically being punished *for being a Nazi*. Not a 'normal' villain who also happened to be a Nazi.
Like....you joke....but
Iirc it was solely because that character did not get away with it and was severely punished for being a Nazi.
I think I know what you mean. It's not something you look forward to but it gives you something solid to work from in the worst case. That kind of anchoring is really important for keeping yourself together when everything else feels like it's falling apart.
Agreed 1000%. Especially that while it's the biggest issue it's not a new issue. A lot of it stems from several generations of no education on civic and government.I was an absolute *shit* student in regards to history. Hated every second. If *I* can suck it up and bring realistic expectations to our systems of governance than anyone can.
If you can, please look into either separate storage (some ranges do this) or having a family member you trust hold onto your handgun if that's the case. That way you can get it if things get dicey but you won't have immediate access to it if you spiral.A number of my friends have the exact same concern and have looked into similar solutions.
Yeah there's a definite argument that uncapped capitalism is antithetical to a democracy in actual execution.
Funny thing is that this is how democracy is supposed to work. An unwlected individual arguably shouldn't be able to directly affect large swathes of the government. You can't expect yourself to be able to 'fix' these large systemic issues all at once. Proper representation and political pressure stems from grassroots permeation of local areas. Aka everyone's is chasing government change top to bottom, whereas actual change is bottom to top. It's how assholes like Mitch Mconnel got so much power
Hey a fellow Stellaris player in the wild! I never thought about EE being intentionally disorganized but that does make more sense. Even people ahead of you in tech will just stop bothering to steal tech from you, lol
Same. Same.
Nah people, myself included, are absolutely that dumb. But people are dumb in different ways, and when it comes to self preservation from immediate dangers most people are actually ok in the intelligence department. Now non-immeriate dangers? Eeeeeeeeeeh
Honestly mute notifications if you can. Seems like a small thing but it turns the dynamic into you looking at the chat when you want to instead of it demanding attention. Huge improvement imho
God I got the game on sale and it was utter trash. Pretty much "here's a scene from the movie, move around a bit". There was an idea of combat. Probably ~2 hours of play at best. Even on sale it wasn't anywhere worth the price
This isn't the first time in history we've dealt with this flavor of shit and progress was made. It sucks right now, no question but things are better. We're feeling 1 step back from 2 steps forward and while it is --infuriating-- to live during that regression we can keep fighting to get back on track.
Like what's even the point of doing that? I realize it's probably some unknowable enigma of stupidity but for the life of me I can only think it's some kind of combination of beer and pride to not let the "slow truck" pass you. But then you let all the other traffic pass you.....I don't get it
I think it's more that as one gets older one tends to get less idealistic. Exceptions abound of course, but being more aware and realistic with the options we actually have isn't conservative as far as it's just not as far as some people would like (in either direction)
I mostly agree. LLM's are still good at parsing language for the sake of finding associated language. Using an LLM like a librarian to find additional material on a subject or where to begin on learning something you can't easily describe is useful imho. But by that same token you wouldn't ask the actual librarian how to do those specific things.
Good people. Whether they're Christian or not shouldn't actually be a factor if they're a good person or not. You're not inherently a good or bad person because of your faith. You're a good person based on your own actions
