Well, the thing is that if it's Sunday you can't know if it's the Sunday at the end of the week or the Sunday at the beginning of the week. Therefore, each Sunday is in two weeks and should be counted twice, 8 + 2 = 10 days in a week. Don't feel bad, a lot of people miss this.
It tracks, though "attaining a higher state of entropy" is just what Universes generally do it seems, given our n of 1 Universes we've started to evaluate.
Though, I'm not sure if life is the best at it, when compared to say a black hole. Some smart apes burning off fossil fuels seems pretty insignificant in comparison -- or even seeing what our own Sun does in a few seconds.
File that under, "The Earth will be fine in the long run, it's humans that are f'd" George Carlin pov. Maybe when we start building Death Stars (plural)
Just like text results from AI, when images like this get better, the more and more subtle yet absolute wrongness is going to be a nightmare to deal with.
Imagine a ask AI to show me a sewer cap that's less than a foot wide (or whatever, I dunno, watch TMNT right now). And it does, just by showing a sewer cap that looks photorealistic and a ruler, that has markings from one end to the other that only go up to 8 inches. That doesn't mean sewer caps come in that size, it just means you can produce a rendered image to fit what you asked for.
It was very similar to the classic banner substitution malware/adware from the early internet.
Most media people have gone back to unique affiliate discount-coupon-codes instead of clickable URL parameters to track lead referrals.
Unfortunately, this also leads to sampling bias, and campaigns spelunking spam statistics. I'd guess on YT irritating people drives engagement in some twisted way. lol =3
They proved a serious vulnerability to the entire site without causing irreputable damage.
Phreak on.
(and not very important but to be pedantic, I don't know if hn has an sql backend? It used to be all in-memory if I recall, but that was many years ago)
There are many substances (including legal and easily available) which can cause vivid and weird dreams. For example you can try apple juice and St. John's wort.
I've taken Epsom salt as directed on the drug facts label 3 times, ever, and all three times I probably avoided an urgent care/clinic visit by doing so.
If you're ever so severely clogged up that you're approaching a week without - Epsom salt will, in fact, work. It works so well that I'd recommend pre/probiotic foods for a couple days afterward. It completely cleans you out.
Otherwise, I agree. You have to know why you're clogged, too; if you got no clue, go see a Dr.
constipation is one reason, but also just a temporary, painful blockage for whatever reason. Epsom is like drano for your intestines. The dosage information is on all epsom salt packages designed to be used this way. Obviously don't ingest like, lavender scented bath salt (Sitz salt, whatever)
You're not wrong -- you're absolutely correct. The problem is that these changes will start impacting the supporters of the victors as well, it's just that the Administration will blame some other entity. We've seen the playbook before.
Not that I want anyone to lose their benefits, but perhaps there will be a sea change when people start losing their Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, Veteran benefits, just being able to forecast the weather reasonably well, flu vaccines, safe and competent air traffic control -- oh what else is on the chopping block...
This time around the changes might actually take effect quickly enough for people to feel them during the current administration.
Compared to the previous playbook of making changes and then blaming the effects on the next administration. While taking credit for everything good kicking in from the previous administration of course.
> The most important aspect of the drug that makes it work so well is it forces you to change your habits, no will power required. It also punishes you for bad eating habits. (That late night trip to McDonalds will have you feeling like shit the next day).
But the late night trip to McD's always makes you feel like shit the next day, it's just that we then forget and do it again. (Same with drinking).
The B52 was never a low altitude bomber, you're thinking of the B1A, which was to be a high altitude, super sonic bomber but SAM missile tech advanced faster than the development of the bomber could happen, and it was canned, before being resurrected as a subsonic, low altitude bomber (the B1B). The XB-70 couldn't make that switch because it was a ridiculous design (for starters).
The B52 role was to have wings (and nuclear bombs) in the air constantly over the arctic to act as a deterrent. The only way that idea could attempt to survive out of the 50's is if they (or one of them) were < hour from a target at all times. They're huge, they flew slow, and their flight path didn't change much. The whole multi-decade mission was a huge waste of money; a stage drama.
The B52 also became a heavy bomber in Vietnam, with incredibly heavy loses. The Air Force in general in Vietnam was a shit show -- observe the F4.
It's only when you have air superiority can you dredge up a B52 to deliver a payload.
These are not winning strategies in a war that would start today by an adversary like China. We're going to be caught with our pants down with B52s as the stains on our underwear.
The Vietnam era is totally different. LeMay and Powers were sociopaths whose goal was to nuke things and intercept things that would nuke the US. Survivability wasn’t really a consideration - assuming you finished nuking the Soviets, there would be nothing to return to.
The needs of Vietnam required different tactics, and the airmen paid in blood for the myopic vision of the leaders.
