This could be complete bullshit because im not an expert but i sometimes think that we could have a future where without testing and nurturing peoples critical thinking skills we end up with people who dont know how to create a rational argument or assess information they are given for its accuracy and authenticity, or to know when they are being deceived by malicious actors.

English writing assignments as simple as a book report require you to take different views and angles on something to understand it better and the nuances of the whole, but tell a LLM to write it for you and you are not developing that part of your own mind where you may learn to do things like see the whole story above the individual events noise, see things from others perspective/feelings and understand alternate world views. These are critical for having empathy for others and understanding the world around you.
And that is just one small example i came up with.

I bet they wont ban it. Seriously, 1 goat they dont do it.

Ah, my old oven did that trick with the clock.
Even better is that it was a strange brand and didnt have an easily findable online manual, the only way to set the date was to first push the ‘alarm set’ and ‘alarm cancel’ buttons at the same time, then use the + & - buttons to change the time.

Yes, it makes logistics a nightmare doing the maths.
Its basically a class of truck that is for moving the biggest loads, like road trains (truck&+ trailers) or moving giant mining dump trucks,dozers,etc.

In one version of the transformers series optimus prime is actually a prime mover too

Fair enough, but it also spins me out when americans call prime-mover trucks ‘tractor trailers’

I dont know the actual justification behind it but i would say:

1. The Liberal party here love protecting business interests and giving pretrochem companies huge incentives, tax breaks, etc to take our resources and they probably get hard for how much more fuel they can sell here.
2. Australia has inexplicably bad fuel standards, as such car manufacturers dump their shittest engines here which run on this low grade fuel and every time we talk about reforming this the manufacturors run a scare campaign about how much extra cars will cost if they have to meet these standards and the Libs have been jumping on that.

As to the big cars thing, we have typically had quite regular sized cars and our typical tradesperson vehicles (called “Ute’s” here, “trucks” in the USA) were significatly smaller than their american equivilants, but local manufacturing shut down and now we buy from whats available on the market. Also the laws around taxing work vehicles is worded in such a way that bigger cars get taxed differently and incentivises people buying these cars and slowly our car sizes are increasing and more and more giant ‘Yank Tanks’ are appearing on our roads. And couple this with car manufacturers slowly changing the publics idea of what a ‘family car’ is from a large sedan to a small suv to a full blown suv or 4x4 7 person tank.

May i reccomend skipping the middle man and buying a loaf of crusty bread?

Im pretty sure a lot of these tracking widgets are invisible/zero size/offscreen too, so its not just a ‘click here to share’ button but purely a User_ID36ax48dd99y42s52l840a2648 visited this site at 15:37:23 on 20250405 and looked at X.

Exactly. Animorphs.

Wait, that jackass’s second name is Donald and he isnt claiming that for extra MAGA cred?

The song is ‘Happiness by the kilowatt’ by Alexisonfire.

After like an hour of foreplay, right?
…

Right?

August burns red
The devil wears prada
Underoath
Silent planet
Texas in july
Wolves at the gate
Memphis may fire (some lyrics are cringey though)

We put chilli jam on our cheese & crackers, especially good combo is: cracker+cheese+slice cabanossi/salami/etc+slice of gerkin+chilli jam dollop.

12321 feels like a gentle hill to me

“Not sure which 3D printer to buy? Get a Voron you Moron!”

All signs point to yes

Bullshittery aside, “HP Inc.” Instead of just “HP” Is on the nose and has to be deliberate on the journalists behalf

I second this, if you are unsure of what direction to take, get a job that is easy. Something simple like grocery store, deli, etc. If you have the intelligence for higher education you will excell at simple jobs, get in a groove doing your daily taks and you will probably get promoted through the ranks while you figure out what direction you want to take in life.
If i lost my job tomorrow (professional technical career) i would seriously consider becoming barista and living stress free for a while and not rush to figure out my ‘next move’.
