It is what happened to look good in the valley between the Adderall comedown and yesterday evening's edible really starting to hit

Just had a video labeled "auto-dubbed" pop up in my YouTube feed for the first time. Not sure if it was chosen by the author or not. Too bad, it looks like a fascinating problem to see explained, but I don't think I'm going to trust an AI feature that I just saw for the first time to explain it. (And perhaps more crucially, I'm a bit afraid of what anime fans will have to say about this.)
And the photos from a previous event are an ocean of whiteness. Hard to argue that they're not, uh, cultivating a certain demographic...
I propose we pool funds, buy an old motel on the other side of the city limits in Oakland, and rename it Farthaven
Notwithstanding the subject matter, I feel like I've always gotten limited value from these Oxford-style university debates. KQED used to run a series called Intelligence Squared US that crammed it into an hour, and I shudder to think what that's become in the era of Trump and AI. It seems like a format that was developed to be the intellectual equivalent of intramural sports, complete with a form of scoring. But that contrivance renders it devoid of nuance, and also means it can be used to platform and launder ugly bullshit, since each side has to be strictly pro- or anti-whatever.
Really, it strikes me as a forerunner of the false certainty and point-scoring inherent in Twitter-style short-form discourse. In some ways, the format was unconsciously pared down and plopped online, without any sort of inquiry into its weaknesses. I'd be interested to know if anyone feels any different.
Time magazine is, of course, now a property of Salesforce bobblehead Marc Benioff. So one wonders if there are editorial decisions being made at a high level, much like the Washington Post.
so an alternative, somewhat weaker fireball spell
There aren't really many other options besides Springer and self-publishing for a book like that, right? I've gotten some field-specific article compilations from CRC Press, but I guess that's just an imprint of Routledge.
Considering Tesla's well-documented issues with functional door handles, this may be more accurate than you think
Marginally related, but I was just served a YouTube ad for chewing gum (yes, I'm too lazy to setup ad block).
"Respawn, by Razer. They didn't have gaming gum at Pompeii, just saying."
I think I felt part of my frontal lobe die to that incomprehensible sales pitch, so you all must be exposed to it as well.
Huh, 2 paradigm shifts is about what it takes to get my old Beetle up to freeway speed, maybe big Yud is onto something
