Satan did lead an uprising with a third of the heavenly host. Satan must be pretty convening.

Or you know, Demiurge is a dick.

It has been said that for the outlying regions of the Roman Empire, the collapse only meant that when the unused bridge fell down, no one came to fix it. (Undoubtedly I have garbled it.)

It has also been said “We are a long way from Beijing”, which means the central government is a long way away and don’t know what we are doing and impact our lives little.

Some things will really suck. They will suck far more than I can imagine. We will still have local police and hospitals. Medical care will get worse. There may be less food in the non-agriculture states, but that will be fixed with trade or war.

Lots of people will die. Likely you and I will die.

Some states will link up to make their own countries. Canada may invite some states to join. Same with Mexico (New Mexico maybe…)

Very much a “things I do not control”.

Every groups have a “testing”. Some also have a “production”.

Looking into it, it seems that perhaps it was not notable until recently. This is likely a limitation of my searches and popular understanding. Does anyone know of ancient Greek writing on the subject? (Perhaps I am too quick to discount the trained memorization of bards and storytellers of old, which I understand typically used memorization and not Total Recall?)

Funes the Memorious was written long after the camera was invented.

The Wikipedia pages on Eidetic Memory and Hyperthymesia cover different aspects, but neither cites anything older than “Funes the Memorious”. “Total Recall” is also used for the ability, but also does not appear to have a long history.

Unrelated but fun: ‘Photographic Memory’ The story of how we stored digital photographs

Great headline. I appreciate the total being included! (Because we criticize the bad headlines, we should also highlight the good headlines.)

FYI, this is the same family as the article from the summer. I was uncertain as I had expected they had last been in Russian longer than a few months.

I am of the opinion that not discussing these things is an analog to the Paradox of Tolerance, if not being exactly what the Paradox is about. If we don’t discuss the hatefulness, then the hateful think they are doing fine.

Attacking only causes people to “dig in”. Passive aggressive actions will make you look weak.

Being cordial while also calling out instances of hate as they occur would likely be fine. Be strong and confident, but keep corrections short and to the point (Imagine correctly a 5 year old. Understanding and care, not anger, and keep things in reality.) “That didn’t happen.”, “Why would a criminal say that?”, “Toddlers visiting basketball plays, will reduce the average height, but no one gets shorter or taller.”

Progressive talk radio does exist and came be pretty good.

People just don’t notice the quiet ones. There are dozens of us.

Me too!

And I quickly found out why everyone else had left. (The job after was good though.)

I might pay to watch Techmoan install Gentoo. (I am a big fan. Loved his dashcam reviews.)

I agree with you. The implications are staggering.

The kernel change in WinXP really helped stability. It was certainly easy to have a bad install with any of them though.

Win98 SE was my personal “best experience” with Windows, with WinXP a close second. (Though this likely has to do with the hardware and tasks I was experiencing at the time.)

“moist”

Just fans of “Dead Like Me” trying for a third season.

Remember how much people HATED Win95? They still moved to it to escape DOS, but still. Loads of hate.

Ah, but I bet those monkeys produce more text than Shakespeare! At least within the last 6 months!

Seems a better prompt could solve that.

One’s dishwasher is not exposed to a harsh environment. A large percentage of code is exposed to an openly hostile environment.

If a dishwasher breaks, it can destroy a floor, a room, maybe the rooms below. If code breaks it can lead to the computer, then network, being compromised. Followed by escalating attacks that can bankrupt a business and lead to financial ruin. (This is possibly extreme, but cyber attacks have destroyed businesses. The downside risks of terrible code can be huge.)

It negatively impacts the children.

The steel of the case melted long ago… I guess the carpet is ruined.
