So who has more incentive to lie, fiverr or OP?

There is a wild difference between asking people not to eat apples in December in the northern hemisphere and asking people not to move wealth around to avoid paying taxes when they have more resources available to them than multiple countr

Hey I've been wanting to get into home distilling for years but haven't found any good resources to start. Do you know of any books or other print resources that I should look at to learn what I need to learn before starting?

Reading a book is also relaxing in a way that reading on a screen is not. It just feels more, I don't know, laid back? I have no idea how to describe that.

How do you do that without ads? Every single service has ads, even on paid tiers. And sponsored content that is recommended regardless of my actual tastes. This is the reason I buy physical media, rip it to my home server and use Plex. No s

Can I not shop for other insurance companies? I specifically chose my provider because I know there's an office I can call to talk to my agent or his secretary. The moment I have to interact with a chatbot, I take my business to someon

My work computer is missing two keys and has been since they signed it out to me. I'm betting they don't notice if I file down the corners. Hell they probably wouldn't notice if I just cut the corners off with a fret saw. But

Images are interesting though. You can have a massive amount of images for only a few consumers. I would be interested in statistics related to the percent of adults who would be considered child predators. I have zero scope on how large th

I started cultivating dewberries and chokecherries because they're dying out near me. The chokecherries are good for like 2 weeks, otherwise they taste like soap. Dewberries are a real bitch to get started and don't produce a ton

So I used to raise giant bugs for fun. Millipedes and rhinoceros beetles mostly. Only get the rhinos if you want a HUGE FUCKING GRUB for two years and a super cool beetle for like 3 months. The grubs are gross and kind of a pain. You'l

What a weird perspective. Why do people collect anything?
192.
by Loughla 7mo ago
Garbage collectors where I live used to make $30-$35/hr starting wage. It was a good job and they always had applicants. Now they have the trucks that dump the bins without getting out of the truck. The driver's make $18/hr.

Hey do you have certain fonts that are better? I was working with a dyslexic student last week trying to find fonts that work better for his online classes. All the research pointed towards a handful that didn't seem to really improve

If you like trivia and British humor the podcast No Such Thing as a Fish is amazing.

They're the only ones that seem to want to fight the eagles. They're HYPER aggressive. I don't get it.

Bourbon is wildly popular? If this is meant as a joke I'm afraid I've missed it.

Bloodlust makes them taste better?

Yes but they are usually just the first ones to get eaten. So now we keep a jersey giant to scare off the coons, and a bantam something or other to scare off the hawks/eagles.

If not a fox, a raccoon can. Here's my fun everything likes to eat chickens story. When we first built our house, nobody had ever lived within about 2 miles of our farm. There were coyotes everywhere. So I spent a couple years trapping

I disagree. There are many other sites to buy anything you find on Amazon. If they raise prices and don't drop them, but other online retailers either don't increase or lower after they do, Amazon loses. People Google things they&

Yeah if I can add. The lack of anything for someone 18-24 years old there was kind of startling. There is zero incentive for youth to stay in that town other than family, I suppose. But the weird thing was, it was kind of a joke. Nobody too

Not them but I was legit impressed by the fiber coverage. They have towns of like 30 people with gig access, and all the roads between access points as well. It's kind of astonishing. Seeing their setup is actually what spurred me to p

From talking to people there, it seems like Quincy itself was less destroyed by politics and more just sort of left to rot by families with "important names" in the area who are resistant to change. No idea which is accurate, that

So I took a consulting job in a small town in Illinois called Quincy. I couldn't fly there without connecting in St. Louis, but I could take the train from Chicago. It was billed at 6 hours. It absolutely left on time but had to wait f

I mean, depending on the price, that might actually be a good idea? If they're restored, those old VW vans command a high price.

Just a fun fact. We're pretty close to the anniversary of the dust bowl. . . Which was driven by farming practices to raise monoculture crops. No purpose to this other than this is a very long term problem that, I believe, will bite us

That's because you need actual logic and thought to be able to decide when to be critical and when to agree. Chatbots can't do that. They can only predict what comes next statistically. So, I guess you're asking if the averag

And then it's up to the courts to decide. There's literally no difference between putting it in space and putting it in North Korea or some other country who won't extradite to the US or wherever. Except the massive cost. It

Why would the chatbot be liable instead of the person who instigated that process?

Dan Quayle lost a serious bid because he couldn't spell potato. Now look at where we're at. It really is wild. Right, wrong, or indifferent. How far we've shifted is absolutely wild.
