This 🧵 is long so please bear with me. It is compiles evidence in a historical timeline on how effective #COVIDVaccines are. When a pandemic ends we quickly and easily forget the tools that got us out of it. So here is my labour day gift to you prompted by this headline.
They're staunchly pro immigration. It's something I didn't understand at first either since we usually associate libertarians with conservatives. But, cato is more on the open borders economic libertarian side of the spectrum. www.cato.org/blog/reducin... www.cato.org/policy-analy...

infuriating. I know a bunch of cons follow me. don't do this. AI has already stolen the work of hard working and passionate artists with real heart and pov. the artist's potential to make $$ in these convention spaces is more vital than ever. fuck off with this.

Wouldn't it depend on the state? I know most states I've been in have a "stop and identify" thing where you HAVE to at least give your name if they ask. Don't have to show ID, but still say who you are. And, of course, bad idea to lie as that's perjury.

Cracker Barrel has rebranded for the first time since 1977
A recent Florida Supreme Court ruling has created a paradoxical burden for proving the state voting map illegally diminishes minority voting power. Now, challengers must show they can draw a replacement district without race being the predominant factor.
I'd also say that companies fail at adopting new technologies that were sold to clueless execs and managers after tech workers hit the limits of those promises.
I honestly thought you were making a joke, but nope, that's ACTUALLY in there. Fucking wild. I wonder which of the members of the workgroup came up with this little "theory". Good money at least some of the cops, maybe some of the instructors? I don't know a sig sauer rep would do that publicly.

That whole exchange has multiple layers of pathetic. Altman is replying to Musk about Musk's claim that he's also gaming the App Store as they're #1. And there's a community note under Musk's claim saying that isn't even true. Just pathetic little manchildren running to mommy screaming "unfwair".
I think it's just a simple case of "There is no such thing as bad publicity". Just like how that dipshit Tapper is basically saying he knows he's right because of how big the backlash to his book was, here it's "Well, even negative discourse is still discourse. Think of the engagement!"
Reporter: Here’s that article, chief! Editor: Great! We’re gonna slap a clickbait headline on this baby that is *insane.* People are gonna want to *kill* you! Reporter: (sigh) Well, I guess it’s worth it if they read it. Editor: Haha, don’t worry, they won’t. Here, let me throw that away for you.

Of course, you NEED an good, accurate, temp probe to be absolutely sure. One trick I've used with long smokes is starting in the smoker and finishing in the instant pot. You only get that smoke flavor/smell in the first two hours, and you can get the tenderness in a pressure cooker faster/easier.
Ribs are the absolute easiest. You put them in and let them go for that amount of time. Boston butt and brisket are in that weird area of "seems easy, but is actually a lot of work" as they take FOREVER. Depending on thickness, you're probably looking at 10 - 12 hours easy.
Huh, I thought it was Tron or Flight of the Navigator. But I guess navigator had first use of relection mapping. And there's an argument that Vertigo used the first cgi in film in the opening credits. littlebitsofgaming.com/2022/09/09/w...

I'd heard this fact a while back, and when you read the science research behind it you understand why. But, humans are one of the best endurance running animals on the planet. So it makes sense they can beat horses at long distance runs. www.ucdavis.edu/blog/humans-...
One thing I learned a little while ago while researching this is that the majority of "safes" on the market aren't safes, they're residential security containers (RSC). RSC have much lower standards than containers that are actually "safes" using higher ratings.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

I don't know if they back off, if those other times happened but then reversed, or they announce it to try and pump some crypto. It's to the point where if China announces this it just means it's another day of the week.
Unfortunately, China does this all the time. This happens a lot. I can't even keep track of the amount of times I've read a headline where China banned mining and trading crypto. I'm sure it's been announced even more times than I've read it.
Are the colors blue = jobs higher than estimated, and red = jobs lower than estimated? If so, what's up with the one blue one at the end of 2020 that shows lower than estimated? Or, am I misreading the graph?

At that response the interviewer just turns their head sideways, like a confused dog. The interviewee just sighs and says "AI. That's what you want me to say for the isolated quote, right?"
Regardless, that's 55% of voter turnout, not "of men", i.e. your implication being 66% of men in the country. If you look at the line under the title it's "percentage of validated voters", not total percentage of people in the country that voted.
I should know better since you're already doubling down when wrong. But, source? Because even if your claim of "men that voted for this" in the sense of just looking at the table of men and vote share is wrong.
There wasn't even 66% voter turnout, much less having that percentage of men voting for him. Stop conflating the percentage of groups within voter turnout with the amount of people in the US that voted for something.
Pretty much. Private Equity-ass CEO.

Well, the point is if the towering intellectuals at The Atlantic are being told to do Bad Things because they asked for that from a machine that'll agree with whatever you say, what hope is there for the slobbering masses?

I should probably stop being lazy and just replace Android with GrapheneOS or something similar.
Regardless of whether you agree to those terms, allow Gemini to be installed, or whether you have Gemini Apps Activity on or off. It's not even clear if you CAN remove Gemini. arstechnica.com/security/202...
Interesting that they seem to not activate it just because you don't agree to the TOS. I do wonder if they actually "disable" it though, considering all of tech is stuffing AI into every part of their infrastructure. I haven't updated to Android 16 because Google's Gemini gets shoved into all apps.
He's still auditioning for his job back at CNN.

The other day I drew a subway-style map for The Hobbit, and it was very well received. Some of you asked if I could do one for LoTR, so I have! Forgive the eel watermark; I'm working on making these something you can buy, if you like.
I have to say most of the time you can look at post history and just tell it's a troll. But, you're right, I don't think there's an easy answer here. This is truly Poe's law in effect.
