Me: Please let me know how many homeless people each church would need to host to help all the homeless people

ChatGPT: Each church in the United States would need to host approximately 1.87 homeless people to accommodate all the homeless individuals in the country.

That is truly absurd!

Supermassive black hole roars to life as astronomers watch in real time (arstechnica.com)

In December 2019, astronomers were surprised to observe a long-quiet galaxy, 300 million light-years away, suddenly come alive, emitting ultraviolet, optical, and infrared light into space. Far from quieting down again, by February of this year, the galaxy had begun emitting X-ray light; it is becoming more active. Astronomers...

Say hello to the light cone.

If true, I wish I could give you more than my sad one up-vote.

WildPalmTree ,

So… YouTube Premium.

WildPalmTree ,

Agreed. Check it out.

WildPalmTree ,

Multitask. Listen to a podcast AND do what you are doing now. Can’t be many people that sit down, focus and say “I’ll now listen to a podcast and do nothing else”.

WildPalmTree ,

Always was.

All very true but missing one point. Most (all?) current “regular currency” is fiat (let it be done) with no backing except tax payments and government spending. Sure, that’s not nothing but it’s also not so much something.

Crypto, as fiat currency, has the value people ascribe to it. If it can be traded for goods and/or services, it has value. What value? Only time will tell.

I was just waiting for the n900 whining so that I could join in. Damn, I miss my n900. It had flaws but for its time, it was amazing. With a good CPU, I’d buy it today in a heartbeat.

Used to be true. See countries affecting populations in foreign countries. Propaganda is not local.

Trump was forced to listen silently as potential jurors offered their unvarnished assessments of him (apnews.com)

New Yorkers who said they couldn’t approach the case fairly were excused during jury selection. But one of the women with the harshest assessments of him will be among those who will determine his fate on 34 counts of falsifying business records....

Ditto!

Israeli Weapon Damaged Iranian Air Defenses Without Being Detected, Officials Say (www.nytimes.com)

“The two Iranian officials said the weapon had struck an S-300 antiaircraft system at a military base in the nearby province of Isfahan. The officials’ account is supported by satellite imagery analyzed by The New York Times, which showed damage to the radar of an S-300 system at the Eighth Shekari Air Base in Isfahan.”...

That being the point of the quote…

“turgid prose”. Way to keep a similar tone.

WildPalmTree ,

Upvoted because “ddged”. Wonderful. 😊

It refers to the part that makes it into Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. Even stretching it, it supplies Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. The possessive form does not indicate control over all or part of the supply.

My water supply comes from the county. Your air supply comes from, well… the air, or the Earth.

If Europe still was the colonial power it once was, you might have a point. Not a semantic one but a “bad choice of word”-one. But it’s not and so you don’t.

WildPalmTree ,

Finally someone that commented with a keyword I could search for in my settings (Samsung). Thank you!

WildPalmTree ,

Potassium is named after pot ash, if I remember correctly.

…or just buy Uber…

Not American, but I would assume the Black-Scholes model will be used for valuation.

WildPalmTree ,

Options can come with or without the obligation to buy the underlying asset. I’d assume they will never be worth less than worthless.

Why?! I dont get it. What kind of psychopath doesn’t put the cap back on when empty. Who opens a bottle, throws the cap away, and chugs away?! How is this a problem? I’m just so baffled this was/is a problem.

WildPalmTree ,

Sorry, I missed that. That’s actually really interesting and the only good answer I’ve seen so far; people doing harm thinking they are doing good. Still hate it though… The cap gets in the way of drinking.

WildPalmTree ,

But it’s one of the few benefits of plastic bottles; if I don’t finish it, I can re-seal it. It’s not about spilling, it’s about preserving.

WildPalmTree ,

True enough. Didn’t think of it as I’m used to a recycling system where you don’t crush them. In fact, if you did, you wouldn’t get your deposit back.

WildPalmTree ,

I understand that’s the reason. My point it, I’m surprised and amazing this doesn’t happen automatically already. I’ve never not put the cork back on a bottle when it was empty.

WildPalmTree ,

Upvoted because proper’ish use of 10 and one. :)

But you want to actively not-accuse her…

DOJ: Ex-IRS employee who leaked Trump's tax returns intentionally got job to disclose records (www.usatoday.com)

A former Internal Revenue Service contractor, who leaked tax information about Donald Trump and other wealthy individuals to news organizations, got his job to intentionally to spread the confidential records, according to Justice Department prosecutors....

WildPalmTree ,

Sweden. It’s not for the current year but the previously declared incomes. Anyone can get them. Seems to work just fine.

WildPalmTree ,

Amazing movie that everyone should watch.

WildPalmTree ,

Looks great. A recipe would be even better.

WildPalmTree ,

Why bother. Version two is already available. Voyager 2 by NASA.
