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 just not installed correctly... but that's w

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, salt, or fat (exact thresholds unnamed). "U

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 invest themselves, and the majority whose contributions a

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 forty years after the latter was written, they both felt

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.

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 just to reach self-sufficiency, let alone moving

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 very thin reporting is the usual feel of ickiness some folks ge

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 of AI synthesis, actors' work is plagiarized witho

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 outside the realm of our daily 3D experience that the p

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 second home—say, a family purchasing one to pass to chil

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 does not instill me with confidence.

I don't feel that it's a technicality when the distinction is between a single aisle in the grocery store and a vast swath of foods. Bread is processed, some yogurts and cheeses (although fermentation alone might only qualify as

A "processed" food is simply one that has any amount of added salt, sugar, or fat. Many snacks include seed oils, I'm sure, but "nearly all" processed foods certainly do not. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu&
