Not just that. Even without getting better productivity grains should mean your wages go up on average above inflation.

Na she's in the Delta quadrant.

Well it's good that EU coal consumption is falling too

Boomers would have expected their wages to go up above inflation. Not settle for keeping in line with it.

Welcome to election year.

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield wasn't that bad.

This has always been the sync development cycle.

That's not very much.

I can only help with the last part as I use audible. Have you tried Voice? https://droidify.eu.org/app/?id=de.ph1b.audiobook&repo_address=https://f-droid.org/repo

Dulce et Decorum Est

By Wilfred Owen

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/dulce-et-decorum-est

 Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,

    
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
  

Wot?

It's was sold to a Chinese company a few years ago.

Those who believe The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

Reduced inflation ≠ deflation

Except there's no records of that kind of knitting existing for best part of a thousand years and none of them show the wear you'd expect if that was the use.

Another Brexit Benefit

Fuck Nigel Frog face Farrage, The Haunted Victorian Pencil Jacob Rees-Mogg, Lord David Pig Fucker Cameron, Maybot, Boris I don't care where I stick my Johnson, and all the rest of the Tories who either actively supported this or were to self interested to not rebel as their leaders doubled down on their Brexit folly again and again.

Excuses excuses.

Yeah that's illegal in the civilised world.

The point of a team is that no one person is a point of failure.

Exactly. Tuvix is a potential single point of failure. You're doubling your risk. Eggs and baskets.

Factoring in a hypothetical future scenario is spurious.

Why? It goes hand in hand with your point about points of failure. It's something that would have had to be considered. Voyager wasn't snug and safe in the alpha quadrant where they could just go to a starbase and get more crew members if they lost any.

And not one person has even tried to reconcile the speech to the Vidiians.

It's right there in the speech I will do whatever is necessary to protect my people

At the end of the day the murder of Tuvix pales into insignificance compared to her out and out genocide of the Borg. All to protect her people and get them home.

I don't personally think the murder of Tuvix was justifiable, but it's definitely not an open and shut case. Janeway had to consider 150 people and their chances of surviving and getting home in one piece she also had to consider Tuvok and Neelix.

The links to Wikipedia are actual citations to real sources

I read an interesting article a few years ago about the Wikipedia source problem. It did a dive into how sources that seem legitimate on Wikipedia can and up citing sources that are less so. They were able to trace back the citations to Wikipedia itself. So no, they're not always real sources.

LLMs basically just generate something that looks like the link to a credible source which might support what it's said. It doesn't care if its "source" actually supports what it says.

Which is why you read the page it has linked for you as a source. Unless you're trying to say it full on generates a page for you.
