To be fair, that's your personal thing, because you have knowledge about this topic. In movies and TV a crap ton of stuff is abbreviated to not bore the audience to death. Some shows portrait a certain domain more or less realistically but still take dramatic license with other things. After all, we watch this stuff to escape from reality.

Line must always go up.

It's not cynical. I have three of them and that's just the truth. Sometimes they enjoy being annoying. It's all normal and good... but it's still annoying.

And sometimes kids aren't interested in the answers, they just want to annoy you.

Is it pronounced differently? Like Tokyo Sexwale isn't pronounced like you just did in your head.

I like IMDb ratings as a broad gauge of quality. 99% of movies under 5.5 or so are not something I enjoy. Beyond that it's just taste. Although I like most movies in the top 250, the order of movies (x is better than y) is useless to me.

Have you tried wanting to be monetized?

But why create the problem in the first place? Why not step onto the bath mat with dry feet?

I think she is either talking about her son or a pet.

Security and convenience will forever be on opposing sites of a spectrum. You can move alongside the spectrum but more of one thing will mean less of the other. That's just a fact.

I will never understand people who leave puddles or wet bath mats instead of drying themselves in the already wet shower.

True, but we do have the vaccine and the means to mass-produce and administer. That's why I'm not worried about smallpox.

Homo homini ursus

I used to be all on board with that, but seeing what a colossal waste of resources AI is, I've come to question other efforts like this one or calculating pi to a trillion digits. The trigger here for me was the use of GPUs, which I've come to associate with AI waste. Sure, I know they're just a tool. But I still don't see what value will come from knowing ever bigger prime numbers.

I didn't use to do this, but with the world being on fire I feel like I should ask whether the amount of energy put into finding huge primes is really worth it.

It's not just him. Without half the country enabling him, he would be nothing.

I mean, it is true that a single person very, very rarely causes significant change. There truly is very little a single person can do. But... that should be motivation to find others and to organize. Not to do nothing at all.

I thought the golden rule is "it's OK if it's in a threeway".

When I check ticket prices for my family of five, the cheapest option at Disney World is 1700 Euro. That's on the Disney website and does not include travel or lodging or food.
