How long have they been a fast food store? I thought they were an ice cream shop

Thanks for the actual answer!

That makes too much sense :/

It would be fine if we lived in a utopia, but not fine when corporations have the power to require that you use one, or else you can't use their services.

The fact that perfectly capable PCs aren't getting security updates is just part of it. Once Microsoft and other corporations can ensure that your computer is no longer completely controlled by the user (as the TPM ensures) they can start locking it down, first in the name of security, but then just like how some phones have apps that you can't uninstall, or how printers force you to use name brand ink at a huge markup.

This is changing. Microsoft is trying to restrict Windows 10 -> uploads based on having a user-hostile TPM module to make PCs more locked down, just like phones.

Shows people using the LLM thought less about it and probably learned less.

Sometimes students are motivated to learn, but there's always the temptation to just get the work done and relax...

I think the next step is to eat something even hotter and in larger amounts, if you want to find out. Otherwise just count yourself lucky!

I've always thought that researchers should plot outcomes against commute times.

So like ... Can you keep eating even more spicy food until it does affect your suggestion and then let us know how spicy you had to go?

Cool, so this puts yt-dlp on Kodi and downloads videos before watching them. Hopefully this works better for older hardware than the YouTube plugin, which I think has to use more computationally expensive methods to stream from YouTube directly with the cat and mouse game between yt and them.

Do you know, does it keep the video files it downloads, or does it delete them automatically?

This is loss, right

You have different definitions of "political"

In my country at least, there are differences of opinion about whether queer people can exist in public, use the bathroom, etc., and the people in power are endangering everyone. So pride is very much political.

Always has been

Spag so hot
Hot hot spag

I've never seen anybody ponder any orbs on reddit

A bicycle (with a lock)

A raincoat or umbrella

A smartphone

A reliable electric light source, like a lamp.

Maybe an electric fan, if you're in a hot environment

I still remember one time as I was a new driver, I saw a friend in the other lane, and I told my parents, "look, there's my friend!" And I looked over at her, and started accidentally turning my car into the direction I was looking.

My parents quickly told me to drive straight, and I got control of the car again, but this goes to show that it IS a skill to be able to look around, at mirrors, at the blind spot, etc, without also moving the steering wheel. But you will get better at it with more practice and especially good experienced drivers or instructors helping you practice.

You will make your own choices based on your experience, but I would advise you to reflect on what specifically led to your accident.

I also learned to drive late (at 18) because I rode my bike everywhere and didn't have a car anyway, and didn't feel quite in control. I was anxious about following all the rules. But a high schooler 3 years older than me said once she realized that you basically weren't allowed to hit anyone else, and all the other rules fall under that, driving made a lot more sense.

The 60 hours of supervised driving never felt long enough for me, and I kept trying to get practice sessions with my parents after that. I once drove some friends around somewhere and realized I wasn't as safe as I wanted to be, so after that I didn't drive friends around for a while until I got more skilled.

Because while I was learning to drive, I really couldn't do other things at the same time: listen to a conversation, the radio, think about anything that hard -- I had to remove distractions to focus on driving.

Much later when I had more practice, driving got to be more second nature, and I feel safe driving other people around again.

I went through this one more time when I learned how to drive standard ("stick shift"), I had to remove distractions and focus on how to drive, or I could have a lot of difficulty.

So I don't think you should give up driving entirely, because no one starts out as a "good driver" and you may need more practice than perhaps you think you "should" need. But you should take your responsibility seriously, and figure out how to get more safe practice opportunities, and take care to remove distractions and set yourself up for success. Which might mean saying no to driving in certain situations, but yes in others, until you are more skilled.
