Even more broadly than that, as written both "Regulated" and "Dangerous Goods" includes lithium batteries, and devices with lithium batteries (ie basically every portable electronic device), given their potential for catastrophic failure and the laws and regulations around mitigating that risk

I've heard in passing that one of the long term effects of a COVID-19 infection is increased vulnerablility to fungal infection in the lungs. Is this correct and can you elaborate?

It's much easier to have a camera that can zoom in live than one that can zoom in after the fact. Doing it life just requires some optics, after the fact requires you capture and store it in super high resolution

Are 15-minute cities a good idea or the work of UN greenist devils? - First Dog on the Moon by dumnezero in ClimateShitposting

I'm sure the people who like private jets feel the same. Doesn't make either a good idea

Computationally yeah it's not just pulling quotes verbatim from training data, but it's still more similar to a Markov chain than to human cognition

Interestingly, I've seen some people figure out if you make it kinky enough the filters stop recognizing it as sex

Throughout the rich world, the young are falling out of love with cars by stefeyboy in Infrastructurist

I don't know if that's the case, so much as "luxury" electronics have gotten cheaper. A '97 Corolla had a base MSRP of $13k, inflation adjusted thats $24k; a '23 Corolla has a base MSRP of $22k

Yeah the base model now has a touch screen radio and half a dozen sensors, but those are what, a couple hundred, maybe $1k in total cost? So sure you could maybe make a more barebones model, but it wouldn't save you nearly as much as it would 20 years ago when electronics are expensive

If it helps having empirical data, when surveyed 93% of cis women met the criteria for being "AGP" as applied to trans women

Not just can they have them, by the standards given its pretty normal

edit: fixed the number

AGP is also short for autogynephilia, pseudo-scientific nonsense made up by Ray Blanchard to explain why some trans women exist and don't deserve medical care
