Y'all better get used to this shit. It's only a matter of time before the hot girl in class or at work can be your personal onlyFans model. Your going to have a fight with your partner over something your chatbot said to them. People will marry, divorce, and leave inheritances to their chatbots. You will run into your ex out shopping with a version of you.

which comes from the same family as Ebola and has a fatality rate of nearly 90 per cent.

The Telegraph

The average fatality rate is around 50 per cent, with rates varying from 24 per cent to 88 per cent in past outbreaks depending on the strain of the virus and quality of medical care.

If you oppose the Kim regime, expanded internet access in NKorea would be a wise goal.

You should never adopt a pet you can't care for, and this mother was wise to foresee the vet bill for this high-maintenance kitty.

Violent criminals tend to be young, like solders, and for the same reason.

I hate that when I abandon a comment, the annoying little "are you sure you want to leave the page?" dialogue pops up.

Buying isn't supporting. Capitalism is not a social support network.

Companies have spent millions and taken years to convince people that going shopping is a kind of activism.

If I suggested you donate money directly to a video game company, or volunteer your time to help them you'd see right away how fucking weird that whole concept is.

You are home with your wife at 4 a.m. when suddenly a 17-year-old with a gun appears. The teenager won’t hesitate, District Attorney Tony Clayton said. “He will kill you and your wife.”

This is a recursive problem because what about the 16yo? And even if you lock up all the 16yo thugs, can a 15yo not shoot your wife? You love your wife don't you?

There are two kinds of people, the kind who'll read this and think, "This is science working", and others who'll think "Well, you can't trust science".

For some people, "war crimes" isn't a legal theory, but a moral outrage. In this case, they've painted themselves into a corner because Joe Biden is already fully responsible for genocide, so adjudicating a few war crimes seems petty and irrelevant.

Never mind that a conflict in the same time-zone as Israel, energy infrastructure is a primary target for both sides.

I love it that even among Linux users there are proselytizers that annoy everyone else. You'd think that switching to Debian or something would inoculate you from pretentious nagging to switch OS, but NOPE!

(I'm just salty because Valve didn't pick my fav distro.)

The argument about Israel's right to exist is dishonest because it's explicitly meant to be equated to Jewish existence.

The easiest way to shut down this nonsense is to ask for some contemporary examples of countries that don't have the right to exist. And if they come up with one, Iran is popular, ask them why Israel expects peace while her policy toward her neighbors is annihilation. This is obviously bad faith, but they'll be forced to deconstruct their own argument to call you out.

 
 

In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?

I have a recipe that calls for a dough to be autolysed (long bulk ferment while stretching and folding the dough). I'm fortunate to have access to a stand mixer. Is their any advantage to doing the autolyse? Should I just kneed it in the mixer to save time?

When Florida changed it's law to allow ex-felons to vote, I remember reading that the legislature put as many roadblocks as they could. Felons must complete all sentences, fines, and restitution before they can vote.

So any sentence or sanction that can't be fulfilled by November should exclude him from Florida's rolls, right?
