God this is beyond ridiculous.

They used ChatGPT to sort over 1,400 National Endowment for the Humanities grants into spreadsheets. Their exact prompt to the AI was “Does the following relate at all to DEI? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes.’ or ‘No.’ followed by a brief explanation.”

They didn’t define what they meant by DEI. They just asked ChatGPT to figure it out. And then cancelled grants based on whatever it said. Probably didn’t even read past the yes or no.

The government’s defence was essentially ChatGPT did it, not us. When asked if he regretted people losing income, he said he didn’t, because reducing the deficit was more important. When asked if they actually reduced the deficit, he admitted they did not.

They caused real harm, achieved nothing they claimed to be pursuing, and expressed zero regret about it.

Just really horrible all around.

Pedantic reading: there are 2 pawns side by side looking at the castle, arguably one of them should be able to tear it down with their bare hands right now.

Yeah my backlog is so big now that I could probably be happy without ever buying another game. Of course there are some I still will just from being a fan of the ip or if something really interesting comes out but yeah I’m certainly not rushing out the door to grab it.

Real Debrid type service is super cheap and worth paying for for movies and TV, used with stremio you have a near identical experience to Netflix (superior even in some ways).

Check what the active ingredient is, then find that cheap

Damn, if my maths is right it would be 2.59/l aud, my closest station atm is at 1.80/l and hit a high of 2.30/l

Potentially yeah. In some states it can be charged as a misdemeanour with as little as probation or no jail time at all, especially for first offenders. Alabama treats criminally negligent homicide as a Class A misdemeanour with a maximum of one year imprisonment and/or $6,000 in fines in standard cases.

In many states it’s treated as a low to mid-level felony, and the penalty typically doesn’t exceed three years’ imprisonment. Some states go up to 10 years and Montana goes up to 20.

So while it can have consequences, it doesn’t necessarily have meaningful enough consequences depending on many factors.

Drinking age varies by country, in Australia it’s 18, maybe she just wanted to check how far it was and would have let it slide at a point before 100 depending on the equivalent.

It’s like trackball mice, it just takes practice to get used to. Next to no one outside logitech makes them either but they are still genuinely good if it’s what you need.

There 100% has to be regulation on charges and ports, maybe a colour system like how usb3 ideally is blue.

I mean it makes for a funny image but, sunglasses exist? Just do like 3d glasses and have a return bucket (which they’re probably doing with these anyway).

So what can get you there? Because from the outside it appears the main reason Trump won was because of people not voting for Dems precisely because of this “they’re barely better” attitude.

If I have to vote whether to get punched or stabbed I’m not going to avoid voting just because they’re both bad and just hope everything works out and then maybe get stabbed anyway.

Whatever magical solution you believe in can be attempted under both governments. So what possible reason is there to attempt it under worse circumstances?

Sure, but I’m one of the very few people in this thread that didn’t go in that direction so I’m not really sure why you’re directing that point at me.

Though I guess the main point would be that if the game can only end after someone catches the snitch, you’d still rather it be you than the other team.

In many sports, how much you lose by matters for certain things like rankings and such. Like say the other team has 160+ more points than you. Clearly your team is catastrophically terrible at the game to have ended up in that position. You’re probably not catching up.

Even if you have faith they could make 2 goals, there’s no real way to time catching the snitch at exactly the right moment, nor to make sure the other seeker doesn’t get it in that time.

So in general it’s probably better to put your team out of its misery and lose by 10 points rather than by over 300 points.

I know there’s been a fair bit of discussion and I only skimmed it, but the main issue I could see is if one team actually ignored everything for the snitch, it’s feasible the other team could get 15 goals literally for free before you actually succeed. But the video game nerfing the snitch tells you everything you need to know about whether it can be balanced at all.

You underestimate the number of teens that currently smoke and number of new teens that will take up smoking even under this system.

Without going down a 2 hour rabbit hole I found https://12yamase.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/

From 2010, but it doesn’t appear to be the source.

That’s explicitly addressed in an episode where he admits he’s just seeing how far he can take his generosity.

Sushi doesn’t have to be raw. Sashimi is raw by definition. But yes, that’s what they were aiming for.

Yes, because that’s what they’re used to. That’s not nothing. But in Australia I’ve had the opposite experience. Every single one saying they prefer uncut. It’s just what you’re exposed to.
