This isn't really a paradox.

On panel 3, the genie ignores the first wish, which means the wish in panel 1 never happens. Guy gets 1 wish back, but because he wished for his 3rd wish to not be fulfilled, that wish will do nothing. Genie peaces out because his job here is done.

I'm sure they'll make an exception when it works against the person making the wishes.

I imagine the reason you're not getting help for your issue on GitHub is that your report makes it impossible for anyone to say what's wrong. You're supposed to submit an example project where the issue occurs.

If it happens every time you try to use those tools, then the problem is likely specific to your system, because evidently most people can use those tools just fine.

Oh, if you didn't steal anything then that makes it a lot less morally questionable.

Why were you burgling the ski lift?

No idea, but if I had to guess, corticosteroids break down so quickly that it's rare to be exposed to them inadvertedly.

Like any good conspiracy theory, it has a grain of truth in it.

We really do live in a world full of unnatural endocrine disruptors and their use has drastically increased over the past several decades (though it's unlikely there's a conspiracy to deliberately poison people, or frogs, with them), and endocrine disruptors really do fuck the body up in all sorts of fascinating ways.

That article says so too:

In contrast to claims about chemicals in the water, the effects of hormones on sexual orientation appear to occur at the prenatal stage, during organization of the brain.[16] Endocrine disruptor exposure during fetal development has been shown to affect sexual differentiation of the brain in animals,[4] however any effect on human sexual orientation or gender identity requires further research.[4][3]

I have no real feedback on your project specifically, but I've had this same concern of YouTube eventually probably going away or being totally enshittified and the videos on it becoming effectively lost, so I've been archiving a few of my favourite channels using ytdl-sub. It's a script wrapper for yt-dlp that downloads the videos along with a bunch of metadata.

Personally I've been adding them to my Jellyfin server for now under a separate category (ytdl-sub creates Jellyfin-friendly metadata). Some kind of community archive would of course be best, but there's many difficulties with that. Most prominently the fact that YouTube isn't dead or completely enshittified yet, so there's no driving motivation for the effort. Copyright issues would be the second major problem.

Creating an individual torrent for every video doesn't seem like a great solution, because the typical channel has lots of videos, up to thousands. Just between the four channels I've archived I have about 2000 video files, which is getting in the realm of torrent clients starting to choke on that many torrents.

Also these four channels add up to about 500 GB of data, which is why I pretty quickly started having second thoughts about archiving every channel I'm subscribed to. I mostly went with 1080p quality; settling for 720p would probably help a lot in the disk space department.

I believe they increasingly use PLA which is a bioplastic. But yeah it used to be, and in many cases likely still is, polyethylene which is an oil product.

"Aavikolta" would be more typical in this case.

Place name inflections in the "from" sense are quite arbitrary in Finnish, I don't think there's any consistent rule for them. You can be from aavikolta and mereltä and Tampereelta, but metsästä and ilmasta and Turusta.

Thank you Mr. ChatGPT

I wonder if this has something to do with the EU mandating most consumer electronics to have replaceable batteries from next year onwards.

The larval stages are predators or parasitoids of the eggs and larvae of other insects. The adult females usually deposit eggs in the vicinity of possible hosts, quite often in the burrows of beetles, wasps, or solitary bees.

Larvae live parasitically in the nests of various solitary bees and wasps.[2] When the fly larva locates a host larva, it will consume it slowly, greatly increasing in size as it tightly holds onto the host, eventually becoming a pupa and overwintering.[9]

haha yeah, adorable

Perhaps grouping by year would be a good compromise. The problem, of course, is what to do if you're wanting to track channels that still actively upload. I'm not sure there'd really be an audience for that though -- if the channel is still active, people can just go watch the videos on YouTube directly, no?

Most torrent clients start having trouble at around 10k torrents, forcing use of multiple instances, and that will be fairly easy to hit by seeding entire channels worth of videos as individual torrents.

I feel like most people think of YouTube in terms of creators they like rather than individual videos, and the way the site is structured makes it difficult to cleanly subdivide a creator you like into smaller parts than "all their videos". Therefore if one archives something, more often than not they'll probably archive an entire channel, so it'd be easy to end up seeding a ton of videos.

The other option is that they archive random individual videos that mean a lot to them, but I feel like that approach is rather incompatible with a private tracker-style community archive to begin with. It'd be a bit like a music tracker where people just upload individual songs they like.

For stuff like this I wish there was a better option than torrents. If only IPFS was actually practically useful...

I think you're thinking of 3D printed PLA which indeed typically isn't food safe. Industrially produced PLA can be food safe and it's used in a lot of food packaging, disposable cutlery etc.

Extremely American tweet. "Pro-capitalist left" is the definition of European social democrats. No, I don't agree with European social democrats, I think their economic policy was built for a pre-neoliberalism and pre-globalism world that no longer exists, but I just wanted to point out that this guy is clueless.

This apparently also bans BPS, which is chemically almost identical to BPA and has been used by the industry as a replacement in many "BPA free" products. Could not find word on whether BPF, another bisphenol that's chemically almost identical to BPA, is banned. The regulation just says that "Further harmonised classification of bisphenols and bisphenol derivatives is likely in the future".

The regulation: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/3190/oj/eng

In some of them the state will pay for those, yes. There's other kinds of leftist policy besides communism.

I have no idea what you're trying to communicate with that quote.

That source doesn't say that 80% of rivers do not support life anymore. It says that 78.8% of rivers in the dataset are showing signs of deoxygenation.
