Well yes, we're the richest country in the world, of course we import food, why wouldn't we? But we can easily feed our entire population off our own agricultural production, and well. Google leads me to this link. https:/&#

Full bore election denial with a side of naked hatred for the citizens of the United States? > I've been seeing a lot of the outright insane comments I've seen a few myself!

I would say that the most obvious definition of "win Presidential elections" is winning Presidential elections.

Aristocracy is not a Greek word. You're confusing it with the Greek word aristocracy. Hope that helps.

What real food are you thinking of exactly? I look in my refrigerator and I see a couple cheeses from Europe, butter from Ireland (and from the USA), a Belgian beer I still have around, and food from the US. We are, as a nation, completely

So you're saying that President Trump can appoint as many Supreme Court justices as he would like to in January?

Ok but I believe the topic is Donald Trump who has been directly, repeatedly, relentlessly, compared to Adolph Hitler, and he and his supporters slandered as Nazis. Specifically. Directly, relentlessly, repeatedly. So perhaps this: >

Biden is sunsetting a bit, but is he "put on a MAGA hat, bust out a big smile, and give a thumbs up for the camera" sunsetting? Did Jill Biden wear a red dress to the polls on accident? Do we credit the idea that she, the First La

This is information-theoretically guaranteed to make LLM output worse. My reasoning is simple: the only way to watermark text is to inject some relatively low-entropy signal into it, which can be detected later. This has to a) work for &qu

I know right? Adding two buttons to the iPhone, an HDMI port and SD slot to the MBP, putting the function key buttons back, when will it end?!

I wrote substantial amounts of C, and Pascal/Delphi before that, before learning Zig, so you and I wouldn't see the same learning curve. That said, I found it straightforward to take up. Andrew Kelly places a great emphasis on s

There are no problems caused by using unary delimiters for strings, because using paired delimiters for strings doesn't solve the problems unary delimiters create. By nature, strings contain arbitrary text. Paired delimiters have one v

It doesn't appear that I am. All I meant to add is that if Apple turns Pixelmator into a "cursed subscription zombie" (and I very much doubt this will happen) then I will not be getting that subscription. I expect most peopl

For me personally, Pixelmator is absolutely a product I just fire up once in a great while. I bought it anyway because when I need it, I need it. But there's no way I would let a program like that deflate my bank account like a prick
