That’s kind of him, I got tired of losing The Game years ago.

Yes, maths. It’s the alternative short form of mathematics.

Exactly. I’ve got to leave a deposit with my landlord in case I leave a mess when i move out, same should go for these oil companies.

There is a good chance…

Probabilistically, the early bird theory is unlikely. If development of life were to follow a normal distribution, it’d be highly improbable that we’d be in the tails as opposed to the main body.

I’m not quite sure what you’re suggesting, but I’m sure I don’t like it.

…w…would? ^w^

Exhibit 5: Falling Down

The declining birth rate isn’t going to hurt anyone alive today.

Having a top heavy age demographic means less tax revenue will be split between more required services. There will also be fewer labourers with more labour requirements. The only ones it won’t hurt are the billionaires.

It’s probably a good thing in the long run that human population is stabilising, but it’s going to be problematic until we get to that stable state.

there are plenty of video essays that I’ve watched for content that I never watched in the first place, because the analysis was highly entertaining and is much less time consuming

This makes me think of Angela Collier’s essay segment “that time I read and enjoyed Ayn Rand”, because nobody should ever have to sit through reading Atlas Shrugged.

It seems like people are so eagre to bash AI that they’re willing to invent their own narrative to shit on anyone who remotely sounds like they support it, even if that’s not the case.

I appreciate you actually taking the time and effort to read.

He specifically asked Copilot which percentage to set.

Ah, I see. That’s not at all clear from what the article says:

In the video, the influencer activates Copilot with the “Hey Copilot” voice activation and then asks it how they can increase the font size via Windows Settings.

Perhaps the original video has what you’re talking about.

Aura quickly manually sets the scale to 200%, which solves the problem but isn’t what Copilot actually suggested…

Isn’t that what almost anyone would do?

I’ve seen some pretty silly AI blunders before, but this one seems rather harmless. You’re still going to end up at the setting you need to change to solve the problem, which to me falls squarely in the “close enough” bin.

I’ll just send a picture:

This was before I added the netting. I use tomato clips to hold up the plants:

Then the netting just goes all the way around the outside hanging down from the top, and secured at the bottom with ground clips.

The netting isn’t big enough for squirrels to get through. It’s draped down from the trellising, and pinned down to the ground. There’s no way for the squirrels to get in unless they climb up and over, and they don’t seem to be able to figure that out.

Not sure what to do about the horn worms though.

I have a raised bed and just hang a loose net around the whole thing so the squirrels can’t get in. Otherwise those little buggers will take one bite out of each tomato and leave the rest for me to clean up.

You can get Teto plushies on amazon?! Naruhodo…

I just position mine so the end is how I want it, and sometimes that means the first bite is mostly bread.

Oh, lmao, I didn’t even realise it was a 1 time thing, but now that I re-read, it does say “dividend”. It’s basically a small bribe to placate him fleecing his angered masses.

Our premier did that as well, and it was quite effective at keeping him in office, IMO.

Trump suggesting any sort of UBI was not on my bingo card for this year. You just know there’s going to be some sort of catch.
