People also need to not support rapists. I mean, give him.support as a friend while clearly letting him know he was wrong. But, to try to ask for leniency minimizes the rapist actions, ignoring the victims.

Enough to convince a jury of his peers. Good enough for me.

They will try to sell based on future payments owed, or projected earnings. Then they will be sued by a big guy for breach of contract, having changed the terms without consent.

Then the money will disappear. Already, the engine will be abandoned. Unity is dead now.

Foss is available and with the programming community now incentivised to use it, it should do well. That might be their play. They knew the end was nigh.

Unit prices shows you the cost per g or ml. This would show changes to historical pricing that you may not notice otherwise.

A product could still be cheapest per unit or in the middle but the increase wasn’t noticed as they changed the packaging and volume of the product. Strange sizes also make comparison difficult without the actual ticket.

I think he means 40 to 50% higher than now. It’s historically quite low at the moment.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis apologize over letters of support for Danny Masterson (abcnews.go.com)

The three women were members of the Church of Scientology, as is Masterson. All three women said they were initially hesitant to speak to law enforcement because they said church teachings discouraged reporting to police. The women eventually left the church....

Isn’t she a scientologist too?

Irish folklore has lots. Banshees are pretty famous. It’s a ghostly wailing you hear at night. When you hear it someone dies.

One of the nicer stories is children cursed to be swans instead of people due to an evil stepmother. They end up outliving everyone and moving to the land of youth, as swans.

Fairies are evil.

Butterflies are a link to the other world.

Hell is cold, as a hot hell, like Christian hell, was considered to provide a small amount of comfort.

hitmyspot ,

Oh, I didn’t know it was in Dante too. I’d always been led to believe it was in contrast to Christian versions of hell but he is kind of the definitive picture of a lot of Christian concepts of hell.

hitmyspot ,

More likely it’s misguided.

hitmyspot ,

Like he’d know, lol. He just lied. There was no change of mind. He just says what he thinks will work in the moment ans tries to make it sound plausible.

hitmyspot ,

I think that’s their point. Instead of weaponising “woke” and fighting culture wars, they could get their grid to code and connect it.

Surprise: Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki has failed to retire a fourth time (www.theverge.com)

The Boy and the Heron, Hayao Miyazaki’s first feature film in a decade, probably won’t be his last after all. Studio Ghibli executive Junichi Nishioka told CBC News that not only does he not feel like retiring anymore, he’s actively coming into work to create yet another film.

Yes, just have to train an ai LLM on his real life and works.

Then we can have generic uninteresting movies with the same look and feel on the surface, but none of the heart.

In a way it’s progress. Future writier might be able to add heart and use the ai to produce the parts they have less skill in.

hitmyspot ,

Yes, downvotea are fine. It’s a form of moderation. Downloading things that add to the conversation but you disagree with is childish

hitmyspot ,

If it’s good enough, upvote it!

If it’s rude or dull, wasting your, and everyone’s time, downvote it.

If it’s neither, do nothing.

Voting is for visibility, not agreement.

hitmyspot ,

I agreed you don’t need to downvore one to elevate another. However, done commenta merit upvote. Many merit nothing but reading. Some merit downvotes.

At a guess, I’d say one downvotes for every 50 upvotes is my stat, but the downvote button has a purpose.

hitmyspot ,

It would suck. But also, you would be a part of history forever.

Some people go overseas and risk their lives in the military and lose family time as well without having as much of an impact on the world. Here, the potential to have a positive impact on society is also profound. To show that all people are equal under the law.

So, yes, it would suck. But it’s still worth it as a society to require people to do this and as a juror it’s better than the equivalent trial that nobody hears about for commercial fraud that takes the same amount of time.

Forgetting it accidentally or not having any food does not make you a bad person. Purposely withholding food from someone in your care without the means to get their own certainly is abusive.

I agree, she shouldn’t have her kids taken away for making them skip one meal. It’s bad, but not horrific Tied up and injured on the other hand…

Is it in the running for most useful word, or have we just run out of words?

hitmyspot ,

Let’s you know which disease you have so you can more accurately know how to protect others. If you’ve a cold, stay home…if you’ve the flu, stay in bed and isolated. If you have covidy stay isolated and get meals delivered to bedroom.with mask and use separate bathroom etc.

A test doesn’t fix covid but if we don’t test, you have to assume every respiratory infection is covid and that’s not ideal for those with kids that get sick on average 14 times a year.

hitmyspot ,

No, I test to know how infective I am and what I’m infected with to limit risk to others.

Haven’t most abandoned him and bad mouthed him. It will be new incompetents and deplorables. Some will be the same, but they are the background people.

I wonder if seeing the problems some allies now have seeking alternative employment or opportunities will give them pause. Then I remember they are not great critical thinkers.

The more moderate Republicans stayed away and rightly so. I don’t think they will be tempted to rejoin. Luckily, he’s got much less chance. His base is shrinking, albeit at a much slower rate than it should. People are more aware of what a terrible person and president he will be. Those paying attentiyalready knew.

You mean happy to agree, happy to disagree. Depends on who is paying for the vacation this month.

I switch back between subscribed and all with blocks on communities. A medium ground with all, including blocks, or ‘quietens’ as well as blocks would help.

Some communities are spammy and I don’t want them cluttering my feed constantly, but complete block seems excessive. An option to only see the best of their posts would be good. So perhaps they would be quietened to see a max number of top posts or have a ratio applied to their popularity in my feed.

Some communities I do want to block forever though. The problem is subscribed is very limited until the communities build out. All is too spammy and requires lots of curation. We need a middle ground.

To be fair, the companies are raking in huge profits on the vaccines still. They can afford to do faster research themselves. If the public coffers pay, they should get equity.

hitmyspot ,

Ugh, if only we knew we could have fixed it years ago by saying we’re tired of it. That would have saved a lot of hassle.

Research into vaccines doesn’t preclude any of those conversations and coronavirus still uses up lots of health resources. Better vaccines for new variants would help healthcare in general.

hitmyspot ,

No, because you are posting on a non profit forum, so the outrage clicks don’t help them.

hitmyspot ,

It’s no longer wine. The wine is destroyed. They do not plan to breach the laws of physics, lol. It’s clickbaity but not crazy inaccurate.

Gareth Edwards New Film The Creator Releasing In September 29 (i.postimg.cc)

PLOT: Taking place in a future impacted by a war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, the film’s plot follows an ex-special forces agent who is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war by destroying mankind itself.

Or when the stars can’t promote it, it’s not a big deal if they are not that famous. And with others gone, the competition is easier. I wouldn’t read into the comparison too much. There are valid arguments in all directions. Each will make a decision that matches their predictions and their projected differences by moving.

hitmyspot ,

Raising interest rates to fight inflation works by reducing demand. Jobs get lost so people have less money. So they spend less, so prices drop to be more competitive.

Only poorer people obviously. Rich people are less affected, but still pay more in interest. The increased number of unemployed people means competition for jobs is higher so workers are cheaper to pay, increasing profits again.

High inflation is bad for everyone, but particularly so for the poorer, too. However, measures to fight it should be spread across society. Instead blunt tools like interest rate rises disproportionately affect the poor. They should be combined with higher taxes on business and high earners and high net worth individuals. Worldwide we only really do the first. I wonder who decides?

hitmyspot ,

Biodegradable wet wipes are a thing. They are a bit rougher but not bad.

Biodegradable nappies/diapers exist too but they are awful. Similar to try cloth or reusable (with a changeable lining). Awful.

I’m sorry, your comment has not been posted. This thread is closed as it has been marked as [SOLVED]

Yes, but larger variety of active communities is better overall.

Having often run into problems where apps won’t download with current versions of android, is there a maxSDK too?

hitmyspot ,

I get that it’s up to the devs to authorise it. It just seems odd that they seem to require manual review for some apps and others is just a minimum. Perhaps it’s a setting.

hitmyspot ,

Ireland is still an option for UK citizens. If you have skills, nz, Australia or Canada are welcoming too.

It’s not all bad.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with Jews playing gentiles or gentiles playing Jews. It’s that putting on a nose prosthetic is seen as trying to match a caricature that was used in antisemiric propaganda. The prosthetic appears to be more pronounced than the real nose he had, so it seems an odd choice. However, it seems earnest in seeking to portray him and the family are fine with it. I think it’s a mountain made out of a molehill, but I understand why the question is being asked.

hitmyspot ,

It exists. It’s called android! Honestly though, that’s why Google developed it. They wanted to maintain control and stay as the primary Internet portal for mobile users. Banking, messaging, gaming and productivity all passes through them.

We chat has similar in China but only because competitors were stifled. It won’t work in the west as competition for any aspect will be better for some people and anticompetitive behavior will be clamped down on even if it started to work.

hitmyspot ,

You mean all the messaging?

hitmyspot ,

It’s not the same. It’s Elon thinking it can be with an app, but it can’t. It’s google realising over 10 years ago that to have that level of control in the western markets, you need to have an entire platform, not an app. Elon can’t even get Twitter to do one thing well, let alone all the things.

hitmyspot ,

The measurement of the act doesn’t change the act.

I think the difference is websites have a terms of service they expect you to follow. If you have an account you have agreed to that. TV doesn’t.

Don’t worry, they will divest now while it’s propped up. When they are divested and it’s suckers holding the bag, they will be fine with wfh.

The dam is broken, there is no going back. It will be different by company and industry but it’s not going away.

Rat tests are about 5 to 10 bucks around here. They are not as accurate, but does it change the treatment if you have flu or covidy? Bed rest, fluids, painkillers, avoid people.

hitmyspot ,

Like all the vaccines do far, they will likely reduce your risk of catching it and reduce your symptoms and risk of hospitalisation or death. None have eliminated the chance to catch it or get symptoms.

That’s not to say they don’t work. That’s how they work. They make your immune system better at dealing with them. Each new variant and time increases your risk again.

hitmyspot ,

Or maybe they live in an area that uses technology for better appointment systems and stock management. Let’s not try and assign beliefs to comments that aren’t about it.

There is a bunch of communities on Aussie.zone

It’s sparse for now, but they are growing. In users, content and engagement.

The sh is silent. Unfortunately, he doesn’t hear people telling him to be quiet.

Ssshhh.

The reason unions take a ballot is to decide what their members want. Then they act in unison, irrespective of whether their preferred outcome was successful. It’s perfectly normal for some members to disagree with the outcome, but still support it. I think he made foolish comments, but this is a non story.

hitmyspot ,

It doesn’t even have apps for most tvs or devices. Complete joke.
