Yep, and what a lot of people don't realize is that it's the many varied species of bee that are under threat far more than the honeybee, which humans actively cultivate.
Somehow I doubt WebP protects against AI assimiliation.
Speaking of the perpetual 'drop them at 25' joke, was there any indication dicaprio is in the epstein list? I need to know where on my list of uber-rich evil he fits.
To be fair, she could easily make an argument for point 1, but even making that argument would put her at risk.
"You can be civil to the leopard while it's in the process of eating your face" is what she means.Fascists are an existential threat to logic, reason and compassion all. Paired with the modern bunch of them also having a terrifying amount of death cultists among them, and far too many within reach of nuclear control codes, and we're talking existential threat, if not now then in a generation or two.
... sorry, a single firebomb on a mansion is now 'terrifying'? That used to be New Year's celebrations in many places.
Soooo... This is just a hypothesis, but I'm fairly sure bugs that do this (which all happen to be jumping bugs or arachnids) do that little dance thing to judge distance better.
First I thought it was going to the gym before work (I mean, why tf do an extensive personal care routine BEFORE going to the gym where you work up a sweat?), then nope, just random tutorial or podcast or smt. That said, I was a bit too distracted being amazed at this dog for not chowing down on a steak placed basically in front of its face. I know my Golden would not be able to resist that for more than 2 seconds.
soooo... sponsored by whatever that water brand is? It comes up way too often to not be that or some running gag for the channel itself (or, yk, both).
Greed. The common thread is greed.
I definitely missed that last metaphor, but hot damn there was so much more bad shit going on there than I thought. I mean, I knew the so-called 'wizarding world' was a mess, there'd not be so much 'fix-it' or 'gtfo and dont look back' type fanfiction if anything about it was decent, but every time I ask about it I get a new list of shit that is beyond belief.
... what the fuck do you need training for to use most standard-AI tools? They're literally some of the most idiot-proof things out there, as long as you're not doing anything actually important with them....It's pretty much just "writing some flavortext for a random article you wanna sell online? use chatGPT to write it for you cause your brain doesn't work" and "Are you writing something where accuracy is important? Don't touch AI, or even Grammarly or Word. Use Windows 7-era Notepad".
Hey here's another idea, how about we increase the property taxes on any non-private legal entity (aka anything that's not a private person) that owns more than 3 houses, and then increase it further for every year that it does not contain a long-term renter? By long-term I mean someone with a lease or renting contract lasting multiple years, not some airBnB scam contract.
But then how would they stop the wrong people from voting?
Unfortunately, the downside (or in their case upside) of being a gigantic country filling almost an entire continent is that it's even more expensive to leave. If any nation in Europe tried this line they'd find a large portion of their youth just fucking off to the nearest neighbor that treats them half-decently.
Non-stop work, mind. NO breaks, NO sleep, just unending work for nearly 16K years to hit 1 billion. or 16k people working non-stop for 1 year, or 48k people working 8h every single day for a year
Yep, the old mixer my parents used is still functional despite my sister and I spending our childhood and young adulthood abusing it. If you buy anything similar in almost any price class now, you can basically FEEL the electric motor failing if you put a bit too much pressure on it.
And run more smoothly. I thought the website being a non-functional mess was YT punishing me for using adblockers, but I tried it without and it's at least as bad if not worse. Why would I ever get any paid subscription or any sort of app if a giga-company can't even keep their website functional?
Something about the format encourages this tbh, I get that urge there as well, like nothing else. I've also discovered the best way to learn new things is to make an assumption, then state that assumption as fact with utter certainty, at least 5 separate people will pop up to correct you, and with some luck at least one of them will have actual decent sources.
who even MAKES bathroom rugs in piss yellow or any form of shit-brown? Cause with a shape like that you can't convince me it was meant to be anything other than a bathroom rug.
huh, I don't recall that exact description, but then I haven't touched the actual books in years, so I'll take your word for it. Which makes it projecting, I guess. That said, it was rather telling that the one time Polyjuice was used for cross-gender changes, the main remark was Hermione talking about Harry's terrible eyesight. Unless I am misremembering some joke about a change in equipment there as well?
Exactly, and ignore the naysayers that say it won't affect the tyrants or the fascists since those won't care. That isn't the point, the point is to make them look weak, pathetic and laughable for the sane people of the world, to counter the bombardment of hopelessness and negativity.
Which sounds to me like it works exactly as intended. That's the correct term, rather than "flawless", it's "exactly as designed".
Wait, ALL the death eaters? Seriously? I mean if she'd said "lucius malfoy is trans" or something that would be one thing, but holy shit she's projecting lol.It's so ironic how she turned out to be a mix of Umbridge and Rita Skeeter herself in the end. At least we know why she was so effective at making them utterly hateable.
Sounds like it's basically his worldbuilding notes wrapped in a loose narrative. Not something that is meant to be a novel. I've not read it yet, but since I managed to get through Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (repeatedly, though books 8-11 definitely show Jordan's age, and without Sanderson's work on the final 3 I fear the closing arc would've been very unsatisfying).
No, otters aren't really good at pets, or so I was always told. They're one of my absolute favorite animals, but they're just a tad too wild usually to be a decent pet. This one seems pretty tame, but who knows what state it'll be in in a few years.
That's the thing that makes this entire situation especially egregious. Like, the guy is a conman, but he's terrible at being a conman. He can't keep a story straight across a single speech or conversation. By all rights, he should be some third rate-loser trying to sell fake baseball tickets to gullible teens. Instead, he kept failing upwards and is now fooling a devastatingly large portion of the US, and is still fooling far too many.
Yeah, though each time I see it I remember the irony that the band that wrote the original is called "4 Non-blondes".
So, just curious, does Temu actually have warehouses North America and Europe Amazon-style, or does stuff ship from China? Cause getting shipping from China is a bit tricky in the EU rn.
Same, no point rounding off whatever I'm doing at the time if things escalate to that point, even if we escape a MAD scenario a single nuke being fired at this point means things are so far beyond FUBAR that each letter of that acronym needs its own health warning.
