And they will make sure to continue to not know a single thing about what was said. Ignorance isn’t a valid legal defence, but it sure is a common deflection tactic these days. Law makers have a professional and ethical obligation to become informed on the issues their constituents care about, but it seems like it’s rare to find one that remembers that obligation.
Will Forte. His voice and “quirky” style I find just irritating and not at all amusing.
“Fancy graphics” also doesn’t correlate well with how visually appealing a game is. I would take Ori graphics over CoD any day.
Which is to say that prices did increase every generation.

The old reddit domain worked for me in a private session.
AI = sqrt((pc)2 + (m0c2 )2 ) - m0c2
I wonder if it would be worthwhile to colocate large greenhouses with datacenters. The exhaust temperatures seem compatible with hothouse growing. The heat would still end up in the atmosphere, but at least it could enable growth of fresh local produce first.
What could one legislator cost, Michael, 25,000 dollars?
Iowa pays its general assembly members a salary of $25k a yr. So $200k a yr in lobbying from a single company potentially buys a lot of influence.
My biggest apprehension about using llms for shopping is that there is no reason to think the models won’t sell priority/positive attribution as an alternative to traditional marketing. It’s the only monetization scheme that I think makes the absurd valuations make any sense. Condition everyone to offload the tiresome tasks of comparison shopping by just telling the llms what they want. Once people form the impression that the top results are what they themselves would pick or at least close to it, then the llm’s will take over the actual purchasing task. Then the stage is fully set to sell consumers as a product to various companies. Imagine if HP could move away from scammy ink subscriptions and instead pay OpenAI to get millions of people to buy their printers and ink anytime they ask chatgpt to find them a printer.
I recognize that this is borderline conspiratorial, but llm’s smell like the next evolution of enshittification and removing that pesky rational actor of pricing models.
Definitely, any changes natural or anthropogenic would be measured and to great accuracy. I just wanted to point out that the notion of the general public, especially if conditioned to distrust scientists and authorities, not noticing changes isn’t the outlandish part. See global warming denial despite years of record setting temperatures.
Ignoring conspiracy theory stuff, people aren’t very good at perceiving changes in light levels if they happen gradually. During any solar eclipse there are wide bands where only a partial eclipse is observed. It’s pretty common for people in those bands to not notice that something has changed even with 50% occlusion.
Do new oil and gas leases qualify as weather modification? What about clear cutting forests and draining wetlands?
Yeah that’s my attitude as well. I grow the things that are significantly better straight out of the garden. The best tomatoes are too fragile to go through the sorting machinery, so growing your own enables much higher quality produce. Berries are way better picked ripe. Green beans are also super easy to grow and are better fresh.
Then there’s varieties that just aren’t popular enough for many stores to stock and specialty stores are far and expensive: patty pan squash, molokhia, ground cherries, shallots, celery leaves (I don’t like the stalk), a variety of herbs, peppers that aren’t bell or jalapeno, etc.
American chestnuts will die here, but I have a magnificent large Chinese chestnut tree in my yard. It’s not the same, but at least we get to harvest some 10-15 gallons of chestnuts every fall.
And you hitting submerged objects that aren’t flowing. I remember cutting my hand on a rock while going through rapids with a life jacket on. You need to practice keeping your feet downstream when in whitewater conditions.
Salary also can’t be exempt from overtime if the salary works out to less than minimum wage for the hours worked. So only 2080 of the 6000 hours could be minimum wage and the other 3920 would be paid at time and a half.
They haven’t been working on and off a couple weeks for me as well.
I see you’ve already been told what 4’33" is but I thought I would point out that we are in complete agreement.
4’33" by John Cage would be an acceptable addition to this playlist.
Surely the second commandment was more of a suggestion.
