It broke the back of the Catholic church and feudalism. Peasants got their first pay raise… ever.

You’re missing maybe the most important part of this: …eventually. It was at least 40 years after the plague hit, and probably more like 70-100, depending how exactly you’re counting. AKA it might get better after we’re all dead

Mostly just less anonymity. In a large community, you can remain more-or-less unknown. In a town where everyone knows each other, you’re a known entity whether you like it or not.

The US will need to establish a strong immigration policy to absorb people fleeing failing countries/geographies

Why would anyone be running to the US? Do you think people dream of being forced into labor camps?

If they’re actually hitting a cloud LLM, there’s no good reason not to wrap that and memoize the results… it would probably be hard to generalize the inputs (it could just be the whole game state for all we know 🤷‍♂️) but youd build up that database of all the most common input/outputs in real-time

Macron cancelled a tax hike right before the pandemic, IIRC. I can’t think of anything else particularly substantial from the last 10-20

Their blackberry one is my go-to mixer. That, a small splash of lemonade, and some vodka is delicious

I hope Iran takes out the White House and Congress. A small price to pay for a better world.

How would this conversation NOT classify as “send[ing] a[n] electronic record”? There’s very literally no interpretation that would escape it… this was an online chat bot, that only gets messages (record) that you send over the internet (electronic).

You somehow managed to craft a reply that added even less value to the conversation than the one you’re complaining about. Amazing!

What if your dog just growls at a kid, maybe even barks or snaps, but doesn’t touch anyone? Sure, the kid is scared, but it’s not illegal without a very convincing argument in front of a judge, and even then…

…and get immediately laughed out of the office?

The LLMs were locally hosted, that’s like shitting in your toilet so much that you block your own pipes - it very literally doesn’t affect anyone else in any way.

Reverse sear just reverses the order of cooking.

A “normal” sear is you putting the raw steak on the pan, and that frying is what actually cooks the steak, from the outside in.

A reverse sear cooks the steak first, getting the whole thing to (or close to) temp, and then very quickly searing the outside at very high heat - the speed means the inside doesn’t cook much more, but you still get the delicious crispy bits on the outside. It tends to give you a more even cook inside and a better sear outside - the only drawback is that there are more steps and it takes longer 🤷‍♂️

The wolf shirt on that one is just peak

It just quickly got old and repetitive,completely uninspired rehashing of the same problems and storylines. Season 1 is gold, 2 is decent, don’t bother past that

Girls at 13 is much more egregious, IMO

You can’t “um akshually according to a study” your way out of the real harm that came from the online left running a scorched earth campaign against the lesser evil.

Once again, if everyone who had previously voted for Biden and everyone who voted left all voted for Kamala, she still lost the election. Maybe if we stopped putting up bad candidates, they could actually defeat MAGA? But no, it can’t be the DNC’s fault, they’re clearly infallible.

Great appeal to emotions instead of actually focusing on the impact you could have 👌

History and statistics don’t agree with you. If every leftist in the country voted for Kamala, she still lost. Your demand for constant compromise of human rights has led to their decline. Refusing to entertain non-right candidates has given us the ratchet effect that led to your daughter’s suffering. Great job advocating for the strategy that hurts her, though!

Nah, it’s not a bluff. Stop putting up shitty right-leaning centrists or lose. I’m done fighting for shitty people, and I have the means to leave 🤷‍♂️ selfish? Of course. I don’t care, anymore. The DNC can get their shit together or die.
