It is, eg lidocaine patches. It has to be injected to really do much. Not aware of any injectables that are over the counter.

When Pubs neglected their constitutional duty to appoint Garland

+1 for obsidian! Have you tried out text generator plugin? Uses GPT api’s. Haven’t gotten into D&D but seems like it’d be a great tool for DMs to help make content.

The author did a poor job of explaining that. He’s referencing the thought experiment of a businessman instructing a super effective AI to make paperclips. Given a terse enough objective and an effective enough AI, one can imagine a scenario in which the businessman and the whole world in fact are turned into paperclips. This is obviously not the businessman’s goal, but it was the instruction he gave the AI. The implication of the thought experiment is that AI needs guardrails, perhaps even ethics, or else it can unintentionally result in a doomsday scenario.

Congress already passed the budget. This is just the party of “government doesn’t work” trying to prove it can’t work by breaking things.

What about the disenfranchised caused by first past the post? It’s arguably more representative even if some are partially disenfranchised.

Its a monetization approach, same motives as what youtube does here with the ads so doubt itll ever go away.

So if a predator locks a victim in a closet, does that make lockmakers morally reprehensible?

second term of trump will be an order of magnitude worse

How would it be worse, like more of Jan 6? Would you explain what you mean?

should have let him win

Actually made me laugh. Guys, democrats just need to let repubs win and not hold elected officials responsible for crimes in office, come on.

Nah it was always an energy capacity and density per $ issue. Battery technology doesn’t improve as fast as compute but it has followed a steady ~10% yearly increase. Seems that when one tech plateaus another picks up. Solid state will get us to 4-500 mi/charge. Even electric planes will eventually happen.

If there’s n of something and n+1 breaks it, then it was broken to begin with.

I encourage you to learn facts and circumstances around these cases. Legal eagle on youtube can provide an informative, entertaining overview from a lawyer’s perspective. The details surrounding the documents and the subjects response to inquiry is very different.

I’d push back that US regulatory bodies are strong and successful in some areas and that nuclear power doesn’t necessarily need to fall under regulatory capture. Consider the FAA - not perfect but does a pretty damn good job of keeping the skies safe.

We limit responsibility for youth, is that bigotry?

Youre asking under the context of others (and yourself?) justifying 3rd party vote. I can’t predict how the democrats would vote if/when they have a have a majority. I’m saying if you want those policies the only realistic path forward is to fight for it within the democratic party which was an earlier question of yours. 3rd party vote is strictly counterproductive to those goals. Certainly if Manchin and Sinema are barriers to that, the path forward is to fight for them to be pushed/primaried out and those policies are more likely to be implemented. Progressives represent a large group within the democratic party and more representation for them will shift the Overton window in their direction.

Yes. That’s unfortunately how it is in a 2 party system which is guaranteed by the game theory behind first part the past voting. Burying your head in the sand and pretending otherwise with a 3rd party vote leads to a spoiling effect more destructive to your cause.

Not sure what you mean?

Campaign within the Democratic Party for those positions- they already have a lot of support.

Have you used these tools for a complicated project? I’ve played around a little and it didn’t feel like turning off my brain at all, more like working with a genius drone and figuring out how to direct its skills to my ends and constantly evaluating the 10,000 foot view to edge the project forward.
