I still haven’t figured out if Google’s flight search forwards view data similar to checking on the actual airline’s website because I’ve definitely seen price hikes occur in realtime, but I can’t tell if that’s because of constant rechecks close to the flight date, or just the static algorithm increasing the price as the flight date approaches.
Otherwise I’m kind of skeptical of how they allow Google to use such data and present it for free.
EDIT: By far not the most, but I thought it was worth sharing
I’ll have to dig it up again but it was a video with voiceover showing how a stray dog was burying her dead pup using her only her snout.
She dug out a spot gently using her front legs without kicking the dirt back, carefully placed the dead pup gently into the hole, and then slowly buried it by pushing dirt with her snout repeatedly until the hole was filled.
The voiceover was just explaining that dogs typically dig by kicking their front legs to launch the dirt behind them, and vice versa for filling holes by turning around and kicking in the opposite direction. But for the dead pup, the dog intentionally chose to use her snout to cover the hole.
It could have been any other cheesy social media forward, but it was pretty interesting to see how a mother dog treats her dead pup with respect and visual sadness in her facial expression.
I regret opening this thread and this completly validates me using anything but my bare hands to grab door handles.
Average American inland “seafood” is garbage. You have access to the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Florida Keys, Gulf of Mexico, Great Lakes, and hundreds of thousands of lakes and rivers, yet the top fish dish 100+ miles from a shore is usually catfish fresh out of a polluted sewage overflow ditch or farmed shrimp/crawfish fed on subsidized cornmeal.
I saw a great sign at a seafood market once that read “If it smells like fish, it’s not fresh fish”. I can personally guarantee you that you cannot find good quality, fresh seafood in the USA unless you live within travel distance of a shore where you can find a local market or restaurant that sells their catch of the day.
Catfish is not good quality fish. It’s a trash bottom feeder that does an excellent job of cleaning waterways. Stop eating it and claiming the flavor is unmatched, I can taste the Monsanto runoff.
Like capsaicin spicy (hot) or spices in general (pepper, cardamom, etc)?
I can understand hotness because it really is more of an acquired thing, especially with certain regions using it way more than others. But the only people I’ve heard who complain about this are the same people who can’t handle bargain basement hint of jalapeno potato chips lol.
And if its the second category, then I assume you must be British lmao.
And because someone is going to say “Just use Linux”, believe me, I’d love to, but the user experience sucks for literally anyone who isn’t a software developer and the accessibility has actually gotten worse over the 15 years I’ve tried to use it.
Don’t listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.
If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: https://fedoraproject.org/kde/
Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn’t realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.
but does that still work when resetting?
Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it’ll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says “I don’t have internet”. Click that and make your local account.
If it doesn’t work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I’ve made had me do it twice.
Right? I was like dang you’re already half way there lol.
The reason though is that they probably don’t want to discourage payments because I have seen businesses refuse to use Monero in ransomware attacks because their insurance agreement complicates payout on a fundamentally untraceable currency. Even if Bitcoin is technically decentralized, they can report the transaction and specific currency blocks to whatever federal agency is responsible for fraud.
Still, why not offer both and put a 5% discount on Monero.
Hah I actually remembered this too, and people were still hyping Elon Musk at the time as well.
TBF the researchers knew what they had could be scaled into something gamebreaking which is how we got ChatGPT-3, but OpenAI made it sound like they already had it nailed down several years before it actually blew up. I think their unreleased examples they gave were a newspaper and short story written by AI which they said was indistinguishable from human material.
governors would fall into line pretty quickly
Dem governors would line up to oppose him.
This isn’t really possible anymore, State NGs are nationalized so the federal government is already in charge. That’s how JFK enforced desegregation in Alabama, he literally removed the state governor from the chain of command: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_in_the_Schoolhouse_Door
It’s the same reason Walz did basically nothing in Minnesota. If he attempted to direct the NG or even his separate State militia, Trump would have thrown him into a charge under insurrection.
It would fall on the NG or Militia CO to proclaim allegiance to either the state or federal government. Considering what has happened so far, the most you’d see is some resignations.
The second Motorolla launches GrapheneOS support for Razr, I’m dropping Samsung lol.
I’m on the last flip where Samsung messages came pre-installed, but RCS already disabled, so at the very least I have the choice not to install Google’s shitty RCS app.
tbf Pakistan is sort of an anomaly because the government’s favorite hobby is shooting themselves in the foot.
They could easily move their passport up the rank line by like 30 spaces by just having clean diplomatic relations with other countries instead of running their embassies like a waffle house that requires bribes to get your food lol.
As in if they saw someone from a “third world” country via immigration, they either get profiled more or face discrimination at border crossings due to suspicion of overstaying or violating the terms of their visa (i.e. entering under a tourist visa but finds employment), is that why it’s difficult for immigrants from those countries to travel?
Yeah you pretty much answered your own question. Many people seek employment and the pursuit of happiness abroad since the opportunities and possibilities are much higher than at home.
While there are also security reasons on limiting passport power, it is primarily based on whether or not the country is known for immigration for employment/work. They don’t want people bypassing the work visa limit on an easy tourist visa.
The opposite also holds true, 3rd world countries don’t really gain anything from limiting 1st world people from entering. Often they’ll even offer special perks because it encourages foreign business and investment.
On a related note, I find the idea of borders and limiting immigration somewhat archaic and absurd for this very reason. If you have a healthy economy, there will always be constant demand for labor and growth. There’s really no reason to limit the human resource market, especially when visas often only allow highly educated people to immigrate.
I always found MiB’s take on it rather nice. When you have aliens traveling to earth to leave in peace and just make a living, it makes the INS (precursor to ICE) and the idea of country borders seem stupid to even exist.
No one who speaks German could be a killer!
Honestly they’d probably throw you on a list for not using the internet lol.
If you’re in the US, bachelor degrees are pretty worthless lol.
Man I can’t wait to upgrade my device/GPU with AV1 hardware support
AI slop bubble fart reverb sfx
I think Denuvo technically does a little bit of this.
I forgot the exact details, but one of the keys that’s used to unscramble the bytecode has to be downloaded from their registry server on first launch.
But after that, it’s not required.
They don’t have any lunar module in their package. Best bet would be to just burn back into LEO and dock with a competently designed spacecraft to rescue the crew.
Except NASA has a sore history of being in this exact scenario and they opted to go with “screw it” which led to the second shuttle disaster.
Netanyahu literally a couple of weeks ago, and I still think people believe he’s dead was injured
Sometimes I forget one of Trump’s first agendas was nuking research funding and using a keyword filter against grant submissions that had words like “trans” without conntext.
Seems like so long ago compared to an active war with Iran.
I’ve been trialing Vaultwarden for a while and while I do like the server sync setup and clean web access, the Bitwarden browser plugin is just okay despite being an “enterprise” solution. It misses probably about 20% of websites when creating a new account, forcing you to grab the password from the generator history and make a new entry manually.
KeepassXC is much better in that regard, and it’s almost as good as the default credential handler of Firefox, and it lets you set up a bunch of custom stuff to extend the functionality if you want. Plus it has some neat kbdx options aside from AES256.
Only downside is syncing, which I’m debating how I’ll deal with something better than syncthing on android (protocol is great, android makes it a PITA to have a background process if its not Google spyware).
