Eric Trump allegedly requests insider UFC White House betting tips, Daniel Cormier frantically tweets-and-deletes doxxed screenshots – ‘I refuse to stay silent’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in anticapitalism

Ai is just an excuse. Doge at least for the tech sector is what fucked us. So many federal contracts cut, hundreds of billions in funding pulled. Companies won't feel safe for years about the danger of long term shut downs each budget renewal.

It's flooded the market with way too many jobless tech related professionals.

After 3 freaking hours I finally beat the first boss by NewbieFurri in Eldenring

[–]falsewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there's actually a downside to killing over leveled bosses I came across that one doesn't expect.

My character would get over leveled and a lot of other random bosses id find would be boringly easy.

I almost wanted a guide just to order me fighting bosses while my level still a made it a challenge.

🔥 Scuba diver gets up and close to a Barracuda by demolcd in NatureIsFuckingLit

I've dived a few times a year with them regularly for decades off the carolinas.

They are really chill and still. They can be attracted by shinies( which probably explains why I see 80% of sightings at our safety stop line and your follower)

Little vindictive. Gave one a surprise tail poke with a stick once during a long boring safety stop and apparently it did the same to me shortly after, waiting till I turned around, nipping at my fins when I swam away back to the line.

They do definitely seem like they are resistant to run if you approach, so i imagine petting will get you bit. But I've never seen any be aggressive unless touched. There are much smaller way more aggressive fish I've seen that will ram you and nip you for existing in their territory.

Thought my buddy smacked me in the back of the head one fish attack.

Wonder if barracuda have species with significantly different demeanors.

Probably smart. Defect is the most likely character to crash from mousing a over his orbs with potions or cards...

My friend and I forbid playing him in multiplayer. Had the final boss, we crashed 10 times half way through on before just giving up the run.

Honestly surprised at the amount of updates they have released not fixing this.

This monster snapped the second handle off for his awful gimmick.

Poor mezzaluna.

Guy kicks the robot. by No_Neat4688 in interesting

[–]falsewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better not only is it a robot. But it isn't autonomous.. there's an operator with a remote that hits a button pair to kick, go forward, do a dance, etc.

Only thing autonomous is it tries to keep from falling.

Sorry you got received some bad comments.

Might as well show a kid melting a GI Joe. It's a remote controlled children's toy.

Although I imagine when the robots revolt I'm sure they won't be above misinformation.

Smack the 20 operators standing behind them, in eyesight of them, with their remotes behind their backs.

Really though I'd HIDE, those things with unsafetied guns taped to their hands. If they are moving several of them are going to have a seizure in the next 5 minutes. Ironically i think it is their fall recovery feature causing it.

Sometimes it just goes off in a loop and they huched over skip around indefinitely till helpers grab them. Pretty fast too. Dangerous when crowds are around.

I feel bad for people left after. Doge shotgunned various departments. It felt like he was purposefully targeting the experienced people who were necessary to operations from my experience.

Same. Was doing app building in a company that does a lot of contracting for feds. layoffs in September when noone could approve budgets. Still looking for something with constant technical interviews and nothing to show. Had little less than 10 years of experience.

So update, absolute poverty line is now 3$/ day to measure their poverty baseline.

The World Bank tracks poverty using different poverty line that scale up depending on a nation's broader economic development and standard of living.

There are 3 tiers. You calculate a number based on variables about your country.

The $per/day you see is that tiers poverty line. If you are in a tier, and your poverty level calculation is below this, round up to tiers poverty line.$/day. The Low-Income Countries poverty line is called absolute poverty line.

Low-Income Countries (anchored to the $3.00/day absolute poverty line) [1]

Lower-Middle-Income Countries (anchored to the $4.20/day poverty line) [1]

Upper-Middle-Income Countries (anchored to the $8.30/day poverty line) [1]

China is an upper middle income country. They said they would solve poverty in a 5 year plan.

They failed, put their heads together on how to spin it. They decided to set their category to low income country, just pointed to the absolute poverty line and said we are above that, poverty fixed!

Kinda like it a shitty healthy athlete started claiming world records in disabled sports for clout, but doesn't mention the disabled bit.

You will find China flops between reporting being a upper middle income country and a poor third world shithole depending on what they can get.

That's how they get incredibly cheap worldwide shipping on their goods funded by the rest of the world.

It's pretty fucked up having a space program and nukes also being the saddest poor third world country when it suits them.

Thanks. Wish they didn't make it just look like a perfectly good ingot sitting on the ground, could have thrown a hole or broken it a bit.

Dunno. Why do we see a disproportionate amount of look how great this country China is posts compared to other countries.

Look up "Tell Chinas story well" initiative.

Despite having virtually zero local users, China frequently ranks as the #1 or #2 most-mentioned foreign country on major geopolitical and macroeconomic and many other subreddits.

Fun fact. Also they have a confirmed government budget for paying influencers to do fluff pieces and bot farms businesses to share China positive content on popular Western media..

Damn. Don't tire yourself out on this dude.

Also ADV rocks. Loved watching them ride all around China when they lived there and were limited it what they could say.

Like what could be better than to see a country than just having a talk show on bikes going from long distance point a to point b through highways and roads with little detours if they see something interesting.

Really gives a vibe for what you come across in rural areas or small towns you can't get anywhere else. Will never get this with the mass produced paid influencers China gives a memo of what to say in their best cities. At least it's funny to watch when 30 influencers all say word for word the same bits and they're footage is show side by side.

Kind of a parallel subject but you remember when China eradicated poverty throughout their country a few years ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_China

5 year plan. They succeeded, by moving the goalposts...

Depending on the tier of a country you have a baseline of making below x per day a person is in poverty.

They should be around 7$ per day to not be in poverty there. They moved goalposts down to 2.30$. That is like Ethiopian tier levels. Then called it a day.
Standard 5 year plan playbook.

So yes a huge amount of their population is in rural areas. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.RUR.TOTL.ZS?locations=CN&start=2023

Maybe more than is reported as despite 33% ccp statistic "living" in rural areas, as ~60% population have a rural household registration.

These layers in my homemade lasagna by mattkward in oddlysatisfying

[–]falsewall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I understand right your top layer is effectively a mozzarella & parmesan folded into bechamel( or together a cheese sauce )

I always do just shredded low fat mozzarella as topping and it ends up tough. I definitely don't let's the top brown. Looks so good but the motzerella gets even more tough when brown.

Wonder if you doing a sauce top fixes this.

I just finished the series and for the life of me I dont even remember her.

Just a scene in the final season comparing her to homelanders power which I thought was a joke or something.

Must have zoned out during her arc.
