EA?

If you ask this of any current day AI it will answer exactly how you would expect. Telling you to drive, and acknowledging the comedic nature of the question.

Cast-iron, or enamel-coated cast-iron.

I remember reading that autoimmune diseases are more common in people descended from regions that survived the bubonic plague, and that it’s believed this is because the survivors …

A single apartment complex could almost certainly not cover enough space with solar panels in order to charge a battery to accommodate this.

New Orleans is undeniably worse. Sea level in much of the Gulf Coast rose 8 inches from 2006 to 2018: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/04/1...

“Effectiveness” was a measurement of reduction in severe infection, not reduction of transmissibility. Nobody ever claimed there was a 90% reduction in transmission.

The Treasury (under the executive branch) could possibly regulate crypto as a currency, but most likely this would require new legislation from congress to give the Treasury the po…

I have less gray hair today than 5 years ago - I think that’s pretty easy for aging men to achieve. ;)

Gitolite is open source and really easy to self host if you only need VCS.

Montague makes various full sized folding bikes. I’m quite pleased with the Navigator, but they even make a folding mountain bike, the Paratrooper. When unfolded, you can’t tell at…

This back and forth was fantastic to read, though I understand basically none of it.

On a similar note: The period leading up to the Black Death in Europe was a warmer climate than usual, allowing agriculture to expand and populations to explode. Deforestation was …

> Sars Cov 2 is a coronavirus, one among several of a similar type. We're still learning much about it and doubtless there are going to be many complicated patient outcomes from so…

Yes, but it’s only more efficient than testing everybody if you are unlikely to get a positive result. So, in places where covid is not widely spreading.

Sorry, but you are wrong. This would no more violate the ADA than random drug testing (legal) or requiring temperature checks, which some employers are already doing to protect aga…

Mutation is not the only factor determining how often a vaccine would be given. If antibodies only last a year from the vaccine dose, it should still be given yearly, even if the v…

Yes, i3 drastically improved my ability to be productive and not get lost in my windows. I sorely miss it when I am using windows or MacOS.

Turns out I’m wrong! Cancer does undergo natir selection and develops resistance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_evolution_in_cancer#...

It’s my understanding that cancer stems from malfunctioning of our own cell processes, rather than from something that is viral/bacterial. For that reason it seems wrong to think a…

Is this project still active? I remember seeing this years ago, but it seemed like the developer walked away from it. I would really like to have the ability to install asetniop on…
