Interesting idea but I’m confused as to why it’s a phone app? Of the many ways I have read papers my phone is by far the worst choice.

Has anyone found a way to use the ebooks without Amazon? Every one I’ve joined has used Libby to access Kindle books and I haven’t found a different way to access the content.

Yeah I think you’re right, the silver cutout by the door is a newer Ford Fx50 thing, but the rest of the styling isn’t that close, the lettering isn’t right, and the new Ford truckss I think all have a step cutout in front of the rear wheel

Man if even mainstream news like the guardian are talking about it you know it’s gotten awful.

I think the surprise move is Massie’s privileged impeachment resolution, not that Johnson is a spineless coward who’s trying to rig as many things as he can

I think the down votes are probably because I’ve never encountered a space where Indians are considered white, maybe in Silicon Valley? I hear more racist jokes about Indians than any other ethnic group in the Southeast US, though I hear more racist comments about black people and Hispanics.

I don’t have a researched answer, but the reason breastfeeding women can still drink is because breast milk also shares the blood alcohol level so when Mom is too drunk to drive, baby is drinking alcoholic milk with a percentage ~0.08%; for reference non alcoholic beer can be up to 0.5% and alcoholic beer is generally anywhere between 2.5-10%.

All that to say that idk anything about mosquito physiology but with arbitrary assumptions of roughly equal alcohol tolerances between humans and mosquitos, and with a human blood alcohol limit of ~0.4% before the human dies of alcohol, those mosquitoes are sipping on nonalcoholic beer no matter how drunk you get. Unless they have abnormally low tolerance, and a quick Google search doesn’t suggest they do, humans can’t raise their blood alcohol enough to impair mosquitos.

Every single one of those examples does have contrasts though. The mission Church wood is a different color, and the shadows you can see of the ceiling provide a third. The brutality has starkly different windows, the stairwell is accented in beige, and there is a lot of texture in the concrete. villa savoye has contrasted base, window trim, and again the white starkly contrasts with the reflective windows. Idk what this person’s neighbor house looks like but solid untextured teal (or any color) would look pretty weird imo without at least some differences in tone, texture, or like natural colored window frames at least.

Lots of good answers, but I’ll throw another in: pollution of the Internet with slop. I’ll search for e.g. what good flashlights with ‘n’ features are and there will be hundreds of near-identical listicles that are clearly hallucinated. I’ll try to look at a local restaurant’s menu and it will bring me to a fabricated webpage with ai generated images of food (with Wonder brand Hont Doug bundts yesterday!) and a menu that is very obviously factually incorrectly.

There have always been low-effort fake listicles and bad information, but it used to be easy to avoid the couple links per search or to refine the search to be specific enough to rule them out. Now I’m not convinced there aren’t websites that generate poor quality content on the fly based on whatever I just searched.

Sidephone, key phone, ikko one with the optional keyboard, upcoming clicks communicator, and dumber mini are all modern semi-smart keyboard phones at or below their discounted introductory price for the base model, with similar enough specs in most areas. Most of these are on some sort of privacy AOSP rom too.

And that’s not including all the unihertz, blue fox, and other Chinese phones that would compete

I think their stock valuations are typically of the stock they own rather than total stock. Bezos for instance owns 8% of Amazon.

He got it wrong, a lot of them like them in between as long as they’re on an island waiting for them.

Curious why that year? You have to go much older to predate any surveillance tech. Like some cars in the 90s had GPSs embedded, not sure when the ability to offload data arose but no later than 2007 in OnStar equiped vehicles.

I believe they’ve actually added noise components to the driving axle so it’s a mechanically produced sound even, which is pretty cool imo.

I guarantee it’ll be badly coded and introduce vulnerabilities, which for government phones could be national security threats

Definitely her over Trump, but she has to get past the primaries first, and we cannot forget that she ended up being a supremely feckless candidate on all the core voter issues that gave her momentum at the beginning of her abridged campaign.

There’s an entire chocolate episode literally every season? And they’ve done caramel weeks several times too.

Tens of millions voted for him the second time, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a good chunk of the 600k came through a few big donors and this was yet another money laundering scheme like the coin, that happened to catch a bunch of morons in the mix.

I mean, I didn’t say world ending, I said species ending. With climate change we have already observed species going extinct at an increasingly quick pace, and it’s hubris to think we couldn’t eventually be one of them if things continue.

Likewise, the potential for nuclear war seems less unlikely than it did 5 years ago, 10, or 20 years ago, and would wipe out many species and could potentially wipe out humanity, or enough of humanity to permanently reshape the species.

The rhetoric of the entire world ending is extremist, but it’s not sci-fi anymore to imagine that in a few generations there may be no recognizable modern humans, even if there are bipedal hominids still roaming around. It’s not even speculative to imagine a world missing many of its current species, just go to any coral reef and compare it to pictures from 50 years ago.

And because we’re facing several potential species-ending threats which hasn’t happened before 1945, and is worse now than it was then.
