It’s kind of funny to see all these headlines not long after everyone was going on about Apple not doing enough with AI and going to slow with their rollout.
They have just done it a lot smarter than the others. Not rushing out to throw piles of money at something. Same thing they did during the pandemic, when other companies were massively overhiring trying to ride the wave. Apple didn’t and subsequently hasn’t needed to hold massive layoffs.
Focused on private groups of friends and family
So, a group chat.
the future of social networking lies in small, private communities powered by messaging, photo sharing
So it literally is just a fancy group chat. Or I guess a singular feed of multiple group chats…
It’s kind of wild that lemmy.ml is the actual developers of Lemmy too.
Man, I wish bear was safe medium like this. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much a guaranteed case of trichinosis.
Well, no. Even by the most conservatively estimated study, there are a minimum of 60,000 defensive gun uses in the US each year. Up to 2.5 million per year on the high end.
There are around 40,000 deaths from all unintentional falls per year. Of those, 85% are aged 65 and older.
You’re more likely to use a gun in self-defense than you are to trip and die. Especially if you’re not geriatric. So you’re wrong immediately there.
And yes, owning a gun makes it more statistically likely for someone to die by a gun. That’s because nearly 100% of gun suicides were the owner of said gun. Suicide is a leading cause of death in the US. That’s pretty irrelevant to anyone not suicidal.
Like they say, there’s three kids of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Ehhhhhhhh.
We have two Kias. An EV6 and a Telluride, so their EV and gas lines.
They’re nice looking cars, but the “Kia quality” definitely creeps in. If we didn’t get them on dirt cheap leases I would probably be pissed lol.
No we don’t, because it wasn’t approved in the US until the late 90s and only for treating VERY specific cancers.
It was pushed out in West Germany in the 50s specifically as a morning sickness med while pregnant, which is why these warnings are on there.
It would be more an allegory about the human experimentation of imperial Japan if anything. Given its a Japanese Manga.
Neither of which have anything to do with America.
That’s not what this is about though…
It’s about Full Metal Alchemist… that’s the guy that merged his daughter and dog into a chimera. He also had done it to his wife prior to that.
American Gridiron Football has absolutely zero connection to Australian Rules Football.
Both are descended from Association Football and Rugby Football.
The hydration breaks have BEEN a thing. They first started in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The UK literally created Israel.
After WWI the Brits controlled the area under mandate in the Treaty of Versailles. In 1917 the UK issued the Balfour Declaration pledging support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
Post WWI, the Brits sponsored heavy Jewish immigration into Palestine. After WWII, they explicitly supported Israeli independence.
It’s horrible, but this IS humanity. Humans have been doing shit like this since time immemorial. M
Right? My tattoos are for me. I don’t really give a shit if anyone else likes or dislikes them.
1st Samuel 9:2
Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else.
It’s pertinent because Saul was anointed by Samuel specifically to be the physically imposing king on the battlefield against the Philistines to rival men like Goliath.
But he pussied out and didn’t fight for Israel when it came down to it, and sent David out instead. David is what Saul was anointed to be. A large, physically imposing man, anointed by God to be the king of all the tribes of Israel.
Important to note, Saul put his own battle garments on David.
Saul is noted as being extremely physically imposing and larger than any other man in the kingdom. And his armor fit David.
So many people get David and Goliath wrong though.
David wasn’t some scrawny little kid. He was fuckin huge. He grew up fighting bears and lions with his bare hands, and was extremely well trained with his sling.
And after he killed Goliath, he wielded his sword and wore his armor, which were extremely heavy. Goliaths armor is directly stated to weigh 5,000 shekels which would be around 127lbs. The spear Goliath wielded had a tip that weighed 15 pounds alone.
They replace rings when they get full.
But each winning team typically gets 52 names to put on.
Sealioning is the constant bad faith, feigning ignorance, asking for evidence of everything under the guise of “just asking questions”. Then ignoring any evidence presented and moving on to the next demand. Used to shut down discourse entirely.
Tankies are leftists that defend or deny the atrocities committed by authoritarian communist regimes like the Soviet Union or the CCP. It was first used to describe communists in Great Britain that defended the Soviet Union for using tanks to crush anti-communist revolutions.
We already do with tidal generators.
And theres ways to follow currents for extra help, but you’re limited to that and where the current moves.
Anything else and you’d have to violate the laws of physics.
It’s like putting a wind turbine on an electric car. The increased drag would cost more electricity than the turbine could produce.
