Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?

Breaking in is just what we call the process of fostering trust and getting the horse slowly used to a rider.

The USA's biggest island
That Chicago waterway is artificial, isn't it?
So this is about as much of an island as Western Europe (Main-Donau Chanel), Africa (Suez Chanel) and North America (Panama Chanel)

Society is Limited by Wage Slavery
I'm a big fan of the concept of an universal basic income. Where everyone gets ~1000€ every month from the government. For children, the parents get the money.
And I mean everyone. Every legal resident. Including billionaires.
To finance it I would tax both income and capital gains at ~50%. From the very first € you earn.
The net tax load on most people would not actually change much. But it completely gets rid of situations where if people work more, loose their benefits and end up with less.
1000€ should be just about enough to life a frugal lifestyle. A flat with a partner or flatmate in a small town. Produce to cook a flexitarian diet. A public transport pass and a bicycle. A Samsung Galaxy A17 with an internet plan. And all those other real necessities of life.
If people want luxuries, they will still have to work. Someone still has to produce those consumables after all. But everyone should be able to get all of their basic necessities covered.

"Papieren" is Dativ. You need "Papiere" here. Grammar is really important to the Nazi party

Ja, long COVID. Eine sehr bekannte YouTuberin hat es auch ganz besonders schlimm getroffen.
Ich bin froh das ich mehrfach geimpft war, bevor mich COVID erwischt hat. Ich lag trotzdem 2 Wochen im Bett und konnte einen Monat lang meinem Hobby nicht nachgehen. Aber wer weiß was ohne Impfung passiert wäre.

Humans on average get 2 hours of battery life for every hour they charge
You can easily get 3 hours for every hour of charging, even over extended periods of time. Although you might experience some issues with your CPU and RAM. And it can negatively impact the device lifespan.
Over short periods you can get away with even less charging. Although the CPU and RAM issues will get even worse.

They might start a big grassroots movement. Artificially. You might call it a turfgrass movement. Maybe use a genericized brand name. That seems fitting

Scientist Horrified as ChatGPT Deletes All His Research

If he only used it as a tool, I'd still say it's his work. It should of course be included in the methodology section.
But considering he lost 2 years worth of work, just because his chats got wiped? That's more than just a tool

How come some people can work 8 hours straight and then have energy to hit the gym, but if I walk for 1 hour in the treadmil all that I can is lay down for the rest of the day?
I second the doctor.
It might just be an utter lack of fitness. But even then a doctor might give you tips.
Or it could be something more serious.

As AI enters the operating room, reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts
So now, rushing to implement useless AI workflows has directly killed patients? Fuck them!
How has this even gotten FDA approval in the first place? Bribery?

If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?
I wouldn't be able to.
But if I could, I would vote for the Democrat nominee. The voting system of the USA is a bit screwed, and voting for anyone but the better of the two most popular candidates is a wasted vote.

I don't think that would have prevented migration. People have always migrated and always will.
