If you live with someone else (who may need to open the door) put it (or a reminder) in (or on) your shoes.

Shifts team to generative AI.
If your car development team can be transferred to AI developement you weren't building much of a car.
Another way of thinking about it is betting your entire bankroll for 99.9....% certainty that you will win $1.
Say you go into the casino with $1000.
Bet:
$1 lose.
$3 lose.
$9 lose.
$27 lose.
$81 lose.
$243 lose.
$729 oh wait you can't bet that much, you only have $457 left. Dang, do you bet $457 or find another $272?
Bet $457 and you win $914! Congrats you're now only down $86!
Or maybe you lost and are down $1000.
Or maybe you scrounged up $272 so you could keep playing
Bet 729 and lose. Now you're down $1272.
Or
Bet 729 and you win 1458. Pay back the $272 you borrowed from your buddy, you're still up $186.
You just bet $729 dollars for a %50 chance of winning $186.
But what are the chances of getting 6 or 7 losses in a row? 1 in 64, or 128 respectively, actually worse because roulette wheels aren't 50/50, they're 18/19 (18 wins and 19 losses in 37 plays on average) or worse. So losing 6 times in a row will happen 1 in 54 plays, 7 losses is 1 in 106.
Google says roulette wheels spin 55 times per hour so with your strategy you will lose your bank roll in about one hour assuming your starting bet is 0.1% of your bank roll.
Hey I love this meme everytime I see it, but I want to point out that that point about growing up in "similar circumstances that nurture their skill' is contingent upon working musicians being able to afford to raise children. Children that will also need to work.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think there is a comparable proportion of the population that are working musicians, that earn enough money to support children, but not so much that the children don't have to learn a trade, as there were in "Enlightenment" Europe where if a person wanted to hear music they had to make it themselves, or pay someone to make it, and every rich asshole had a chamber orchestra following him around.
Also parents don't teach children their trades the way they used to, and they aren't expected to support their parent's businesses the way they used to. (I'm not lamenting this). There used to be a lot of pressure on children to contribute economically. Mozart, and his siblings probably faced what we'd consider child abuse if he didn't practice. He was certainly exploited.
Michael Jackson is a Mozart of the 20th century. He was put to work at a young age to support his parents and siblings, that were also working musicians.
As much as I love Weird Al (and I do) I don't think he was groomed and exploited the same way MJ/WM were. Kudos to his parents for that I guess.
I was taught in boy scouts that an upside down flag is a symbol to request help.
It actually is a good symbol to represent the state of America. Just not for the reasons they think
I think having the FBI arrest the leadership is a better approach than troops killing each other.
You know what's the real bullshit? Listing melted butter as an ingredient. Mother fucker, who keeps melted butter on hand? Make the ingredient oil, or make melting it part of the instructions!
How can I help someone with a gambling problem?
In English the correct way to pronounce something is the way that will most reliably communicate to your intended audience without ambiguity or distraction.
Since my intention is usually to convey my superior knowledge of trivia and/or to stir shit up, I pronounce it with a soft g.
Hey, my cousin started a small business making cricket protein bars. They did taste good, but they absolutely were not for the poor.
Much more of a virtue signaling yuppy thing.
Am I too dense to recognize that everyone is intentionally not saying:

Coquihalla highway has something like this to keep avalanches and rocks off the road.
It's the only tunnel I've driven that has windows.

It's pretty funny, as a person that likes watches, this guy is kinda right that a rolex is analogous to what you were obsessed with in highschool.
But he seems to be ignorant of the fact that watches are objects, girls are people, and highschool kids are dumb. It's super cringe to be obsessed with something just because of how you think it will make other people feel.
I think OP is talk specifically about hot water radiators.
He is asking why those rads specifically can't have cold water piped through them in the summer.
I think the answer for that is: they weren't designed to manage the condensation that would occur if the radiator (or pipe) temperature is lower than the dew point. Also, hot water can be a lot more above room temperature than cold water can be below. I think a lot of radiators are actually supplied with steam, not hot water which also lets them potentially use the latent heat of condensation of the steam for even more heat transfer.
There is a zero percent chance of Biden pardoning him.
If AOC is elected president then maybe.
do not read the comments in this thread if you want any hope of achieving anything today
Isn't he married to an illegal immigrant?
I mentioned my adhd diagnosis in a post earlier today so you may be the same inquirer. Regardless here's a little bit more of my story.
I was born in 1986 and not diagnosed with ADHD until 2021 (I was 35). I didn't do anything about about my diagnosis until 2023 when my career started going off the rails. I sometimes fantasize about what my career would have been like if I'd been diagnosed (and acted on the diagnosis) 15 years ago when I started to suspect something was up.
For me it mostly manifests as struggles to initiate tasks unless they're interesting or urgent.
Is it over diagnosed? Maybe. Our brains evolved to hunt, collect berries, and work collaboratively with our clan. If we struggle do so TPS reports so that shareholders know how their incomprehensible riches are being used, is it fair to call that a mental disorder?
Is paying money to the pharma-man so we can be a better money machine for your bosses shareholders kinda fucked up? Yes.
But will it also help me better support the things I value? My family? My community? My interests? Yes.
I think if you want to know if ADHD is over diagnosed you need a scholarly resource, not an internet forum.
When I was 13 walking home from school the day after a snow day I was berated by a driver that accused me of throwing a snowball at his car. I had done no such thing (that day). I mean message received, I don't think I've thrown a snowball at a car since, but it wasn't me. A few years later I realized it was probably nick.
Good point, what kind of wellness check involves a roadside stop?
It seems quite possible that the police pulled him over to harass him.
Here's a website made by a family member of mine detailing his uncle's flight log from ww2.

If one of my coworkers was accused of raping one of my other coworkers, I'd expect my boss not to send the accused to the field with others until everything was sorted out. Also make sure the complainant isn't pressured to return to the field before ready.
Mozart wasn't wealthy, his customers (patrons) were. His father trained him in the family trade from birth and put him to work at a young age.
He had a lot in common with Michael Jackson in that way, but Michael got insanely rich and Mozart didn't.
we immediately go back to Sinéad O'Connor for Shuhada
Hmmm. I wonder why?
Probably because she continued to use Sinéad O'Connor as her professional name
MI = myocardial infarction?
I live in Canada and there is a university professor that had police visit his house because he took some pictures of an oil project that was being protested while he was on a walking trail near the university.
It was an interview on the cbc several years ago. He was a prof at SFU, I assume it was the trans mountain pipeline expansion.

I did a quick Google 95% of households have a car in America. That's "almost all" but a lot of those households presumably have one car but multiple drivers, the fractions is not easy to determine. So I can't decide if your claim is true or not.
I agree with you that the person you were responding to is not at all in touch with reality though.
President Trump (...) has always insisted on truth and transparency
Lol not the best statement when accused of sharing secrets.
A bit about me for context: I'm Canadian, I have an interest in guns. I do not own any guns. I can imagine myself owning a gun, but don't want one right now. I know a bit about guns, but not a lot. eg Rim fire vs center fire, and that there isn't anything specific that makes a rifle an assault rifle. I support gun regulation but think Canada's recent changes go too far (it's now impossible for a normal citizen to legally obtain a handgun in Canada).
My two cents on this bill:
-
Every responsible gun owner ought to have liability insurance that covers their firearms regardless of whether or not it's required.
-
Objections to such requirements based on the cost of insurance could be overcome in a few ways. Two that occur to me off the top of my head:
a. Individual insurance could be not necessary if the citizen is a member of a well regulated militia (but the state could define what qualifies as a well regulated militia, maybe: shared liability, annual training)
b. The state could offer tax payer funded insurance, for gun owners that agree to certain conditions e.g. gun use, storage (and inspections)
I look forward to the comments.
The small one is to use as a sink when the big one is full of week old dirty dishes.
The most recent phone I purchased does not a 3.5mm jack. It wasn't really a decision I realized I was making, as the phone's previous iteration had had it in an era when that wasn't a given.
There have been a few times that I've missed it, not many, certainly fewer than 10 never a huge deal. But that's infinitely more times than I've thought:
I'm so glad my phone doesn't have a headphone jack.
Next phone will definitely have one because honestly
yeah I might use that
Is enough justification to spend $0.25 (if that) for them to integrate a jack. What stupid cost cutting.
Can a business transact with an animal?
If a crow puts a toonie in a vending machine, and manages to buy chips does it legally own the chips? Or can an agent of the business that runs the vending machine confiscate them and keep the money?

Like yeah I don't, but didn't he curse a fig tree for not having fruit, while it wasn't fig season?
Didn't he get himself executed for like being offended that people were doing business at the temple?
How is that not taking shit personally and arguing with strangers?
You don't think he'd be like coming in hot on a comment chain?
One social media user said imagery of the singer without the hijab points to the glaring lack of Muslim reporters in newsrooms.
So we can't use images of Sinead O'Conner pre-2018 when talking about her legacy and remembering her work?
My guess is that it's probably more like a Muslim would point out that it would be more respectful of the dead to not use a headshot that the dead would consider immodest.
I'm not sure it's that big a deal:
I wear it when I feel like it. There’s no rules as such.
Honestly, I couldn't quite sympathize with her.
Why not?
She complains they were giving her too much to do? Apparently rest of the team also had a lot on their plate as well and most of them are still in the company.
What does that have to do with sympathizing with her?
No sympathy for Chanie Wenjack because lots of his classmates managed to graduate?
I'm not a biblical scholar, like at all, but isn't that exactly the sort of thing he'd say/ do?
If it's something from the freezer(and the expiry is now useless) write the date you thawed/ opened it.
