"you're right! Looking at the news it is false that ice is only deporting American citizens!What I meant to say is that ice is only deporting American citizens!"Those who know, know.

I feel like YouTube gave them a lot of good boy points recently because I don't watch rlm other than plinkett reviews but since January it's just ended up auto playing for hours.

I agree that the olmecs are one of the world civilizations worth paying close attention to. The Spanish really did humanity an injustice burning all the books, it would have been nice to have archeologists have access to all the Aztec writings too.A non-tourist look at American pre-columbian civilizations is very interesting in part because it shows parallel diverging development, but one that still had constraints and often butted up against them.The constraints that ended the olmecs are warnings to us today not just because we do follow them but because we could follow them and so the experiment has already been run, but most people won't listen.Tourists of course will invoke debunked noble savage models that justify revolutionary erasure of our own traditions, but have little resemblance to the real history.

"your woman" by white town is a song from 1997 that samples a much earlier song called "my woman" by al bowlly.Another song that samples the same original has been on the radio, but it just made me want to hear that 1997 song but I couldn't remember the name so now I'm sharing it with you.

It's like, do they think that if you were to go to a communist country and pull a gun on a cop or try to run one over with a car that you're going to come out of it better off? Because rather than a single officer acting in self-defense and having it be a big incident that draws intense scrutiny, in a lot of these countries your entire family would face some form of punishment of some sort.

Really, if the right was smarter about this, they'd focus on the reality that the rioters are in fact acting as pawns for a dominant elite faction, and if they ever came within a country mile of successfully achieving something like revolution, they'd be Jan 6th so fast it'd make your head spin.Useful idiots, and I bet more than a few of them could be driven off if it becomes clear it's not a revolution, even if legally it's an insurrection.

But of a shower thought: in the pilot episode of Star Trek the next generation, McCoy shows up briefly, and he wanted to take a shuttle craft because he didn't trust the transporter. Whoever he was with told him that transporters were safe, but how many transporter accidents showed up in TNG?

Imagine for a second, asking Google Gemini what is 1+1. You light up internet architecture spanning thousands of miles to a data center where you activate hundreds of gigabytes of memory, activate multiple top end GPUs, utilize non trivial pumping and water taken from a nearby river, and it responds back"Hi, I'm Gemini, the helpful AI assistant. I'm afraid I don't know how to do that yet."

https://youtube.com/shorts/l0Hqp7Y6EooI made the comparison of law enforcement to a black bear.Where I live, it's relatively routine to see black bears. As long as you do all the right things come on as long as you follow the rules of being around black bears, you're going to really have an uneventful time. Act big, make lots of noise, keep your distance, me absolutely sure to never get in between a bear and her cub.Again, as long as you follow the rules you'll probably get to see a hundred bears and never have any problem. But if you don't follow the rules, that bear is bigger than you, it's stronger than you, it's faster than you, and it doesn't need fancy tools like a gun to kill you. It has big teeth, it has big claws, and even without those and has strength that is considerably greater than most of the strongest human beings on Earth. Fuck up, and you're just dead. Same way with cops. There's a bunch of rules to interacting with cops. Don't mind your sudden moves. Don't run them over with your car. Don't pull out your gun. If you follow the rules, you can get away with a surprising amount around cops and still make it out of the interaction one hundred times out of 100.Now people can argue that it's unfair that you should have to change the way you behave just because there's a black bear there, and maybe you're right, but if you have your right in one hand and you're dead in the other, guess which hand stops mattering?

I moved to Ottawa for 6 months one time, and even moving from the sticks out to ottawa, it was so much wetter in winter, it would chill you right to the Bone for no good reason, because it sure as hell wasn't cold.

Even when Martin Luther nailed his criticisms to the church, he was aiming at a constrained and conservative form of Christianity rather than a liberating one.

I finally had to replace the filament holder I printed on my delta kossel (shown in gray) and replaced it with something printed on my Tevo Tornado. Took the chance to make it much wider, and after a failed print of a previous revision I took out a lot of fancy design elements which made it flimsier, and printed it on its side which made it far more robust but also easier to print on a big bed printer like the tornado. I also flipped the orientation.

In terms of new kids shows that I just don't think have a culture war angle, I've had no problems with hot wheels: let's race. I'm thinking it might be related to the fact that Hot Wheels has never been this sort of franchise that you go to if you are trying to achieve power. It's a franchise about cool looking cars. I found that in spite of the fact that there are things that if you wanted to nitpick you could complain about the diversity, but same sort of diversity that you would have seen from an '80s cartoon so who cares, it's just a dumb cartoon for trying to sell toys kids and I'm here for it.Honestly, trying to sell toys is not a bad thing. I want to buy toys for my son. And the best thing would Hot Wheels is that they're cheap -- you can get them at the dollar store for two bucks, and that's not two freedom dollars, that's two canuckistani kopecs. I bought the game associated with the series on pc, and it's fantastic, I can hand the controller to my son, and he can basically play with one button because it has Auto steering and auto acceleration.

I'm not sure that the data necessarily bears that out.Ontario is largely nuclear, and prices are higher than in Manitoba and Quebec which are largely hydroelectric.
