The trick to remember isn’t left or right its that the driver is always in the middle of the road.

While not pertinent to the OP, the USVI drives left and has left-side driver seats as well.

Meanwhile, I'm happy to trust the future to our young technocrat overlords, they have our best interests at heart.

Yeah, they better pay themselves some damages.... Oh wait.

I know it feels bad in the world, but the person you're responding to already gave you the answer to your questions.

I'm sure I'll get into the line of fire here, as this is a very anti-India comment section. That's OK, I see a lot of people treat World News as a sporting event, cheering and jeering the teams.

India has a population of 1,428,627,663. If they have 90 (nearly) acts of rape per day, or 32,850 per year. (per the article)

USA has a population of 341,228,401, and reported 531,810 for 2022 (latest year with data).

What would the world be like if we decided on anti-proselytizing laws on day one...

I'd think the Pentagon would be working on it's own audit fails before complaining about lack of "required visibility"

This is actually what lead me to set up a software RAID - my family is primarily Windows and I didn't want to remember if the files were on D:, F:, G:, K:, etc. I'd rather have a root folder that's extendable.

Same combo, can use it on android (and probably iOS), windows, linux; the plugins really extend Obsidian's abilities.

Only tangentially related to your question, but I've seen recommendations for Kettlebell ladders to increase your VO2 Max as a phenomenal way to train your lungs for running.

Aerobic high-intensity intervals improve VO2max more than moderate training

Men's health article (Yeah yeah, fie on tiktok)

Effects of Kettlebell Training on Aerobic Capacity

You see, this was an intentional case-study in business failures, meant to exemplify the problems with using AI to replace every aspect of our lives. You might even call it art.

Those dolphins have been freeloading for far too long. If they're so smart, they better start PRODUCING to justify their place in this planet!

These down votes sure seem like people unable to face their own hypocrisy.

Easy words to type, difficult to live. Try considering the entirety of someone's situation before prescribing their actions.

imagine how much energy goes into generating each chatgpt response, or each 30-60 second AI video

Improvements to energy consumption are being implemented each generation. Online image generation is estimated at 2.9Wh per instance.

However, for example, Stable Diffusion XL Turbo is closer to 0.1Wh per instance. The push to market always beats the push for optimization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfund

The program is designed to investigate and clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances. Sites managed under this program are referred to as Superfund sites. Of all the sites selected for possible action under this program (and there are tens of thousands across the U.S.), 1178 (as of 2024) remain on the National Priorities List (NPL)

Tens of thousands of sites in the US alone.

Many are ongoing.

Corporate oopsies are just the cost (to the world) of profit. Let's guesstimate the ratio of impact from freedom fighters compared to profiteers.

There are countless CURRENT environmental catastrophes caused by corporate negligence and no one bats an eye, what world are you living in?

Just no people you know.
