This.

The fact that this man is not an international hero and household name is a crime. WE ARE LITERALLY ALL ALIVE BECAUSE HE TOOK TWO SECONDS TO DOUBLE-CHECK THE SYSTEM.

Also - apparently this is something she has in common with her mother. Grandma used to complain every time she saw me with long hair. It was rather funny the one time she said, "when are you going to cut that hair?!" and I just turned my head to show that I already had (obviously, a long time ago)

HAHAHA! To be fair, I've actually been wanting to get my hair cut short again, but when I've got the energy for it, I don't have the time, and when I have the time, I don't have the energy...

This isn’t about drivers licenses.

Mills would also vote the same way a progressive would the vast majority of the time, while Plattner gives off vibes of being the next Fetterman or Sinema - where they run as a progressive, then turn sharp right once in office

It’s weird, because it’s not like Janet Mills is terrible. Yes, she’s older and more moderate, but she’s won statewide elections for Governor, so would be a strong candidate vs Collins.

This is a history lesson in why the incompetent drunkard and the brain dead pedophile shouldn’t be allowed to replace human judgment with AI.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I know this seems heartless of Nintendo - but it’s worth noting that Trademark law doesn’t give them a choice to overlook this. Unlike copyright law, trademarks require the owner to enforce it or otherwise they lose it.

"The refs should get out of the way and let the players decide the game". As if letting players break the rules isn't the refs impacting the result of the game.
The general Don Cherry attitude about hockey, really.

My basic point is just that NHL refs aren't really biased towards or against any particular team. They're just deliberately bad at doing what is supposed to be their job: calling penalties when players break the rules.

dawg🥹

Bear in mind, I'm American, so I'm not inclined to help make excuses for Team Canada. If anything, I'm inclined to blame Canadian attitudes about hockey for why NHL refs are the way they are!

Can NHL refs keep up with high speed games? Yes.
Have they been statistically proven to generally even out penalties? Also yes.
Do NHL refs frequently decide to keep their whistles in their pockets when obvious penalties are committed right in front of them with them watching? Also yes.

Connor Hellebuyck: Welcome to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

This is just the result of the Olympics making the mistake of using NHL referees who just generally don’t like to call penalties, but especially if it would mean one team would get more power plays than the other.

Olczyck on Team USA: “They need someone to make a play.”
Yeah, someone like Jason Robertson, maybe?
OH WAIT

The only way to send a message is to vote. If you don’t vote, you’re just part if the plurality of Americans who don’t vote at all - your “message” is just noise. Voting in the primary is how you send a message.

To further expand on my prior repost: vote blue no matter who is just for the general election, and assumes the general is a democrat vs a republican. Vote your ideals in the primary, then least damage in the general.

You'd *still* rather have Fetterman in the Senate than Oz.

You'd WAY rather have Cortez Masto than Adam fucking Laxalt, who's insane.

Corey Booker? Are we pretending he's a problem now?

Newsom is a slime - and still a better governor than Brian Dahle would've been

THINK! CRITICALLY!

To be clear, I love this because it shows that genAI isn't doing any sort of logical deduction, it isn't "thinking" or reasoning. It's just a pattern matcher. It doesn't deliver on what its promoters claim it can do.

I love this, because this is a perfect illustration of how genAI doesn't actually reason through anything, it's just matching patterns it has seen before.
When humans write, we pretty much never write out all the numbers from 1-100. The "and so on to 100" is pretty common in writing.

Just about every feature I've ever added to the robots I work on has ended up being used in some way I had never envisioned when I designed it. This is more a matter of "necessity is the mother of invention", than any sort of act of resistance, though 😂

Think of it this way - they were able to become an interstellar species using only materials from Lothlorien. Seems like that would require them to be rather good! 🤣

It's amazing how easily the whole concept of "white identity" or "white culture" breaks down once actually questioned. And not with any sort of gotcha questions, but just simple, basic ones.
(That's because it's really just racism trying to pretty itself up in classier language).

Post a banger that’s not in English:
I think something like 10% of my Goth/Industrial/EBM music collection is not in English. And that might be an underestimate.
I’ve got at least 4-5 languages to choose from.
So let’s go with Punto Omega from Argentina:

Okay, here me out on a new Winter Olympic sport:
Ice Rythmic Gymnastics Martial Arts.
All the competitors in the rink at the same time along with various rythmic gymnastics implements (hoops, ribbons, pins, etc). The goal is to get your opponents to fall down and be the last one standing.

It’s weird that conservatives are worked up over not being able to understand Spanish lyrics. I mean, considering how many of them have claimed to like Rage Against The Machine, it’s clear that the lyrics can be in English, and they still won’t understand them.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, they ain’t” (credit to Yogi Berra for this one).

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds Findings suggest physical performance in trans women converges toward that of cis women over time

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...
