No, it doesn’t. The ambiguity rises from the fact that it’s not that repeatable. There are many experiments that don’t find this phenomenon to exist when they test it. Then there’s some that do. That’s the problem.
My memory is that the majority of them find that it doesn’t exist and that a small minority find that it does.

Many studies of this are actually ambiguous!.
Like the other person commented, I use Firefox Plus adblocker on my phone and it’s fine.
It’s not weird that you meet someone through your parents, it’s weird that instead of starting a 10% of a relationship, they start at 90%. . Like they skipped a courtship, have two or three dates and then get married. That’s the part, as an American, I have a hard time accepting.
But hey, in my preferred model you should be living with your significant other for at least a year or two before you get married.
We did the disposable camera thing too, and out of them we got zero good shots from them. I don’t regret doing that, but I also don’t recommend it.
They also have to be within your budget, and they have to be available on the day of your wedding.
So many people here don’t really know what they’re talking about. Chip companies can’t cut corners on stability because of the amount of money that goes into everything around the chips is huge. If you think of a PC motherboard and you look at how many components are on that board now, imagine if one of the company’s cheaped out on a chip and didn’t bother testing it before sending it out and the only time they found out it was bad was when they finished making a board. The cost of finding, repairing and replacing those components far exceeds the pennies that they save by cheaping out.
The real answer is that their customers are a user of the chips and the cost of a bad part is massively more expensive than a tiny savings in manufacturing the chip.
The only place they cheap out on parts is in things that are standalone and dirt cheap such as an RFID chip. I’ve seen those get manufactured without test and only at the very end after they’ve been assembled to their antenna they then test and reject the ones that fail. They get away with it there only because the cost of the chip and antenna are so cheap.
Imagine Apple putting a sub-tier component in their phone and having to recall 10% of their phones because of it. It’s unheard of. The people who buy the chips are usually companies that use them and they have a very low threshold for bad components. While it’s true, some parts are binned for performance, they are never binned for quality.
Note - I’ve been involved in the test of semiconductors for the past 20+ years making load boards (package test) and probe cards (Wafer test) for many different IC manufacturers.
It’s an ego thing, he’ll hire a bunch of really expensive lawyers and drag it out as long as he can. This is what the rich do.
Actually don’t have a problem with this. I think all countries should have one primary language that is used across the entire country and that everyone in the country knows the language.
No, I’m not saying you should suppress the native languages or do things like only allow that language to be used in government offices, but for schooling and general communication, I think it’s best if everyone in the country is using one language. That helps keep everyone linked culturally, which is a crucial part of having a unified country.
It’s all about empathy. If they lack empathy or kindness then fuck them. I don’t want them in my life and I prefer not to interact with them.
As father of an 18-year-old who is about to turn 19 and a 17-year-old she’s about to turn 18, I can’t imagine booting either of them out at this age. Could they stand on their own? Probably, but it seems inhumane and cruel.
I hope leaving was your choice and that it worked out well for you.

And “utter menace” in what regard?
Anything can be backdoor… In, but I’m really struggling to see how you could do something useful with a dram chip. In theory, if it were smart enough, it could analyze the data that’s being stored and manipulated in some way, but there’s no way a dram module would have the processing power and brains to do anything useful with this.
And memory manipulation would be about the most it could accomplish because the dram modules themselves don’t have signal lines that can control anything. They basically have data alliance address lines, return lines, power ground and control circuitry. They can’t affect the rest of the motherboard/ computer other than subverting data… And computers tend to be pretty good at catching memory that doesn’t store data properly.
If you tried hard enough, you could figure out a scenario where this could work, but I don’t think this is something we really need to worry about.
It’s just a celebration of winter solstice. My family is as atheist as the day is long, but we still enjoy the trappings of Christmas.
I’m sorry your bio family aren’t better people. I hope you’ve found better quality humans to call your family.
Excuse me for being out of the loop, but is there a path towards AI photo manipulation coming for gimp? (Or already here?). Basically doing things like generative fill and other AI editing capabilities?
(I use affinity photo for my photo editing at the moment, so it’s been awhile since I’ve been paying attention to gimp.)
This is a bit of a weird question to answer because it depends a lot on context.
At its core, the purpose of life is to reproduce and guarantee your bloodline passes on to the next generations. That’s kind of the heart of evolution. That’s great and all but that just means we’re here and we have a lot of time in between all that if we even want to follow that purpose.
Beyond that evolution purpose, I believe that the goal in life is to get as much enjoyment out of life as possible. A lot of that is based on experiences and personal growth. But the reality is that’s all a personal choice. You get to make up your own purpose, and that’s just one I’ve made up.
You do you, but life is short and we don’t get a second chance.
It was advice I have myself in college… Don’t focus on getting good grades, focus on learning. Judge your success on how much you learned.
The only time my grades actually mattered was interviewing for jobs right out of college. After that, every other job is based on your previous job and non no one ever asked again.
I’m in engineering and it this doesn’t necessarily translate to other fields. But I’m currently the cto for a mid sized tech company.
