It’s not the sulphites, but the chitosan that acts as a clarifier that comes from shrimp shells and makes it not vegan.

But breathing is a prerequisite of living, so while you may not be able to walk every day you are alive (you become disabled or elderly) you will always breath. Over the course of a life, breathing is likely the better income.

Well there’s only 10 options, try them all! (For science)

Many states have tax cuts for living in the property you own. The high tax rate is the state saying “if you make money, we want to make money”.

“How to save a life” by The Fray is literally intervention instructions.

Sure. It just means you got a drinking buddy!

That increase isn’t in spite of the company’s layoffs. It is because of them.

The feedback cycle rewards this behavior, so it will continue to happen.

Foie gras.

Ah, winning was easy, young man, governing’s harder

Wait, does your Costco really have the Al Pastor Salad? I miss that salad!

This can probably be modeled off the Digg to Reddit transition. Digg made a couple bad decisions in a row and Reddit exploded. Reddit is making a couple potentially bad decisions in a row, so give it a year or two and the fediverse will come around.

Did you just make a universal API?

Again, just looking at the legal side of things, trying to remove all personal bias:

The question becomes “was Jan 6th an ‘insurrection’, a ‘rebellion’ or a ‘riot’?” While judges have described it as an insurrection from the bench, there have been no charges of insurrection brought against anybody involved so far. The charges include destruction of property, assault, and interfering with an official proceeding, but no charges of insurrection.

Until someone is charged with insurrection or rebellion, legally speaking, it was maybe a “riot”, which, strictly reading the constitution, is not disqualifying for public office.

It pains me to say this, but in an effort to break up the group think, remember, he hasn’t been convicted of anything yet. If we really believe in due process and innocent till proven guilty, until he is tried and convicted, these petitions have no merit.

All that being said, justice delayed is justice denied, so we should be looking for court reforms to make this whole process move faster, while still being a fair as humanly possible.

It sets a dangerous precedent. What’s to stop someone from creating a community, then go to every other instance they can find and register on, create a community with the same name, lock it, and direct everyone to the instance they want?

Any community that sees no activity (comments, votes, post, etc) over a reasonable time period (90 days?) should be automatically deleted or all the mods are removed allowing for others to come in and take over the name space.

Yup, that’s terrible. PSC’s still have a long way to go and we need to find encapsulation technologies to extend their life more, but where they shine is that they should be dirt cheap. If they cost 1/4 of silicon based cells, but only last 1/2 as long, that’s still a massive improvement.

AI is only as good as the model it is trained on, so while there are absolute truths, like most scientific constants, there are also relative truths, like “the earth is round” (technically it’s irregularly shaped ellipsoid, not “round”), but the most dangerous “truth” is the Mandela effect, which would likely enter the AI’s training model due to human error.

So while an AI bot would be powerful, depending on the how tricky it is to create training data, it could end up being very wrong.
