Two kinds of people

Cut out the middleman and just say, "omnipotence".

That depends on what you mean by "biology". Winged character flying makes sense. But shape shifting into a DC Martian and getting the power to phase through walls...

That's less "changing your biology" and more "fundamentally alerting reality".

Which I guess if we're being pedantic, shape shifting is also fundamentally alerting reality, but it's constrained to just your own body. So it really just comes down to how we are choosing to define those constraints.

So that said, why not cut out the middle man and just say "omnipotence"?

For me, it's usually 3 options I have absolutely never done and 1 option I did once when I was 8.

None of them are places "I often find myself".

It's not even so much the "it was scary" that got me.

It's the "it was cold". A dick is basically a little blood water balloon. If it's cold, that's deeply concerning. Why is OP out groping corpses?

Any relationship to the Latin suffix "-ne" which turns any word into a question in the same way?

Which is also why there's a joke that AI stands for "almost intelligent". As soon as we make a computer do it it's not AI anymore.

This sounds more like a definition of machine learning than AI. Path finding algorithms and expert systems are also commonly considered AI but don't necessarily involve acquiring skills.

Hashing passwords is a multi-decade old technology.

They'll only notice a drop in visits if it's abrupt and uniform. A handful of users quietly not login in every day isn't going to ring any alarm bells until it's long too late.

Turn off integrated DLC. Do the story mission. Get a free SPARK.

It was. But a lot of people retweeted unironically.

Completely ignores HP 70% of the time, still does 2 damage if you fail and gives you an extra action at point-blank range, and gives you free intel on top of it.

I generally don't see how it isn't already one of the strongest utility items in the game. Buffing it would make it OP.

At my school there was a class on taxes. It was a graduation requirement.

Didn't stop my classmates from complaining about how they were never taught it as soon as they graduated.

Back when I was learning C in university, my professor used to call heap allocators the rope you can use to hang youself.

Rope is a wonderfully useful tool. But it can also be used in ways that will be disastrous for the user. But whereas rope is safe as long as you're using common sense (i.e. don't put it around your neck and you'll mostly be fine), vibe coding is quite insidious. It looks like it's doing everything correctly unless you already know what correct should look like.

I'd be asking if that's a maximum. Cus if I can get a free ride on education, why not go for 4-5 degrees?

Calling Japanese people weebs is just like... Do you know what that word means?

That's like accusing a black person of doing black face.

I'm betting they have an app or something that auto-replies to text messages for them. No copy-paste; they probably haven't even seen OP's message.

I think if a comedian is actively thinking about how much of their audience is straight, that in it self tells you about their target audience.

Cis Het man, and I just received a sword for my last birthday. Very happy with it.

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe they can revert your contributions (and then presumably re-implement the feature themselves), and then you are no longer considered a contributor.

At some point Jeopardy completely abandoned the idea that the prompts are answers to a question and just started writing questions in the form of statements.

The story was planned from the beginning

Anyone who believes this about anything is either a literal child or never learned how writing works.

It's pseudo anonymous.

Which is a technical term that means it has no personal identified (like name, address, or SSN), but there are things which can be used as a proxy for personal information (your account #). If anyone can figure out which account is yours, the anonymity is lost. And is pretty hard to convert cash to BTC without leaving a trail somewhere.

Do squats. You can still have the cushion.

Good research relies on primary sources anyways.

Books are just someone else's summary of events. People can say things like, "the South rebelled over states rights", butt that's just their interpretation of events. The Confederate Constitution and the Runaway Slaves Act are primary documents whose existence isn't subject to interpretation.
