My partner and I got one each. She stopped using hers so now I have one on charge all the time.

Also! If your charging base contact pins get sticky and corroded, a spray of WD-40 and some light poking fixes them right up, and seems to delay further issues.

Fish is not a real classification.

I do believe that is confirmed canon.

You can also just meet her where she is. The big strength of polyamory is that you don’t need one partner who can fulfil all your needs.

What you have with Sylvia might be referred to as a “comet relationship”. They come around once every now and then, burns hot and bright for a short time and then they leave for a while.

It’s not bad or good, it just is.

IMO it’s because they are pissed off. And the longer it takes for justice, the more pissed off they get.

Couple that with Congress ordering the release of all the documents, then the justice department dragging its feet. Everything the us government does that isn’t just releasing the docs is seen as a distraction. Delay until people forget or stop caring, so to counter that people refuse to stop talking about the files, to keep them in the conversation.

I don’t think AGI is fake, conceptually. Humans are just meat-based computers. Eventually we will build something of comparable power and efficiency.

However, LLMs don’t seem like a viable path to AGI imo.

One thing; the power connector from the enclosure to the RAK node had its polarity inverted, a little lovin’ with a small screwdriver or similar lets you flip it.

I’ve started using this one:

With 4 of these (from a pack of 6):

And this RAK node (Type 6):

So far it’s been working out well! Even when placed inside on the second floor looking out a north facing window, the battery has been kept above 90% and the reception seems pretty good!

Queer roommate Anola Gay.

You did the right thing, the person was angry with no real outlet for it, so their brain found someone to blame to release that tension. They were not thinking rationally and attempts to argue would have been stonewalled and probably would have escalated things.

This is not a justification for their behaviour, it was despicable and wrong. More so my opinion of why anything other than what you did was correct.

I’m really sorry.

Acronyms vs Initialisms

No one is going to try pronounce Fbi, it’s awkward.

There are terms that bridge the Acronym/Initialism divide. SQL-Sequel, URL-Earl and GUI-Gooey are some that come up fairly regularly in my line of work.

The bottom line is; Language is used to communicate concepts. We are lazy and do it as efficiently as we can get away with. The rules have changed a LOT to get us where we are today. It would be blind hubris to think the change will stop just because we don’t like it.

My partner has been very bullish on India’s economy in the future. I think the EU is proving her right.

I dunno man.

Company: Here’s a change.

Users: This sucks!

Company: Ok, let’s roll that back.

If the company were Apple, the change would stick. If it were Microsoft, the change would be rolled back for 2 weeks and then quietly re added.

No to self defence. You learning self defence will only provoke a stronger response from the guys who will go up to and beyond killing you, and may call in actual military support if required.

Civil disobedience feels like a better approach. Forming human walls, information networks and rapid support responses slow and mitigate attacks on your community.

Applying pressure to your representatives also can help.

I was looking for something about sharing antibodies or something to do with disease resistance, but it’s not listed in the article

Neat!

Blender and FreeCAD.

Blender for organic, sculpted shapes.

FreeCAD for parametric, accurate parts.

Getting real tired of the “boycott Mozilla! They take money from Google!” And “boycott Mozilla! They try to make money from their users!” Merry-go-round.

The fact it happened at the same z location twice is telling.

Try a slim vase-mode print that reaches past that height and see if it happens again.

I’m nearly 40 and the world they are facing is so different to what I experienced that I don’t know if any advice I could give would even make sense.

Don’t suffer fools, I guess. Life is too short to put up with people who don’t, won’t or can’t respect you. You don’t have to make it a big deal, in fact that might be the wrong move if you’re dealing with a narcissist. Instead become uninteresting when interacting with them. The Grey Rock technique.
