  • I hear you. I had the original doorbell cam, and early outdoor cam, well before google bought them. I was happy with them and knew I'd be selling the house.

  • Timely

  • My cameras are only outside. I have (had) speakers and lights inside. I'm against most of this kind of AI use. It's a ridiculous energy waste for little benefit (I do think there are a number of good ML applications).

  • Okay, thanks (you and others).

  • I came here to mention that I didn't notice that when I originally saw this comic back in the day.

  • Deleted

  • I watched this video of Jack Antonoff showing how he created one of his songs - I think it was "I want to get better" - and it was fascinating. I copied the link so I could show my wife when I got home, but when I went to use it I got a 404. Searched like crazy and was never able to find it.

  • It's hard to tug back when you're kissing the top of her nose.

  • Oh, yeah, I see. Hmm, not sure how I feel about it. I really love soft chocolate chip cookies.

  • I get the sweet/salty thing, but I don't think I'd enjoy the crunchy in with the chewy. They look good though (maybe because you skipped the crunchy/salty mix-ins).

  • A "stok" or "stocc" was there lower part of a post or tree trunk in middle/old English. It became the name for any close-fitting garment that covered the foot and lower leg (stok of a person). So really it's not that the name went from being one thing to being another, it's that both the things you mention fit the definition.

    The other part of the answer to your question is the development of knitting machines able to create stockings from fine cotton or silk thread made the second type of thing more attainable.

  • It's absurd how wildly successful Putin has been.

  • I honestly don't think stupidity explains all of Trump's decisions nearly as well.

  • Here's the one conspiracy theory that always sticks with me because it explains everything. Putin's number one goal for decades has been to destabilize the United States. That's why Russian troll farms have posted things supporting both sides of decisive issues for ages. He doesn't care about the issue, just that Americans fight over them. Trump has been mixed up with the Russian Mafia since his real estate days, and Putin has a lot of dirt on him. Since becoming president, Trump has appointed people most likely to disrupt or destroy the organizations they're in charge of. The person who wants to get rid of the department of education gets put in charge of it. The person who doesn't believe in science and who believes junk conspiracy theories, gets appointed health and human services. Many more examples. The goal is to make the government fall apart.

    So in that context, Hegseth doing this works either way. If he gets the military brass to fall in line and go against the Constitution, Putin wins. If he tries and the military brass goes against the commander in chief, Putin still wins. The goal is destabilizing the country and taking down the government.

  • I'm with you! It was surreal. I found myself thinking, "I'm glad my friend was raised in a repressive christian household." So strange.

  • A bunch of years ago, a buddy of mine was asking me how I went from devout catholic to atheist. At one point in the story, I said I realized that my beliefs in right and wrong, and how we should treat each other, didn't depend on the existence of god - that I would live my life the same way if you could prove there was or wasn't a god. He seemed surprised, so I asked what he'd do differently if it was proven that god didn't exist. He thought for a minute, then said "Well, I might kill someone." I truly didn't know how to process that, especially since the guy was both very kind and gigantic/ripped.

  • I'd ask at schools with college art classes - maybe will have live model sessions.

  • You know, I've seen houndstooth, but it's always been really small. This is the first time I saw it large like this.

  • Not sure what ginham is
