Take 1% of what you would pay the CEO, and use it to purchase a literal scapegoat. Ceremonially sacrifice as needed, and inject remaining funds directly into the accounts of these investors.

I like that hypothesis.

I have another one. They are removing variables from the environment. Any unfixed object in a high position can potentially lead to a fall if they try to walk over it. It could also alert prey/predators if it falls at the wrong time. Better to get rid of it now and be sure it won't cause problems later.

Very similar situation for me. I've been diagnosed with chronic migraine. I always had it to some degree, but the last few years have been worse. The most consistent trigger is working more than about 6 hours in a day.

Back around 2008, I recall having problems because my Australian cards would be prompted for a 5-digit zip code. It only happened at gas stations for some reason. The closest we have is 4-digit postcodes, which it wouldn't accept. Eventually, I figured out I could prepend a 0, but I didn't want to trial-and-error that unless it set off a fraud flag with my bank. Probably a good thing it was pre-pay in the cases that didn't work.

I think that's more due to GPT's need to please, so if you ask it to make sense of something it will assume there is some underlying sense to it, rather than say it's unparsable gibberish.

They have the right idea with the theory, but there's some nuance in proper execution. If I learned anything from photography, it's that the best adjustments are barely on the edge of perception.

If you averaged the before and after examples (allowing that the "average" of colours is a complicated subject in itself), they would probably be pretty good.

It looks like it's treating the deer and wall as the same subject, averaging the texture, and applying it to both.

It's not about what they can do two years later. The job is a reward for services rendered while in government.

I don't believe that's the case for the orcas in the article. I used to live in Eden, and they have a legendary reputation there, going back well into pre-colonial history. Killing them would be sacrilege. That's not to say that some weren't killed, but not on that scale.

I can't think of any situations where a roundabout isn't preferable to a two way stop, if space allows for the installation. In my opinion they're often safer than traffic lights too, due to drivers feeling less need to beat the light changes.

In my Australian experience, yes we have a gender gap in earnings, but couples still tend to be from the same socioeconomic circles.

That would be great to see. Let the DOM focus on being a good Document Object Model.

That was about the time they removed the scale, right?

I assumed everyone can see visual noise too, based on my photography experience. Why wouldn't eyes get grain like film or a sensor does? I can see it under most conditions so maybe I just have higher ISO eyes than most people. It probably comes with my other neurodivergent sensory sensitivities.

Big subreddits are the worst for this. People will repeat poor quality comments they've seen upvoted in other posts because they know it will be upvoted by others who recognise it. Even though the original may have only been noticed because they got in early and confidently.
