Better mental health care, better education, more strict gun laws. It took 30 seconds to think of solutions other than a surveillance state all of which also are less susceptible to abuse and misuse by single individuals with access to a wide ranging surveillance system.

Most mass shooters have not at all been concerned about getting caught, just doing as much damage as possible before getting killed it caught. Unless the idea is to start with "pre-crime" levels of surveillance, in which case big oof.

Wouldn't have thought of Gosling for this role but he's been great in everything where he was given a half decent script. My concern is more with what the script/screenplay will have rather than his acting chops. He's done romcom, action, and comedy really well so hard to see him failing at this barring a terrible script.

The title says "hundred" but then the article itself is giving examples that are the median salary in the US. These people are paying tens of thousands for match makers to "sift" through the 5% of men who meet their metrics

Note the text below was based on the assumption this was a natural lake. Please see the reply comments below providing further clarification. The homeowner cleaning up his shorelines is a drop in the bucket compared to the fact that an entire swamp was replaced with an artificial lake. Leaving my original comment intact for posterity inspire of it being incorrect in this context.

I think the problem is that this is NOT the natural state of this specific shoreline. If being left alone resulted in trees and grass growing then a sandy "beach" shoreline is not in balance with the local ecosystem. Trimming the grass and clearing a small path for access would have been okay but nuking that span of shoreline has now introduced significant erosion risk. Grasses, shurbs, and roots play an important role in preventing erosion. Maybe the 50-100m stretch won't be a big deal in the long run but if all the homes in the area follow suit then long term large scale problems will arise. Even still at a small scale, I can already see how close this shoreline is to their home. They have eliminated a decent bit of erosion preventing vegetation that served as a buffer from the back yard of their homes. A few seasons of high and low tide cycles will, at best wash away their "pretty walking area", and at worst undermine the stability of the soil near the building foundation. There is no easy "undo" for the damage they have done, the closest thing is artificial erosion preventative measures which will be concrete, metal, or some other manufactured system that will be much more of an eye soar then the original condition they apparently hated so much.

Friendly rebuttal. I don't like this version either because of two reasons. First is that it is still using stolen material to do any of this "creative work". Second: the knob twiddling, mixing colors, and all versions of that are integral to the creation process. Happy accidents are why we have a lot of what we have in the creative world. Somone chasing a specific sound might discover their own sound while twiddling away for hours. They will be able to do that in a much more replicable and modifyable way than the black box that is "AI". But that's just my opinion as an amature creative.

The 12 jurors are part of the same population that voted for trump. Are we really still surprised at an average group of people making nonsensical decisions...

Maybe a slight misunderstanding.... If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in the US then we need 5.1 earths. If everyone in the WORLD lived the way people do in India then we would need less. Makes sense to me.

Thanks for the clarification. I originally tried to access the piefed post but it wouldn't load so I worked off the assumption this was a natural lake.

I'll edit my original post with a note to clarify my misunderstanding.

However the new rules set by the current administration is also significantly devaluing those credits. Furthermore other EV manufacturers and traditional auto maker who now also sell EVs are chipping away at the value AND demand for those credits. Relevant article

I really don't have much sympathy for anyone that is continuing to use "AI" agents in their production environment. "AI" at every level has continued to show it is still predictive text on steroids.

I literally just got out of watching this. I'm not sure how I feel yet but as of right now I think it's much weaker than the two previous installments. I was not aware that it was a 2 part movie so that played a large part in feeling like it was incomplete as the movie was approaching it's end.

Not a fan of the movie trope of a character (especially a child) doing something extremely stupid only to be saved by the plot. Spike went from barely having the mental strength to kill a strung up zombie to playing hero explorer literally overnight.

No explanation for Isla being able to become badass in the middle of the night and killing the fat zombie then immediately going back to being sick.

Dr. Kelson was solid as a character and was probably the best fit for a 28 years later theme. But even with him, it made no sense why he didn't just kill the alpha that he kept tranquilizing. He explained that his little rope crossing kept them out only for the alpha to confront them the next morning.

No explanation for the logistics of pregnancy but we have to assume it was the alpha due to the few focused shots of his massive unit.

I assume some or a lot of this maybe explained in part two but I'm afraid they might just gloss past some of my earlier points.

As of right now 6/10.

Guess what Trump sucks too, but I'm sure we would want a heads up if another country was about to come "liberate us". The soldiers signed up for this and at this point "just following orders" doesn't exempt them from the risks of an illegal invasion of another country. The alternative is Maduro would have broadcast knowledge of the upcoming attack and it would have been called off. No soldiers dead, US citizens aware of the attempt, and just a little more uncertainty inside the Trump administration. But we'll never know. Still, it's hard for me to imagine what is playing out right is not significantly worse than any outcome from a leak. This has opened the floodgates for this administration to more boldly carry out additional invasion of other countries with little to no checks and balances in place.

In a nation with countless local chains and small coffee shops I'm still amazed that Starbucks survives there. Erican marketing really did do a number... I guess it also helps that the Chung who fired the CEO seems to be a MAGA aficionado

It's up to the public how they respond. The point here is not setting a precedent for police withholding bodycam footage regardless of who request. We can't open any doors for police to try and withhold footage more than they already do. This time it just an embarrased celebrity but next time it might be copes wrongfully arresting, killing, etc. I do tngicr a shit about JT but I do care that body cam footage stays public information.

Fun maybe, easy not so much. I would say I have intermediate level knowledge but it was significant effort to setup a home server and then germinification to work reliably. I would still recommend it but would caveat it by said it's a small challenge even just to setup locally. I would NOT recommend it for beginners trying to have remote access.

This is beautiful mockery. The app has become so trash, more animation coupled with more errors in the actual language material itself. I barely do one lesson a day because I'm hooked by the streak. I really need to find another app.
