Start by removing their tax exemption status.

That took me too long.

Just so you youngsters know, that legend of a person was David Bowie.

Because it’s not .333, it’s .333… or 1/3 and it’s not .999, it’s .999…, which is the same as 1 🫠. Primes and fractions are weird.

We cannot afford a green light for dishonest schools to continue harming students

This also should apply to skyrocketing tuition rates due to the institutions knowing that students would be pressured to take the predatory government loans. The government shouldn’t have been willing to pay that much to begin with, which would force the universities to lower their rates.

It’s hard to imagine a time when you could smoke a cigarette on a talk show.

In warmer water their metabolism goes up and they need to forage more food to survive. While they were attempting to do that, the were getting eaten by predators that typically couldn’t enter their region.

When I was in business school, one of our lecturers in our ethics class was one of the main consultants that worked the Steam project to create regional price differences and other geofencing. It was a very interesting class. The takeaway is that it can be seen as morally responsible to charge someone is a poorer country less for the same game. It is called price discrimination and it is done in many industries including air travel and pharmaceuticals. Otherwise, you would price an entire market out of a product. In many respects, the richer countries are subsidizing the poorer countries. The argument that the price should be the lowest one on the board anywhere is not realistic because a company needs to generate margins high enough to make the opportunity worthwhile otherwise it is not going to produce the product. In other words, Companies will not make a product if they are going to lose money selling it, but they will charge one market more to sell to another market at a loss if there is other intrinsic value like user adoption to create a community. They are selling digital content in this instance, but it still took money to make and money to distribute, so the argument that the product is easy to replicate over and over again is a moot point. Getting some money in a market versus no money is beneficial. If people pirate that games en masse by even just purchasing them VPN at a lower rate hurts the developers.

This is why I don’t have children.

I get why they do monkey trials, but the part where it said that the one dieing monkey was holding it's cellmate's hands really gets to me. There needs to be a better way.

If he needs to pay the real estate business to get started and if he needs to recruit other people, it is likely MLM (pyramid scheme). There is a database of those here.

• Homestar Runner
• AIM
• Yahoo chat rooms
• MUDs
• Not internet, but Leisure Suit Larry holds a special place in my memories.

We are all born atheists. Religion is the oddity.

I’m a millennial and own a home and can fix things. I do get experts in sometimes when I am less familiar with the job. What I found was that the previous boomer owner did a lot of things wrong. I can find the code violations, but may need an expert to come up with better solutions. I shadowed my electrician and don’t need him anymore. Still have my plumber in a bit for now.

ACAB

Acetone removes glue typically. Sometimes, when you think something is glued in hard, there is an extra screw that you missed.

My garbage disposal just broke. Turns out that the previous owner rigged the dishwasher drain in-line after the disposal, so that there is a chance that disposal water can kick-back into the clean dishes. Fixing that currently.

The kitchen hood vents into the attic, so have to fix that. The owner created a nest of electrical wires in the attic as well, so ended up creating a channel for them and organizing them so they are fastened nicely to the joists.

They created an unstable loft in the garage, so had to demo it since it was ugly as well. The list goes on and on.

I’m going to be a year away. I remember smoking sections in restaurants and a world without the internet. I was probably less than 10 taking bike excursions around town without supervision . It was a different time.

I recently moved my wiki notes to a different platform and wanted to build a Python app to read each article and add a list of keywords and categories describing it, so things would be easier to find on the new site. I ended up attempting to create a natural language model, but literally every unique word in each article kept becoming a keyword and category. After hours of toil and StackOverflow, I realized that I was essentially trying to recreate ChatGPT or at least an aspect of what it could do seamlessly. Instead of just pivoting to its API’s, which would have only cost a few cents, I spent a few more hours trying to use a wrapper around Bard that was broken because the service didn’t want people to build free automation atop it. I finally wrote a script that used ChatGPT/OpenaAI API’s to feed the articles and it worked almost perfectly. Had to run some parsing, but it got where it needed to be. TL;DR: I tried to write an AI in a day that is difficult for seasoned experts, failed pretty gloriously, realized I should use an existing AI, then wasted a few more hours trying to save a few cents, then did it correctly. I hyper-focus when coding, which can lead to these rabbit holes.

I’m sure that the Saudis are compensating him for his losses on Twitter. This was a planned demolition.

Yes. The knife is clean if we are cutting exact thirds. As one other user mentioned, base-10 doesn’t allow prime fractions to be conveyed cleanly, so we use repeating decimals to imply that it is a fraction.
