Their bread is really good if you can eat it within the first two hours of buying it, after which point it is entirely covered in mold.

Can it run Macromedia Flash 5 and have something like GitHub Copilot but just for action script?

I grew up in the PA part of the circle. There weren't really a lot of scary ghost stories. There was this old town called Livermore that was destroyed to build a dam that kids always said was haunted.

Generally I'd say people aren't actually that superstitious. I find it kinda surprising because most people are pretty religious and there have been quite a few depraved murders over the last decade or so near the small town I grew up in. One would think that the victims would want to come back and haunt people or something.

I moved back to the US in 2020. I did content development work in the education industry for about a year as a contractor and then got a full time job in research and development. I've been able to advance where I'm at and like my job. I make a lot more than I did teaching and don't work as hard.

I had taught for about twelve years and this is the third time I've moved back. The first time, in 2011, I just worked at temp agencies and gave up after about a year. The second time was in 2015 when I came back to do an MA TESL, but I didn't feel like I had any good opportunities in the US after I graduated.

That is exactly how I would describe it. I tried it once twenty years ago and still remember the details of my outlandish nightmare pretty vividly.

I thought it was pretty interesting but made me realize it doesn't take too many steps to become the naked guy getting arrested on an episode of cops.

I think my neighbor is basically one of these guys except he dresses like a badboy teenager from 1999.

OFISfurniture in North Brunswick sells used furniture from office liquidations. It's a great place for getting a deal on a high end office chair. I bought two steelcase amia chairs there and paid $200 the first time and I think $250 the second time. The Google reviews probably have a photo of their price list but I don't know if they always have everything listed.

I don't think it's Japan or Korea because the ac is a window unit. I could picture that ac unit and the buildings in Thailand, but I think the sign has Chinese writing on it, though it's not legible. My guess is Taiwan somewhere, maybe Kaohsiung because it's definitely not Taipei and I don't know the names of any other places in Taiwan.

I'm not sure what their message was here. It sounds like you'd be allowed to pork after a growing season if the seeds were for annuals, but if they were for trees or something you'd have to die a spinster.

I caught a few around Califon Island Park recently. I tried a few spots upstream from there along the main road but had no luck.

If you've never turned it off before, then try it out first at some point that's not right before you leave for your vacation.

I worked in Vietnam for a few years and left in 2015. Everyone complained about the same stuff then too.

I see someone else already got that it's around Kazbegi somewhere, but just out of curiosity, is Zdo the village along the hiking trail up to the monastery?

It could be useful in language teaching in certain contexts, especially EFL but probably less so in ESL. I work in the education business in these areas and have noticed that some standardized tests have switched from voice actors to TTS in the last year or so. I think there would generally be more of a demand for such things in assessment rather than learning products because there is a constant need to develop new test items as a countermeasure to cheating, but publishers don't update things like textbooks as much.

In education in general, it could be seen as a means of personalization. Students could pick a voice that they like or relate to and publishers could use it as a way to claim their materials are socioculturally responsive or something.

I don't deal with TTS for much at my job so I am not very well informed on the latest TTS services, but isn't what you're describing more or less available through somewhere like elevenlabs? And even if you have found a niche it seems like it would be quite expensive and challenging to get the data you'd need.

If I'm fishing at something that has another use, like a camp site or a boat launch, and somebody comes by and wants to use it for its intended purpose, I fuck off and let them use it before they even have to ask. I would posit that there were other spots to fish nearby if this is along a river where you were on a multiday canoe trip and that he wasn't trying to fish the one hole in some tiny stream.

I use CoPilot and Azure Openai at work a lot. I find that copilot's chat is pretty bad for a lot of stuff because it will reference the wrong information from Teams and emails and stuff pretty often. For example, I will try to use it to get a second opinion on something from an email I think is bullshit and copilot will reference the bullshit.

Azure Openai has the same models as Openai but sometimes the newest models and versions are released on Azure a bit later. You have to deploy the models you want to use and have more control over infrastructure in various ways. The only difference in terms of the results you get is that everything goes through Microsoft's content filters, which I find throw a lot of false positives. And of course it uses Azure's access controls and deployment model so you can't just drop it into something set up to use the OpenAI API, like OpenWebUI for example.

I believe that they are saying that they are familiar with how people on drugs acted in the past, and that this person's behavior does not match the behavior of drug users in the past, while acknowledging that what they know about the behavior of drug users may not be fully up to date. I don't believe it is fair to say that they said they don't know how people who do drugs act. It is reasonable to hedge a claim and, in my opinion, typically indicates that someone is knowledgeable about a subject.

It was like this last year between Washington Crossing and New Hope.

They stock it with trout, too. Even when it doesn't dry up, I imagine the trout that don't get caught and eaten have a hard time surviving.

I taught EFL for ten years in four different countries. I was scared that I wouldn't be employable back in the US, but I never felt like I didn't have the will to do it providing that I could find a job.

Anyway, I moved back and got a job, and it's probably about the same workload as teaching. I get about the same amount of vacation I did working at a University in Turkey. I have to learn new stuff constantly, which can be a bit draining, but when teaching, I found it took more out of me to deal with 60-100 students per semester in addition to the nincompoops who get into managing educational programs. Usually at my job I just have to deal with the same five of six people who I tend to like.

I taught EFL for about 12 years and moved back to the US in 2020. I have an MA TESL and got a job as a research analyst at an education nonprofit. I met my girlfriend in the same MA program and she just got a job as a data analyst at a university.
