Those look amazing, but how is it different in regards to sugar plantations? Aren’t they both effectively topped with glaze, either wet or pearled?

But you have to say it with a silly voice, and if either of you laughs the effect is broken.

But you can never truly change who you are.

It’s kinda messed up reasoning, but it does check out with national obesity statistics:

• Non-Hispanic Black: 49.6%
• Hispanic: 45.6%
• Non-Hispanic White: 41.4%

Even then there’s so much overlap in human dimorphism that it’s not an exact science, there’s still like a 5-10% error rate in sexing perfectly preserved pelvic bones. Accurate enough for anthropology, but that’s a big error rate to apply to individuals.

The prisoners Bush had sent to Egypt were not sent from the US, they were sent from different countries that allowed extradition to Egypt. It was disgusting and abhorrent, but it isn’t the same thing as what we’re seeing now.

Flying people from the US to foreign prisons without due process is a blatant violation of the constitution.

Since studying machine learning I’ve become a lot less opposed to AI as a concept and specifically opposed to corporate/cloud LLMs.

Like a simple on-device model that helps turn speech to text isn’t something to be opposed, it’s great for privacy and accessibility. Same for the models used by hospitals for assistive analysis of medical imaging, or to remove background noise from voice calls.

People don’t seem to think of that as ‘AI’ anymore though, it’s like these big corporations have colonized the term for their buggy wasteful products. Maybe we need new terminology.

I like to give a thumbs up to drivers who stop for me. Not because they’re doing some huge favor, I just like to be encouraging.

If it crashes the line would decapitate him

That would mean all taxes are theft.

You’re welcome to have that perspective, but it doesn’t map well onto any modern legal framework for ownership.

It’s not meaningless, it’s about who controls a thing. What makes you think ownership must not have conditions?

I don’t think taxes negate ownership.

If you rent you need permission for every modification, every pet, even for something like planting a garden.

Ownership can be conditional; you can own a domain, but if you don’t pay the renewal fee it can be taken away; you can own a car, but if you drive it without paying your registration it can be impounded; you can own a business, but if you don’t pay your license renewal it can be revoked.

Owning something doesn’t mean it can never be taken away or that you don’t need to do anything to keep it.

Like 10% of all housing sits vacant, the lack of supply in the market is not just a lack of units, it’s also a strategy by investors to keep prices high.

Same cable, same port, I don’t really care what it’s called if the capabilities are the same.

3D is important for stuff like VR, there’s a reason it’s the predominant cable for headsets.

Maybe, but I could see thunderbolt replacing HDMI and display port over time. It can carry video, audio, data, and power simultaneously, and has more bandwidth for additional information like HDR or 3D.

Actually a lot of it is made in the US. Shin Ramen, for example, is from Korea, but all the packages I’ve seen are made in a factory in California.

What do they gain by continuing the war?

It’s hardly in Russia’s interest for their sons to die, their equipment to explode, and their economy to crumble. It’s self destructive, which it has in common with capitalism, but worse than that it’s a genocide of the Ukrainian people.
