In the long run, python projects just became an unmaintainable mess, and now lots of devs moved on or use python less. At least in my experience.

It's so remarkable how many people here refuse to understand your point. It's like, there is no right or wrong, no perfect score, just pure subjectiveness, and they can't handle it. If I wasn't convinced this site is entirely bots before, I might be now....

I mean, that's the whole point of this exercise. In reality there is no hard line between green and blue, and if you make someone pick, their line is going to be entirely subjective, and different than others.

it's a perceived must. when running "all season" tires year round the AWD inspires more confidence, and most people don't even know winter tires are a thing. Plus 4x4 only helps you start moving, but once you are, every car still only has 2 wheels to turn and 4 to stop, which are quite possibly more crucial in snow....

It could be that. It could be AI farming. Ask questions you want AI to be able to answer, get a bunch of reasonable comments for the models to gobble up. Next time you ask google, gemeni might even post links to this very post! I'd say it's 50/50 if it's for AI or astroturfing.

Even still, I suspect tractor deaths and injuries are far far higher per driver than for cars. Tractors are very capable, but it's also very very easy to get in a dangerous situation with them.

> “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”

Strange, cuz Marylin Monroe told me "if you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything."

So maybe men are just constantly calibrating a competitive sense of humor..?

From his writing he sounds British, where class has a somewhat different context and from what I gather, can be inferred from speech/dress.

i ise ublock origin, but I too suffer from abysmal search results on Amazon. Im sure their AI has decided ill just buy all the junk after i give up on finding what I actually looked for.

Ive also noticed lower prices for the same items if ive recently searched on walmart or target recently too…

>> I've literally never heard of anyone using google pay, zelle or venmo or cashapp

But you use Twitter..? That's some crazy bubble. venmo isn't even a tech savvy thing, everyone everywhere I know that moves money between individuals or super-small business transactions (think cleaning service, girl scout cookies, club dues) uses it...
