I remember way back on reddit after hearing the neuralink buzz, I went to /r/neuralink and asked questions about how they would prevent infections with such procedures.
The answer?
"Well its just on the outer skin and doesn't really pass the blood brain barrier so its fine", I felt so validated and was blown away by how laissez-faire they were with infections, guess that little blurb was company policy!

Brought to you by the same people who brought you the "spider network"!

It might mean something though, FFXIV is a classic example of a game that almost nobody plays on Steam, but its Steam charts line up somewhat well with the game's increasing popularity especially with Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Of course you have to look at actual data to back that up, but soemtimes it can show trends.

I got two sinus infections back to back this year and got to learn it the hard way. The doctor was like: "No, you gotta get the REAL stuff!"

Kbin has been working great for me too.

As long as he keeps his thumb up his ass about climate than I could care less. I will vote for him again because he's not Trump, but I'm really mostly a single-issue voter at this point. We should treat climate like a war at this point and shift our economy around it.

There's islands where nothing happens like long ring long land, well something does happen there, but its so minor compared to everything else that I'm not really sure why its there at all. I feel like Thriller Bark was kind of filler-y too. That second sentence is an extremely hot take, but that is how I feel.

If you enjoy the live action you will probably enjoy the manga or anime. The one caveat to that is both versions One Piece suffer the same problem from filler, but in different ways. This problem is best illustrated by an anime about that problem:

but it works both ways for one piece, because it's been running long enough as both a manga and an anime.
TL;DR; It's great but there is filler in both.
I prefer the manga, but I feel like the manga is a little rough until it gets to Drum Island, which is a whooping 130 chapters in, but "only" 78 episodes in... it's one of those "its gets really good 100 hours in" deals.

I was blown away by it completely, I thought one piece of all the manga/anime out there EVER was probably the hardest to translate to real life, but they hit it out of the ball park.

Free thinker alert! Arrest these shrooms immediately!

There are honestly a lot of parallels between the war in Ukraine and WWI, Putin's actions remind me a lot of the leaders of some countries in WWI who were super wrapped up in their egos to the point of wanting a "gentleman's war", only to end up killing and traumatizing millions. Putin assumed he could just swoop in and crush the Ukrainians, much like many leaders in WWI had such nationalistic fervor that crushing other nations would be easy, instead he is now bogged down in a horrible forever war.

Of course it's not all the same because the Ukrainians are clearly the victims here, but I feel like Putin is more comparable to a WWI style leader who just makes one suicidal push after the next than the Nazis who did in fact have some victories, not to mention that the Russian army does not do well against more modern military technologies.

Usually I agree with that but this is such an obvious example of blazen antisemitism that it is newsworthy. I'm sorry but this is on the same level as Henry Ford and Lindberg.

Yup, way too much sway in the world in general.

So it's not some indigenous thing like in the Americas and is just pure evil capitalism? Ugh!

For the AI heads here: is this another problem caused by the "black box" style of LLM creation where they don't really know how it actually works, so they don't really know how to take out the data?

That makes perfect sense. As someone who has had genuine chemical imbalances I've had to wrestle with, another thing that's really interesting is that people who are obviously in the depths of delusional/paranoid hell are so afraid of the mental system that they never seek help. It's so sad that its in the state its in, if things were a little better than maybe those people wouldn't balk at therapy while they are in the throes of schizophernia or something.

This is a super hot take but if someone wants to be medicated to deal with a dying world than I'm okay with that. I think it's better than hitting the bottle tbh. Obviously companies shouldn't force pills on people but we live in a fucked up capitalist hellscape, so yeah.

Kbin is probably in the center. I just want to grill in my Linux computer.

3 second time travel like za wordlo

yup, dry and windy.
