“I don’t look at her face.” - her father, probably

I would speculate that almost all people have either a general version or have part of it in specifically tech funds, so almost everyone has “contributed” to this. Even better are people who have typical a 401k though a company that have very limited ways to change how the investing is done.

“Just get me a turkey club… uh… coleslaw, I guess… I’m not even going to eat it.”

Wonder what coleslaw does on impact?

or this:

Doesn’t seem like an arrest when it’s on Illegal grounds. I call it kidnapping. Which is where the actual authorities should be stepping in to do something about it, but I guess they’re seeing them as also officers in uniform and hey, got to support the blue, right? No matter what they’re doing to people.

Seems more of a “thump”, since it didn’t come open as the agent lied it did. Also, it certainly survived. Still wrapped, seems good enough to eat still. Doesn’t even need a 5 second rule.

Was it the sandwich itself, or the mustard and onions? I’m not clear on where their fear lies. PB&J, foot long subs, open face grilled cheese… we need to know the optimal offensive here. Eh, just bring a variety, and whatever doesn’t make them cower can be lunch.

Did anyone ask the sandwich how it felt?

A car that runs a red light can cause serious or even fatal injuries. A cyclist, on the other hand, is unlikely to cause the same degree of damage.

But they can cause damage. So this direction of logic is faulty. If they argued that there would be less accidents with cyclists going through stop intersections then I would ask to see the data to validate that, but “the crashes won’t be as bad” is ludicrous to ground this change on. And won’t be as bad for whom? It’s going to be bad for the cyclist certainly, but even if a fatal hit only creates a scratch on a car hood, does that mean it’s okay?

I mean years ago when more aware he bragged about how he couldn’t deal with the site of blood, so this is in character for him. Probably not great with any crisis, we’ve seen evidence of that too. Weak. MAGA, this is what you wanted as a role model leader? Y’all are weak too.

Everyone who compares growth here (here being very relative considering how it works) vs. the idealized Reddit is forgetting something. Age. You don’t get peak Reddit by looking at its first years, and yet you’re looking at the literal first years for Lemmy and company and saying it’s not comparable. No, it’s not.

Doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be constant discussion on improving and growing communities for better discussion, but the whole “oh no, the numbers are low” is ridiculous. Aside from being a aggregated discussion format, this is like comparing apples and cars. Reddit shouldn’t be a goal or benchmark, discussion flow here should be. I’ll be more worried about stagnation when feed numbers for myself drop back to the first few months, where there was concern about if federation would even work well. (and improving federation/defederation is also a great topic to talk about, it isn’t perfect, but it’s far better than it was)

People were never fully informed or educated, so what got accepted is much harder to undo (from habit and from just approaching the topic without a backlash). I noticed both improper mask wearing and the early improper glove use for contact when it was speculated a danger, but I had been taught haz material cleanup so knew a bit more than the average person. What got me was medical personnel who wore it wrong. THEY should know better.

Someone got kidnapped in front of children, and MAGA people are okay with this.

I’ve only found success in LLM code (local) with smaller, more direct sections. Probably because it’s pulling from its training data the most repeated solutions to such queries. So for that it’s like a much better Google lookup filter that usually gets to the point faster. But for longer code (and it always wants to give you full code) it will start to drift and pull things out of the void, much like in creative text hallucination but in code it’s obvious.

Because it doesn’t understand what it’s telling you. Again, it’s a great way to mass filter Stack Overflow and Reddit answers, but remember in the past when searching through those, that can work well or be a nightmare. Just like then, don’t take any answer and just plug it in, understand why that might or might be a working solution.

It’s funny, I’ve learned a lot of my programming knowledge through the decades by piecing things together and in the debugging of my own or other’s coding, figured out what works. Not the greatest way to do it, but I learn best through necessity than without a purpose. But with LLM coding that goes wild, debugging has its limits, and there have been minor things that I’ve just thrown out and started over because the garbage I was handed was total BS wrapped up in colorful paper.

And agents who don’t do this, or do other illegal acts should be dealt with. Right? Hello?

Yes. Has little to do with an engine intake of a loose part right after V1. Might be a factor in a crash scenario not having enough people to do diversions and getting emergency equipment in place.

It means 42. Life, universe, all that…

Kids don’t even know they’re referencing a great author.

Sweeter packets aren’t going to help. In my experience using them, too many start to give a bitter taste of their own. We use sugar in this house, and honestly it doesn’t take much to cut the tea bitter (which will depend on how and how long you brew it, that’s its own debate). Some restaurant sweet teas are way too sweet.

It’s like coffee, you have to find the right ratio that suits your personal taste buds. And sweet tea that sits in the fridge for a few days will get sweeter, but I’m always going through mine every other day or so.

Shorting isn’t the problem as much as metal against metal bending things. Those contacts are fragile. Plastic or wood and being gentle won’t hurt anything.

Vote FOR it, or vote IN it. Two different things. Pretty sure most people would love more choices to fit the many directions and not have to accept with “close enough” or “better than the other one”. As for voting in the system as it exists, there is absolutely the option to just not vote because you feel it’s a waste… but then you get what we have now, since most non-voters (for whatever reasons they didn’t) would have not picked Trump.

The real flaw: people who shout that voting is useless during a voting year, but then don’t try and improve the system during the off years with what’s there. Of course it’s the same voting dichotomy if no one bothers to change it before the next cycle. You get what you put in. I would suggest that it’s because of apathy between voting periods that’s the problem, people vote (or not) and then ignore politics until the next go around, and are shocked that it’s the same.
