Why raise residential tares and not commercial / industrial rates?

Oh, because businesses are subsidizes through taxes. Of course.

Is there any concern from your polish friend that they may be next if Russia wins in Ukraine?

The article I read which had this photo featured stated that Putin had invited a bunch of reporters to Kupiansk to see how the Russian forces had surrounded the city.

Then Zelensky went there and took this photo to be like “oh no, Russia has this place surrounded? I would have never known”

No Idea if that’s true, but that’s the gist I took away from that post.

I really hate the term native ad. It makes it sound like it isn’t the worst thing ever invented.

It should instead be called invasive ads or undercover ads.

All I know is that if I were in constant pain and shitting myself because I had no more bowel control and had no ability or freedom to move myself anymore, and I could no longer do anything I enjoyed like hobbies and I was confined to sleeping 95% of the day away…

I would put myself down.

There’s no guarantee they will even be around to recycle the rings in two years time. The way tech companies are going these days it’s probably not very likely.

If I were in that position I would do the same. Either they can’t evict me or I get sent to prison and I would be kept warm and fed, rather than the streets where I would probably starve or freeze to death.

Vapid anti-AI hate can cause quite a lot of damage. And what for? To feel like you’re superior to everyone that you can spot all the AI errors?

Sure, shame a company for AI use if it’s obviously bad or you have actual proof. But just guessing because you think it’s AI is pretty shitty.

They have vibe journalists now

How often are the terms of service evident at the time of purchase? It’s unreasonable to assume at the checkout that the price is only for a limited time of use. I doubt the put it on the box or on the Amazon page when you purchased stuff like this. Are you supposed to buy it and then return it after reading the fine print in the instruction booklet after opening it up?

I mean, even if chat GPT uses the referenced maximum of 40 Wh and OP did one query per day for 31 days, that would be the equivalent energy usage of leaving a 40W light bulb on for a little over a day, 31 hours, no?

I don’t see how that’s enough energy equivalent to burning down 4 trees as previous commenter stated.

It’s not good, but I don’t see it as unfathomably wasteful.

They might just sell the IP. I imagine they are mostly interested in the sports franchises.

I don’t even understand why you would have them anywhere inside. I have a few outside to warn of movement and stuff outdoors and trigger alarms at certain times but I would never put them inside my house. Already having them outside triggers by paranoia about being watched.

I only pirate games that I wouldn’t mind playing but also hate the publisher, or the publisher makes the games annoying to play despite steams easy UI and setup.

Games from EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc I will pirate with no remorse and then place the launcher link in my steam library.

Maybe because they think one day they will be rich, so obviously rich people are still people.

But they will never be poor, because poor people aren’t people.

He probably thinks he works 80 hour weeks because he is including schmoozing with clients and company paid lunches and dinners as “work”

Who decides who gets to wear the black hat? What if some random bloke goes out and wears one?

I did get the early access and quite enjoyed It up until the production lines got a little complex. A few bugs here and there like employees not doing what they needed to do and the production chain breaking.

I gave it a break after that but maybe I will pick it up again to see if those issues have been fixed.

There was also a small annoyance where something’s could not be automated and it was tedious having to do it manually all the time less the production break down again. Like ordering supplies and restocking the shelves. Hopefully they add a subscription service to phone orders if they haven’t already.

I’m always terrified to write stuff off because I fear I will accidentally write something off that I’m not really allowed to due to some obscure legalese and then I will get audited in 5 five years and owe 10 grand in late fees and interest or some shit.
