Uh, the PlayStation 2 would like a word?

What's the point of confusion?

It was at night, pretty common method of intimidation. It also could've been an unrelated shooting on the street though. Dunno if more info was found.

kerrigan778 ,

Just as soon as they figure out what it will be about.

Israel has zero expeditionary capability, that is not how military conflict works.

Most people have just two speakers, and if you have headphones a good stereo surround software can actually be even better than the surround from multichannel

Look, I get the joke you're making but seriously, people need to comprehend that the Geneva convention (even if we lump in the other treaties that often get confused with it) doesn't cover what civilians are and aren't allowed to do.

I and police for that matter can use tear gas pending local laws regardless of what the Geneva PROTOCOL says on the matter. Because I am not participating in a war in an official capacity.

A civilian doctor in another country might be tied by medical ethics codes he has agreed to but he is not tied by the Geneva Convention unless maybe if he is acting in an official capacity for the country and even then it would vary how international law would be applied because neither Hamas nor Palestine are signatories of that convention and likely Hamas soldiers are not fighting in uniform.

I am not casting a moral judgement on any of the above, I'm just tired of people not understanding what the Geneva Convention and the broader laws of warfare actually mean.

They started with an electric leaf blower as a baseline. Theirs is 40% quieter than the current electric leaf blowers on the market.

Good job not reading any part of the article and confidently announcing your completely incorrect take on things to everyone.

First case of highly pathogenic avian influenza transmitted from cow to human confirmed ( www.sciencedaily.com )

In March a farm worker who reported no contact with sick or dead birds, but who was in contact with dairy cattle, began showing symptoms in the eye and samples were collected by the regional health department to test for potential influenza A. Experts have now confirmed the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza...

You just picked a mammal with one of the most unique immune systems and one that is a completely different class of mammal of which very few exist tbf. Many diseases can only affect a very small handful of even quite related species though. There are diseases that affect some apes but not others.

I don't see how this is misuse, some people are just terrified of sex and nudity.

Secret Hamas Files Show How It Spied on Everyday Palestinians ( www.nytimes.com )

The Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has for years overseen a secret police force in Gaza that conducted surveillance on everyday Palestinians and built files on young people, journalists and those who questioned the government, according to intelligence officials and a trove of internal documents reviewed by The New York Times....

It just doesn't seem like the most relevant headline right now, "Hamas still also bad" is a bit water is wet.

That license would require chatgpt to provide attribution every time it used training data of anyone there and also would require every output using that training data to be placed under the same license. This would actually legally prevent anything chatgpt created even in part using this training data from being closed source. Assuming they obviously aren't planning on doing that this is massively shitting on the concept of licensing.

kerrigan778 ,

Ethically and logically it seems like output based on training data is clearly derivative work. Legally I suspect AI will continue to be the new powerful tool that enables corporations to shit on and exploit the works of countless people.

I know this is mostly a joke post but if a black bear (or any color man) attacks you the best move IS generally to fight back.

kerrigan778 ,

Yeah and black bears are skittish enough and small enough that you have a good chance of scaring it away or hurting it. A brown bear is just too big for you to have any use in fighting back, but luckily brown bears are territorial and most of the time they just want to scare you away or get rid of a rival, so play dead and they'll usually leave you unscathed enough to live.

Nope, black fight back, brown lay down is still the recommendation. Cover the back of your neck however you can and curl up and play dead.

kerrigan778 ,

Threatening use of nukes is a decent scare tactic to make the western bloc hesitant to get more involved. Actually doing it would virtually guarantee the hammer was dropped on them.

kerrigan778 ,

Oh that's what they did with the Active series, thank goodness I thought they'd stopped doing them.

kerrigan778 ,

🤦

kerrigan778 ,

As a Jew I have never felt less respected by Congress than them appropriating the concept of antisemitism to further their own oppressive political ends. Fuck it's so gross.

"Russia lauding torture was unthinkable"

Was it though... Was it really?
