If those groups are "left" then your Overton window is fucked.

The yellow bracket is intended to prevent the installation of skimmers. Unfortunately, the design isn't compatible with all of the fixtures they're applied to, and are often enough…

That way lies superdeterminism, which has stood out to me as the most satisfactory explanation for years.

I'm grateful that this bill is taking a much more measured approach than the headline suggests. The bill is targeting specific additives, or "excessive" amounts of added sugar, sal…

Not the rampant racism or sexism or simple misanthropy or outright calls to violence or overflowing hostility. It's the spam that tops the problem list.

I've been taking some online classes these last two semesters, and I can cleanly group my classmates into three categories: the blatant LLM users, the rare students who actually in…

I think it's a reasonable punishment for putting bullets into the air with little idea where they might land—and on whom.

It's not a forest because that kind of growth isn't native, but San Diego has one of the nation's largest urban parks in Mission Trails Regional Park.

Recent can be a generous time period, but it's not unimportant. When I was very young, I was able to enjoy the Hardy Boys and the Chronicles of Narnia, but even in the 90s, just fo…

Off by 0.35% in your morning coffee, no problem. Off from your intended vector by 0.35% when you're moving at 6500 m/s, and you're veering off course by 22 meters every second.

Grapevine says that beyond simple redundancies, ABK's customer service is being gutted in favor of outsourcing.

Well, my apartment building of 36 units has zero exterior outlets, for a start.

Why people still make the appeal to nature fallacy, for starters.

I suspect that was intentional. Lovecraft and many of his peers were anti-Semitic, and crafting names for cosmic horrors that vaguely sounded like Hebrew would mesh with that.

The burst of quests is, last I checked, mostly stuff about unlocking battle pets and allied races.

Not parent, but simply because I don't have the income needed to pack up and get out. No savings, no remote job. Clawing your way up from a start at $8.40/hr takes a long damn time…

I'm interested- joe.r.collins@gmail.com I'm going to guess the translations are mechanical, rather than professional?

Saturated fats convert to cholesterol, high values of which is a common health problem. So this sounds like a great health improvement? The only possible downside I see in this ver…

Isn't this just the anthropic principle from a different angle?

It's the same ethical gap that dogs virtually any AI art project. In your example, some other actor did work in exchange for some satisfactory payment (possibly free). In the case …

> At its peak, the plant employed over a thousand Navajos, the majority of whom were women. In The Shiprock Dedication Commemorative Brochure released by the Fairchild company, the…

Always love to see updates from this project. Miegakure is the peak of game design: not merely a Skinner box or masturbatory fantasy, it's an honest exploration of what-if, so far …

We already have the concept of a primary residence. I'd strongly support laws that impose fast-ramping tax burdens on further ownership. Possibly with a more modesty burden for a s…

Generally I'm okay with this idea, but considering the audience, I'm particularly curious about the background of the owners and staff. The Catholic Schools stamp in the footer doe…

There's someone on imgur who's been offering a similar service for fellow imgurites, but I believe they've actually been offering a go at actual translation. (Approximations necess…
