Take 1% of what you would pay the CEO, and use it to purchase a literal scapegoat. Ceremonially sacrifice as needed, and inject remaining funds directly into the accounts of these investors.

I like that hypothesis.

I have another one. They are removing variables from the environment. Any unfixed object in a high position can potentially lead to a fall if they try to walk over it. It could also alert prey/predators if it falls at the wrong time. Better to get rid of it now and be sure it won't cause problems later.

Very similar situation for me. I've been diagnosed with chronic migraine. I always had it to some degree, but the last few years have been worse. The most consistent trigger is working more than about 6 hours in a day.

Back around 2008, I recall having problems because my Australian cards would be prompted for a 5-digit zip code. It only happened at gas stations for some reason. The closest we have is 4-digit postcodes, which it wouldn't accept. Eventually, I figured out I could prepend a 0, but I didn't want to trial-and-error that unless it set off a fraud flag with my bank. Probably a good thing it was pre-pay in the cases that didn't work.

I think that's more due to GPT's need to please, so if you ask it to make sense of something it will assume there is some underlying sense to it, rather than say it's unparsable gibberish.

They have the right idea with the theory, but there's some nuance in proper execution. If I learned anything from photography, it's that the best adjustments are barely on the edge of perception.

If you averaged the before and after examples (allowing that the "average" of colours is a complicated subject in itself), they would probably be pretty good.

It looks like it's treating the deer and wall as the same subject, averaging the texture, and applying it to both.

It's not about what they can do two years later. The job is a reward for services rendered while in government.

I don't believe that's the case for the orcas in the article. I used to live in Eden, and they have a legendary reputation there, going back well into pre-colonial history. Killing them would be sacrilege. That's not to say that some weren't killed, but not on that scale.

I can't think of any situations where a roundabout isn't preferable to a two way stop, if space allows for the installation. In my opinion they're often safer than traffic lights too, due to drivers feeling less need to beat the light changes.

In my Australian experience, yes we have a gender gap in earnings, but couples still tend to be from the same socioeconomic circles.

That would be great to see. Let the DOM focus on being a good Document Object Model.

That was about the time they removed the scale, right?

I assumed everyone can see visual noise too, based on my photography experience. Why wouldn't eyes get grain like film or a sensor does? I can see it under most conditions so maybe I just have higher ISO eyes than most people. It probably comes with my other neurodivergent sensory sensitivities.

Big subreddits are the worst for this. People will repeat poor quality comments they've seen upvoted in other posts because they know it will be upvoted by others who recognise it. Even though the original may have only been noticed because they got in early and confidently.

Great timing with this! My workplace does a charity pushup challenge every year, and I usually create a team for people looking for alternative exercises. I was considering yoga for this year and was just looking for resources to help provide daily customised sessions. 1 minute of yoga/stretching = 3 pushups or something like that.

This will really help fill the gaps, and I'll probably recommend it to people doing the regular pushup challenge for warmups and healthier workouts.

Not hunting, but it matches my experience with wildlife photography. I can spend hours carefully stalking animals because it feeds my dopamine imbalance. My distractions aren't random, because my brain is primed to respond to specific sounds and movements in my environment. Compare that to a sterile office where my mind wanders because that stimulation can't be found anywhere.

The import could have something to do with it. When I started using Spotify I used a playlist importer that included many false positives when it couldn't find a particular song. I ended up with a bunch of live David Bowie recordings that I've never heard in there, and now it still thinks I want to hear him every time I shuffle my liked songs. It could have chosen a worse artist, but I don't need to hear him every time.

I'm not in the US so rules are different here, but that's somewhat the situation for me as my mother's "landlord". My mum also insists on paying so she can feel at least some ownership in the property.

There are other factors. I make a loss on renting this property, which has to be reported for tax reasons. If I was charging below market rates it could raise flags. Because my mum also receives an allowance as full time carer for my aunt, it additionally allows them to also claim a bit in rent assistance.

This felt a bit off at first but I have confirmed it's all above board. Better than paying off someone else's mortgage. Most importantly, a few years ago my mum was homeless and my aunt had nobody willing to care for her. This way they have a secure roof over their heads so I have no regrets.

Then there's my brothers who have moved in rent-free while they get back on their feet after a rough patch. It's tough for a lot of people out there, so we have to do what works.

From my own experience, I have done it with and without the purge. It did feel like it accelerated the process, but not so much that it made a difference overall.

I have heard people claim that if you don't purge it doesn't count. It's the first thing they ask about another person's experience. That always felt a bit like Stockholm syndrome to me.

The most effective technique I have used is also the simplest. I came across it reading about how trauma affects the body. Under stress we tend to exhale more forcefully in short outward breaths, so when exhalation is quicker than inhalation the body responds accordingly. This means we can get a beneficial response if exhalation is longer than inhalation.

So the technique is to inhale at whatever pace feels comfortable, counting if that helps, and then exhale a little longer. It soon becomes natural enough that no counting is necessary and you can think about whatever pleasant associations work.

This is a common story for people with ADHD. If caffeine can be treated as a medication and you are mindful of timing and doses, I don't see why it shouldn't be an option.

Move Around, Rambling Quaintly Until Eventual Exit

Just be thankful they didn't go with "bigly".

When you need to do anything actually useful in these apps they typically send you to a browser anyway. Or worse, you have to do so yourself because you discover something isn't fully implemented in the app part way through using it.

Recently a coworker was struggling to change some personal details online and got stuck in a loop of no access due to multi-factor authentication. The phone helpdesk kept directing them back to the site to get stuck again. The solution? In this case the app's lack of support was a blessing. Personal details could be easily changed there because the app hadn't implemented multi-factor authentication.

People like to joke about all the native Australian animals that can kill you, but the animal I was most afraid of as a farm kid was the feral pigs. I saw photos of recently shot pigs that were too big to fit on the back of a ute, and often found small trees completely uprooted by them.

Fortunately the largest feral pigs I ever ran into were a litter and a small sow that preferred to scatter than stand their ground.

If I recall, is it about 50m where depth perception becomes useless? I imagine that would have a significant effect on instinctive shooting.

I'm in some hobby groups where the subject of tyres and tread patterns come up often. I swear it's spelled as "thread" there more often than not. I would understand some autocorrect, but it does seem like many people think that's the correct spelling.

My car tyre punctures have typically been the same culprits. I hope the clowns who like to spread tarred tacks on bicycle paths never clue into how effective they are.

Given the memes around dentists and expensive cycling gear, perhaps they should tap into that market too. Make it lighter and integrate it into a helmet. Display navigation and performance metrics on 3D graphs in the environment. Hazard detection. Then it's a toy that can really have a life outside work.

I'm mostly joking, but the more I imagine it the more I want one for my PEV helmet.
