It is crazy to me that they are doing all of this in clientside javascript

Maybe they were intending green guy to be more discriminating, but he planned to double cross them. Or just another layer of miscommunication on top of the cake mixup.

Absolutely

The way I understand it, avoiding being in the same room is ideal, but the main thing is just not actually being in bed when you're browsing the internet or whatever

Don't they publish the source code?

Firefox protects your privacy by running AI models directly on your device, ensuring your sensitive data remains local

Good enough for me. The privacy problem with AI is when they are web services you send all your data to for processing. If that isn't happening, that problem is fully solved.

The whole idea that the skin color of your grandchildren being out of your hands is somehow comparable to ethnic cleansing is so twisted and whiny. Like they think it's important not only that people be biologically related to them, but also not be related to others, and if they aren't getting this then it's a violent imposition, even where nobody is being forced or coerced in any way.

When I started doing home maintenance stuff I thought, $10 seems like a lot when the other stuff probably works just as good as silicone caulk. Turns out no, silicone is really good at keeping water out and other options are often useless.

For cryptocurrency if it isn't dropping by 15% or more in one day I don't think you can really even call it a crash.

otoh there are plenty of situations where a state or culture would prefer that you kill yourself and actively expresses that preference. The need to dispose of a body isn't really that much inconvenience relatively speaking.

For me the most effective tip has been, don't spend time in bed/bedroom other than for sleeping, that way your body will take the cue from your surroundings and recognize it's sleep time.

It’s nuts that our health insurance is tied to employment here in the US.

Even more nuts that they specifically want it to be that way to coerce people into working in order not to be left to die

Ms. Chatman was struck, in part, by her own experiences at the school in contrast to Mr. Damsky’s award. She had proposed teaching a class during her time there called “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.” But administrators at the law school changed the name to “Entrepreneurship,” she said, before listing it in the course catalog.

She attributed the change to Florida lawmakers’ crackdown on diversity-oriented language and themes in public education, a push that preceded the Trump administration’s broader war on progressive ideology.

Sounds like the college agrees, though maybe not about which ones

This is a multiplayer freemium game though, I don't think there are any cracked servers for it, and supposedly there are options for Epic users to retain their accounts with things they've bought (the game is also apparently kind of p2w).

I'd like to offer the counterpoint that someone once advised me not to try weed until after I'd tried LSD, I followed that advice and I think it turned out for the better. There isn't exactly a benefit to being very impressed by the intensity of other drug experiences, and psychedelics can give you a sense of perspective about what you want out of life that's useful for navigating choices. They also tend to be self-deterring; you likely will feel more satisfied and grateful to have your feet on solid ground again after a trip, as opposed to immediately craving more, even if it was wonderful, which is a very convenient property many other drugs lack.

“It’s just that — neutrality,” she added. “The government — in this case, our public university — stays out of picking sides, so that, through the marketplace of ideas, you can debate and arrive at truth for yourself and for the community.”

Some at the law school agree with her stance. In an interview, John F. Stinneford, a professor at the university, said that it would be “academic misconduct” for a law professor who opposed abortion to give a lower grade to a well-argued paper advocating abortion rights.

This makes sense to me as a principle, but the idea that the paper is genuinely making a good argument seems really questionable.

Among originalists, though, this interpretation [apparently that “We the People,” refers to white people, and therefore the constitution applies to them exclusively] has been widely rejected. Instead, conservatives have argued that much of the text of the Constitution “tilts toward liberty” for all, said Jonathan Gienapp, an associate professor of history and law at Stanford. They also note that the post-Civil War amendments guaranteeing rights to nonwhite people “washed away whatever racial taint” there was in the original document.

Sounds like not even other originalists take it seriously. On its face the idea seems really stupid, since the wording of that part of the constitution doesn't involve race, and whiteness has always been a very loosely defined concept with a lot of ambiguity that wouldn't be a natural fit for a legal principle. So maybe the paper is getting a high grade and an award is itself a display of personal bias.

I don't regularly drink coffee, one time I had a big cup made by someone who drinks a lot of coffee, what happened was my face went all tingly and numb and I felt like I was gonna pass out (I was on the highway and there were no bathroom stops so it was extra bad). People who don't think of caffeine as a drug are just incorrect.

I'll admit, I changed the difficulty to easy for the final level

I think this arc is my favorite
