You could say the exact same thing about the smartest people being able to spread their message, and the two effects cancel out.

Same age as any other, more or less. These are human problems that won’t be fixed until we’re no longer human.

Nope, humans have always been stupid. People said the same shit when the printing press was invented, or TV, or whatever.

Seriously, crack a history book. Modern times are actually pretty good, even with all the bullshit.

Yeah, it wins by default. I have to say though, I’ve had one for years now and aside from it noticing it not able to bitstream Dolby TrueHD (decoded internally and sent as LPCM) or play some forms of Dolby Vision content (falls back to HDR10), it’s worked flawlessly as a media appliance. Some minor connection issues with screen mirror airplay from laptop to TV or music airplay from phone to TV but not enough to keep me away. I have the first gen 4k and if a family member needed a streaming box I’d buy a used one off eBay and a new remote. A solid setup for cheap.

Set him up with NextDNS then.

Then there’s programs ran by the bases to offer financial relief even in no shutdowns, not sure how’d they ration their funds during a shutdown.

I haven’t seen programs run by the base themselves, but AER is Army Emergency Relief. They have a lot of money and will either give you a no or very low interest loan or often just give you a grant that you don’t have to pay back.

Ah, yeah you’re right. My bad. I believe there were threats of shutdowns but they never happened. Still got some emails from USAA about what to do in a potential shutdown AFAIK.

This happened during the Obama administration, I was active duty in those days. I think USAA and AER had some programs if you needed a check during the shutdown, not sure if that’s happening these days.

Wow, has it really been that long?

After Pink Floyd used it, the Hammerskins adopted the symbol. They’re a pretty big white power skinhead group. They even hold little neo Nazi music festivals.

Remember that shooting of the Sikh temple in Wisconsin? That guy was associated with the Hammerskins.

Cruz was the sole objecting senator, who claimed without evidence that Wyden’s bill could disrupt law enforcement, “such as knowing where sexual predators are living.”

You don’t need planes in the air 24/7, you need good radar and radio detection equipment.

Regardless, my point is drones are neither high flying nor fast. They’re often able to be caught by helicopters, which also are not high flying or fast. Very high and very fast, simultaneously, is SR-71 levels of performance.

They are indeed hard to hit given their size.

Drones neither fly high nor fast, at least in airplane terms.

Hawken was dope as hell when it was running. It was a bit faster than Mechwarrior, no anime stuff. It looks like Hawken Reborn is an early access game on Steam, but I can’t vouch for it.

ITT: people who didn’t read the article.

Excel is still doing the calculations, not the AI. The AI is helping to write functions. You can easily spot check a couple examples then apply that same formula down the column. I don’t really see the issue.

Of all the things to shove AI into, the first thing that came to my mind years back was Excel. It’s handy when I’m presented a spreadsheet of data at work and I just want to do something like “write a function to extract just the number from a column containing data formatted like LPF_PHASE_OF_CARE [PAF 304001]” because I just want to copy paste all the numbers somewhere. It’s trivial to verify it works correctly, I can examine the formula, and I don’t have to wade through numerous shitty Excel tutorial websites to try and teach myself something I’ll use once or twice a year.

Quick shitpost images I share with friends and Excel functions are where I get the most utility out of AI, which in general I think sucks and is massively overhyped.

That’s not how your immune system works. Your immune reserves are not “spent” nor do they need to replace ones “lost”. It’s not like a military battle. Most pathogens are either destroyed or they avoid destruction through some mechanism - they’re not often fighting back against the WBCs.

Your immune system produces chemicals that make you feel like shit / tired, because it’s evolutionarily advantageous to feel like shit. This keeps you resting and away from others. This is also how medicines like NSAIDS or steroids can make you feel better, by inhibiting the processes instigated by WBCs. It’s not the disease that makes you feel bad, it’s your immune system (unless you’re deathly ill, we’re talking common cold/flu/COVID type stuff here).

It would be impossible for me to go in depth in immunology but your explanation is not at all in line with the evidence we have currently.

It’s definitely the patterns. What I’m saying is the patterns are not any different for cannabis versus any other photoperiod plant. Cannabis isn’t the only thing you veg under 18/6 and flower under 12/12 light cycles. It’s not illegal to grow plants indoors and if I spend 5kW doing it every day that’s nobody’s business but my own. I’ll use my joules however I feel.

That said, it seems like the way to defeat this type of analysis would be to invest in batteries so you can always have a constant 24h drain rather than 5kW turning on every day at the same time for 18 or 12 hours.

Wanna know the difference between growing weed indoors and growing anything else indoors?

Nothing. Fuck off. I’m growing extremely hot peppers indoors with my kilowatts of LEDs.
