Shorting isn’t the problem as much as metal against metal bending things. Those contacts are fragile. Plastic or wood and being gentle won’t hurt anything.

As a Mbin user, appreciate him being in the right place at the right time, even if his coding wasn’t fully “ready” for the sudden task and he couldn’t continue the work himself. That he made it open source for others to take and run with made a huge difference. Glad he’s doing okay.

Whole milk will go bad very quickly, especially once opened and if not kept below a certain temperature. 2% lasts a lot longer. Also changing the location in the refrigerator makes a huge difference, the door area is the warmest part. If you haven’t had an issue before, then it could be that at some point in handling from the store or you the milk was allowed to warm a bit too much. Again, for whole milk it doesn’t take a lot, and any perishables from Walmart is taking a risk vs. other groceries. Find a store that gets local farm stuff if possible, and try 2%, it’s possible to wean off that sweet whole and buy some time and health.

I mean, yeah. The current administration had been warned of repeated threats as well by the last administration, and they threw them out and got rid of the people most knowledgeable of the on-going problem. The real kicker is bin Laden’s reaction when he learned of the success and results. Even he was surprised. It shouldn’t have never happened at that level, had people done their jobs. Simply making the FAA require a secure cockpit would have changed everything.

The pewter or whatever that brown color is called it even worse.

They probably could if that was the command. However Tony wanted to keep what had happened in the five years since the snap so he didn’t lose his daughter, so the second snap couldn’t be to put things back like it never happened.

I never really got much reaction from any of the Covid shots, but with the last one I also got the shingles vaccine, and I’m pretty sure that one is what hit me hard for a few days. Beats getting shingles though, and if what I understand is true usually how your body reacts to a vaccine is just a mild version of what the real thing would be like.

Web content should always strive to be more accessible. Things like AI should be better regulated instead. I think we’ve missed the boat on a big part of that though, should have legally clamped down on activities a long time ago.

I’ve seen it in both forms online and in chat, but I’m also old so it might be a depreciated form. I’m a walking internet archive.

Places would change up and down in tone and attitude since the days of Usenet, BBSes, and FidoNet. It’s not the platform, it’s the people. How the world is in RL affects how people talk online, and the world changes over time.

The simpler answer may be that your feed has changed some since you started and you’re pulling in discussions that have a different vibe than when you started. Just as you can grow your feed by browsing around, you can cull certain places that tend to be darker by blocking people or instances.

If I recall right (and it may not be right lol) it was timing as well as how many other populations there were. I think the initial discovery and research made some assumptions that what they found was the only people around and that it was a sudden disaster. Just like now we think that the dinosaurs were already suffering for various reasons and the asteroid was just a final push towards extinction over time.

There’s other recent research that counters this idea. It’s still uncertain. Humans have dipped low before, just probably not levels rivals animals like the cheetah, otherwise we’d show the same genetic issues they have due to the inbreeding of the survivors.

I don’t have a reference to it at the moment, so it’s a “trust me” scenario, but what I found then was through googling (because I used to be convinced of the bottleneck), so it’s out there.

And starts with “Writing a constitution for your new country is an exciting task! A constitution serves as the foundation of a nation’s government, outlining its structure, powers, and limitations, as well as the rights and freedoms of its citizens. Here’s a general outline to help you get started:”

(actual local LLM model reply)

Mine ended with “Remember to tailor your constitution to your country’s unique history, culture, and values. It is also essential to ensure that the document is clear, concise, and easily understood by the citizens it serves. Good luck!”

I think we messed that part up.

Which is technically correct, since you are answering “What is [the answer]?”

Looks like Wikipedia decided to let the users battle it out since they have both listed. Both the right and the wrong way.

My opinion, I always use a hard F.

Just to clarify - so you don’t believe in any of the supernatural stuff and are just about the better teachings of Jesus? Aka a Jefferson bible take?

A nitpick, none of the gospel writers were eyewitnesses, the documents were written long after Jesus was gone. They are interpretations of stories passed down, and all four gospels have different takes on events. So the phrase “gospel truth” is very ironic in its definition.

The thought experiment goes past everyone’s point on gravity eventually creating a velocity that is devastating. What would such a mass (between 100 and 180 km in diameter based on map of Corsica) do if it just magically settled gently onto a land mass and then gravity came into play? It wouldn’t be extinction level, but there are lots of regional effects to consider. Weather patterns would be a huge one. Continental plate deflection, which would affect ground stability and water flow. Certainly earthquakes if anywhere near even smaller fault lines. A change in Earth rotational speed and wobble.
