Am I alone in actually kinda… liking Google’s AI search results? I mean, I don’t exactly trust it, so if it’s something important I will always drill down to the actual search results to verify the answer, but as long as it’s clearly la

> No, the whole reason "Director's Cuts" exists is that those represent the cut the director wanted, not the theatrical cut released by the studio (which is driven by the studio's or producer's wants). Again, t

That is understating the facts by quite a bit. The editor will usually do an initial cut without the director, but once the director is involved in editing the two of them work very closely, often sitting in editorial together making the ch

Preventing drowning doesn’t require you to check every food item for bodies of water for the rest of your life, nor trusting everybody else in your kid’s school not to bring a swimming pool for lunch.

The same way you avoid exposure to anything. Stay home, don’t go near sick people, etc. The point is that in the event that you are somehow exposed, it’s better to be vaccinated than not. I wouldn’t tell you to not trust the advice of you

I mean, avoidance is more effective than vaccination in preventing you from getting the flu, but that’s not the point of getting vaccinated.

It turns out if you run SQLiteFS on SQLiteFS, performance increases exponentially, and as the number of SQLiteFS layers increases, seek and read times asymptotically approach zero. In other words, this is the world’s first O(0) file system.

Perhaps, but the problem with UBI being, well, universal is that everyone gets it, including those that the working poor buy from. All of a sudden the suppliers see the purchasers having more money, and they have more money themselves, so w

What I object to is the call for such programs under the guise of them being something other than what they are. If UBI is just welfare, why not just call it that?

by zoky 2y ago
Unfortunately, this thinking is predicated on the idea that those at the very lowest tier of society would participate given the opportunity. To be clear, this is not about the working poor. I don’t think this would ultimately help them.

If it’s funded by a flat tax, then yes, but then what’s the point? Seems like nothing more than a shell game. If it’s funded by a progressive tax, then how is it anything more than a tax increase combined with increased welfare? Either way,

by zoky 2y ago
No, what you’re describing is a “take from the rich and give to the poor” welfare program. The idea behind UBI is that everyone gets the same amount regardless of what they otherwise make. If those who make more are taxed more, and thus ult

Am I? I don’t think so. Please describe for me a situation where the simple possession of money, absent any potential for that money to flow, causes work to happen. If you can, you’ve described nothing less than perpetual motion.

by zoky 2y ago
The thing I’ve never understood about UBI is how it wouldn’t immediately be counteracted by inflation. Money is like water or electricity; its only ability to do work is when it flows. Just like a water wheel can’t do any work without a riv

Appreciate the recommendation, and CGRP blockers will be my next line of attack should my current regimen prove insufficient. For now, my headaches seem to be pretty well controlled by verapamil as a preventative and oxygen/sumatriptan

In my case, insurance wouldn’t cover O2 either (actually, I didn’t bother trying), but I had no problem paying cash for a tank with a doctor’s prescription. The up front cost was kinda high, but refills are fairly cheap. Don’t look for a me

Hello, fellow clusterhead! I trust you’ve tried the usual treatments—Verapamil as a preventative, and 100% oxygen 10-15 L/min combined with injected Sumatriptan as an an abortive. I’ve gone from reducing my cluster periods from once a

If you can settle for 269.99 degrees (270 exactly seems to mess up the formatting of the page) the price goes into the negative hundreds of millions of dollars and you can make some serious bank building cutting boards.

So, what, you’re just complaining about an easily solvable problem that ultimately comes down to not everybody agreeing with your personal preference? Don’t you have, like, a cloud you should be yelling at? You could have just said, “I don’
