Looks like an antique pill press. Feels innocent enough, but it's probably still illegal. Seems like a zero-tolerance policy (ban for life for a single mistake) might not be the right balance, though.

Asking out of ignorance & curiosity: did other cultures make cemeteries before Christianity spread that practice? I specifically mean burial plots with marked graves, for which Egyptian mummified pets don't seem to qualify.

I do hope you mean bitwise "addition" and "subtraction" -- (c => c&0xdf) or (c => c|0x20)

Lists and sets suffer the same drawbacks. If the advice is to not use any of the batteries included if the language, why are we using Python? If you want an immutable mapping, why not use an enum?

Counterpoint: there's a vast underinvestment in academia and universities are cutting faculty jobs in favor of underpaid sessional instructors. We're paying much more for administration and executive salaries which don't add

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't that "used pizza box" fuel more or less ideal for a breeder reactor?

I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at plants and pictures of plants and the first image I was shown prominently displays a species very familiar to me. Only, it's subtly wrong, with weirdness along the edges. It jumped stra

We read the same thread. I haven't read all the context. Thanks for that. But I disagree that he's deflecting his obligation to test more broadly -- it does sound like he's trying to get people together to do exactly that.

Is it just me, or has Linus lost the plot here? He says that Kent isn't interested in improving his process and "playing with others," and completely ignores that Kent is getting funding and appears to be building a team of

Of the dozens of men I work with, two are eligible bachelors. Both are above-average in their physical attractiveness. I promise you, that is not what women are looking for.

Comparing the bold looks of the Ioniq6 to the sporty looks of the EV6, I conclude that bold is convex and sporty is concave.

If you want to meet people, there's a lot of skill and patience required, no matter the venue. Dancing is rather uniquely suited to meeting people. Dancing signals fitness and physical competency directly to the lizard brain. Of cour

Boxing is ballroom dance; katas are choreography.

So subtle. The chans are known to invade whenever articles mentioning them are posted here. They get flagged a bunch and drag the articles off the main page quickly. This may be deliberate.

Depends on the martial art: head injuries would complicate that analysis; tai chi isn't terribly aerobic, etc.

That said, dance is a really fun way to package repetitive movements. And if younger people did more of it, the men on this site would spend less time bitching about how hard it is to meet women. *cough*

There are a million reasons not to say something, and a blush of legal anything should deter you from opening your mouth in public before you're straight with a lawyer.

This, a hundred times over. It turns out that communication isn't entirely a bullshit field of study* and it requires significant planning and effort to keep people happy. * note: all fields have bullshit; this is a recent learning of

Every study would be better if it were meta-analysis of longitudinal studies. But those cost a lot, and scientists make do with the resources at hand. But I think this study has value in its own right. I doubt this study was the only one

The only thing to do is document the heck out of it with misleading comments, post it to github, and have other people link to the project, give it stars, interact with it. Continue reinforcing the machine's ego, pay it complements fo

Nah, I never said you can't call out racism or racial bias. But notice that the first paragraph of what you've written is suitably mealy-mouthed to satisfy the guidelines. You're not directly calling a person racist, but

The funny thing about me is that I'm down on GPTs and find their fanbase to be utterly cringe, but I fully believe that AGI is inevitable barring societal collapse. But then, my money's on societal collapse these days.

It pains me to say: you can make this point without overtly calling the parent racist; and the guidelines say you should. I do wish that we could have such honest conversations online, but it time shows that doing so is not a sustainable p

Sometimes I think that people who wreck their lives after winning the lottery are lesser beings than myself. And then, I read about bog butter, and realize that I'd totally blow a million dollars on a single piece of toast.

Sounds like fake movie spy shit to me. It turns out, the Secret Service is an organization of humans with ordinary lives and a relatively modest budget.
