I mean sure… but without the fan it’s not going to work nearly as well.

It doesn’t even work WITH the fan as we’re now finding out it’s still creating toxic air in homes.

Grok said it was all fake, what more can you expect of her.

Don’t forget about the electric ventilation being out if theres a power outage. You don’t want to cook with a gas stove indoors with that off.

You’d be looking at another 2-3k but you could get battery that can support that (and other things in an outage)

That starts you down the rabbit hole of okay well what about solar panels to charge it in an extended outage…

Also not practical for so many people.

Really a microwave or single plate induction would be better for outage and cheaper battery.

That’s fair.

What about fighting back with porn of these same AI propagandists saying I’m fake, but I’m a patriotic Pole and I’ll fuck you!

Porn, and gets across they aren’t real.

The problem is a lot of these things take many many years to make better.

A lot of actions were taking here years ago and were starting to see rents come down, but it isn’t a fast thing.

Then with people having the memory of a goldfish, the people trying to at least partially fix things don’t get the outcome fast enough because it’s slow, and the right wing fascists come in and say see, it didn’t work, and tear it all down. Then due to the delay in everything the previous governments actions start to show some benefit and the fascists say, see we did it, until things turn to shit and the people wanting to fix things take over again.

And the cycle never fucking ends.

I guess you could have applied knowing they’d come for it, and then toss it in a GIC for interest, unless they’re charging interest too.

Sounds like a the judge should just dismiss the case with prejudice since the government is poisoning people against him illegally

I didn’t know Blackberry did that… but I hope India understood that if they made a backdoor India could use, then Canada and Blackberry could use it to hah… and uhhh you know Canada would ultimately share that with the USA (at least back then) if needed as part of five eyes.

May I introduce you to Fair Use Doctrine.

https://www.dmca.com/FAQ/What-is-Fair-Use

There isn’t a single country out there that isn’t trying to gather information that could be used to harm another country. Some more than others, but literally everyone does this. In turn, every country tries to defend against other countries doing it to them.

It’s not that your own country can be trusted, but another country can use it to harm another country.

The US government has no problem harming US citizens if it suits their needs.

The US government doesn’t want China or any other country harming its citizens or the country though unless they are in on it.

It’s the same all around the world.

I wasn’t going to log in to verify either lol.

Even if that’s the case, it will come down to fair use policy which will allow quite a lot.

If the specific instance of sharing isn’t fair use and Twitter allows it, then sue them, someone will. Reddit for example though is just littered with modified images and they’ve been fine. Same with Lemmy.

Edit: If someone starts trying to make money off modified images via Grok, then that becomes a much easier case to win.

new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

This specific part is kinda stupid.

Nothing was ever preventing anyone from modifying an artists work. Its incredibly common. No one needs consent to modify anything.

To distrubute something that isn’t yours that doesn’t fall under fair use, absolutely. But modifying without consent is a joke.

It’s 31st in the crust, there’s more than Lead.

Then it’s all over the world in other areas in higher concentrations like in brines (the easiest way for us to get it) or clays, and there’s over 200 billion tons of it in the ocean. Granted the ocean stuff would take some figuring out how to get, but it’s a ridiculous amount.

Whenever we go looking for it, we keep finding vast reserves of it.

Such as this just this month: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/1-5-trillion-lithium-deposit-114805186.html?guccounter=1

Edit: for the sea water stuff, capturing it as a side product of desalination or a next step in desalination might be a starting way to begin extracting it without massively increasing costs as some of the costs will already be part of desalination, which could help bring desalination costs down via another revenue stream.

I know there’s been lots of headlines in the past like OMG there’s not enough lithium! It’s never been true.

It’s one of the most abundant elements out there, it’s everywhere. It was always more about what reserves we knew about, but when what we knew about wasn’t going to be enough, people go looking, and it’s abundant.

Also the more uses there are for it, the more profitable it is to extract from these methods and the better we get at it, the cheaper it is to extract, which further opens up even more options.

Some people have relationships like that with their longtime family Dr, I never have though, nor do I even have one right now.

I think its worth pointing out that needing a vaccine is different than getting and benefiting from a vaccine.

Seasonal Flu and Covid vaccines are still beneficial, so while you don’t need any, if there is a way to beat the phobia, you can still benefit.

It’s not likely that anyone is going to offer you something like Xanax or Ativan for a yearly flu shot, but maybe your Dr would knowing your circumstances, and that could be a slow process to maybe beating it by getting some successful years behind you using that method?

Hades is a great roguelite and is on sale for $9.75CAD right now. If you like that then there’s also Hades 2. It has a really cool story built into it which at least at the time was more unique in the genre.

Try to find slightly older games and they’ll have steeper discounts.
