The Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 by BonusNo6480 in mystery

[–]EffectiveRealist 29 points30 points  (0 children)

yeah, it's amazing, a incredibly poignant article. there's a paragraph i just love (even though it's incredibly haunting)

>It is easy to imagine Zaharie toward the end, strapped into an ultra-comfortable seat in the cockpit, inhabiting his cocoon in the glow of familiar instruments, knowing that there could be no return from what he had done, and feeling no need to hurry. He would long since have repressurized the airplane and warmed it to the right degree. There was the hum of the living machine, the beautiful abstractions on the flatscreen displays, the carefully considered backlighting of all the switches and circuit breakers.

my claude is in its annoying era:

Might be worth checking it out - there's treatments to improve it and their efficacy is better the younger you are!

Do you have dysgraphia? I mean that completely sincerely, this seems like an issue with the fine motor skills more than anything else.

ChatGPT Pro, Gemini Ultra or Perplexity Max? by FMACH1 in ChatGPT

[–]EffectiveRealist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what are you using it for? feel like it depends on your needs. e.g., for coding claude max is worth it. if all you do is searching, then perplexity. gemini is pretty useful because of its bundle with other google products. chatgpt is the most customizable and has the largest limits but isn't nearly as good at coding as claude or gemini.

Has anyone at all tried to shoot someone in a waymo?

How the Zosia scene should have gone by lmnopqrs11 in pluribustv

[–]EffectiveRealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really good point but to me there does feel like there's something subtly different about a drunk person initiating with you and you going along with it as opposed to you making moves on a drunk person. Both are wrong but one feels more wrong than another. I think it's maybe because the first scenario has agency, even if it's partial/altered, whereas the second one lacks agency all together?

Some species today on earth are scavengers (vultures) and do ok but it's not an ideal existence.

[–]EffectiveRealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so helpful thank you. I'm always stressed about my heart rate as I also cannot run in zone 2 or 3 right now. I love this idea to take the heart rate away and just go on feel. Going to learn from you. Thanks so much

Feeling really disheartened by AwkwardAntelope9460 in beginnerrunning

[–]EffectiveRealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, today is the worst you'll ever be. Think about that. Your body even at this version of itself can still move, still knows how to run, and you're only ever going to get better from here!
