I’m not dismissing its use. It is a useful tool, but it cannot replace experts at this point, or maybe ever (and I’m gathering you agree on this).

If it ever does get to that point, we need to also remedy the massive social consequences of revoking those same experts’ ability to have sufficient income to have a reasonable living.

I was being a little silly for effect.

Normally, I work from one side to the other in pairs like below:

XX

OO

OO

OO

OO

I face the heavier side toward the door so that I will have the majority of the weight in my hand as I pick it up.

So we’re going to depend on AI, which can’t reliably remember how many fingers humans have, to take over medical science roles. Neat!

Unilateral appointment to a national security role is way different from a vote to represent a group of people. AOC also had basically no experience outside that of relevant college coursework.

It’s not stopping - it’s calling out the most blatant of nepotistic appointments in our history (not just this one) for exactly the reasons you’re listing above.

I may be hyper focusing on wording a little, but I feel like it’s a pretty huge difference.

Because Wyoming not?

I don’t see why we should judge our associations by viscosity.

Teams is the worst offender. It constantly wants me to call any number. Social? Phone? Whatever. I don’t want to call anyone, and I sure as hell don’t want to do it via Teams.

Scrap them, and also fine the fuck out of Tesla for it.

Syringes for me, but not for thee.

I am also interested in the connection to far right. Just did a search and didn’t find anything.

Beating their own previous record. It’d be nice if we just converted that money into food and housing and prevented the need for war.

I’m pretty sure it’s just called a bird’s beak paring knife.

Reading further about it, it’s intended for tasks while holding the object you are cutting, rather than using a cutting board. Like peeling an apple in your hand.

If I could start over that’s probably the route I’d go. I’m in a reasonably good spot - I just know plenty of people who aren’t.

In the US, people we have the same problem with college degree+ level jobs being underpaid, but people without them are just impoverished for life. And some of the ones with the college degree jobs too!

The Hammer of Pope-o-cles.

I’m here trying to figure out if you mean that the train is powered by suffering and coal, or if you mean the train is suffering, and it is powered by coal.

I’m probably focusing on the wrong thing, but it feels important.

Americans hate metric so much that they’d rather use metric!

News to me! Very cool to know. Thanks!

Piss is usually sterile, and is therefore too good for him. Shit or vomit is far more appropriate.

If the US were to lose CA, would the US’s position change?
