10 seconds to buy my wife a Pepsi? Why that estimate seems quite absurd.

First I would have to walk 10 miles into town. Then I would have to locate a purveyor of goods that carried Pepsi-Cola products...

Then I reckon we would spend a fort-minute dickering over price.

And finally trudging back home with my Pepsi product in tow.

Why, I'd be lucky to accomplish this herculean task in the very same evening.

I mean by that definition, USA's immigration enforcement constitutes ethnic cleansing. I guess I just question your moral authority to second guess Israel's handling of their very unique situation.

Obviously Palestinians were displaced and that needs to be addressed, but ethnic cleansing is a tough sell. Their population has multiplied by 20x since then.

Next time think of it as a story of a nice guy, who turns into a jerk, and at the end he's a nice guy again.

We're gonna need it to play a midi of "Swing low sweet chariot" when the harvest cycle comes online.

The flip side of that is, if you care about your community you want to deliver engaging homilies. And that may not be your personal strength.

Also I believe we're talking about Leo not Francis.

Hang on, you're saying I still get soul credits toward the afterlife if I send my AI agent to sermons?

Well maybe they just need to start recording confessionals. Just imagine what Gemini 3.1 could do with 1M tokens of that stuff.

There's no content there for me but I'm curious. Perhaps someone can paste the content?

Hmm, Bloom filters seem important. I'm wondering why my CS education never even touched on them and it's tbh triggering my imposter syndrome.

Being self-taught isn't the problem. I've self-taught myself 10x more than I learned in school (and yes I was CS in school).

You might as well make them sequential if they're numeric, making them non-sequential just puts more load on your server when the brute force happens.

That's honestly an ridiculous criticism. The idea that a simple thing like intonation was not well considered in a show with that level of detail...

You need to do yourself a favor and drop whatever you think you know and re-binge.

Why would it be more than any other activity that involves making decisions?
