So stereotyping gender is back on the menu? Are hair color jokes still taboo?

An LLM once explained to me that it didn’t know, it simulated an answer. I found that descriptive.

A flayer shooter with Oz, you say? Well, the lore is there.

So, basically, there is a difference on one side or the other on a line of a map somewhere? There is a Russia and not-Russia. So even Kreml doesn’t think Chrimea is part of Russia…

Totally unlike the other fielded armies globally at the moment.

A warning and belittlement. “Talk to your client”. The godfather wasn’t addressed.

Five years ago I was astonished that the U.S. navy was looking for renewable fuels thinking it would never pan out. Today I see alternatives which has nothing to do with fossils in the private sector. I see heavy transportation companies trying to find ways to electrify their fleet. I think those “grownups” will find themselves in a new reality despite them not wanting to.

And unfeasible? Three years ago maybe. Today we need to revise the time plans. I’m already working at implementing the goals set for 2030 and have started shifting focus towards the big elephant and the 2045 goals.

Religious Easter Egg? What? Who?

The Bible isn’t my literature, but I thought I had the basics, at least…

Hmmm… I wonder what the elevatorpitch for a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektriker is?

What? Won’t creditors accept real estate as security from a man found guilty of fraudulently overvalue his real estate in orde to use as security for the exact purpose of lending more money in a money lending scheme? Shocking!

I wonder, though: if the state of NY expropriate real estate to sell to highest bidder and those auctions fail to meet market value, won’t that create chain reactions? A) the creditor(s) which had that particular building as security will see the value of their asset turn to zero because of negligence from their customer “billionaire”, which should open for a case against Trump for both immediate repayment of the loan and subsequent damages, and B) send a clear signal to all other creditors that they need to secure their assets asap?

One wonders, with such a slim majority, where the speaker and a few others would swing the majority, if they’ve realised they could negotiate bi-partisan agreements which would push conservative policies at the cost of some democratic ones. It would crush the magas, while still pushing conservative agendas and get som form of government working again.

As i said, by definition. If there is anything holding such a deity from doing one thing, or the other, it is unable to do all things, thus not omnipotent.

Well, omnipotency is out, I believe. An omnipotent god needs, by definition, be equally able and likely to be exceedingly cruel as wellwilling. The question is, why would such a god hav given Noah the task of building an arc in the first place?

And the question of humanities “free will” is another nail in the coffin. Either humans only have free will for as much as whatever whim the omnipotent god allows for, or of the free will is immutable, then there is one thing the “omnipotent” god can’t do, and thus omnipotence is out…

Po-tay-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.

So, in a word… And I say this as a European non-english speaker, so I may have got meaning and culture all wrong… It would be unpatriotic?

It needs to be low, but positive and keept stable. If it’s to high it will be self sustaining and increasing, if it’s negative everything stalls. 2% seems to fit the bill.

There could be an argument that 4% would have been just as good, and had the rest of the world united on 4% it would*. However, it would not have changed anything in last year’s combat of inflation. The target would have been defended just as fiercely causing just as much collateral. Only the numbers would have been slightly different.

*Ignoring for a bit those countries that has had to fight to keep inflation up.

I’m not entirely sure how to phrase this, but… Today there are choices…

Well, frankly, Northern Maine isn’t very much north and not enough inland to get the extremes?

Most of Scandinavia has been below -15F for a good part of the new year and being relatively dense (for Scandinavia) in EV coverage I’d say Norway is the best example of EV very cold weather performance.

We’ve had this same “debate” here as well with ice-owners lamenting the perceived loss of range and EV-owners responding “I know, don’t care. Always works, always warm and always topped up”.

If I remember correctly from bio-classes, back in the day, Virus could be either, although not enough to form a complete cell. Granted, it has been almost 30 years since those classes, but the wiki seems to agree.

As opposed to the virus itself, which is might be DNA (or RNA), which breach the cell boundary, which highjack the DNA-replicating parts of the cell to do what the bacteria does in the description IHeartBadCode writes, using the same enzymes to do whatever it’s DNA code has randomly come up with.

[/S] Clearly the virus is a much safer bet!
