This is nonsensical. Fundamentally this is a file made to be uploaded to gmail or fastmail named `<provider>Filters.xml`. In what universe would you "use" this on your elementary aged child's devices?
> I see this as an extension of tshirt and jeans to work at an office job. The unforeseen consequence being the elimination of decorum everywhere. It’s not really about vulgarity, but a general lack of respect for others, standards for ourselves, and dissolving social culture.
I think we'll be okay with dispensing of the "social culture" that is slacks and a polo.
Generally 15% total remission seizure free. Glut-1 defficiency is 80% total remission (20% of population with epilepsy). 50% of children will respond (helps but not totally).
For type 2 diabetes it's even better, like 70% IIRC med free.
That's not what that experiment is showing. If you move the trigger by 1mm and jostle the slide, nothing will happen. You have to take the trigger _to the wall_, and then 0.5mm further, and then wiggle the slide.
It does. This whole "small amount of pressure on the trigger thing" stemmed from a video by "Wyoming Gun Project", in which he did the exact same thing to a P320.
I think the founders would be pretty surprised to see the vast majority of electoral votes being determined all-or-nothing by the popular vote of the citizens of the state. If that was how they intended it to work, you might think they would've set it up that way in the first place.
> Your body adjusts its metabolism based on the amount of food you eat as long as it's not chronic.
Suggests that your metabolism is changing, as though your body becomes more or less efficient at burning calories because you're eating more or less. Instead, these guys eat a huge surplus of calories and then go into a deficit to get back to their standard weight.
Sure he cuts back his calories, but 70 hotdogs is about 21k calories. I don't think he goes into a 21k calorie deficit over the next few weeks. That's an insane deficit. That would be the equivalent of not eating for 8.5 days, which is not possible since it would mess with his training. He probably cuts it back some fraction of that, say 10k and his body's increased metabolism adjusts for the rest.
It would be interesting to know what amount of the calories from the 70 hot dogs is actually absorbed, versus how much is excreted without being absorbed.
Your body is not converting all 21k calories to fat in an event like that. There are many physiological limits to caloric conversion to fat.
I'm not exactly sure what their bodies are doing, but I guarantee you my body would get rid of that food extremely quickly before it was fully digested.
A 21K deficit over 3 weeks would be 1000 Cal/day of deficit. For comparison, this is the amount of deficit required to lose 2 pounds per week, which many people do.
Fire, probably. But also, how complicated would you make the system if you needed to prevent certain switches from working during certain times of flight? At some point... we're all just in the hands of the people in the cockpit.
Sure, but you can open the door, pull the handbrake, or turn the wheel so hard you lose control of the vehicle. These are all similarly preventable, but maybe not worth the risk of being unable to open the door, brake or steer if the safety mechanism fails closed, or if your situation is outside the foresight of its designer.
Also, you don't need multiple certifications and 1500 hours of experience to drive a car.
On my Tesla Model Y there's a hand brake on the push button of the right lever. On the left hand lever there's another push button, the windshield wiper liquid. Guess what have I mistakenly, and scarely, done twice already when driving at highway speeds when my windshield was a little dusty?
New designs are prone to ill decision-making from engineers, drivers and pilots alike. Every pathway of let's do it differently is the beginning of a journey of fine-tuning loops until stability.
A friend did exactly that in a manual transmission, doing 100km/h.
She was mad and said she has to jam it hard ( going for 5th and missed), but it went into reverse. And the gearbox literally hit the road when she let out the clutch.
There may be a good reason to cut fuel to one engine shortly after takeoff.
You could have a system that prevents both switches being thrown, and only in the specific window after takeoff, but you’ve also now added two additional things that can fail.
They look nice, but they can be turned on the C17 (and probably other military airplanes).
Commercial airplanes have safeguards against in-flight thrust reverser deployment. That is why they only work in tandem with the ground sensing systems - like the airplane must firmly believe both main landing gears to be physically on the ground for both reversers to be operational.
Oh, the irony of all of these "free speech" defenders celebrating their "right" to be offensive online, when the OG free speech (1st Amendment) is actively being attacked and dismantled by a regime that they likely worship.
Their viewpoints border on religious zealotry and it's pointless to try and reason with them.
At this point in time, if someone is still hailing Musk as a champion of free speech, I can't see any other explanation than that they're ideologically a nazi themselves. The guy outed himself several times as a nazi, doing salutes on national TV, twitting anti-semitic bullshit, and now tweaking their AI to promote a new holocaust and glorify Hitler. There comes a time when you have to call out nazism for what it is.
Yes, it did. Every large platform including Twitter was censoring its users due to state pressure. Even Facebook has since admitted that they were told to censor information that was true, and they knew to be true.
They don't just censor, they limit organic influences. Your content won't get displayed more than n times, so you can't get more popular than n views, unless the system selects you as today's lottery winner, in which case it will be (reported as)viewed trillion times.
The only defense against this is the fact that Twitter users know system too well for this to be not immediately obvious.
> the report shows X’s dedication to content moderation by suspending millions of accounts and removing harmful posts, which could potentially help rebuild trust among users concerned with safety and dangerous behavior. On the other hand, this increased moderation contradicts Musk’s earlier promise of promoting free speech, something he has been very vocal about, potentially alienating users who see X becoming more restrictive.
You mean the story about Hunter Biden's laptop? That story? About Hunter Biden supposedly selling access to the president?
I find it odd now that Trump is in office and has the entirety of the government to investigate corruption in the executive office he's suddenly gone silent about that.
I guess that means that the executive office is now free of any taint of corruption!
Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son for any crimes during a 10 year period 2014-2024. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3dx9n3m9y2o
He later pardoned other family members and political allies.
That was disappointing but understandable, considering who was following him into office.
The Hunter Biden corruption story was true in the sense it was old school genteel corruption that virtually everybody in politics does: trade on their connections with promise of getting deals done and/or a veneer of legitimacy. It's a problem worthy of scrutiny but only if it is done across party lines.
But this misses the entire point: the whole part about the Hunter Biden laptop story was to paint Joe Biden as crooked and was being done solely as negative campaigning. That's it, and it is self evident in how the story dropped once it was no longer useful for that means.
But the millions of Americans who were outraged by this supposed corruption are just fine with it when it's done by their Dear Leader.
That in a nutshell summarizes the "values" of the modern American conservative movement.
There was also AFAIK never any real evidence Hunter actually succeeded in doing anything of actual value for his clients. He was definitely going around representing that he could influence or get people meetings with his dad but there was never an actual tat from the Joe Biden side.
This is correct, as it's clear that if they had the goods they would have trumpeted the fact. But that didn't matter, it was simply the story itself that mattered (as the intended audience wants to be told what to think).
Again, that's not behavior that should be acceptable but it's SOP in politics by default.
What continues to blow my mind is that if "their guys" are corrupt they're totally fine with it. In my world, no corruption is acceptable corruption, regardless of who's doing it.
Because the new administration promised an unhinged DOJ. Biden was already vindicated in these pardons once Trump dropped legitimate charges against Eric Adams to try and further his political agenda. That and arresting judges, starting political witch hunts, etc...
I believe they were referring to the fact that you can't hit a button and generate new fingerprints for yourself. The ones you have are with you forever, generally.
I'd argue that an immigrant working their way up from the bottom is much more useful to society than some loafer whose ancestors maybe did something two hundred years ago. After all, almost half of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or children of immigrants.
Who said dual citizenship is on the table for most of the folks affected by these proceedings? For many people, this WILL be home. Why will some H1B visa kid give a shit about Iran, Venezuela or Mexico when one of his parents are from any of those places - and THEY aren't?
People don't lose their parents citizenship anymore because record keeping is much better now. My ancestors probably arrived in the 1720s but the British burned the census records during the revolution. This doesn't happen anymore.
As for dual citizens they were all waving Mexican flags during the LA protests. They wouldn't if they didn't give a shit.
>"The British burned the census records during the revolution. This doesn't happen anymore."
LOL What? Destruction against governmental records doesn't happen anymore? I guess you can spare me for remembering Iraq's National Library being burned down twice in 2003, or Israel - which is on its newest genocidal bender and is now creating NEW fresh asylum seekers that this information will be relevant for - destroying media devices and storage in Palestinian territories the year before.
>"As for dual citizens they were all waving Mexican flags during the LA protests. They wouldn't if they didn't give a shit."
They probably did, and I can redirect your attention to tons of families born outside of America that had children here that subscribed to national identity.
- Kamala Harris, Indian Mother and Jamaican Father
- Vivek Murthy, Indian parents
- Sergey Brin, Jewish Soviet parents
Great, we have cherrypicked examples for both of our stances, how would you like to proceed?
99.87% of Americans do not have a sense of their own culture. 99.87% dual citizens do (especially three countries you listed). Iranians are raised to know they are Iranians not from fucking Oklahoma
name one thing that is part of “american culture” (other than bringing military to football games which only countries like north korea do), I’ll wait… :)
I also implore you to research everything on that list and its origin or credit for widespread use, starting with the one you critiqued:
"The ice cream float was invented by Robert M. Green in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1874 during the Franklin Institute's semicentennial celebration. The traditional story is that, on a particularly hot day, Green ran out of ice for the flavored drinks he was selling and instead used vanilla ice cream from a neighboring vendor, inventing a new drink.[3]"
Cheers for admitting your ignorance and willing to expand on it, and showing you haven't been a member of the national identity (which is THE ONLY ONE in the world where most of its members believe ANYONE can assimilate to, regardless of untenable characteristics):
- Ways of Eating Food: Tailgating, Cookouts, Drive-Thrus, Clam Bake
- Sports: American Football, Hockey, Pickleball, Lacrosse, Baseball, Basketball, Motorsports (Nascar, Indy), Skateboarding and Snowboarding
- Holidays and Celebrations: Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Presidents Day, Memorial Day as a colloquial "start" of Summer and all the events in it, Labor Day as a colloquial "end" of Summer and all the events in it, Black Friday
- Technology: The pioneer in modern technology, from Silicon Valley to patent protections worldwide
- Military: Being exceptionalist in a Pax Americana era, being proud of our military and our might on the world stage - even at the expense of our own socialization (B2 bomber compilation with the text "Russia/China/Iran is about to see why we don't have free healthcare")
- Media: America is by far the world's largest exporter of culture with its reign on TV, movie, and music popularity and influence worldwide. If that's not culture to you, you're fundamentally disingenuous.
- Beliefs: Strong individualism ("the individual is the primary unit"), fundamental distrust in government and a shared collective identity in those against it, free-speech absolutism, the right of firearms to protect against real-danger and government tyranny, belief that there is "always better" and to strive for it with a "Can-Do" attitude, the idea that ANYONE can be American regardless of traits, while every other culture on Earth strongly conforms to their own - American has a unique embrace of all other cultures (which, itself, is a culture)
- Out-of-household activities and beliefs: Drive-In Movies, Road trips, out-of-household services has a huge belief on tipping
- Work-life: Strong meritocracy belief (those who work hard will be rewarded), first-name basis with equals and superiors, 9-to-5 identity, side hustles and multiple jobs
- Language: Regional dialects, no official language
It's clear those 5 decades haven't much to show for themselves.
