If those groups are "left" then your Overton window is fucked.

The yellow bracket is intended to prevent the installation of skimmers. Unfortunately, the design isn't compatible with all of the fixtures they're applied to, and are often enough just not installed correctly... but that's what that part is sold as.

That way lies superdeterminism, which has stood out to me as the most satisfactory explanation for years.

I'm grateful that this bill is taking a much more measured approach than the headline suggests. The bill is targeting specific additives, or "excessive" amounts of added sugar, salt, or fat (exact thresholds unnamed).

"Ultra-processed" gets thrown about as a big food quality bogeyman, but some definitions of the label are as broad as "contains any amount of added sugar". I'm glad California isn't following a standard that extreme.

Not the rampant racism or sexism or simple misanthropy or outright calls to violence or overflowing hostility.

It's the spam that tops the problem list.

I've been taking some online classes these last two semesters, and I can cleanly group my classmates into three categories: the blatant LLM users, the rare students who actually invest themselves, and the majority whose contributions are so cursory that it hardly matters whether they wrote or generated it.

I think it's a reasonable punishment for putting bullets into the air with little idea where they might land—and on whom.

It's not a forest because that kind of growth isn't native, but San Diego has one of the nation's largest urban parks in Mission Trails Regional Park.

Recent can be a generous time period, but it's not unimportant. When I was very young, I was able to enjoy the Hardy Boys and the Chronicles of Narnia, but even in the 90s, just forty years after the latter was written, they both felt very, very old. When I started finding more current writing, like Redwall or Animorphs, I never looked back.

Off by 0.35% in your morning coffee, no problem.

Off from your intended vector by 0.35% when you're moving at 6500 m/s, and you're veering off course by 22 meters every second.

Grapevine says that beyond simple redundancies, ABK's customer service is being gutted in favor of outsourcing.

Well, my apartment building of 36 units has zero exterior outlets, for a start.

Why people still make the appeal to nature fallacy, for starters.

I suspect that was intentional. Lovecraft and many of his peers were anti-Semitic, and crafting names for cosmic horrors that vaguely sounded like Hebrew would mesh with that.

The burst of quests is, last I checked, mostly stuff about unlocking battle pets and allied races.

Not parent, but simply because I don't have the income needed to pack up and get out. No savings, no remote job. Clawing your way up from a start at $8.40/hr takes a long damn time just to reach self-sufficiency, let alone moving across the globe.

I'm going to guess the translations are mechanical, rather than professional?

Saturated fats convert to cholesterol, high values of which is a common health problem. So this sounds like a great health improvement?

The only possible downside I see in this very thin reporting is the usual feel of ickiness some folks get out of an appeal to nature fallacy.

Isn't this just the anthropic principle from a different angle?

It's the same ethical gap that dogs virtually any AI art project. In your example, some other actor did work in exchange for some satisfactory payment (possibly free). In the case of AI synthesis, actors' work is plagiarized without even compensation.

> At its peak, the plant employed over a thousand Navajos, the majority of whom were women. In The Shiprock Dedication Commemorative Brochure released by the Fairchild company, the Diné (Navajo) women circuit makers were celebrated as "culture workers who produced circuits as part of the 'reproductive' labor of expressing Navajo culture, rather than merely for wages." This claim was based on the opinion that circuits of the electronic chips had a mere resemblance with the complex geometric patterns on the Navajo rugs. Paul Driscoll, the Shiprock plant manager, spoke of the "untapped wealth of natural characteristics of the Navajo...the inherent flexibility and dexterity of the Indians." Although highly successful during its operation, the plant was closed in 1975.[18] While the Fairchild corporation claims the Diné women were chosen to work in the Shiprock plant due to their "'nimble fingers'" as previously noted, the women of the Shiprock reservation were actually chosen as the workforce due to a lack of labor rights asserted by the women in addition to "cheap, plentiful workers and tax benefits".[19]

Always love to see updates from this project. Miegakure is the peak of game design: not merely a Skinner box or masturbatory fantasy, it's an honest exploration of what-if, so far outside the realm of our daily 3D experience that the process of modeling it has been something akin to fundamental research.

We already have the concept of a primary residence. I'd strongly support laws that impose fast-ramping tax burdens on further ownership. Possibly with a more modesty burden for a second home—say, a family purchasing one to pass to children, or preparing for retirement—but I don't feel that there's any acceptable reason for owning several homes.

Generally I'm okay with this idea, but considering the audience, I'm particularly curious about the background of the owners and staff. The Catholic Schools stamp in the footer does not instill me with confidence.

There's someone on imgur who's been offering a similar service for fellow imgurites, but I believe they've actually been offering a go at actual translation. (Approximations necessary by the nature of dead languages and the lack of words like "smartphone".)

Which begets the question of why we should allow housing to be an investment.

If they're so intelligent and decent, why are they relying on such disturbing tactics to meet women in the first place?

I don't feel that it's a technicality when the distinction is between a single aisle in the grocery store and a vast swath of foods. Bread is processed, some yogurts and cheeses (although fermentation alone might only qualify as "minimally processed"), many canned foods which add only salt to otherwise unprocessed foods (vegetables, beans, fish, chicken, etc).

By all means, focus your ire on snack foods. Or seed oils. Or whatever the latest trend says is unhealthy.

My point, every time this comes up, is that "processed" is uselessly vague, unless you really do believe that adding any amount of salt/sugar/fat is harmful to human health. I believe that many people using the term do not actually know its definition and merely use it as shorthand for some nebulous set of foods they believe are "too artificial", without seriously considering which aspects of those foods should qualify them for inclusion.

A "processed" food is simply one that has any amount of added salt, sugar, or fat. Many snacks include seed oils, I'm sure, but "nearly all" processed foods certainly do not.
