That’s just God telling you to go to the bad gateway.

I am right now sitting on a Steelcase Series 1, and while it doesn’t have great lumbar support, it is far better than any shitty $150 “gaming” chair, and is right in your price range brand new.

Ellen Pao.

That’s so reddit.

Not since they shut down API access. Now it’s obvious why they did that.

Why the fuck isn’t one of his unemployed sons drive other people’s shit around for twelve hours a day instead of him?

The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions. I’m sure the terms of service—if I bothered to read them—gives them that permission.

Well there’s your problem.

It sounds to me like he swapped out the original engine for those three lawnmower engines on a lark, perhaps to charge batteries that run an electric motor (kind of like diesel-electric locomotives do, although I don’t believe those have batteries). Then the solar panels were added, negating the need for the lawnmower engines, which haven’t been removed from the system.

18650 cells are plentiful outside of old laptop batteries.

Who’s not interested in whose opinion now?

That you’ve employed a slippery slope analogy far too widely?

I have also hired exterminators and taken antibiotics.

You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)

Having to choose between my child and my dog would be a horrible choice to have to make, but I know exactly how I would make it.

Based on “you need to leave,” they kicked out patients’ families who were already in the lounge, instead of going to one that nobody was already in.

Can you short an IPO?

On the other end, prevent malicious actors from using identity theft to get credit cards and loans: freeze your credit.

• Equifax: https://www.equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services/credit-freeze/

It’ll be a minor hassle when you go to get a car loan, and forget that your credit is frozen - but you will be able to temporarily unfreeze it from your phone.

Low rolling resistance tires tend to be not very great in snow. They get that low rolling resistance partly by not having a very sticky compound, and partly by not having a very aggressive tread pattern (among other things, I’m sure). Both of those factors are going to have an impact on traction on anything but dry pavement.

It might also be due to other design choices. I’ve got a 2015 Ford Fusion PHEV, and I had a 2013 Fusion Hybrid before that; they suck so bad in the snow with normal all-season tires that I have to keep a finger on the electric parking brake switch to make sure I can stop if there’s any snow on the ground.

I’ve been kind of watching this from the sidelines. Requiring separate admin and general use accounts is definitely a good idea, but it doesn’t absolutely solve the problem of “someone who possesses greater power expressing themselves in confrontational ways.” Once you’re wearing an “admin hat,” you can’t ever really take it off, and you have to know that your actions are always going to be under greater scrutiny, regardless of the user account in question.

However.

I’m a big proponent of “we call people what they want to be called,” but this is the very first time I have ever heard that using generic pronouns is somehow consciously offensive. I get that if Party A has made undeniably clear what pronouns they use, and Party B insists on using generic pronouns, yeah, that could be an action consciously intended to offend or put down - but I also think that it’s not necessarily and always that way. Context matters, and the context in this particular incident suggests (to me, at least) that transphobia has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Language is an ever changing thing, although it may change more slowly than desired. When you’re talking about extremely foundational bits of language - like pronouns - it takes a huge amount of effort (especially for older people, of which I am one) to get your brain to change gears and use the words and thoughts that you want to. I know this from personal experience. When I am talking to or about a person in my own family, who I have known since his birth 18+ years ago, it is extremely difficult to adjust to a “new paradigm,” even when “new” means “several years in the making.” I suspect that I will always have to make conscious efforts to think and speak in ways that I want to, and that I won’t always get it right. Just because I don’t always get it right doesn’t make me a transphobe.

Forklift that situation over to text on a screen with someone who is essentially anonymous to me, with whom I may never have interacted with before, it’s highly likely that I’m going to get it wrong even if I try. Then, if I use the generic pronoun “they” in order to avoid misgendering someone, and I get smacked down for that? That’s just plain unreasonable, and I have no interest interacting with anyone who would throw shade for that reason.

For blahaj to threaten defederating with an entire instance over just that is completely unreasonable. Maybe that threat was taken based on an incomplete or inaccurate understanding of the facts. Maybe there are facts that I don’t know. What I do know is that just because someone uses strong language to disagree with someone else doesn’t mean there’s any bigotry at play.
