Pretty interesting stuff. About 100 whales per year are hunted, but 2023 had over double the average since whale hunting resumed in 2006.

There was a 4 year hiatus until COVID hit, then tourism slumped and the hunters resumed. Now that tourism is up, hunters are being shunned again. Its roughly 150 people that would need new work, and could easily transition to whale tourism (lawl).

The Icelandic whalers say its only a small percentage of the estimated 30,000 whales that pass through, so its nbd.

These hunters account for roughly 3% of all whales hunted worldwide, raking in about $15m a year.

Totally nothing to do with rising sugar content in all foods globally and lack of proper nutritional foods

Heres a fun tidbit, some fascist dude who genocided people said that blonde hair and blue eyes was the best.

Turns out only 2% of people are blonde, but I damn sure see more than 1 in 50, especially in movies/media. Kinda weird that Hollywood loves the same thing Hitler did, eh?

Incorrect. This will better train LLMs since they can detect distinct speakers/sounds more easily and thus applying the proper metadata tags and profile information at a more accurate clip.

All so they can deliver more ads!

You trust polls?

Ridiculous assessment.

Everyone is being told its all fine, but the insane CPI massaging has gotten beyond out of hand. There are very little gains for the proletariat masses RN, mostly losses.

Not weird at all

Houstons tram is central to downtown area, and everyone lives 10+ mi outside the loop.

Metro has been a longtime joke outside of rodeo season.

I didnt know Amtrak still ran anywhere lol

TST is a style imo, anyone from any religion can use the same framework

Physical media can have certain bonuses that digital content cant/wont. Album art, bonus features, easter eggs, etc, but also the analog sound of vinyl.

The main thing I see these days though, is that the content cant be edited, censored, or modified in any way. Locally owned digital content also benefits from this.

TST time

Metadata tags mean they can try, idk how easy it is tho

Havent been to Dallas in a while, so ill take your word on that one.

Trump lies

There, fixed every headline where they quote him

DDG chatbot uses chatgpt protocol, so how much privacy is there in this app?

Dow chemical is located in Lake Jackson, TX and probably out-pollutes all the passenger cars in TX

Not to mention the ship channel, oil refineries, coal burning, petrochemical plants, and so many other high pollution industries. But sure, blame the citizens.

Also, if you want citizens to use their cars less, invest more in public transit (TX has none)

WhatsApp uses Signal protocol, might try getting your friends/groups to switch over to the better app?

Http3 != web3.0

Web3 everywhere ive looked is strictly for blockchain approach to web

Im happy to be wrong, but my search yielded nothing to support your position. Do you have a resource handy?

This guy volubtarily worked for Trump and still only lasted one Mooch. Who cares what he has to say?

The even bigger issue, imo, is how many other researchers have done the same thing and it goes unnoticed?

This is the biggest retraction so far.
