The real difference is that Jonathan Frakes actually knows how to play trombone, and pretty well. Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner don’t play their instruments at all.

And LLM slop coding will make it exponentially worse.

That is the formal definition in the sciences, yes. But colloquially, “theory” refers to a belief that has not been tested but for which it can be argued some evidence exists. (Not good evidence mind you, just “evidence.”)

I can fix that fantastical part: advertisers can now claim any targeting of children is inadvertent because they know they’re not supposed to do that and they have the age verification. So it must have been someone spoofing the system.

Just put some money into advanced sailing ship tech and in a decade we’ll have advanced clippers with many more seamen needed.

Okay, I admit it. I don’t have friends.

Funny how bigots are rarely just bigoted about one thing, isn’t it?

Elevator incident?

I was being like 99% facetious and the 1% serious has more to do with how eMacs updates are distributed as compared to Notepad++. To your point, any non-vetted packages would be a huge source of risk, and even vetted packages should be monitored.

eMacs wasn’t compromised!

Or “proceeds from us.” “Precede” means coming before, “proceed” means originating from.

Studies have shown community is a key component in reducing addiction. A society that accommodated different sleep patterns would probably lead to less tiredness (I am a night owl but my job is 8-5, for example.)

Society doesn’t change your neurochemistry, that’s true. But it can change what your neurochemistry has to contend with. Consider a basic inorganic chemistry scenario: some materials dissolve in water much more readily when the water is hot. Does that mean they are insoluble, or poorly soluble, in cold water? Not at all. The environment impacts that behavior.

You look terrific, girl. Love the hair color and styling.

100%

That grass is not native to the environment, maybe not to any environment, and it’s maintained by the use of clean drinkable water and enough herbicides and pesticides to commit a war crime.

I picture a bunch of grass that’s not doing anything useful. If golf changed the rules to mandate native plants for courses, naturally maintained (eg, no lawnmowers or sprinklers) I’d be slightly less than 100% opposed to its continued existence but that seems unlikely.

A food forest.

Looking great!

That’s great to hear, I hope you continue to feel more and more like who you are.

Not that difficult. “Pay up or GTFO” scrawled on a napkin and given to google, amazon, and Microsoft seems like it would be pretty easy to manage.

I annoyed the friend who introduced me to Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I would frequently predict plot twists and even specific lines in the show on my first watch through.
