If those groups are "left" then your Overton window is fucked.

The yellow bracket is intended to prevent the installation of skimmers. Unfortunately, the design isn't compatible with all of the fixtures they're applied to, and are often enough just not installed correctly... but that's what that part is sold as.

That way lies superdeterminism, which has stood out to me as the most satisfactory explanation for years.

I'm grateful that this bill is taking a much more measured approach than the headline suggests. The bill is targeting specific additives, or "excessive" amounts of added sugar, salt, or fat (exact thresholds unnamed).

"Ultra-processed" gets thrown about as a big food quality bogeyman, but some definitions of the label are as broad as "contains any amount of added sugar". I'm glad California isn't following a standard that extreme.

Not the rampant racism or sexism or simple misanthropy or outright calls to violence or overflowing hostility.

It's the spam that tops the problem list.

I've been taking some online classes these last two semesters, and I can cleanly group my classmates into three categories: the blatant LLM users, the rare students who actually invest themselves, and the majority whose contributions are so cursory that it hardly matters whether they wrote or generated it.

I think it's a reasonable punishment for putting bullets into the air with little idea where they might land—and on whom.

It's not a forest because that kind of growth isn't native, but San Diego has one of the nation's largest urban parks in Mission Trails Regional Park.

Recent can be a generous time period, but it's not unimportant. When I was very young, I was able to enjoy the Hardy Boys and the Chronicles of Narnia, but even in the 90s, just forty years after the latter was written, they both felt very, very old. When I started finding more current writing, like Redwall or Animorphs, I never looked back.

Off by 0.35% in your morning coffee, no problem.

Off from your intended vector by 0.35% when you're moving at 6500 m/s, and you're veering off course by 22 meters every second.

Grapevine says that beyond simple redundancies, ABK's customer service is being gutted in favor of outsourcing.

Well, my apartment building of 36 units has zero exterior outlets, for a start.

Why people still make the appeal to nature fallacy, for starters.

I suspect that was intentional. Lovecraft and many of his peers were anti-Semitic, and crafting names for cosmic horrors that vaguely sounded like Hebrew would mesh with that.

The burst of quests is, last I checked, mostly stuff about unlocking battle pets and allied races.
