That’s one of the fundamental disagreements between Catholics and Protestants.

A Catholic would argue that veneration of saints isn’t worship, it’s showing respect for someone who exemplified Christian ideals, or died as a martyr. Canonization is basically the religious version of the Medal of Honor.

A Protestant would argue that the distinction between veneration and worship is arbitrary, and veneration of a saint essentially amounts to idolatry anyway.

Well shit, that’s a non-starter then.

If that’s WolframAlpha Classic, you probably paid for it a decade ago like I did.

I paid like $5 for the Android app (now WolframAlpha Classic) like 10 years ago and it’s been worth every penny. I use it for anything that needs complicated unit conversions.

WolframAlpha will do the right math, and walk you through it (though IIRC you have to pay for that part).

This is because LLMs do not inherently understand math. They stick characters together that are likely to go together based on the content they were trained on. They’re literally just glorified autocorrect.

If you want a tool that can actually do math from natural language input, try WolframAlpha.

Ubisoft has done a fantastic job of convincing me to never buy a Ubisoft game ever again.

Not sure that’s how a company is supposed to work, but they sure seem to think so.

For a second, my dumb ass thought someone just had a bunch of uselessly inaccurate spirit levels.

Black Friday is a better fit.

The full screen series is easier to watch because you can just load up a playlist, and there’s even compilation videos of a whole “season” at a time, but it can be a little jarring sometimes because Youtube mutes some of the copyrighted music in the full videos.

Shorts apparently fly under the copyright radar, however, likely because most of the content on the platform is set to copyrighted music.

I wonder how many people have been turned away from adopting a more sustainable, plant-based diet simply because they don’t want to be associated with self-righteous assholes like this.

I dunno if there’s a deeper reference to it, but to me it’s just a simple visual pun.

You know how licking a lemon makes your face scrunch up?

The folder licked the lemon and it scrunched up so tight it’s now a ZIP file.

The reason laughing at it makes you an old fart is because it uses the WinRAR icon.

Yeah, even the actual sentiment of the video is more like, “it’s not great but it’s the name that stuck and there’s solidarity behind it.”

The problem, as always, is lumping people together when they didn’t ask to be. Most of the newer, more “politically correct” terms are even more generic and alienating, and, once again, being forced on them from outside.

To everyone else who laughed at this: how are your knees doing, old timer?

How do you know when someone is a vegan?

Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

Oh it definitely eats something, that’s for sure.

You think that lemon mascot fucks?

I think you’d have an even harder time offloading the diamonds than gold. They might retail for that much, but wholesaling is another issue entirely.

You wouldn’t even need to take Bitcoin someone has access to.

There’s tons of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that are theoretically unrecoverable because the private keys to the wallets containing them have been lost, or the hard drives they were on were sent to a landfill (and thus began the world’s shittiest treasure hunt).

However, by spending any of that Bitcoin you’d probably make international headlines and end up starting a market panic, because the most likely explanation for gaining access to that Bitcoin is that you found and exploited some vulnerability in the protocol itself.

The shoebox full of gold would be worth around $12M at current prices.

(First Google result for size of a shoebox: https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-shoe-box-P_0_SHOEBOX

I just rounded down the measurements for a quick and dirty estimate of the internal volume.)

The downside is that would be 341 pounds of gold so maybe specify for it to be in bars instead of a solid block.
