I guess I’ll be holding onto my Toyota 2004 Camry until the day I die.
I hate this kind of sneaky behavior. I hope GM and/or LexisNexis gets torn asunder during the civil litigations. Google has had this data for years… I must assume they aren’t providing it to insurance companies yet.
But yeah the adults should have known better. In addition, they should have at least been wise enough to not risk children. They are weaker, smaller, and more susceptible to dying from those things.
I feel bad for the children and their families.
I don’t know much about Zanzibar but it’s possible they were just naive to the ill effects.
I hope this is allowed by the mods since it isn’t a comic strip itself, just a panel from one, but it shows an artistic expert that you wouldn’t think of as being one at work....
Those are dope. I think it’s funny that the top comic has shadows always under the character. It exposes something about the drawing style the artist uses. It’s like the character is the origin of the rest of the scene: lights, setting, etc. I’m sure they just didn’t think too hard about it but it’s interesting.
Edit’: actually, technically, it looks like the lamp would cast that shadow. So it kind of makes sense lol
Genocide is clearly defined, in my opinion. It’s just that it’s hard to prove. Much like hate crimes can be hard to prove. Unless Israel comes out and states their intentions behind the violence, NATO is tied. But America does not need to be providing the weapons or the funds to keep this massacre going. And genocide or not, the violence is wrong.
AFAIK Cardassians were pretty bad. They enslaved an entire planet of people. I believe the mining operations were concentration camps for the slaves.
This is the definition in Wikipedia:
In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”. These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.
Gaza has been experiencing all of that: murders, bodily harm, mental harm, etc. By way of example they are being starved out - not because they are terrorists but because they are part of a nation state/race which Israel is targeting.
I agree with you. Words are slippery. Dig too deep into any word and the meaning can become elusive. What is rain? Is it when water falls down from a cloud? Do we have to define the state of matter? How quickly does it fall? Is chemically induced rain still “rain”? Words are not as clear as we think they are at first glance. Genocide is no different.
I just feel like these people need to take a step back and realize that this violence is wrong. It’s not self-defense and it’s not aimed at evil people. Good, kind, people are being torn to shreds. Those people deserved to have a chance to wipe sleep out of their eyes, eat a nice meal, drink fresh water, and speak once more. I don’t really know how we would be more “actionable”. I don’t want a reckless UN that goes around ruling with an iron fist at any whiff of international dispute. But I also don’t want a weak UN that is too scared or unwilling to do the right thing when the issues are clear.
Yeah but the market sets the price. This is capitalism. If you want to change the price, don’t go there. Pick a cheaper clinic. There are plenty of hospitals. It’s up to the consumer to price shop, emergency or not. I’m sure the Mayo clinic is making razor thin margins.
That theorem basically says any problem can be solved computationally in a reasonable amount of time.
The P versus NP problem is a major unsolved problem in theoretical computer science. In informal terms, it asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified can also be quickly solved.
The informal term quickly, used above, means the existence of an algorithm solving the task that runs in polynomial time, such that the time to complete the task varies as a polynomial function on the size of the input to the algorithm (as opposed to, say, exponential time).
If you prove P is not equal to NP, then we can probably assume the simulation isn’t being run.
But that assumes a lot. Who is to say how a universe outside our universe might behave? Maybe they aren’t constrained in the same ways we are for some unfathomable reason.
Feasible? Sure. Pick 2 people randomly during that time? Unlikely. I have nothing against diversity. And I have nothing against an AI being encouraged to produce diverse outputs. I do think it’s a clear indicator of the internal prompts that guide the AIs choices.

As title says I have a direct attached storage attached to a Linux machine (that used to be windows). Said raid system started as being called ./Raid and is now after 2 restarts of of the lap top it is now ./Raid2. Is there a way to make it not change names every time I do a restart. I did some looking online but don’t want to...
What’s the end goal here? You should be able to use fstab to mount the drive to a particular folder on every boot. That should allow you to access the mounted folder consistently.
I parked behind one yesterday. Dude backed up into my car during my brunch. He comes into the restaurant to fess up. I tell him I’m the owner. He was nice enough. All he did was put a square dent in my license plate and bent it. I told him it’s an old car and that it’s ok. But as we were walking to my car he said “you parked close behind me and I couldn’t see it as I backed up”. I had half a mind to make a remark about having a clean, lifted, truck that probably hasn’t hauled anything in 2 years, but I just shut up and let bygones be bygones.
Still, I hope that guy realizes having a 9ft truck isn’t worth the sweat every time he backs up. I have a Toyota Camry. Not the fanciest thing in the world. It’s 20 years old and I do most of the work on it. So I’m not phased by a dent in the license plate (and possible minor trauma to the bumper). But it’s the kind of car that a lot of people own. If he can’t see that, he probably should consider lowering his lifted truck. Or perhaps learning to look behind his car before he hops in and tries to exit a parking space.
People like that probably will never learn. They are buying an aesthetic, not a tool. It’s like buying a high caliber pistol, an expensive phone, or a McMansion. It’s not about having a tool. It’s about having a sense of visible identity.
Based on my long rant, I can tell I have not entirely “let bygones be bygones” despite shaking his hand and letting him drive away without a lick of shame.
