Kinda hate that they put starving in quotes. It’s a word at that point fellas, I don’t think you need to treat it like a quote. Just makes it look like you don’t think the UN definition of starving is a legit definition.

Not true. It can also end in a cartel.

“Via panjo estas putino” doesn’t roll off the tongue too well.

“Like real pashmina, shahtoosh is also from the Himalayas—it was a choice wrap for the 16th-century Mughal emperor Akbar the Great—but instead of goat hair, shahtoosh is made from the underfur of the chiru, a species of antelope indigenous to the Tibetan Plateau in China. The problem is that these majestic animals must be killed before their wool can be removed. As a result, since 1975, the species has been classified as endangered.”

You should have gone for the head.

I read through the thread.

People were being reasonable. At the worst, they were confused by you wanting the mouse between the keyboard sides.

You were being overreactive.

See the past.

Looks to me like OP came in asking for a type of keyboard that isn’t out there currently and was grating to the responses when different on-the-market solutions were presented, stating that they’re too different from a standard keyboard.

I wasn’t apart of it but I’m not surprised he got downvoted. They went onto an ergo keyboard community and then skoffed at any keyboard that had ergonomic design in mind.

I would say the first book of Dune has a pretty strong amount dealing with family throughout.

Yeah, I pulled open those clips from @zerfuffle and had an “oh damn” moment. It sounds identical.

Something that occurs to me that I can’t really get out of my head is perhaps Israel using it’s iron dome system to intercept missiles so that the shrapnel lands inside Gaza. I don’t know much about the iron dome system, nor what the alternatives to making missile shrapnel fall on civilians are.

If anyone with more knowledge about these things could weigh in, I’d appreciate it.

Alright, gonna be a skeptic.

We’re seeing an Israeli news source followed by an IDF statement with IDF evidence, so a conflict of interest does exist with these sources, though that doesn’t mean either is lying. That being said, if Israel did deliberately target a hospital in Gaza with as many eyes on Gaza as there are, that’d be a really fucking stupid move. At the same time, If they did, lying and completely fabricating everything is in their highest interest. At minimum, though, I think that any trustworthiness one would associate with journalists or military Intel be thrown out, and the evidence be viewed with skepticism

There is also some oppositely damning evidence in circulation. GeoConfirmed apparently did their own locating of where the video occurred, and - if accurate - from the videos perspective, the missile was moving northwest, from the direction of Israel. They are also A third party in this, though, so their bias is not immediately determinable from this one tweet, nor can the factuality be easily confirmed.

We’re still in the fog of war, and simultaneously a war for our minds and support is being waged. I am going to wait for more information from more parties to arrive.

EDIT: I previously stated the tweet I linked claimed the missile was moving north east, which it doesn’t - that’s my misphrasing. The tweet I linked specifically repeats the falling shrapnel story - though the evidence they show shows the camera looking southeast, with the missile coming from said direction towards the camera. I’ve rewritten it to be more clear.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOO

You don’t see calligraphist or scribe as regular jobs anymore. It’s because the automated systems we created via typewriters and text editors were sufficient to replace them wholesale.

Sometimes jobs getting automated does not create sustainable jobs to replace them. That’s just going to happen more often as time goes on.

The big reason is that you’re choosing to spend several hundred dollars to put your still perfectly performant phone in a land fill so you can have a percentage or two more performance.

Your dial up comparison is not really a fair comparison, either. The S9 is not dialup in comparison to Samsung’s new galaxy phones. You’d have to go down to like a BlackBerry or a Nokia flip phone to have that comparison make sense.

I’ve been running a galaxy S9 for years and have never run into a bottleneck with it.

Why do y’all keep needing more and more power packed into your phones? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

Good. Line em up on the wall, they’re just a nuisance to every resident that doesn’t own one.

You’re walking on a path. That’s traceable. Beginner mistake

Autonomous drones made by China have been used in Papua New Guinea to bomb at least one village so I think the US is actually behind the curve in terms of the AI arms race.

This is one of those classical sci-fi apocalypse ideas, where humans make autonomous war machines they can’t turn off, and the machines outlive the humans and continue the war for them.

It should be noted that individuals at the forefront of AI research have a direct bias against saying AI is dangerous. It’s their job, and saying anything which presents this research as dangerous could halt funding, and put them out of a job. It’s also their passion, though, so it’s an even bigger deal for them.

We have also seen individuals who have exited AI research calling for more regulation and ethics requirements. At the same time we are seeing AI ethics departments dismantled. These should stand out as red flags.

Autonomous drones are actively being used to bomb villages in Papua New Guinea. The idea that this kind of tech is “only going to be used for threats of violence and propaganda” is already outdated. It’s being used today, and the US just plans to also adopt the tech itself.

Tumblr’s gone plaid.
