If you change your orientation, this could still be clockwise

I think the joke is if there were more autistic people in charge of those things, the accidents wouldn’t happen

I just always say P-N-A-S

It is most likely this. OP is one of the unfortunate people that just cannot use marijuana safely due to his biology. If you have cannabinoid hyperemesis, best to stay away from weed because the constant nausea/vomiting can lead to unintentional weight loss and a lot of other physical problems that are no fun.

I’m addition to convenience Amazon has just killed off a lot of retail options. The only competitor left with brick and mortar is Walmart and somewhat best buy for electronics. Very hard to find those small specialty stores nowadays for little random things unless you live in a big metropolitan area. Even stores like Walmart now will have the same products by a million different brands instead of having an actual variety of products.

I know you’re referring to a VR headset but my mind immediately started imagining standalone over-ear headphones that can play all PC games through a purely audio interface. Imagine the accessibility possibilities lol

Except most state/local governments do have property taxes on houses, land, and cars. Not unrealistic to apply the same towards other assets. Specially since taxing homes and cars is counterintuitive because you’re taxing necessities, while taxing monetary/investment assets like stocks would make more sense to encourage more spending instead of just hoarding the money.

There’s a white color. You can tell they erased it from the legend

It was a poor reference to a quote from the TV show Community. The half Palestinian character Abed says that his father’s falafel restaurant had been struggling for a while because “9/11 was pretty much the 9/11 of the falafel business”

9/11 was the 9/11 of the Jenga business

There’s no way humans kill 100 million sharks a year. How many sharks are there?

Sure, but the difference was he could’ve been charged for murder if, let’s say, the person he ordered to be killed was a political opponent and not a clear threat to the nation. And Congress or judges would’ve had some power to make that call before, whereas they don’t really seem to have that power anymore.

Also, strictly speaking in terms of what the founders wanted - they did not want the president to have those kinds of powers. Most of these things were really brought in during FDR’s tenure during WWII where he took a lot of power for the executive branch. And it’s a trend that’s been continuing since.

Not really. The founders wanted a 3 pronged, balanced government with each branch checking the others’ power. Now the legislative essentially can’t do anything against the executive, and neither can the judicial unless SCOTUS changes its mind.

They specifically didn’t want another king

It counts as another reference for whatever you’re writing at the moment

If you have 1 of 1 bag of apples, you have 1 bag (1x1=1).

If you have 2 of 1 bag of apples, you have 2 bags (2x1=2).

If you have 3 of 1 bag of apples, you have 3 bags (3x1=3).

And so on…

Hasn’t this always been a possibility? People could always record their screen or take screenshots during meetings or whatever

Maybe the problem is a lot of their marketing relies on the dominance of their search engine (ie sponsored search results, and ads based on user searches, as well as tracking user web usage via their search click throughs and other cookies). If open ai’s products become the go to for questions and basic searches, they will eventually be able to use that dominance to include marketing results in their answers. I think this threat is why they want to try to compete with them to be able to offer an alternative. Because it doesn’t actually have to be better than chat gpt. It just has to be similar enough for people to continue using Google rather than change their habits to use chatgpt, or Microsoft’s implementations of it. Especially with windows 11 where copilot (basically Microsoft rebrand of chatgpt) is built in and you can use it from the task bar. That ease of use may steadily decrease people’s reliance on Google search, which will eventually hurt their ability to sell targeted ads.

The pain is a lesser problem than getting chronic kidney infections. If you know the stones are the cause, you need to see a urologist to figure out a solution. Recurring inflammation from the stones and infections can cause more and more problems as you age, and may potentially affect your renal function down the line.

GPT is just trying to get a good tip.

Yeah I agree with you. If they had used her actual voice without permission, that’s one thing. But they hired a voice actor who sounded like what they wanted their voice model to sound like. Sam Altman tweeted “her” on May 13 2024, which I guess people are using to say he ripped off SJ, but I don’t see how. 1) being inspired by other creative works, and referencing them in your own work is neither stealing nor illegal, and 2) if anything he was inspired by the AI character in the movie, not SJ herself, i.e. the inspiration was from the writer/director/audio engineers in conjunction with SJ’s performance. You getting downvoted here is just the Internet hive mind doing its thing rather than anyone having any actual argument for why this is wrong.
