Are you looking for suggestions for a battery backup? How much are you willing to spend?

This article feels like it was written by ai and this product, while cute, is almost completely useless.

Try recording yourself talking about the subject out loud in private. Like, in a car. I use a program called audacity to make a transcript, then I take parts I like to write. I find it’s easier to talk about things than write when experiencing block.

I started over doing entry level spray tech work treating exotic plants through americorps and worked my way up. I do a lot of field data collection and gis work now. So, I still utilize my old software skills. I work for my local government doing environmental land management.

GIS is definitely a software adjacent job that is utilized a lot in land management. But that isn’t the initial route I took. I really did just kind of started over.

I did this 9 years ago. I make 2/3rds of what I did in software, but I don’t regret it. pivoted to environmental work. My job satisfaction is like, a thousand percent better.

I usually give up or find a free alternative. Typically, if something is available at a good price I won’t bother trying to get it free to begin with.

I’m no floor expert, but I did put floor like this into a room. The instructions we got was to leave a small gap all around the room, since temperature fluctuations will cause the floor to expand, and if there is no space to expand into it will buckle. Baseboard trim that I installed later disguises the gap.

I think gluing it down is not the answer. It may just cause it to buckle in the middle where it is harder to reach. If it’s like the stuff we used, you can score it with a straight edge and a knife and then cut it.

I understand the intended sentiment, but a gatekeeper is someone who acts as an obstacle to something that the subject wants to obtain.

To say a surgeon is a “cultural gatekeeper” implies that they are dolling out culture–or ethnicity in this case–in an exclusive way to those who seek it. This would make sense if the subject of the surgery was altering their appearance to that of a ethnicity other than their own, but this would be contrary to the point of the article.

It’s emblematic of the purple prose which LLMs engage in. It is unlikely that a human writer who demonstrates such an excellent grasp of the English language as demonstrated in the article would make such a mistake.

I should also point out that the article lacks any specificity whatsoever. While it does cite general facts about surgery, a specific clinic, and descriptions of ethnicities, The article fails to demonstrate that this trend even exists. It does not contain a single image demonstrating the trend. It does not cite the origin of the trend. It does not cite any central figures, celebrities, or even specific surgeons or clinics that engage in this practice. Nor, does it highlight how this practice would even manifest itself. For example, how are these features highlighted? It only gives examples of whitewashing, but not how it’s ethnically sensitive surgery would actually appear.

It reads a lot more like a Google Gemini search result, or an article prompted through chatGPT, and the subject of the article sounds like it was fabricated by the user.

“Surgeons are more than technicians, they are cultural gatekeepers.” I’m pretty sure this was written by an LLM. This phase in particular literally contradicts it’s intended meaning for the sake of Pliny phrasing.

I wonder if this applies to ocean meagafauna. Were humans numerous enough along coastal areas over evolutionarily significant timespans?

My head cannon is that orcas have a robust language and culture, and they have a religion which contains tenates about not harming humans which they developed during the Holocene after generations of mass retaliatory killing by humans.

Life’s too short to pick your partners based on other people’s aesthetic preferences. The whole, ‘is this guy too young for me thing’ is a more complicated choice IMO. Maybe you’re over thinking it. Have you been on any dates recently?

It just looked a lot like an AI image classifier.

I get this way with cooking. Like, I don’t want to cook, prepare, or go out to get food. I’ve found that having other people to cook for makes me much more motivated to prepare meals.

I’ve definitely had trouble finding specific books. There’s a popular book about the local climate here which is only available in print. There is a copy uploaded to archive.org, somebody scaned the whole book in, but it’s unavailable for download or check out.

Have you checked archive.org? Or your local library systems?

Also, there are some books which don’t have audiobooks that I’ve wanted to listen to. The Microsoft edge browser has a read to me mode which is really good. If you can find a book in text form, you can sometimes listen to it that way. I’ve actually converted ePub files into text files just for this purpose.

Welcome! My little tips:

You can change your default sorting. I recommend setting it to hot instead of active.

You can filter things by word content in titles. Useful for filtering out some political content if you need a breather.

Have fun! 😁

No need to be racist! It’s a common joke in the Nicole community.
