Welcome to politics.
Welcome to politics.
Netanyahu won’t agree to a permanent ceasefire. The hope seems to be to get any sort of long pause then push to extend and extend it so it is de facto permanent (and hope Netanyahu gets kicked out of power somewhere in there).
Seems like they missed the lesson of the trolley problem, then.
I’ve shifted to buying a lot of things used but I still can’t wrap my head around buying used clothing most of the time. There is an overwhelming selection of choices, and even if I sift through all of that to find the sort of stuff I need chances are it isn’t going to fit well.
Poshmark helps for some things, but only if it’s like a discrete, easily categorized item that I can clearly for (like a specific brand of hat, or a specific line of pants from a specific brand that I already know fit). I’m appreciative of brands that have started carrying their own used clothing sections - even though it’s usually more expensive it’s so much easier to wrap my head around.
Contrast that with things like electronics or household items which I go used for all day every day. I needed a rice cooker, bought a used Zojirushi off a local guy within a week, easy as pie.
Depending on what sorts of stuff you’re into there are situations where you can go over six without it being absurd. Like:
That’s already six pairs without even getting into other things that one may need like rain boots, snow boots, cleats, nonslips for work, etc.
Apparently I own 13 pairs of shoes. Damn.
I used to be way more consumer-y and I’ve been slowly reforming my ways. Case in point, two of those pairs are old running shoes repurposed into general beaters, and 10 of them were purchased 5+ years ago.
I agree with that statement, but I also don’t know how to define where the line is where consumption turns into overconsumption. Any ideas?

I do not trust your assessment of their expertise.
Cheekiness aside, there are plenty of people with tons of tech expertise working in the federal apparatus. Let’s hope they’re put on this project.
The National Institute of Standards and Safety (NIST) will be responsible for developing standards to “red team” AI models before public release, while the Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security are directed to address the potential threat of AI to infrastructure and the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cybersecurity risks.
The rules will be developed by agencies with relevant expertise.
You do know that Biden didn’t personally draft this himself, right?
It delegates the specifics to agencies with relevant expertise. That’s how the executive branch works.
As a lurker who doesn’t post much:
Improve the quality of the platform. Fix the moderation issues. Find a solution to communities being fragmented across multiple servers. Keep improving reliability. And so on.
Black cats are the best cats. Welcome to the club!
The best way to stop the cats from destroying furniture is to give them better targets for scratching. Make sure every room has a scratch pad or similar; if you find ones that the cat likes the problem will fix itself.
Don’t discourage kneading behavior. Instead, keep blankets around so when the cat homes in on you for a lap and some kneading time you can just put a blanket under him to shield yourself from the claws. Over time he’ll grow attached to some of the blankets and be content to just knead those on their own without sitting on you at all.
If you really want to help with these things buy a cat claw trimmer and learn to trim his claws every couple of weeks. Give him treats afterwards so he has a positive association with the process. If he fights it then swaddling him in blankets and just poking each leg out as you trim it helps a LOT. Like with all behaviors, starting this when he’s a kitten will normalize it for him and make it way easier down the road.
Pop Culture Detective is great, for the most part.
OSM is a lot dodgier in the US - and it doesn’t have live traffic, which is crucial in some cities.
I agree, I don’t buy WD drives any more. But I don’t want to replace the ones I already have unless it’s necessary.
So far these issues only apply to these specific SSDs … fingers crossed it stays that way, because like you I’ve got a number of WD HDDs in my life.
You can fix this with StartAllBack:
We should do whatever we can to keep people off of the tracks in the future. But that’s not mutually exclusive with pulling the lever right now, since the trolley is already heading towards people.
