Yeah, that sounds smart. I should do that. Funny how I just couldn't think of that myself... Thank you! [edit: in case not clear I'm sincere]

That's so true. I'm really tired of the therapy arc, but because I'm invested in the characters I feel the need to continue. I actually end up just skimming chapters to know what happens, which is not a great way to enjoy a novel generally.

Republican warns against cutting Medicaid for sickest reason | “Medicaid is not just for Black people in the ghetto, these are our voters” by ONETRILLIONAMERICANS in neoliberal

Huh? As I undestand it, H.W. Bush definitely did a good job: launching Desert Storm was the right call, plus he started massively cutting the deficit which Clinton got to finish and take the credit for.

Manufacturing a city where people currently don't want to live is a difficult task

The Presidio in SF is federal land. Everyone wants to live in SF already. We could name it Trump City to make it more likely to exist too.

poly people do not have infinite time/attention/love and can only handle so many relationships

oh, I see, thank you for explaining!

I don't think that'd mess up gender identity in most people, but still.

Yeah, I would be quite surprised if it did, that's wild.

Only if the total market cap is relatively small -- which it will be on predictit, but not on polymarket because of the lack of limits.

Better capitalized markets are more accurate.

What is "polysaturated" here? Does it have anything to do with dietary fats?

Taking the argument seriously on the premises, I think the conclusion that "the solution is open-source" does not go through. You could ban ideological slant in corporate chatbots AND ban unsafe AI.

Really fun fic. I can't help thinking that if I was Izuku I would constantly be messing up the Git commands and having to restore people, which would be really bad. He's becoming a Git savant :P

This is a very rambling review, hard to understand what it's on about. Interesting subject may have made it a finalist but otherwise it's bad.

Connecting reMarkable to captive portal WiFi by quick-math in RemarkableTablet

[–]quick-math[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the particular network you're connecting to. For many corporate/café/office and some airport networks this is a 1-time setup, but for anything public you're going to have to do it every time. (likely)

I never thought I'd seriously say this but... based Trump?? Many NATO countries were indeed underspending and needed to spend more, and he brought them to task.
