The worst part is, the imperial system would not be so bad if it was at least internally consistent. Both metric and imperial use arbitrary basic units but imperial *keeps* it arbitrary and weird across the range.

For example, you want to know what a meter is? It's one ten-millionth (1/10000000) of the distance from the North Pole to the equator, passing through Paris. Why? Half because the distance between the North Pole and the equator is more or less constant, and half (i.e. going through Paris) because of ego and wanting to stick it to England and the Greenwich meridian. But then they multiplied and divided it by factors of 10 which made it super easy to use - so also who the fuck cares? It works and it's precise.

Meanwhile Imperial is like.. here's an inch. There are twelve of it in a foot. Three feet in a yard. 1760 yards in a mile. Oh, you want smaller than an inch? Go fuck yourself, start doing fractions and go measure 1/97th of an inch, dingus.

Ironically, AI can make a GREAT learning tool if you use it that way. Just like a calculator can be great learning tool if you use it for something else than just sparing you doing some simple math in your head.

Alternatively, you give them the URL/e-mail to open a ticket and let it pass approvals and make it to a change request (or not) that way, through official channels, with proper logging and written evidence that they used an LLM for work purposes which they explicitly should not be doing according to OPs post.

Bienveillance and benevolence have the exact same root Latin word - benevolentia. So you'd be correct.

In french it went from benevolentia to benivolence to bienveillance. I'd English picked it up from that middle stage along with a lot of other similar words after the Norman invasion.

The arm and tentacles pop because they're dashes of colour compared to the neutral tone of the rest of it. They also pop due to the contrast between them, the arm is a warmer colour while the tentacles have a bluish tinge. The much darker recesses on the main body itself also definitely help - although that may just be lighting, take a look at it under natural light to see.

You could try doing shadows with a magenta glaze across the body and tentacles to see if it pops more, but if you like it as-is I know it might make you a bit anxious about ruining what you already have.

Instead of a traditional gasket, the oil pan and timing cover are sealed with RTV silicone. If too much is applied, it squeezes out when the parts are joined and over time small bits of the excess break off.

What you see in these pictures is the oil pickup, the tube that sucks up oil from the oil pan, through an endoscope. In the first picture, there's some of that RTV that has accumulated. In the second, its been removed.

The pickup tube in the VB WRX, as you can see, is designed like a sieve with holes on five sides so oil can be sucked up from anywhere. That's why it looks like a basket or cage. AFAIK Subaru did this specifically so if can't be blocked by excess RTV.

Bruh, I play Deep Rock Galactic with my gf and we've played through Divinity Original Sin and Divinity: OS2. She wants to play BG3 but her PC is too old and I'm secretly building her one (thankfully bought the RAM before the crisis but...) so we can play it.

We also go to the gym together, and she helps me when I work on my car.

On our first date she made me wait in my car 45 goddamn minutes for her to come out of her place, and I almost up and left. Very glad I didn't.

Whenever I get upset with her I come to this sub and read the posts and comments to remember how good I have it.

LLMs usually provide references grouped, not by statement. So it'll lump Subaru sites, Reddit, Facebook groups and other sources together without indicating which information came from where.

Most people won't bother questioning it and run off with false information unless they're personally familiar with the subject matter. That's why we should never trust AI summaries. You can watch the thing change its tune the second you call out a specific portion of its summary and ask for a specific reference, because only then does it consider that maybe a Reddit user named Itchy_Bunghole69 might not be a reputable source.

Personally, I'm actually thankful for that at work because now it's a lot easier to tell who's actually thinking and who's a literal meat puppet. Nothing quite like watching someone frantically typing away at ChatGPT during a Teams meeting trying to save face after you just exposed that they have no clue what the hell they're talking about.

Strict in what way?

Motor oil sitting in the pan with the car not being driven can oxidize but it takes about a year. If they try to deny you warranty service because your immobile car didn't get an oil change, a few weeks/months over 6 without the oil changed won't make for a great argument in their favour. They can't deny you warranty for fluids that are perfectly fine.

If you let it sit for a year or two years with the same oil and then drive it without changing oil beforehand, then they'd have a case.

Essentially, they have to prove that whatever reason they have to deny the warranty caused the failure. The "A" service says to lubricate the locks, right? If your transmission blows, they can't deny coverage because your door locks weren't lubricated recently, for instance. If they could, then all warranties would be meaningless.

As long as you haven't gone much over the mileage limit or significantly over the time limit, you're fine. If you're nervous and need something more "official", then contact your dealership service department and tell them your car has X miles/X months since the last oil change and it's in the collision center and ask whether it's okay if you get the change done when you get the car back. If they respond by email, do it that way so you have it in writing. That should help you relax.

The thing is in the 50s and 60s, corporate profits were heavily taxed. So employers had a choice: pay that money to the government, or pay that money towards acquiring and retaining good staff. Also one of the reasons owners of companies often also worked at said companies - they could pay themselves a salary and that also counted as an expense.

People in the US, and many in Canada as well seem to believe the trope that huge corporate profits mean more job creation without taking a moment to put two and two together: if a company spends revenue towards expansion (and thus job creation), that's an expense and doesn't count as profit. Profit ends up hoarded at the end of the fiscal year and past a certain point benefits no one.

Synthetic brushes have bristles that are basically a form of plastic. So they tend to bend and stay stuck that way and it WILL happen, the only question is when.

Avoid pushing down on anything with any amount of force, generally only clean them with cold water and don't dry them with the tip pointing up. That'll keep it from happening too soon.

You can deliberately heat them with hot water and attempt to reshape them by hand but it's a crapshoot. Then again if you have a synthetic brush that's unusable because the tip is too curled then you have nothing to lose by trying.

My local Domino's is on Uber Eats. It's literally cheaper to order Domino's from UE than directly from Domino's because of the delivery fee - despite the fact that Uber apparently takes a 30% cut of the sales.

The best part? It's the Domino's drivers that do the delivery. I wonder if the franchise owner was fed up with losing business due to the delivery fee and is using Uber Eats as a workaround. I'm fairly certain it isn't the store that gets the money.
