It's interesting that they leave things at 18-59. Do they later stratify into 18-28, 29-38, 39-48, 48-58?

One thing that I have found Duolingo helpful for is kana and kanji practice in Japanese. It's better than flashcards in that it also gives you stroke order.

AMH shows up in the fossil record 40K years ago. The seeds and nuts she discusses don't show up until the late neolithic. Modern hunter gatherers eat what they can catch and make up the rest with plants, but none of them are strict veg

I think the death penalty should be on the books, but the practical application of it is so unworkable that it should effectively never be administered. The biggest problem, of course, is that there's no way to make a wrongfully senten

One of the other things about Singapore is that they will bring the hammer down on you for abusing the public housing. If you pee in an elevator, the doors will shut and the police will come. Compare that to public housing in America...

2GB is really low. I've been able to use A111 stable diffusion on my old gaming laptop's 1060 (6GB VRAM) and it takes a little bit less than a minute to generate an image. You would probably need to try the --lowvram flag on start
