Who leaves their infant in an IVF clinic? If I walk out with the flask they’ll suspect me of arson. If I walk out with the baby, who knows. Call 911 and let the fire fighters save the rest of the buildings occupants.

Amish or Rastafarian should pass as well.

Hope you can get a low dose of lithium to stabilize without diminishing your experience.

I learned in a forest health class:

The only sure way to eliminate a pest, is to eliminate the host.

So, if you don’t consume any media, your ad consumption will drop significantly. Billboards? Maybe you should consider a Banksy perspective. And if none of that succeeds you could always talk to your doctor about blindness, or deafness.

Creative calling card for plumbers. Toilet last serviced on…

Okay I don’t like to group people at all but you asked so I’ll explain what I think it is, having worked with colleagues from many different Asian countries. Asian-Americans are raised by parents with a strong work ethic imposed, as you said. But Asian immigrants sometimes have trouble with English.

I took an exam for a state position once and more than half of it was very basic and language focused. The exam basically screened out non-native English speakers, checking for common mistakes like lack of pluralization, or incorrect verb conjugation. So, this has been going on before AI screening.

Has this ever happened and led to a conviction? Seems far-fetched to me but I am privileged in many ways. I’m sorry that this is even a possibility in some places.

I suppose the nefarious use of that data would be targeted ads? Also, I track my wife’s cycles by observing the lunar cycle. Maybe some people are less regular or some people want more data logging but the moon is a pretty good indicator. Would recommend looking at it from time to time.

The biggest use case for Gemini is the enshittification of Google Search.

No bueno. Need to get rid of the car parking or move it to the sidewalk. Bikes can’t be hidden behind cars. Protected elevated bicycle lanes should be in the middle, replacing the turn lane. They need to see and be seen. This is dangerous at all driveways and intersections.

I would love if standard IP addresses used hex by default. C0.A8.1.1 or 7F.0.0.1

🎵 We took this trip to Garden Grove, it smelled like methyl methacrylate 🎵

Publicly traded corporations do not have empathy. They have no loyalty to the employees, only to the shareholders and to profit. Why is this surprising to anybody? It’s not about Meta or AI, this has been happening for decades in tech and outside of tech. Mass layoffs are a part of capitalism in the USA.

Emby is jellyfin with extra support and development. The apps came out earlier and for more platforms. It supports IPTV. Theres some pretty responsive forum support. Jellyfin may have these things too, but I chose Emby at the time for its native WebOS app.

Joking aside, I do have a lifetime subscription to Emby, which shares a lot of the same code as Jellyfin. But the lifetime subscription was $99 which I viewed as a thank you donation to the developer(s). In the past 5 years or so it has been an excellent value.

I’ve had some success with binaural beats. It’s two pure sin wave tones - one in each ear. The tones are out of tune with each other so it has a bit of a wavy or pulsing sound. But they’re close enough to sound like one note and not two. Apparently the difference between these two waves gets entrained into your brain waves even though you can’t hear it. My favorites are 94 hz carrying a 3 hz differential, 96 hz carrying a 4hz differential, and 115 hz carrying a 5 hz differential. I’m using an app called Binaural Beat Gen by TMSOFT. Anyway the very low brain waves are delta waves associated with deep sleep. In a way, it’s hacking your brain to sleep.

Potatoes naturally were toxic nightshade (all parts). To be domesticated they had to be eaten with clay, which absorbs the toxin. There are still some varieties eaten with clay.

This has nothing to do with CarPlay or Android Auto. This is about an OBD port and Bluetooth app to connect to the car computer.

Privacy experts suggest not using a cellular phone at all.

My old (2005?) Swatch skin was similar but it had no ring to contrast the hands. It’s kind of a cheat watch since it ticks once every 15 seconds, and doesn’t carry a second hand. But I did enjoy it until the face got severely scratched. Don’t reach behind stuff with your watch hand.

Building houses won’t solve the problem. It’s a good idea but it’s expensive and prefab isn’t going to solve it. Building codes and permits really slow things down and put them into the hands of expensive experts, effectively prohibiting self-building.

Two big things would help. First, remove the profit from housing. Tax basis for the parcel is re-assessed any time rent is increased. Rent itself can be used as a valuation - monthly rent times 360 is the tax basis.

Second is to aggressively build homeless encampments. Camp sites with canvas tents, storage lockers, trash service, and hot showers. This will house those who refuse to pay for housing, and also those who need a minute to get back on their feet. Most cities have huge vacant lots being eyed by developers. Dignified but not enabling.
