  • Sorry, $204/yr is not enough for me to keep tabs on someone else’s festishes. Especially not those of a Republican congressman.

  • Why change the time for everyone when you can just adjust “working” hours. People who do shift work or work retail and other non- white-collar jobs are collateral damage. Roofers and farmers change their start and stop times baes on light and heat conditions.

    Just start at a different time. Time is based (roughly) on the global position from a reference mark. Stop fucking with it.

  • Except that a lunar cycle is 29.5 days long.

    The Jews recognized this and their calendar runs akin to it (https://www.timeanddate.com/date/jewish-leap-year.html), but with 7 "leap months" occurring over the course of 19 years. Of course, then they fuck it up with extra or fewer days to keep certain holidays from falling on certain days of the week. You win some, you lose some.

  • Standard east pole counter-magnetic influence in the surface normal vector plane.

  • I’m just curious if there’s been any verifiable accounts that he has stopped beating his wife.

  • You know what needs to be added to this? Cars. The amount of body damage needed to “total” most cars is almost trivial these days.

  • The reply should be, “Who should we be working with to draw equitable borders to ensure security? We’re not just asking for supplies, we’re forging local alliances to work on future solutions. “

  • I accidentally ended up in the middle of this, and there was genuinely a huge turnout. It was good to see, and quite uplifting.

  • I missed mine by 2 months and now it’s part of an expensive your@name.com email service so I’ll never get it (but google reminds me to check every year). I settled for my surname.org; I still had to scoop it up in the early 90s to get it.

    I really want the .inc for my personal non-profit, but not for the $2500/yr the registrar wants for it.

  • Look, Elon, X is never going to be a “thing”. Just get over it and move on.

  • I wouldn’t mind the various levels of there were a simple, consistent marking standard for speed and power rating.

  • It’s past serving it’s purpose. It drew lots of people and filled government and real estate coffers when the city was down, but now it’s a net drag because the people dropping €6M on an apartment don’t want the common riff raff (anyone able to spend less than €800/night on a hotel room) from disturbing their peace and smelling like skunk all the time.

    (Okay, there are technically only a couple places in the city on the market for €6M, but with prices quickly approaching €10000/m2 all but the rich and snobby are getting shoved out)

  • I’ll do you one better - I’m going to pirate every apple show I watch just do they don’t get my money.

    I refer to this tactic by its official name: “How I watch everything already.” 🏴‍☠️

  • The n the contrary, if doxxing is a crime and he meets the letter of the law he should be charged with that instead. And held without bond. Let him sit in jail without a phone until his lawyers successfully appeal the bond ruling.

  • It’s not the up front cost that makes the investors money, it’s the maintenance plan.

  • My takeaway from the article was that Your photos are no longer real because the AI portions have altered the image captured. Your face has been cleared of wrinkles and blemishes, your eyes made larger and rounder, your aging features reduced without your knowledge or input. Of course, with your input your proportions could be manually or automatically enhanced, but also the sky replaced with a more interesting one, or people or objects “in the way” of your desired composition removed and replaced with mimicry in the background.

    The adjustments available - both automatic and manual - for balance, clarity, and color temperature have always been available in analog film, even if only to a limited extent in either film selection or in developing. The AI enhancements available in modern software, especially those baked into the Camera apps which are automatic, can be far more manipulative.
