That explains why I repel people.

I checked with a friend of mine who uses Verizon, and they were able to get my message from AT&T.

The article also points out this seems to be a thing in the Midwest. And AT&T’s outage map says my area is fine. So ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

You should listen to your medical professional

Yes, and absolutely, No! If you’ve built a rapport with somebody, and you trust them, then yes listen to them. If you feel uncomfortable with them, then get a second (or third) opinion. If you’re ever unsure about why your doctor suggested something, ask them questions. If they wave you off or get offended, then maybe they don’t have your best interest at heart, and are more concerned for their pride.

The point is, you are your only advocate*. If you do not stand up for yourself, no one else will. It’s also important to note that your mind is yours alone. Only you know how you feel, what you think, and can make decisions based on your thoughts. Do your best to convey them to others as you can, but give yourself grace in that you can’t always make people understand you.

• There are always exceptions, and some people cannot advocate for themselves. In my non-medical opinion, OP doesn’t sound like someone who cannot advocate for themselves.

How much of that is third-party libraries, and/or third-party hosted? Obviously the assets (images and music) aren’t being counted.

I would imagine that KKK rallies aren’t publicly advertised. Furthermore, I’d imagine if you were in the KKK (or close to members), you’d know about the meetings.

Sometimes it just takes a little nudge to get your shot shit in order.

Trades like plumber, electricians, etc make good money. Especially if they unionize and get that OT.

dohpaz42 , 4 days ago

Yup. I think that’s prevalent in all industries and trades. They want the big money, and do not want to put in the time and effort that it requires to earn it. I mean, in some ways I get it because we all got bills to pay. But at the same time, you don’t actually need that boat or the F350. No! You don’t!

Why do we call it hallucinating? Call it what it is: lying. You want to be more “nice” about it: fabricating. “Google’s AI is fabricating more lies. No one dead… yet.”

dohpaz42 , 5 days ago

I did look up an article about it that basically said the same thing, and while I get “lie” implies malicious intent, I agree with you that fabricate is better than hallucinating.

dohpaz42 , 5 days ago

There’s also the argument that “if we don’t do it, somebody else would,” and I kind of understand that, while I also disagree with it.

dohpaz42 , 5 days ago

It sounds like you misunderstand the situation. The city banned flying any flag not approved on city-owned property; like police stations, city hall, etc. This is not a ban for the residents. The distinction is important, because it only serves to disenfranchise certain voters. And about that: how could you call yourself liberal if you’re okay with disenfranchisement of any kind? You might as well call yourself libertarian.

That was great, up until the part about GNU. GNU hasn’t had anything to do with BSD for over a decade. Maybe use POSIX instead. 😊

A “bipartisan” group doing the most partisan thing they could to punish someone with opposing views.

dohpaz42 , 6 days ago

To be fair, I’d never thought he’d get this far. So maybe, just maybe, at least in an alternate universe, justice will actually be served. 🤞

dohpaz42 , 6 days ago

You can always* appeal a court verdict. So, no, this most certainly was not the final decision.

• The one exception that I’m aware of is that you cannot appeal a SCOTUS decision.

dohpaz42 , 6 days ago

Have you seen the directors cut of butterfly effect? Yeah, I’d like that ending in my alternate universe.

For starters, he’s both French and works for Meta. 😏

But beyond that, from a professional perspective this guy has pioneered so much stuff that we take for granted today; like check scanning and OCR. I mean he is touted as one of the godfathers of ai.

Why can’t it be both?

dohpaz42 , 7 days ago

I can live with downvotes. It’s the internet and not everyone knows me. And to be fair, I’ve made some “friends” along the way.

But to your point, in the Venn Diagram of life, I admittedly was basing my question on the smaller subset of actual papers that are scientific in nature, and certainly not fantasy novels. You do raise a good point about published and peer reviewed pseudoscience, like cosmology. I would hope that , as pointed out by Yann LaCun, those publications need to be reviewed and vetted by people too and that’s where their claims hopefully fall apart.

I digress. I see now how my questions holds a lot of assumptions; which by its very nature is unscientific. It was an earnest question, so I thank you for pointing out its flaws.

My favorite is when I get emailed by “hackers” who have one of my old passwords. 🤣

I mean the earth has already survived having the first moon crash into it, as well as a giant meteor that caused an ice age. We have t quite gotten to that level, yet.

Many physicists since a long time have been believing that string theory would be the theory that would unify quantum mechanics and general relativity to get the theory of everything.

So string theory is the Chosen One and which one of the other two has the high ground?

Heathen! You must alphabetize all the things!

Like seriously. It makes scanning code much easier.

Why would S1E2 of Doctor Who (2005) be the only episode you watched? That seems weird to me.

But, I personally wasn’t the biggest fan of Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor. He did a fantastic job, but David Tennent had so much more energy and flare. Him and Katherine Tate’s Doctor + Companion in Season 4 was comedic genius.

I can’t speak to the last two Doctors they’ve had, but up until then, the series is simply fantastic. And, they go out of their way to pay homage to the original Doctors many times over. Probably even in ways I’ve never noticed because I’ve not watched the original Doctor Who.

dohpaz42 , 11 days ago

I’d strongly recommend powering through. Though I guess you could skip season 1 if you wanted. You’d miss a few references, but IIRC, nothing major. It does get better.

dohpaz42 , 11 days ago

Not from; about. The answer seems perfectly legit: it describes The Onion as satirical news, and even quotes part of the question as something The Onion calls itself. Not too far fetched.

Where’s the fault? Ooooh yeah, I forgot. We’re trashing Google. Carry on then.

dohpaz42 , 11 days ago

Fair point. But, when the article image makes it look like trash-talk, I’m not compelled to read the article. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This is a common problem when testing time-based software. And similarly why it’s difficult to test database-drive software. You have to put a lot of effort into setting up a good environment for testing and genuinely understand the software and its dependencies.

It really is the same thing though. It’s out of touch, insulting, and downright disrespectful to use something that is not unique to the provider, or valuable at all, as a reason to stay with said provider.

dohpaz42 , 12 days ago

Someone already made a documentary about such a thing happening.

dohpaz42 , 12 days ago

Yeah, Fuck Spectrum is right up there with ACAB and other popular creeds. But good on your ISP for being true to their word. It really is for the best anyway. Everybody wins; except Spectrum. Fuck Spectrum.

I’d also add -H when grep’ing multiple files and –color if your terminal supports it.

dohpaz42 , 13 days ago

I’m not at a terminal right meow, but I believe it also bolds the found term(s). So there’s that, maybe?

I lack the creativity, but someone please come up with a recursive acronym for Stallman.

This is awesome! I can only imagine how exciting that must’ve been for Cpt. Dwight. Well deserved.

By your logic, human existence is the point in which things exist. And by that logic, fossils wouldn’t exist. Nor dinosaurs, the earth, or even the beginning of the universe (however you believe it came to be).

I would argue that poetry is more than the mere written word arranged in a rhyming schema. It extends to being anything that sparks creativity of the mind. e.g., The colors of the sunset reflecting off the surface of a pond that ripples from an animal jumping on the water. Surely that existed before humans?

Now I would certainly agree that it took humans to best articulate it by being able to write (or otherwise convey) these moments into more than a fleeting moment in their memory.

When using both {} and ;, it’s safer to use single quotes to escape the current argument and ending delimiter; eg ’{}’ and ’;’, respectively.

Those ears look like German Shepard. The rest of him hints at Pit Bull.

If that’s even remotely close to accurate, you’ve got a super intelligent good boy on your hands. And while intelligence can be good, it can also lead to a lot of trouble. 😅 make sure to keep him stimulated and tired. 🤣

Not only did he get an unpopular truck, but he still uses Reddit. This guy is 0-2. What’s next?

No! Bad DarkThoughts!

You call a tow truck and have the vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.

As a web developer, I’d say I feel insulted by such a wild accusation, but then I’d be lying. 😅

Another good question would be how much of that debt’s interest is being subsidized by the government?

You’re not at fault in your assumption. They were talking about the barge in one sentence, and then electricity being restored in the following sentence. They should have clarified in the latter sentence the subject to which the electricity was restored; eg “electricity was restored to the University….” It’s ironic that an institute of higher learning used such bad grammar.
