I wanted to try this in the image playground, but I was told I have to add a payment method. When adding this, I was told I would also have to pay a minimum of $5. Did this. Then when trying to generate an image, I was told I would have to

If they can control the angle of each leg with enough precision, that might be enough to compensate for (slightly) uneven terrain. I understand that the recently successful Blue Ghost has sensors to detect suitability of the landing spot, a

If you're alluding to immigration, this cannot be blamed for vandalism and littering. Other kinds of crime, arguably, but not those, there are plenty of middle class shitheads who will happily do their part.

They keep lowering the standards for acceptance into the military, because young people are becoming less and less fit. Just one link out of many (this is well known): https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/09&#x

Refined sugar is extremely concentrated compared to the natural sources. You need like 50 kilos of sugar cane to produce one kilo of refined sugar, and through multiple steps of heavy industrial processes. You could make a case for honey, b

You can process wheat into flour at home. You cannot process sugar cane into table sugar without an industrial plant.

Fasting increases growth hormone release (dramatically, in the case of extended fasting), which counters muscle loss. Does this happen with GLP-1?

The tone of the article is for some reason very dismissive and derisive of alternatives to plain dental hygiene. As you point out, if a simple supplement in the form of harmless bacteria could improve caries reduction by even a small amount

It's incredibly good - bravo. Only thing missing for this to be immediately useful for content creation, is more variety in voices, or ideally somehow specifying a template sound clip to imitate.

It's largely second generation immigrants (yes, mostly from Africa and the Middle East, since that's where most immigration - in the shape of refugees - comes from). And take it from someone who actually lives in the area (as oppo

I share your befuddlement. Eclipse is good and overall better than even paid proprietary IntelliJ. I think there is a lot of bandwagon jumping, especially with newish devs.

That is the general experience, I think. I did pretty strict keto for 2.5 years. Been off it for about a year now, while many of the habits stick (I eat next to zero added sugar, and generally low carb, less processed food, etc.). I got rid

That seems obvious, but then I considered for a moment how many (in-person) relationships are based on lies, illusions, and misunderstandings about the other person - often not discovered until years into the relationship. With AI, at least

Pretty good forward vision, better than I would have expected. Usuallly (non-predatory) birds turn their head to examine things. Maybe a curved screen would be one idea for better parrot UI.

You can write write code outside of methods in a Java class, called an initializer block: class MyClass { { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } This will run when an object of the class is instantiated.

Yeah, breaking up in-air during re-entry (at 65 km going by last telemetry) seems like a potential big issue to fix.

LOL. I avoided downvoting the OP because it did not mention any countries, and could easily be applied to any of the great powers, including the U.S. So it stands as a neutral argument for proliferation (ignoring the later clarification).
