As an American, I support this. Do not come here. Not only to send a monetary message, but because I genuinely don't feel like tourists are safe. ICE and DHS have gone off the rails, and nobody should risk their lives to visit what little beauty we have left.

How else am I supposed to built up a tolerance for cyanide if I don't microdose insignificant amounts daily?

It would fail if they tried today. But after 3-7 more years of eroding voting rights, empowering intimidation and misinformation groups, and emplacing loyal people in state governments? I think they could get all 50 states. He's going to run for a third term regardless because it's obvious by now that nobody will stop him, but having the amendment in place will be a fitting capstone to his power grab.

I can't speak for the desktop side, but for my server it's been running without interruption for years. About once per week I do something stupid and use all available memory, but it hasn't crashed once. It just runs a bit slow until I free up some RAM, then Docker comes back to life once I free up some disk space. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a server OS that just works.

You sound absolutely unreasonable. I completely agree and feel the same way, though. I can't stand them.

I thought it was Patrick Rothfus. Now I'm not so sure.

If it added value then I wouldn't be opposed. But I don't see what value AI could possibly add to a social network. Some specific fields, like researchers combing through large data sets, have benefitted from AI. Every other place it's been shoehorned into has suffered for it.

If you see a problem and realize AI could address it, then that's fantastic. If you're coming at it from the other direction and looking for problems then you're going to waste everyone's time.

Midwest US was going to be my first guess. Not uncommon behavior around here.

It was the original definition of "gooning": wikipedia

Sadly the traumatic kidnapping was generally the least bad part of the experience, since the camps were/are incredibly abusive.

Didn't both genres, tower defense and MOBA, evolve from Warcraft III mods / custom levels? I don't think it's too outlandish to get them confused if you aren't into them.

This is my philosophy too. If you're gonna do it then there's no harm in doing something fun first, and if it's still bad tomorrow you can finish it then. Having suicide as an option always on the table is a bit freeing, honestly. Momento mori and all that.

Wow, I had no idea. I wonder how many still believe that.

In my anecdotal experience chiropractors are often drawn to pseudoscience in the US. The last one my spouse went to was handing out anti-vacc pamphlets to the patients. I'd never seen such aggressively dumb ones before, just the usual scummy claims of being able to cure Crohn's disease and such.

"But it wouldn't hit the fan so much if we stopped using Microsoft's half-baked products!"

It always falls on deaf ears. I can't believe how many millions my employer throws at Microsoft every year just to complain about how broken it is.

Usually organic stuff is 2-4x more expensive around here, so my eyes tend to slip right over them.

Every place I've worked for seems to have them figured out ahead of time based on how little they want to give in raises.

A heart attack is a damaging lack of blood flow to the heart. This is very often caused by your heart beating wrong (or not at all) but can have many other causes. It's also important to note that the heart largely does not receive oxygen from the blood inside it; it has its own set of blood vessels on the outside feeding it. Therefore you can have a heart attack even though the pumping portions are completely clear.

It's possible for the blood flow to be slowed so far by blockages that your heart starts taking damage, yet still struggles on for five days. Definitely not a common scenario, but it does highlight just how varied and uneven heart attack symptoms are. Which just makes the whole thing that much scarier in my opinion.

Heartburn is a type of pain usually caused by acid reflux, but can be mimicked by a heart attack.

I see it as a CNC for paper and similar materials. I steal my spouse's at least once per year, often for making stencils for painting projects or for making layered lightboxes.

Yeah, I kinda assumed all elections from here on out will be like Russia: you can vote for whoever you want, but it won't count and you're going to get a visit afterwards.
