Neither of these topics should even be drawing media attention, considering how frequent and non-notable they are. They just report on this stuff every day because it’s cheaper and easier than exclusively finding and reporting on real notable local news, and television news needs filler content for selling ad spots. Ever had a day where there was no news, and they ended early?
Idk if this anatomy is accurate for terrestrial snails too, but to be fair for aquatic snails the turds float away immediately.
In India, this kind of thing is common, especially when the beggars are children.
Praying is just talking to your imaginary friend, and having it tell back to you what you want to hear.
These elected representatives are no more mentally developed than elementary school children. Must be from a state full of lead pipes.
“I don’t live on this property, I just use it for storing my RV.”
Tall shrubs/trees all around, get a PO box. Don’t show your neighbors around.
Exactly what is going to compel local police to get a warrant to enter the property and somehow confirm you live in that RV full time?
These kinds of laws are crafted by elected legislators who are either truly inept, or only interested in performative gestures to boost their image. A law without realistic enforceability is mostly imaginary, and primarily serves just to tack extra charges onto some other sentence a person got for breaking a law local police actually enforce.
They finally pissed off the mouse. AI image generators are cooked.
Sure, but I don’t think the price balance was historically close to today. Appliances may have been, relatively speaking, a much bigger investment to the point where paying a repair technician for a service call was usually the better option. Today, not so much.
I have a ten year old Samsung washer. It started leaking badly a couple years ago. I opened it up and replaced one small rubber tube for $5. If I had to pay someone $500 to fix it, I’d have been better off buying a whole new appliance. I won’t be surprised if this is the only repair I have to do for many more years.
I suspect this is actually what’s changed - labor is so expensive compared to the cost of the machine that people replace their appliance with a new one because it’s only a little more than fixing their old one. And when they replace, they tend to think of the old brand as bad, and look for a new brand.
So everyone has negative stories about their appliances across just about every brand, except Speed Queen because those are so expensive, you’ll actually pay a repair person to fix it instead of replacing it. It’s like how some sports car brands are notoriously high maintenance, but what Ferrari owner cares about maintenance costs?
Decades ago the relative cost of a washer or dryer was much higher compared to repair labor. You’d pay the Maytag man to come fix your dryer if it had a problem.
It’s like a gambling addiction. “Just one more prompt, it’ll definitely do all the work for me correctly if I just tweak this verbiage.”
don’t understand what they’ve written
Well first of all, they didn’t write it.
It is not expensive, assuming you don’t mind giving someone else your microplastics. In fact, you can get paid about $100 to do it in most places. How? Apharesis is exactly what is performed when donating plasma.
Someone wearing a mask tries to kidnap you, draw your handgun and put a hole in their face. I’m surprised this exact situation hasn’t landed in the supreme court yet. Pretty sure it won’t be favorable to the masked goons.
This shows that the way to get rid of landmines is not to have countries sign a piece of paper. It’s to give them a better alternative, whether it’s literally peace, or another dirt-cheap area denial defensive weapon that isn’t indiscriminate. Because the paper is worthless once real stakes are on the line.
I think autonomous drones will eventually supplant landmines. Whether that’s better or worse, I don’t know.

Kroger diet cola. It’s better than diet coke. Always fucking out of stock though around me.
At least with social media, you can choose what content to engage with or scroll past. A lot of TV news is fear mongering non-news entertainment. I don’t care that someone got arrested after a high speed chase. I don’t care about someone’s dog charity. What your local Sinclair is peddling, let alone Fox, is just about getting you to come back over and over for the ads, and it’s a continuous feed of trash someone else is deciding to put in your face and dub important.
Feeds also often let you mark content as “not interested” to better personalize for what you consider relevant and newsworthy. So, it’s not necessarily a one-way street there either.
Try looking for crops to grow that are nutritious but relatively low maintenance. Sweet potatoes, sunchokes, groundcover strawberries, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, etc. Bonus if you can grow excess to sell at local farmers markets for some extra income, though the easiest the grow ones probably won’t fetch a great price and on one acre I doubt you’ll have extra of anything. Also, look for native options. Less maintenance, and local pollinators are more likely to help out.
If you’re not squeamish and can get enough extra space with an enclosure, rabbits breed very quickly and just eat grass. Chickens are good for eggs and meat.
Nobody is forcing athletes competing in this event to seek medical approval and prescription for the use of performance enhancing drugs by physicians with no moral qualms doing so. Witold is not any athlete’s personal physician, and is not qualified to speak about medical concerns. He is a former sprinter turned politician. WADA’s role is to serve sporting events by preventing performance enhancing drug usage that those events consider unfair during competition.
If someone is choosing to take a performance enhancing medication in this “Enhanced Games” event and is harmed by it, that’s between them (or their estate 😂) and their doctor, and whatever malpractice suit is brought about to a court of law.
Summarization is one of the things LLMs are pretty good at. Same for the other thing where Wikipedia talked about auto-generating the “simple article” variants that are normally managed by hand to dumb down content.
But if they’re pushing these tools, they need to be pushed as handy tools for editors to consider leveraging, not forced behavior for end users.
Crunch uses scammy tactics to stop you from canceling. They lied to me twice to my face. Tried to charge me a fee too on cancel. Can also only cancel in person at the original signup gym. Pick a better business to deserve your money.
