Kind of, yes. But also the actual person people are normally talking to when they think the OF girl is responding. Also, sending the messages to the subscribers with new pics.

I don’t know why people have downvoted you when what you said was probably the most accurate on here. I would also add that the Alaska brand has seaweed emulsion that works as an amazing fertilizer as well. I normally rotate through fish, seaweed, and a low level synthetic (10-10-10).

As your tab is auto charged to your biometrics and the bartender points to the door you decide to get the last words in-

“If something is verifiable sentient then I might change my tune, until then robots can fuck off!”

Another patron gasps at your lashing out, “did he just use the R-word? I’m so sorry bartender that you have to hear that. Just remember -not all humans.”

The bouncer approaches you and starts to corral you to the door. “Sir, it’s time for you to go”

You finish off your final rant from the doorway, “Robotic life will still be a rape baby foisted onto us by corporate technocrats!”

The door is closed on you. Inside, the bartender’s emotion chip glows, nearing short circuit. The other patron consoles them and tells them, “if you need to take a minute and collect your emotions, I understand. It is a long and hard road to equality.”

I immediately imagine a scenario 100 years in the future with you in a bar, slightly drunk and provoked by the young’ns to get the old man to rant against the Silicos.

One of the patrons overhears your offensively biocentric rant and asks you to check you DNA privilege and to stop using life exclusive language and to consider the feeling of silico-life forms and their struggles for equality.

You then mock them with a silver-face impression “SoRrY, cOuLd NoT cOmPuTe” while doing robot arms.

The bar tender, who is a synthetic, is on the verge of tears and asks you to leave…

I would rather my tax dollars don’t go to government investments of ripping Pokémon boosters and magic cards. The military would also balloon more than it already has.

Fuuuuuuck yes. It’s up there with all the other ones every one is saying “one of the best ever” the only difference is that no one ever talks about this one. The first 3 or so episodes are a little hard because they were made at peak GoT times and needed to ‘out Got the GoT’ and put in extra sex, violence, and bullshit that was superfluous to the story. But after that, it was pure gold. It needed one more season to finish the story. Two if they wanted to finish ot without rushing.

Oddly, yes.

Percentages also add together in partials. As in 10%+5%+2% = 17%

So, you start with the 10% by moving the decimal over 83.27 becomes 8.327

Then add half of that (5%) to its self and get 12.49 (rounded)

Then take the 10% number and move the decimal over once more (1%) for 0.833 and double it (from 1% to 2%) and get 1.666 and add that to your running total to get your answer of 14.16 (rounding)

And when I calculator check this I got 14.1559.

Because of our American exceptionalism we forgot we were a part OF the americas. So now we are THE USA. Hope that helps.

Looks like a ‘shirts vs skins’ game of ‘dont catch the cancer’. Bad news for the skins team if the don’t have sunscreen on! (Who are we kidding, we know they dont…)

For me it was people shitting on TRON:Legacy. I saw it opening weekend in 3D by myself. Fucking loved it. Saw it a second time the following weekend with my gf at the time. She was indifferent to it. I still loved it. Then other people would bash it and even The Big Bang Theory jumped on the tron bashing bandwagon. As far as I care, everyone else is wrong, that movie was amazing for a reboot.

In science the masculine form is the default.

Are you anti-science??

3 of the 4 panels are on topic, the smoking one I would say doesn’t belong. The topic is about labor exploitation. Slave labor was cheap brute force labor. Then it was banned. So people pushed for more child labor (not that it didn’t exist in parallel to slave labor, just not as utilized). Once child labor was banned from being the dominant labor exploitation there was also the rise of things like company script and company towns. Also banned. For the past few decades we have lived through globalism as the main method of exploitation, pushing for remote jobs filled from cheap labor countries and shipping factories overseas. Now we have AI. And we are seeing that for specific tasks it can be exploited for cheaper labor. Humanity will always find ways of exploiting cheap labor.

In 100 years this will be about cloning slaves and arguing that they aren’t real people. Capitalists will control the cloning farms and use the clones as exploitable labor. And in a short time after the exploitation of clones, they will argue that it is already here and there is no point in stopping it.

Alternatively: We can remember for you, whole-Dick

Disagree. You and so many others throw around the word communism as if it is a specific type, rather than a general type. Not only that, communism and capitalism as not mutually exclusive. We have communism in capitalist societies and there was capitalism inside the USSR’s communism.

We have fully functioning communes within the USA. Those are communists living happily inside a communist community, with communist leadership, and communist ideals, all as a sub community within normal American cities. And it is successful.

The US has communism/socialism even within its own government. We have communist firefighters. There was a time all fire brigades were private and sold memberships and private insurance. It was communism that made it a public service. Even the socialist healthcare in the military was not always that way. Up until the Civil War it was private healthcare and the medics were for the battlefield only. All after care was out of pocket. Even for a time after the Civil War large amounts were not covered by the military.

And even looking at the previous poster’s comment about not seeing true communism- that is a category- are they referring to Lennonist communism? Maoist? Marxist? It’s like saying all capitalist governments are the same, as if the EU and the US, and Nigeria are all the same types of government.

Grocery store basil normally has about 3 plants (like the other person is saying). For best success, buy the SMALLEST plans, and un pot them when you get home. Shake them apart, but be carefull with the roots. A few broken minor roots is OK, but try not to break the major roots. Then plant them separately into their own pots. When watering, do not water from the top. Get a pot with multiple drain hole at the bottom edges (not the singular center hole kind) and place it in a watering saucer. Fill the saucer and let the soil wick up the water. This makes it easy to see when it needs water and makes it basically impossible to over or under water, just keep the saucer fill. Try to keep the plants in a warm and humid place if possible.

If you do it right, it ends up being easier to maintain and grows larger plants. If you want to look into how to grow the biggest basil plants then look into the pruning techniques to encourage growth. I have grown some monster basil bushes and they all started from grocery store plants unless I wanted a specific type.

Not sure. I have typically just done a Google search and refound the link under the same domain but with a different sub routing.

I have a wiki editor account primarily for updating links on pages. I have also done a handful of minor edits on some obscure pages in my field, but primarily use it to update links and references. Link rot is the worst and I wish more people would help out with it.

An encyclopedia is not a source. I don’t think you fully grasp what any academic paper’s source is. It must be a first-hand account or direct evidence. It is the research paper you mention, not the wiki article the paper was mentioned on. The problem isn’t teachers afraid of technology. You can’t use print versions of encyclopedia Britannica as a source either. Part of education is also knowing how follow academic rigor. Remembering and understanding are only the first two steps in the process. Applying (writing the paper) is the third step. But if you fail to understand primary sources and how to conduct academic research, then you will never be able to truly progress beyond that (leading to: analyze, evaluate, and create)
