With the lack of moisture and high sodium, the hamburger is immortal; the fridge will suffer a circuit board failure when the power goes out; and those trucks are designed to be planned obsolete in 5 years
Did you solve it? It looks as if it’s generated. I would guess it’s the lower fridge in case the items are supposed to be falling and the fridge will be the first one to hit the floor.
Stopping smoking is easy, i used to do it every time my cigarette went out, quitting on the other hand is a lifelong task, but it is worth the struggle. I still crave cigarettes to this day, but dont miss being a slave to that addiction. I would literally collect cigarette butts off the ground and reroll them. If i can quit so can you.
Based on the whimsical nature of the objects described in the image, it’s a bit challenging to determine the shortest lifespan as they are not typical living organisms. However, if we consider the objects metaphorically, the burger-shaped car might represent a food item, which typically has a shorter lifespan due to its perishable nature. In contrast, vehicles and cameras usually have longer lifespans as they are non-perishable goods. So, in the context of the CAPTCHA, you might consider selecting the burger-shaped car as the object with the shortest lifespan. Remember, CAPTCHAs can be subjective, and the correct answer may vary depending on the specific logic programmed into the test.
They are using these as unpaid human labor to train the generator model. It’s a cheap way to annoy users and hop on the dick of the latest ShitAii trend, so any manager with even a whiff of capitalism in their blood is jumping on it.
Pretty much this. Google’s captchas some years ago were all about pointing out road related things, like semaphores, other cars, buses, etc, because self driving AI was just around the corner.
hCaptcha, the one in this image, is literally using us to train/refine art prompts. I’ve had a number that asked me to choose the pictures that showed a “whatever”, with the 9 images for clicking being obviously AI genned. Sometimes, it accepts 2 rights and 1 wrong.
Right? The captchas are getting ridiculous to the point that solving them means you’re not human. Because human would get fed up with this shit and leave
It is for certain people, but not typically. I know two people who quit cold turkey and my fiancee knows another one. Everyone else has fought and struggled, relapsed, or shifted to e-cigs.
Strangely this can be true for hard drugs too. As I understand it, biology is a big part of it, but psychological, social, and circumstantial factors are pretty important too.
I was one of those people and consider myself very lucky. My first puff was at 9 but I didn’t start regularly smoking until I was 14. In a third-world country where the laws, if they even existed, were hardly enforced, it was easy to buy smokes as a minor. It was normal, even.
I smoked through my teens and 20s and into my 30s. Then one day, I decided to quit because I knew it wasn’t healthy and I had seen pictures of smokers’ lungs. I didn’t experience any “jonesing” and didn’t need to replace the habit with gum or patches or anything. It might have helped that I worked from home at the time and was addicted to video games, so I was very motivated to stay at home. I turn 50 this year and haven’t smoked since.
I still to this day don’t know how it worked, but I remember back when I would pirate games and often there would be like 20 different compressed archives, but somehow you only need to decompress one of them and the game would install. Was like magic.
Multipart archives still exist. They’re now used for file sharing websites that have a maximum file size. Before that they were for unreliable p2p networks, so you didn’t lose the parts you’d already downloaded when your peer goes offline. Originally it was to fit something big on multiple cd-roms or floppies.
Opening somthing.rar also reads the data in somthing.r01 through somthing.r15 etc

Oh so it’s just kinda a part of the rar specification then? How did that work on CDs or floppies, if presumably you’d have had to swap out to insert the next part?
Yes, it asks for the next part if it’s not in the same folder with the same name, doesn’t really make a difference what it’s stored on. Multipart zip and tar also exist.
So the first file acts as a sort of index? From the earlier comment I thought it was autodetecting the presence of the numbered files and expanding what it found.
It’s going to have some metadata to that effect yes, like a file index or number of parts or total extracted file size. I don’t know the details, I’ve used them I haven’t read the spec. rar is Rarlab’s proprietary format so there might not even be a public spec.
They’re normally all the same size except for the last part, so it’s not that file 1 is just an index.
Most compression programs offer a way to separate your thing in multiple parts, I know 7zip and Peazip do.
I’ve recently had to properly rename the latter part of a multipart zip because the source I got it from probably just renamed the parts it stole from elsewhere, which broke the whole “extract part 1, everything else comes along!”
Fuck they don’t. Stop paying people to destroy your health! I stopped just like that. I take care of my father in laws who smoked until he was 75. Lost his leg due to poor circulation. Lost toes on second leg. Doctor was able to squeeze out circulation in one last hardening artery in his remaining leg. Told him if he didn’t quit he would lose that too. He stopped smoking the next day. Still has that leg. We use nitro patches to keep circulation going on his foot. If he gets a sore or cut it takes months to heal.
Fuck smoking! Don’t trade your later days for today.
It was for my dad, he smoked from 16 till about mid 40s, then one day he said I’m done with the expense of this habit and never went back. My mom kept smoking till 60 then just gave it up. For some will power is enough
I do have empathy. It is a very steep hill. For some, seemingly vertical. I also care very much about people’s health (and my own). Your health is more important than the urge or habit. My point is mostly that if we had the ability to be in our future bodies to feel the effects we all know are coming, that hill would be horizontal.
That may have worked for you but for other people it’s not so easy nicotine is very addictive and smoking also makes you feel good it makes you rely on it mentally and physically and you don’t feel like yourself when you stop smoking also smoking is related to being social with your friends and having breaks at work witch are good for your mental health
I keep hearing how addictive nicotine is (7x more than heroin??), but in my experience, i never got addicted. Is there something wrong with my brain?
I never smoked two packs a day, but i spent at least 3 years smoking socially (2 or 3 smokes at work every day and then 2 or 3 smokes at the bar on the weekend). So around a pack a week.
But during that time, i could always just take a week or two off if i needed to. I always wanted a smoke (especially with a beer or coffee) but i could resist the urge, no problem.
At the end of the 3 years, i just quit cold turkey. I would keep smoking once in a while with a beer, but i never went back to regular smoking…
Do you only get addicted if you’re smoking a pack a day or more?
i was talking more about how mobile chrome can’t adblock, so it has ads just not on the app itself, and desktop chrome will soon not be able to effectively
The thing is, using a Chromium-based browser isn’t contributing to their monopoly unless Google holds sway over the fork. Brave, Vivaldi, those two are generally fine and stand against what Google has been up to.
You can’t truly degoogle chromium without a hard fork. Soft forks are still enabling them and their grip on the web, even if they’re not specifically spying on you in particular.
The Vivaldi team is working hard to gut the Google spyware in Chromium on every update. Because of this only security patches are in realtime, all other updates are 1-2 weeks behind. The rest remains as user choice in the settings (save browsing, Chrome Store (without Vivaldi isn’t even recognized as Chromium), G DNS and little else). Therefore, Vivaldi can be seen a hard fork. No data sended to Google, nor other third party companies (excepting naturally extensions and search engines you use, they can be not so private in any browser, Mullvad also recommend to use less extensions possibles).
Sure it is. Everyone starts trying to be sure things render correctly on Chromium based browsers and nothing else. Next thing you know people say “Wow Chromium based browsers render pages more reliably than everything else” and then you end up somewhere not too differently from where we were heading. Everything that’s not based on Chromium starts getting tossed aside.
They are contributing to Google’s hold over web specs. If Google decides to implement a feature off spec, then website developers will optimise for that implementation because it will be the implementation used by all chromium based browsers. And that leads to worse performance for other browsers with a more correct implementation.
