It's very easy to see that it was a scam in retrospect. It was also easy to see it at the time, but it's easy in retrospect too.

Put it over the bowl and THEN use the box to cut it.

Close the box, hold it firmly with the blade facing away from your pulling hand. Pull the paper from the middle, against the blade, with slightly more pressure on the side away from you.

I've met plenty. Kindness, generosity and care are not driven by shame, but by love.

LLMs aren't really displacing manufacturing jobs though?

Yes. Also it's 600% of the original cost

There's a food guy on YouTube who sometimes makes videos ripping on other people ripping on other people. They are pretty great.

Nursing is one of few professions where a multi-day strike is worth being hesitant about. But yeah, bring on a longer general strike

Anything that automates choices, yes. A thermostat is probably borderline, because the choices are so simple. A pitching machine makes not choices.

This is correct, dunno why you're getting down voted. Also, it's only generative AI being used to make capitalists richer that's the real problem. There are lots of useful purposes for AI (e.g. many parts of science use non-generative AI)

Yes, but at least many of the millions of AI sales people with STFU

It could also be due to vegetation growing up around it and creating more hummus as it goes, raising the soil.

I'm almost certain that's not due to just gravity. It's due to soil movement, which might be related to clay contracting as it dries and then squeezing sideways as it gets wry, or it might be related to water in the soil expanding and shrinking as it freezes and thaws. Gravity alone won't push a rock through soil.
