Correct.

Recognizing people.

I wonder if this is a chicken & egg type of issue. Did people who drink their own piss for some stupid reason fall easier for AI, or are AI users so gullible they fall for piss drinking?

If you had been around as long as I am, you would see it, too.

Because some people are actually too stupid to use the internet, but still use it anyway.

Luckily, we don’t.

As long as they were no burden to others, i’d say they can play 1698 as long as they want. But they are limiting their childrens world view, and that’s where they become a problem.

It is not just an Amish thing. If an adult wants to participate in a brainwasher cult, it’s one thing, but brainwash kids for a cult - nope.

The contacts I last removed were some classmates and school contacts of my daughter, who just finished university…

Of course i use the cashier. First, because I’m there to shop, not to work. Second, because I support the cashiers job. Third, I simply don’t like the robo checkouts.

And no, I’m definitely not “anti technology”, like some people wondered. I f-ing develop computer chips and have been into Linux since kernel 0.97, so i’m definitely inside of tech.

The right is always about clear hierarchy and obedience. The left is more about personal freedom to the point of anarchy. Guess which side organizes better.

Well, at least we know they will return. Imagine the transporter was full of uncredited redshirts…

I wonder how they knew it was him…

But as things are moving in the US, expect similar treatment if you write ‘Trump is an idiot’ in your midterm ballot. Or vote for the Democrat.

Remember the time when railroaders went on strike because they wanted to be treated like pigs?

Because pigs were treated better than railroaders. Pigs were valuable freight and deserved a long rest after being on a train for 12 hours. No similar regulation existed for the people who ran a train…

Of course they welcome racists.

Booting Emacs…

Just do it like the French. They name roads after their most prominent citizens.

Except one. I still have not found whom they named those roads after, especially given that many towns actually have several different roads named after this person.

So, who is this mysterious “Deforme”?

Russia.

Something common among the rising rightwingers is a “Stop punishing poor Russia!”. The AfD in Saxony Anhalt and Meklenburg-Vorpommern for example are very heavy on “give us back the cheap Russian oil and gas!”

I actually hope that the AfD will somehow rule Saxony Anhalt - it would little damage, as it is an irrelevant backwater state, but it would show that they cannot put their election promises in reality. That would either violate the Grundgesetz (Constitution), violate federal law, require gift showers from the federal government, or plain and simple miracles like raining money. Or even several of those points at once.

In a way, yes. Breathing is a very interesting case here. Breathing is controlled by both sides, actually. At night, you don’t want to have to think about breathing in, breathing out. But for diving and swimming and speaking, you need precise and active control.

So there is a complex mechanism to hand over the control from one side to the other. Sudden infant death syndrome is probably linked to the development of this handover process.

Amazing what one can learn in the details. TIL that face musculature is controlled by the hindbrain. I always thought they were run like all the other actively controlled muscles.

Well, yes, but in a complete different way than scientists thought.
