Well then, I'd say whenever the wind is blowing into a red state, then someone on the blue state side should unleash a non-toxic yet horrible smelling aerosol into the air and let it blow in for the red staters to enjoy, since it's now perfectly legal. /s

Really wonderful news, but this definitely isn't the time to rest or say "mission accomplished". Gotta get that population back up. Hopefully the volcanic unrest at Campi Flegrei won't endanger them.

At least until Trump orders the national guard to gun them down. With his increasingly violent rhetoric, words like "bloodbath", I fear he's itching to give such an order.

Eeesh, I wake up, take a look here, and find a metric ton of verbal brawls. I'm going back to bed.

A C-Suite suit probably made a cost cutting decision to do so in order to fatten his bonus.

For me, I’m curious, but I just bought a new MacBook. I’m not interested in buying a wearable laptop right now.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it "stupid" and judge it as trash before it's even released. But it better be as capable as a MacBook pro. If it's a computer "with an extremely expensive monitor" then it could be useful. But it could easily become a $1k monitor stand.

With message exchanges relevant to the contract using a Paypal message exchange, which would make it available to the arbitrator. And the loser of the arbitration would be on the hook for paying for the arbitration. And arbitration beginning only if the review of these messages deem it a case.

I always felt like there really needs to be some sort of escrow service provided by Paypal. This way the purchaser puts the money up front, but releases it all-at-once/peacemeal in accordance to a contract. With Paypal providing arbitration services if there is a dispute.

I think the idea that our pattern dissipates into entropy on death scares them. It's a lot more comforting to think that your pattern (consciousness) will endure, after life has ended, in some shape or form.

A house is also so easy to lose too. Just being out of a job for a few months can get it taken away from you. Or catastrophic medical. And at the end of life, the nursing home is just going to take it away anyways.

Little confused on the entry for the vtubing foxes -- they're all $28, are they all the same? I don't have the ability to facetrack yet but mindful of it for the future.

Unfortunately I still have about 3 pages left (plus a ton of coloring lol) before I can call this "done", so I'm going to miss my Halloween deadline, but I still wanted to post something.

You can read the first few pages here:

Yep, same, or they're people that I half expect to just go on a rant, so I just don't bother. I've looked through my list of contacts, and pretty much realize that everyone who I safely think to ask who would be interested, are already here.

Hey, question! I was fixing to get this year's vaccine scheduled, and the only one currently available in my area is the Moderna vaccine. All my previous ones are Pfeizer. Should I wait to see when that's available, or should I just go with the Moderna that's available next week?

Might be best to put in one's bio or pinned post (whenever that is a capability here) stating that permission to use any posted art for the purposes of feeding into an AI is explicitly prohibited. At least that way they can't go the route of "better to ask for forgiveness than permission".

So what are some of the best differences between 2019 and 2022? API and engine-wise? Can we expect new capabilities to be added to the SDK once it's on 2022?
