I mean, epistemologically we can't know anything for sure. All we can do is try to come to reasonable conclusions with the information available to us.

The job of President is complicated. It is not remotely possible to go over every single detail of every single action. Every president makes whoopsies, I prefer to give benefit of the doubt between mistakes and malice. There are plenty of intentional things to criticize without sensationalizing this sort of thing

From what I read Biden didn't seek that judge to pardon, he was just one person affected by some big mass pardons. In this case I think he was one of like 1500 people who were moved to house arrest for non-violent crimes during Covid, who Biden pardoned all at once.

Still not great, the administration should've reviewed the details of those cases first, but it's not like he deliberately sought the guy out.

This commercial features the main characters from the 2000s tv show Gilmore Girls

Ah, that makes more sense. She's "drinking him out of business" because she usually just leaves without paying.

Looks like a straight cigar cutter to me

Okay? Just because I understand the point they're trying to make doesn't mean I agree with their conclusion. I have no love for that CEO, I just think that there are enough good criticisms that we don't have to twist people's words into things they didn't say.

Produced? Hard to say. Apples to apples would be managed/administrated, that's probably in the neighborhood of $5-10 million. Why?

They didn't claim that though? They went on to talk about other factors too. The point of mentioning revenue was to portray him as "the American Dream", going from a small town to leading a major company.

Keep in mind I'm not defending the guy, but I don't see the point in being purposely obtuse

Because they are trying to paint him as a productive member of society. Revenue is still the measure of how much business you do.

That much revenue isn't, by itself, the bad part. Revenue is just how much you take in from your sales. If they had minimal overhead and paid the majority of that out to claims, that would be fine (in the context of our existing healthcare system). The problem is the profit, how much of that $280B goes into the company's pockets instead of claim payouts.

You clearly don't know biology do you

Says the person claiming a fetus is a fully developed human.

are you capable of sustaining yourself I you were left in a jungle ?

Millions of people live in the jungles of the world. How many fetuses live outside wombs? Oh right, none. Because there's a difference between having the skills to survive in the jungle, and being a fully developed human capable of independent biological survival.

Have you ensured that every single one of your gametes resulted in a child? Then you're a genocidal hypocrite.

Then how come they can't survive without leeching off a host? 80% of pregnancies spontaneously end in miscarriage. That doesn't sound viable or fully developed to me. If it could survive outside the womb, you'd have a point. But it can't, so you don't.

You know who was actually fully-developed? All the women who have died due to pregnancy complications thanks to draconic laws that take away their rights over their own bodies. I'll hold you responsible for murdering them.

 
 

I've got an appx 12' x 24' space between my single story house and tall metal barn garage. The roof of the house slopes toward the space.

I want to convert it into a greenhouse so I can grow veggies without having to chase off critters. Ideally I should be able to install gutters that drain to a rain barrel.

I'm hoping some of you fine folks have resources and recommendations for this kind of project.

 

Looks innocuous enough at first glance right? Let's zoom in on the problem:

These don't go together. If the semicircle on the left is correct, then this is showing moon phases, and the symbol on the right should be of a gibbous moon:

If the cookie-with-a-bite-taken-out in the right is correct, then this is showing an eclipse, and the symbol on the left should be of a 50% partial eclipse:

It drives me crazy every time I look at it.

 

I'm considering pulling the trigger on an X1C but the waste is a huge turn-off. I know there are options for purging to infill or a sacrificial object, but last I heard there's still a considerable amount of purge/prime. Can someone who's played with the settings tell me honestly how much progress has been made in reducing waste?

 

Still pretty new to local LLMs, and there's been a lot of development since I dipped my toe in. Suffice to say I'm fairly swamped and looking for guidance to the right model for my use

I want to feed the model sourcebooks, so I can ask it game mechanic questions and it will respond with reasonable accuracy (including page references). I tried this with privateGPT a month or two back, and it kinda worked but it was slow and wonky. It seems like things are a bit cleaner now

 

Let's kick off some activity here with a question:

How much crunch do you, personally, like in your games?

Ultra Lite? Lite? Basic Set? Every book you can get your hands on?

Light on combat, heavy on skills? Vice-versa? Light overall with some aspects way more fleshed-out? Heavy overall with some aspects way more simplified? Are there specific mechanics you like to take full advantage of? Mechanics you like to gloss over?

No wrong answers, let's just get some discussion going
