I heard about this from my wife (who is Japanese), and it's mostly a bad harvest along with few secondary reasons. If you're like me and thought it's the USs fault, it probably isn't helping with trade but Japan can still very much import rice from the US. Korea just makes more sense right now, probably.

In fact, ironically, tarrifs might actually help-- less US demand for Japanese rice means very slight increase in domestic supply. But it's likely not a lot.

"They're awake. Time to ask for food.'

My raid group has been together close to 10 years and this is basically how it is when we're grinding out gear. Like, just this week a guy went through a bad breakup and we're trying to cheer him up while also lightly roasting him as one does.

There are 8 billion people on earth and close to 400 million are in the US. There can, and will be, even worse takes out there.

Yes, I was about to say the same thing until I saw your comment. I had a little bit of success learning a few tricks with o3 but trying to use o4 is a tremendous headache for coding.

There might be some utility in dialing it all back so it's more straight to what I need based more on package documentation than random redditor suggestion amalgamation.

Also with Wiimote support, which was a better experience imo.

Ok, so people not overwhelmed by the election may remember that even under Biden last year, it was suggested as a solid, if not more likely possibility. Now, their position ultimately was "we don't think we'll ever find the truth" but I think part of that is also knowing that finding out is generally not with the trouble.

Naturally Trump doesn't care about truth or being nuanced with an "probability" of something, so they're going to be a bit more definitive.

Yup. It gets even more complex depending on the tasks qualities, like if it's a one-answer solution (e g. math) or a more open ended one (e.g. policy). Also, other disciplines argue you should also have a diverse group to better represent stakeholders, an especially important part of business and politics.

There is enough social psychology​ research to suggest that most of the time people are more efficient alone than in a group, although some tasks take more than one person. Process gain vs process loss, social loafing, groupthink, etc., if you put four people on a team you might get 200%, not 400% return, or worse.

Interesting, for complex tasks that require thought, the most efficient grouping tends to involve groups with diverse backgrounds and a work culture that values disagreement... which is basically the opposite of what's going on in American government right now, lol.

Wasn't official policy but that's what I did for my class. It's the only reasonable way, except now I'm getting AI slop answers sometimes, which fortunately isn't too hard to spot.

I saw! Glad to be proven wrong, but now it's even more questionable why they'd be so defiant when the dude seems to not even be jailed.

Yup. And I'm familiar with other countries, especially ties to Japan who did not raise rates for a long time and felt it. Yet most people just don't understand that.

Yeah, like I said it's mostly optics because a reasonable person should know this isn't ok in general, but the common voter isn't reasonable. At least that's how I interpret it. Thanks for bringing up the specific number, too.

So... Bumble then.

Yup, third one I've seen too. I didn't mind the catgirl one but it's already kind of messed up to meme with this asshole, but these last two aren't even very good.

Correct, although I imagine they don't want to risk the optics of coming to the rescue of everyone only to find out after a court case that at least one of those people were actually guilty, even though you'd have saved hundreds from wrongful imprisonment and stood up for the constitution.

Voters are just too dumb, I guess.

I know in the US that bottom surgery generally doesn't happen under 18, and the same is true in Canada, no? It's always just for show, although I guess we can't assume anyone in the government actually pays attention to statistics.

Funny enough one of his better appointees, he might have been a big reason US inflation wasn't so bad after the pandemic, although Biden gets credit for keeping him instead of being a man-baby and firing everyone from the previous administration.

The irony is that senators are historically one of the safer positions in Congress, due mostly to name recognition, the six year term, and preestablished alliances within their party and special interests. Sure we talk a big game about primarying people but that doesn't happen that often, either (even when it should, like with many Dems).

Then again, these aren't historical times and deeply unpopular people like Ted Cruz might actual lose to a democratic challenger if he lost the cults backing, even with RNC and billionaires backing him, so idk. Maybe fear is correct.

People touting it as good news must really wish we had a regulatory government that cared enough to actually reduce waste by targeting Temu and Shein directly, plus any other fast fashion pedler. Maybe even create rules and regulations regarding consumer goods in general.

I wish we were in that timeline...

Edit: also inb4 Trump cuts exemptions specific to Temu and Shein since he governs with permanent Bizzaro-World rules.
