That sounds like most administrators/departments heads where I’ve worked over the years. Always looking for the way to look good with the least amount of effort.

I’m sure it has, my main thought is this focus on AI is essentially deflecting from systemic issues and without actually addressing those the problem will continue to get worse with or without AI.

I understand the fear of technology stunting critical thinking but LLMs are pretty darn recent, what happened to these highschoolers the last 14-15 or so years that left them with little to no reading or critical thinking skills? Where is the talk of parental involvement, teachers and educational systems prior to this?

Teachers have an incredibly hard job but the constant stream of these articles feels more like they’re trying to pass off the failures of our education system and failures of parents/society for decades onto the admittedly retarded technology that’s very recently entered existence…

I miss the glass and translucent looks, the flat boring look of today is very bleak and dystopian looking imo. Don’t miss vista though, that was what started my move to Linux (with Compiz fusion and as many of the ridiculous effects as my poor $300 laptop could handle).

For the tomatoes you might see if there’s canning groups on Facebook for your area? It takes a metric fuck-ton of tomatoes to make a can of sauce so they’d likely be able to use quite a bit of them.

The way they’re going it’s not gonna be long before we start hearing about hospitals not being required to treat you in the ER without proof you can pay to keep costs down

0% interest is not really accurate in the laypersons sense though. They make money off of “fees” that totally aren’t interest, they’re just the equivalent to payday loan type interest if you calculated the rate. Some are within affordability if you pay quickly but skyrocket after the 90 day mark as well.

They sell a dock that supports up to 4K for tvs, I’d guess for that. It’s capable of doing that fairly well on less intensive games.

Perhaps a stupid follow up but what would this mean for things necessary for survival like food and water? Would I theoretically starve on that 4 year trip before I even realized I needed water?

How exactly is this not considered murder for all parties involved in a decision like this?

I shop for two people and buy 2 days food at a time. On average each store visit have been $30 at Safeway, $26 at Kroger and $19 at Walmart. These large grocery chains are massively screwing people and the only difference I can find is at least Safeway doesn’t try to trick you with bullshit pricing.

 

Amid a massive recall in 2021, the medical device maker Philips raced to overcome troubling questions about its replacement machines as customers waited for help.

 

Hopefully this means he’ll be getting healthy soon

A Texas prisoner who is facing execution having been sent to death row on the basis of “shaken baby syndrome”, a child abuse theory that has been widely debunked as junk science, has had his petition to the US supreme court denied.

The country’s highest court issued its denial on Monday morning giving no explanation. Robert Roberson, 56, who was sent to death row in 2003 for shaking his two-year-old daughter Nikki to death, had appealed to the justices to take another look at his case focusing on the largely discredited forensic science on which his conviction was secured.

The court’s decision leaves Roberson’s life in jeopardy. Having come within four days of execution in 2016, he has already exhausted appeals through Texas state courts and must now rely on the mercy of the Republican governor Greg Abbott who rarely grants clemency.

“Robert Roberson is an innocent father who has languished on Texas’s death row for 20 years for a crime that never occurred and a conviction based on outdated and now refuted science,” the prisoner’s lawyer, Gretchen Sween, said.

 

Good afternoon everyone! The bot apparently didn't like a few things with the new schedule but it looks like I have it together now. I'll be back to check on it before game time.
