AI trained to do that job? Sure, yeah. LLM AI? Fuck no.

same amount of effort

Physical effort, yes. Cognitive effort, no.

• Intros on a serial show are expected, and in some cases change subtly from one episode to another to provide additional entertainment value (eg the Simpsons intro). In other cases a change of intro sets the setting for the episode (eg Star Trek: Enterprise's Storm Front episodes).
• YouTube ads are not related to the show, provide no contextual value, and in the case of interstitial ads are not even at a predictable time. They also tend to be inanely repetitive, showing the same ad over and over in consecutive videos. Contrast those to eg halftime ads at the Superbowl broadcasts, which have predictable timing, variety, and have a history of being (or trying to be) entertaining.

Crazy Frog.

I donate to food banks and educational charities. I grew up with little and now I'm better off thanks to charities and scholarships that supported me, and I want future generations to be given the same chances I was.

It could be to protect the cord from being damaged by the prongs - the plastic cover would be softer and less sharp.

Except that Starlink pricing and throughput is not linear. They're starting to add congestion charges in popular areas, they have no satellites at higher latitudes, and their devices suffer at low temperatures. If you think that Starlink will be able to deliver what Elmo claims, then I have a trip to the Titanic to sell to you.

To me the weekend is the end of the week. I don't start the week on its end, so by elimination the week starts on Monday.

Pixel 8 user here - the in-display fingerprint reader is fine, as long as my finger isn't super dry (which happens regularly). So I'm regularly licking my finger to unlock the device like some boomer that's used to doing it from turning pages in a book.

Thursday is 5/7 if you're one of those uncivilized people who start the week in Sunday.

That seems like a myopic view. Service misconfiguration is not always a vendor's fault, and demanding software vendors to patch their products is not going to fix OSS vulnerabilities. In fact, we've seen examples this year of increased pressure to fix "issues" leading to developers unwittingly accepting malicious commits.

Mind you, I'm not contesting that some vendors produce dogshit products (looking at you, CrowdStrike), but calling all vendors villains is a bit of a stretch.

Not better, but more familiar.

And increase social spending. Of those who can be reformed, they'll only do so if there's a support network.

ACAB

Well not that shocked.

She should have Bambi Thug as a guest on her next rally.

If you want to see what it would be like in the wrong hands: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1213404/

On the other hand it dilutes the effect of lower values because a lot of them are double digit. 20F, 40F, 60F... all double digit, but wildly varying. On the other hand, with Celsius you get:

• Below 0: There's ice/snow.
• 0: Things are freezing/thawing (depending on what the temperature was before.
• 10s (Spring): T-shirt weather.
• 10s (Fall): Sweater weather.
• 20s: Nice in the sun.
• 30s: Nice in the shade.
• 40s: THIS IS PUNISHMENT FOR OUR HUBRIS.

I like the "exotic cars" banner on the back.

I don't know if it's still the case, but in my experience (years ago) PGP messed with the proper rendering of HTTP email bodies.

From a security standpoint also, the signature confirming that the email is from your is a double edged sword: Yes, your contacts get to verify that it's you, but you're also losing plausible deniability (privacy).
