I said good things about China again didn’t I and that made you insecure or mad so you checked my profile.
Are you going to memorize the carry, transport, and self-defense laws of every state on your route?
Are you going to be paying the attorney’s fees on behalf of your trucking company and your client and both of their insurance whom all will be sued by any survivors or their families when you shoot someone?
This will be controversial given the “that’s not true communism according to my 170 year old theory book” crowd that sometimes permeates western leftists like a disgusting plague; but Xi Jinping. He’s released 6 or so books, he has a literal Doctorate in Marxism, and has documented China’s success and failures in its strive towards communism, including very good answers for every single criticism western Do-Nothing marxists have towards China’s Dengist reforms and their incredible economic success.
Starfield kinda killed positive views of Bethesda. Fallout 76 shortly before that essentially eliminating most of the good will they had.
Beyond the technical failures inherent to those titles, even more so than the average Bethesda title, the writing, the story, the atmospheric story telling were all just… bad. Not a single glimmer of what made Skyrim or their previous titles great could really be found. Fallout 76 felt like the most obvious and pathetic cash grab in game release history, being practically unplayable for the first six months of its life… which for an online game is ridiculous; and Starfield legitimately felt like what a dev team that were fans of Skyrim might produce. It felt like a third-party rip off of Bethesda’s style.
Don’t get me wrong both games have their fans, and honestly the hate is overrated as both games are competent, they’re just not good. They’re just not Bethesda games.
Add onto that the fact it’s been 15 years since a significant elder scrolls title was released; because let’s face it no one remembers Blades, ESO is its own thing entirely, and I had to actually google ‘elder scrolls card game’ to remember wtf Legends was called; and you have a recipe for absolute disappointment. Most of the people that worked on Oblivion and Skyrim are gone from the company. The new batch have not made a popular game in that time besides Fallout 4, which is still viewed by half the fallout fan base as the worst fallout game despite Fallout Tactics existing.
The negative outlook is because we aren’t likely to get more of what we like. Especially given Todd Howard’s obsession with using AI. This is much more likely to be a corpse wearing the skin of a beloved franchise than anything worth playing, all for the low-low price of $80+ USD, if not $100+ USD.
Sweating your balls off in the summer almost makes you wish for a New Vegas Remaster.
Your view is outdated, and will increasingly become entirely irrelevant as electric and hybrid vehicles continue to vastly outpace ICE production, if only because it entirely eliminates this silly elitism.
They finally got him.
Teflon, or PTFE, is a type of PFAS, and is the most famous and most numerous contaminant in that family and the most likely contaminant to cause PFAS-related cancers in the developed world.
since we can’t really absorb molecules that long and it’s already literally everywhere.
I’m curious how you came to this conclusion. PFAS and PFOS stay in your body for an incredibly long time and can accumulate quickly. We have no easy way of processing them out, and yes we absorb them into our longer term cells like muscles and fat.
It’s an incredibly important health problem the world is facing, as every variant of PFAS and PFOS causes cancer. and there is no medical way to remove PFAS once its in your body. The absolute best you can do is lower (you can’t eliminate) your exposure over time and hope the build up isn’t enough to trigger cancer growth before you get cancer or die from another source of industrial pollution.
LLMs are, in fact, a dead end. They cannot produce more than autocorrect. The summation of all written works of humanity has turned out to be average sycophancy at best. They fail the most basic tests of competency in language, and the most basic tests of competency in all other things. Do other GAN and GAN-like Machine learning algorithms we’ve all lumped into the poorly termed “AI” have some promise? Sure.
Pattern recognition will always be useful to some extent as a first-line diagnostic tool for further human intervention, e.g. Cancer-finding image GANs. But this is “AI” in the same way your smart toaster that “learned” to just turn off the heating element early since you press cancel way too soon is “AI.”
The absolute best case scenario for AI at the moment, given all indicators of its capability and limitations, as scientifically proven and tested, is the mass genocide of a large part of the lower classes via AI weaponry gone wrong, since we’re officially at the point of western armies using autonomous “AI” to target and kill humans. That’s the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is we continue to waste massive amounts of resources and energy basically creating the weapons of our own oppression that the ruling class will use to crush any possible resistance once they realize AI cannot, objectively, do any possible useful work for them.
I ain’t reading all that AI generated nonsense.
No. The reason people don’t like AI is because AI is not doing anything positive for society. It is taking away human expression, not the cause of human oppression or depression. i.e. it can paint a landscape, make a movie, write a sonnet, but cannot fucking handle taking an order at a drive thru or complex tasks.
It removed all the reasons to live, and can’t handle taking away the burden of life.
Defence scientists say the technology could threaten low Earth orbit satellite networks such as Starlink at an extremely low cost.
Low Cost? It’s 100 Gigawatts. And the inverse square law is still a thing. In fact it’s the thing, the reason most sci-fi weapons can’t exist until we get infinite exponential power sources.
This will be amazing at missile defense and anti-air, however, thoroughly eliminating any reasonably distanced threat.
In other words they’re not employment scams whose goal is to get your money.
They are ‘scams’ in the fact they’re not real jobs, they are essentially stealing your data under false pretenses, but because capital owns the western world, not people, media that likes not spending its entire revenue in court can’t legally call that a scam.
No one wants to deal with HR to get things posted externally, I promise.
That’s great and all but the current linux phone offerings are… not suitable for general public use. The iPad generation will simply not be able to use them in their current state.
A) This is Klei’s EULA. You get the same thing if you download their games through the Humble Store.
B) Steam quite famously does not remove games from those that have bought them. They will remove games from the store when they violate rules or at the publisher’s request, but paid content has never been removed from steam accounts. e.g. :
Edward Snowden? No. This borders on the “oh the Reptilian satanists have to disclose their evil deeds to clear their karma before their deaths” level of conspiracy thinking in order to make sense.
Jeffery Epstein objectively is a Mossad agent, which does mean he worked with the CIA, who have a history of similar activity.
I have to disagree there:
- The Ordinary World,
Baby born to poor people in a manger
- Call to Adventure
Three wise men show up and proclaim him the messiah and help guide him
- Refusal of the Call
A literal 18 year time skip between age 12 and 30
- Meeting the Mentor
Assumed why he returned from this time skip as a rabbi
- Crossing the Threshold
Gaining his first disciples and preaching
- Tests, Allies, and Enemies
Judas
- Approach to the Inmost Cave
Acceptance of Judas’ betrayal
- Ordeal
Obvious
- Reward 10) The Road Back 11) Resurrection
I mean 9 10 and 11 are the same here. Dude came back from the dead.
- Return with the Elixir.
He was said to grant boons to his former disciples before he left the second time.
The human right abuses in Xinjiang are a fact.
I’m pretty sure committing a felony isn’t something that’s allowed on a FOSS project.
