Noise cancelling only really works on constant background noises like an engine. It doesn’t work on bells and just kind of muddies speech, but you can still here the noise.

The problem is diplomatic ramifications.

Parliament can always do what it wants, but if it’s unilaterally removing rights from another country they’re going to be pissed off.

It’s not gay unless the brain worms touch.

Most of these (nightshade etc) are just a secondary form of AI grift that also doesn’t work.

At best they last till they get effective enough for work arounds to be worth looking for, and then they’re gone. The only remedies that stand a chance of lasting are legal.

The coffee has always been bad.

The coffee is burnt, the milk is thin and overcooked, and this has just been a constant part of the experience forever.

What’s really changed is there’s other places to compare with, and it’s now obvious what coffee can taste like and where to go if you want one that’s half way decent.

“What should I have to give thee! Let me rather hurry hence lest I take aught away from thee!”

I always liked the Linux ones over Windows. No random bullshit depending on who made the drivers, just a solid set of options.

Could do with being prettier through.

Their family probably came to Taiwan after the Japanese invasion.

Japan was notoriously brutal to the indigenous population, but most of the people in Taiwan came there in the civil war.

In fact, stamping out the indigenous culture has been an ongoing part of the post civil war Taiwanese government, and it’s only recently that the Taiwanese language has been allowed to be taught in schools.

What are the odds on Clarence Thomas being found doing some truly heinous things in the Epstein files, refusing to step down, and publishing an opinion that the founders really wanted Trump to become God-KKKing of the US?

Turns out Wolverine’s healing factor is just free healthcare.

The main differentiator of fish over everything else is it prioritizes intuitive behavior over backwards compatibility.

Zsh is to bash as c++ is to c. Most bash scripts and habits will work in zsh, but zsh is just more convenient and has more options. Fish is intentionally different.

Do I wish fish had existed instead of bash so we had a nicer terminal experience? On the whole, yes. But I also couldn’t be bothered to learn another shell where most of the instructions online won’t be able to help you, and I ended up sticking with zsh.

Nah, you can actually see some of them developing AI psychosis.

You’ve got to understand that most AI execs aren’t technical people, they’re hype men. And LLMs are weirdly good at hype and the illusion of technical correctness. So they don’t have a problem with it.

Sam Altman saying he uses chatgpt to tell him how to act with his baby is one of the things he’s said I actually believe. Of course he’s also a got a team of nannies he couldn’t be bothered to mention, but the trust for chatgpt is there.

It’s also the font on the pop-ups, and the AI logo.

There’s a very generic style of Facebook cartoon that these things absolutely nail.

Yeah, but this is a legitimate concern in the US.

In most of the world, safety checks for cars include making sure that they are safe enough for people outside the car. There are rules about crumple zones and sharp edges, that effect how they hit pedestrians, and what they can do to other cars.

You can’t drive a cyber truck in Europe or the UK. In the US, it’s a free for all.

If you want smaller cars/trucks back on the road, you need to copy the safety laws from countries where people drive small cars.

If they’re going to name a memorial center after him, shouldn’t he be dead?

Bragging rights and improved sleeping ability from the knowledge that the devs are being supported.

The serious answer is it’s often easier for people in a company to buy a license key than it is for them to arrange a donation to the devs. So this is an easy way to make small donations.

Also not to be confused with tower bridge which is the one everyone that doesn’t live in London calls London bridge.

I think it was his brother’s wife.

Honestly, pornhub needs to do a whole series of Bible porn.

so I confuse the number of ounces in a pound quite often, amongst other things

When do you need to use either of these?

I know the number of pounds in a kilo so I can understand the Americans when they talk about weightlifting and how much people weigh. I don’t think I’ve ever used an ounce in my life.

See if Tesla does well that proves musk is a genius and should be paid more. If it does badly it proves he was unmotivated and should be paid more.
