This may be an unpopular opinion, but I really like the foot. It's great because you can divide it by 2, 3 and 4 and even 6 and it still works. I think it's a lot better to use than the metric system when working with wood.

To add on to this, women were seen to not have sexual agency because sex was something that a man did to someone else. Since women didn't have the man goods, they couldn't do the sex to other things. They were also really afraid of women topping men because it ran contrary to what sex ought to be. But I bet some men liked that.

Do you still want to find some sort of spirituality or are you done with any sort of religion?

Scholars say a few different things. Dr Justin Sledge has a video on his own youtube channel Esoterica on the story of the Historical Jesus that I think makes a lot of sense and is really moving. Jesus was certainly a few things. He was a miracle worker. He wasn't alone in that sort of thing; there were other miracle workers in the area. He was part of a movement called apocalypticism. This was a movement that didn't seek to end the world necessarily, but to bring about the rulership of God over Judea and to bring about the end of history (Francis Fukuyama eat your heart out) Jesus would go to Jerusalem in order to defeat evil and bring about the Kingdom of God, but he was an ursurper to Roman power and would therefore be hanged as a traitor to the Roman Empire. The Messiah was supposed to be a liberator and there were a number of "messiahs" throughout history All of them had as their goal the restoration of Israel to its native land. Some sought to accomplish this through penitence, fasting, and prayer, and looked forward to miracles to assist them; others appealed to arms.

I wouldn't be able to look anyone in the eye ever again if I got it

It's a solution that would work in the next 7 years. Unfortunately I live in the American market where the automakers can't make an affordable car to save their life. I've been looking at the used EV market for a year (Hyundai Ioniq 5 or other non-tesla EV) but I just don't have a spare 20k rolling around in my pockets, nor a salary big enough to finance one. I do take public transportation when I can, but it just doesn't go by my workplace

They hadn't integrated AI into their decision tree in order to strike. This is entirely the fault of humans. AI don't give assessments in that field. AI may give identification on these assets, (It's 3x adult males) but the person monitoring that AI is the one who makes assessments. I know this was planned but it wasn't integrated when I was in the know.

All a LLM would be able to do is identify what type of boat there is and a guess on how many people there were. Not who those people are. At least not for people who are unimportant as these people were to grand scheme of operations. It may be able to identify a high value individual (HVI) but that sort of person would never be a drug runner

The assessor would keep a more reliable tally of people. People much higher up the chain would be the ones to actually call for the strike though.

The US military was trying to integrate AI into their workflow but in ways that actually make sense. The people who are actually responsible for the integration of things into combat systems are really freaking smart. (It's not the same as that 36-year-old Master Sergeant who thinks that the best part about AI is making music that doesn't know the meaning of structure) The military also has an institutional conservatism where they don't want to make changes that are really stupid so they have to plan out everything. That's one of the many reasons why it costs so much to procure anything.

This absolutely exists. It's a form of conversion therapy like "gender exploratory therapy". Basically what these clinics try to do is figure out the root of why somebody is trans and deal with that instead of actually giving somebody real treatment. These sorts of "treatments" are endorsed by groups like the Society of Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) and aren't real treatments

Polyamory is going to bring a host of legal questions around marriage law. I wonder how this is all going to work.

All cool things though!

I went on a guided tour there! The guide never showed me prison camps! There must be no prison camps!

 

Seriously. I think I need to adjust my dose of progesterone

Digging through a meme that I probably found in 2014. I guess I kept it around for a reason Some people aren't really that smart, but they more than make up for it in heart

Where were you when USAID was kil

I was at home eating nacho

I hear my friend

"USAID is kil"

"no"

 

I gotta post something, so I'll post the mechanical calculator that the flight school wanted me to get. How it works is that you can set ratios in the dial and multiply them. In this picture, it's 60:10 (or 60:1.0) so I can take any number from the inner circle in minutes and find out how many hours that is equal to on the outer circle.

There are also other things on this calculator, including a wind vector calculator, and charts. Most pilots don't use these anymore, but they still wanted me to know how to use one
