A high-art movie where practical effects are used extensively so there are no characters shown. All you hear is their voices and the physical effect on the scene from their actions. Imagine a movie and edit out the people. There would be no known actors used, so the viewer is left to imagine what each character looks like. Voice actors would be selected with as many as possible that don't look like they sound.

It would later be followed up with interviews with the actors. Between the two aspects it could be used as a tool of introspection to understand your biases in perception of others.

It would be such a financial loss, there is zero chance it would ever make money.

Not sure if father or Dom.

A lot of devices can be turned off, but they still use power. So you can waste electricity even though the devices are "off".

Things like normal table lamps aren't the problem, it is stuff like TVs, computers, stereos, etc.

The younger gamers will only appreciate brain rot AI gen games because that is all they know.

AI will eventually be given the task of creating a game based on prompts and it will be able to do that with minimal curation with considerations of other similar games and the consensus about them. It will be able to accomplish the entire dev in a fraction of the time of a conventional dev team of humans. This is probably 10-15 years away and will be the death of innovative risk taking games that come to be held in high regard.

What is emerging is AI upscaling that will eventually allow a game made 10 years ago to look new. Soon there will be extrapolative AI that can remaster something like Super Mario Bros or Goldeneye and make it into a modern gen graphics game regardless of what "modern" means.

AI can be a fantastic tool to ease the burdens of the game development process to decrease costs and time so smaller studios can focus on the core of what makes a game good. Unfortunately studios will integrate AI into the development process as they remove humans to decrease costs to an overall detrimental degree and the market will be flooded with mediocre derivative games that offer nothing of value in terms of experience.

Add sound to orgasmic contractions.

There is zero chance anyone close to 18 would ever be elected to a federal position. Anyone over 25 knows how stupid they were at 18 and would apply that understanding to the 18 year old.

I love the idea of a Sergeant at Arms giving a field sobriety test to a senator. I would like to see them fined an amount equal to a month's wages if they are drunk. The rest of what you said is also good.

If you were hired as a CEO and you were paid tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, you would have the financial means to help a lot of people. You could buy apartment complexes and lower the rent. You could open up homeless shelters. You could start a food pantry. You could buy medical debt and write it off. You could pay for legal funds to help domestic abuse victims.

The problem with people making millions or billions a year is that they don't use their wealth to help others.

More context: Sanctioned drive races are on 1/8 or 1/4 of a mile tracks. There are longer races, but those are usually events at an airport or dry lake bed and not a normal weekend race at a drag strip.

That does happen but I don't believe they are intentionally doing that. I think they just slow down and keep their nose out the water to breathe and the water freezes around them or they break through the ice to breathe and the water refreezes.

There has been similar events in the past, the weaker ones die and the survivors make the species stronger.

Reptiles can enter "brumation" with cold temps, which is like a hibernation. They may still move around and drink, but their metabolism is slowed down significantly.

Genau.

That is not German humor, that is German anger.

The snowflake is located above the middle of the distance between the eye and ear of the bird. That is like a snowflake hair clip by the temple.

I doubt the face of NASA being compliant will reflect the reality. NASA leads diversity in aerospace.

35% women, 11% black, 2.2% LGBTQ. Keep in mind the diversity of their hiring pool is not 1:1 with the US population's diversity. 14% of aerospace engineers are women, 5.7% are black, 8% are LGBTQ. NASA ain't gonna change their hiring habits because they are looking for the best and brightest and DGAF about who they are.

I believe there were rumors based on comments about Chicago in response to the mayor's comments, but no official statement saying that Chicago was the first sanctuary city to be descended upon.

It is my understanding is that at this point they have directed ICE to start going down their list of illegal immigrants that have committed serious crimes. My assumption is that they have to get a strategy and assets prepared to do large scale raids, which they could not have formally done until after inauguration. I also assume they will be weeks or months away from large operations and they will be gathering a large mobile task force that will hop between cities while local offices are gathering lists and information about subjects that will be targeted.

I expect Chicago to be the first city to see a large operation just as a "fuck you" to the mayor, but other sanctuary cities that have said they won't cooperate are also prime targets.

The argument they are using to avoid PCA is that it is a national emergency that threatens national security due to the cartels being a terrorist organization that infiltrates America via the southern border.

So the national security acts that were passed post 9/11, that people were warning about being a dangerous tool that would allow military deployments on US soil, are what really allows skirting of PCA.

The irony of that is that is has been the right wing that has been the loudest about the dangers of those national security acts because they were worried it would be used against them, but a knife is used to cut whoever isn't holding it.

Having repeatable results is important to establish.

The results would double the sample size and better support the conclusion.

Maybe don't buy your packer off of Temu?
