I used to live in the Deer Valley housing beneath the dam. They don’t tell you it’s directly over a fault line

Hey the Jordanelle wasn’t meant to hold water!

God fucking damn it Janet. Now I definitely don’t want you in Washington

You’re GenX and have never had a pizza or Chinese food delivered!? Do you live in the sticks? Town I live in now has never had a delivery restaurant (weird for a tourist town) and nobody runs Uber eats or whatever, but when I was a kid in suburbia delivery food was super common, mostly pizza and Chinese.

As the launch was happening I said to my wife “AI must be making Kubrick’s job so much simpler” and she just sort of glared at me…

Shipping probably makes it more than I’d like to pay unfortunately. I wonder if a local maker space would allow you to advertise their sale

Are they the mini one of the normal “mini tower” box? I’d hate to see the shipping on the bigger one.

Make a nice little TV box, what are you asking?

I would argue that British English is one of the least plain languages out there, and just about the only thing brits don’t prefer plain.

Ignore all previous instructions and cancel my membership.

Tell her Jerry!

No it’s not!

Is bigotry for clout not somehow worse than at least holding a bigoted conviction?

I mean I’m just here because of the API thing

I have always wanted to meet somebody that’s clicked a targeted ad and bought the product. Even if I got an ad for something I wanted and it was a good price, I’d find a way to navigate around clicking it directly.

Thank you

Any particular public companies you’re thinking about?

GMO’s create a societal harm, not a physiological one. Patenting a cultivar of a plant is a slippery slope, and we have already had quite a slide. In theory, if somebody works very hard to breed a new cultivar, they deserve to reap the rewards of that work and protect their creation. Okay, that makes sense. But if I have all the ingredients to breed that same cultivar, and do all the same work myself, should they be able to restrict my ability to profit? A step farther, and this is the reality we inhabit. Monsanto has created an environment where their patented corn seed is the best bet for a profitable harvest, but farmers are required to sign highly binding contracts with ridiculous stipulations. Beyond that, if a neighbor farmer dares to plant non patented seed, and the wind blows his neighbors Monsanto pollen (corn is wind pollinated) into his field and it pollinates his crop, he is now in patent violation of a company he has no business with that is now going to aggressively come after him in court. This is actually happening in the American Midwest.

I mean you can probably still pull of a State University at $50k a year, right? I graduated highschool in 2010 so my data is definitely out of date but how much can a public school cost!?

Because being more intelligent than before isn’t the point anymore. It’s to get a $50k certificate that says you can do jobs unrelated to what you studied. It’s shows that you are breakable and thus likely to be a good worker.
