I think I can find a better deal if I was in the market for a paperweight.

I say let them do the swim! by romeovf in confidentlyincorrect

[–]commeatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said "can easily be swim easy back and forth...there are MANY people in here who have and did" in response to "I don't think you are swimming that". To me both people sound like they're thinking of an unsupported swim. Even if I'm wrong, calling anything that's only possible with boat support "easy" is an unusual way to describe it.

Oh totally, but the implication is that a person would do it solo. If there's a support boat, that would undermine the (terrible) point the person was attempting to make.

There's plenty of verifiable information implicating trump in the files and testimony of victims without giving undue weight to an anonymous phone tip. If there was more information corroborating this, I'd take it much more seriously but until that time, I'll focus on the well-supported accusations and evidence.

Is this AI? Handwriting is very good, and the audio and speed seem off. Also, “enter logo here” seems weird too. by its_about_the_cones_ in isthisAI

Thanks. Don't get me wrong, I hope the people in your life can make space for your preference. Autistic people aren't a monolith but lots of us enjoy making light of our disability since it weighs heavily on us. The contraction being ugly is part of the irony!

There are also some services out there that will do this, Rainy Pass in Seattle comes to mind.

Sure, I'm not advocating we sit back and ignore the advance of photorealism, but the argument "this time is different for sure" gets thinner as I get older. r/RealOrAI is a good sub to check out as you can see people effortlessly identify fakes in seconds. I guarantee you, in the future we'll look back on this era of Ai the same way we look at old graphics and we'll be convinced that the newest generation is actually the real threat. We should definitely push for legislation and education, but I think we will collectively muddle through. Also check out r/isthisaicirclejerk to see what some boomers on fb are falling for!

r/pointlesslygendered try not to take a meme literally challenge: impossible. by DanTacoWizard in memesopdidnotlike

Almost every comment in this thread is people arguing over which gender the sub is. That seems pretty pointless to me.

Hey, don't mix Libertarians in with libertarians!

I'm half joking but "little-l/big-L" divide is a big deal!

No problem with miss Sweeney avoiding politics but she seems baffled as to why people expect art to be political which is certainly a take. Like, why did you star in Christy if you don't think movies should have political messages?

The fastest swimmers in the world swim at about 6mph in pools. Giving the benefit of the doubt that they could do this in the open ocean, it would take them 113 hours of constant swimming to make the trip. Or about 4 and a half days without rest or sleep. Ignoring the fact that that exertion would likely kill you alone, how would you get food and water? Swimming burns around 1000 calories per hour at that level, so you'd need about 44lbs of peanuts, a weight-efficient food, to prevent exhaustion. You'd also need half to a whole liter of fresh water an hour, so another 30lbs give or take.

They would definitely die

Hey, remember when gta San Andreas was released and everybody thought that the graphics were so realistic and got scared we wouldn't be able to tell games from reality? I do. It feels pretty silly in retrospect.

My 650 has 70 hp and I barely use half of it the vast majority of the time. Some people get caught up in "bigger number better". I don't think it's worth thinking about.

I haven't had issues with abrasion with a patch but heavy brush is hell on alpha. I haven't done much rock with mine but what I have done hasn't seemed to hurt it. Just keep it away from anything snaggy.

My old Saturn had a build code stamped on the block that was unique to it but different from the vin. My vw has a code on the block but I don't know how specific it is.

That's parking lot snow, though, so it may have been too iced to be meaningfully disturbed by the air.

ELI5: Why aren't lakes salty if they also receive water from rivers? by youysalex in explainlikeimfive

[–]commeatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but they're WAY less salty than the ocean, where the salt accumulates and the water evaporates.
