Youtube also didn't have a subscription option back in the day, and it also limited the length of videos you could upload. Things cost money to run, and something on the scale of Youtube costs a lot of money to run.

Now to be clear, I don't pay for Youtube or watch ads, but that's more because I object to directly giving Google my money with how much value they already generate just tracking and selling what browsing habits I am unable to obscure from them. If there was an option to pay Google $5-10 a month with the enforceable assurance that it came with absolutely no personal tracking and data collection, I would strongly consider it.

Was gonna say, I suspect you'd get even more extreme results if you put such cameras on the stroad I live near in Phoenix. Speed limit of 35, I routinely see people traveling 40-45.

Isn't the point of ketracel white that the Jem Hadar didn't naturally produce something necessary it provided them?

Btw, it's Eastern Bloc, not block. I'm sure autocorrect is to blame, but it seems like neat trivia regardless.

Looks like a different kind of parking spot, note that it's directly in front of a space where a car isn't parked. If I had to guess the clear space is an entryway of some kind that is being kept clear by shifing the parking space out (probably just shouldn't have one at all, but maybe there are parking minimums). If you look to the other side of the street you can see similarly parked cars with walls to their side, so it can't be intended as a sidewalk there.

Oh to be clear, imperial sucks and everyone would be better off just adopting metric, I'm mostly just arguing it doesn't suck as much or in as many ways as you seem to think.

But then you lose a good 99% of what makes metric great, which is the trivial decimalization of it.

All the original metric definitions (except seconds I think, but guess what imperial shares exactly) were extremely arbitrary, either relying on assumptions later shown to be false (such as exactly how earth curved) or varied enough to make the units imprecise during sensitive enough measurements (every definition that included water). Those problems have since been corrected, but imperial has also since been defined in terms of metric so the same can equally be said of it.

The foot is no less arbitrary than the meter. If you are just unfamiliar with the unit and confused by the fact it's named after something often close in size to it that's fine, but keep in mind for a while a meter was defined as the length of a specific metal rod, same as the foot and yard.

That rule only applies when there is no sidewalk available, which there very clearly is here. If you are in the sidewalk you can go whichever direction you prefer.

Every cent made is a fine I want to see more of. Anything less is going to be seen as just the cost of doing business and the behavior will continue.

Cool, I don't believe them.

I really want this story to be true.

The marketing and advertising and sales teams took over management from the engineering team, and decided to cut all the corners. It's a classic tale at this point, same thing happened to Boeing and Apple and Google and etc. It's why everything sucks nowadays.

Friendly reminder that, per the fifth amendment, you are not required to disclose your passwords to the authorities under any circumstances. This protection does not apply to biometric authentication, so don't enable those methods.

Police testimony should never be admissible as evidence without bodycam footage to back it up, not these days.

Cool, now how much power was consumed before even a single prompt was ran in training that model, and how much power is consumed on an ongoing basis adding new data to those AI models even without user prompts. Also how much power was consumed with each query before AI was shoved down our throats, and how many prompts does an average user make per day?

To be fair, people stopped after starting a witch hunt for the Boston bombers and identifying the completely wrong people. It may very well be the case that they over corrected, but there is at least a good reason for the change overall. (also corporate interests I suppose, fuck them though)

So long as there's a proper primary I don't see the harm in this, not really. I can't see her running a good enough campaign to make it through the primaries, at least not without also having a good enough campaign to beat the fascist party after Trump.

Looks like it's not an issue fortunately.

Aida said the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria, thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.
