And to add a platitude: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”

The paleontologist reconstruction does better match the deadliness of a hippo, much more so than real life does.
That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com
Although the fact they're developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas
You can of course always be skeptic, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. I would argue most opinions shared by nearly everyone are probably valid.
As long as they don't start building tunnels under their house because they're an 'engineer'...
God forbid we... checks notes... prevent tooth decay!
I feel this breaks the 'no goofs' rule
Yeah, this feels like coming home. I tried the other options, but none felt as smooth or as customisable as this.
It's impossible to say what prehistoric people were thinking or wanting. You can only look at how they lived their lives, or how later peoples organized their society. The main thing is that there isn't one way of living, some societies were hierarchical and probably materialistic based on grave goods and burials, some societies clearly had prosocial tendencies based on remains of people with disabilities showing care and nourishment.
If you want a detailed look on the topic, there's "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity", a book by Graeber and Wengrow, which also talks about the huge diversity of social models in old communities of humans.
Similar in France, also airco giving you all kinds of symptoms
I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.
It's an interesting discussion to have about consent/medical choices, but the fact is that many people don't have the knowledge/resources to go out and do that, and for them it's a benefit without proven drawbacks
It refers to the annexes you see growing out of the back of the house. People used to (and sometimes still do) start with a modest house, and then as time went on and money came in, build out into the yard, adding a new kitchen, toilet, shed, veranda, etc.
It has since also come to refer to things that get extended and patched up over time without a lot of coherence or forethought, like our tax codes (they just add rules, bonuses, penalties, etc. on top of the baseline instead of doing a thorough tax reform)
I would guess that's hot vapor, not steam. Actual steam is invisible and will burn you
I'm gonna read that as 'disemballed', which just means they lose all their golf ballls
Oh god, that's not even unrealistic
This is Belgium, it's a great example of what we call "koterijen"
It's a fake ad created as a joke in Top Gear by Jeremy Clarkson
In Dutch you can say "you sneezed"
stole this idea from a tiktok, it's a dog thinking the parade for the pope in Mexico, 2012, was for him
For me, I did have some issues getting to a good user experience on android. Now that Sync is out, I expect to engage a lot more :)
The Last Jedi was one of the best Star Wars movies, and Luke's redemption arc was great, even if the setup for it was rushed.
Wouldn't it be Divinity 7?
Unpopular opinion because it's so recent, but I think Starfield is/will be in this category
And in conjunction with that, though not an ingredient: microplane. Great for zest, hard cheese, (Frozen) ginger,...
Those play to earn games, unless there is some weird magical source of outside revenues, are all convoluted ponzi schemes, though. The only money coming in is from new players (it takes hundreds or more dollars to join Axie Infinity, for example). You can earn real money while the game is growing, but as soon as growth stops, the whole system collapses
Which games are you considering to mod? 3, 4, New Vegas, older?
I have to disagree here. Disclaimer: I work for a bank but not super into the core financial stuff. Firstly, banks are already super heavily regulated; anti money laundering, terrorism financing, know your customer, etc. The reason crypto takes minutes for international transfers and banks can take days isn't because of technology, it's all of those checks on fraud happening. All the money leaving a bank account is, barring very advanced fraud, with the user's consent, but in fraud cases this is often done via social engineering (calling someone to get their codes from their bank card reader, or pretending to be a family member in need).
But to build on your analogy: we don't make regulations based on a religious doctrine anymore in most countries. If your religion says no one is allowed to wear mixed fabrics or eat pork, that's fine if you're not doing that, but we're not banning those things for all of society.
There's about as much proof for an existential AGI threat as there is for a deity, so let's not make policies based on either, and focus instead on real potential and already proven harms of AI
I always knew I'd die crushed by the Côte d'Azur.
The problem with the Turing test and current AI is that we didn't teach computers to think, we taught them to talk.
It's not worth it, and while the transphobia is absent, the antisemitism is still there
He'd probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode
Which makes water lava, technically speaking
Quick pickled red onions are the bomb. They go with so much!
I was interested in the ltt screwdriver until I found out there's not pozidriv in it. That's like 80% of the screws here in Europe (all of ikea, for instance)
Do you think I need to play the first 2 before this one?
What can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to boot. I have a very hard time believing any of this mess.
