We have more trees, yes, but we have fewer forests.
Forests are where the biodiversity is. Not monoculture straight-row tree farms.
And we’ve gotten rid of a lot of old growth forests before we came into renewable forestry. That’s partly why lumber these days isn’t as good (quality, in general) as it was 50 or 100 years ago.
And we’re still tearing down old forests. This time, it’s to grow soy to feed to cows.

I disagree with this.
I think most left leaning people don’t want no guns. We just want responsible gun ownership and issuance, at the bare minimum.
We recognize that guns, like hammers are tools. They have legitimate uses. The problem comes when people start seeing everything as a nail. Or they don’t properly secure them. Or they give them to people who lack the discipline to properly handle them.
Or, when people think that having the discipline and cognitive functionality to properly handle a tool that is easily capable of accidental or intentional death… shouldn’t matter.
I don’t own a gun. I don’t want a gun in my house or anywhere near me. I’ve had a history of depression and who knows when those thoughts will come back around. Or if my wife will have them. Or my kids. I don’t want an exit-button anywhere near me if that ever happens.
But if you want one? Cool for you. Keep it locked up when you aren’t using it.
You’d be delusional to think there wasn’t. Everybody was cooped up and stir crazy. Nobody was seeing friends, coworkers, teachers etc face-to-face. Ya know. People who would notice a black eye or a bruised arm. Possibly even mandatory reporters.
Not to mention that one of the first things most prenatal care centers will do (at least any decent one) is take the woman into another room, without her partner, and ask if they are safe. That doesn’t work so well over a telehealth appointment.
Abuse absolutely went up. The lowest estimates I’d seen were like 8%. Pregnant women can only fall down so many flights of stairs before fetuses start dying.
Hmm, I’m having trouble understanding the syntax of your statement.
Is it (People who use LLMs to write code incorrectly) (perceived their code to be more secure) (than code written by expert humans.)
Or is it (People who use LLMs to write code) (incorrectly perceived their code to be more secure) (than code written by expert humans.)
Coders are gonna get especially screwed by AI, compared to other industries that were disrupted by leaps in technology.
Look at auto assembly. Look at how many humans used to be involved in that process. Now a lot of the assembly is performed by robotics.
The real sad part is that there’s tons of investment (in terms of time and in terms of money) to become a skilled programmer. Any idiot can read a guide on Python and throw together some functional scripts, but programming isn’t just writing lines of code. That code comes from tons of experience, experiments, and trial and error.
At least auto workers had unions though. Coders don’t have that luxury. As a profession it really had its big boom at a time when people had long since been trained to be skeptical of them.
Very true. I used to think seat warmers and heated steering wheels were like…obscene-tier creature comforts.
Nah. They’re damn near necessities once you have it.
How does heat work in EVs?
In ICE cars it’s waste heat generated by the engine, carried via antifreeze to the heater core, which air then passes through. Basically, a radiator.
Where does the waste heat come from? Or is it resistive or a heat pump or something?
Assuming $3/gal, $50/week for 3 years is 40mpg. Averaging that is damn impressive for an ICE car.
Just saw somewhere else that you are driving a golf. TDI or gas? I’m not doubting you. That’s just impressive. I can get the mid or upper 30s on my 55mi one-way commute in my gas Passat…if I’m lucky enough to not hit traffic. But that takes me trying to drive for efficiency, and almost all highway. I’d be happy to average at 30.
Sounds good now, but we’ll just end up with bigger pickup trucks that have cowcatchers installed.
Sure is.
Same way that a 12 year old smoking isn’t illegal, providing a 12 year old with cigarettes is.
Prosecute the profiteers of the industry – the ones making significant money recording or distributing for profit. Not the ones keeping a copy of the 1s and 0s they found laying around somewhere in the internet.
Oh well when you say it like that, I’m even more confused.
Oh is that what they do? I had no idea. They used to be a customer at the last company I worked at. I always wondered what, exactly, they consulted.
It’s not illegal if you change the laws.
Worked for Adolf.
It’s from the theme song to the original Americas Funniest Home Videos. The one hosted by Bob Saget. Which I think aired in a primetime slot on ABC.
My client isn’t very good at showing context. What is this about? Biden or Swift?
Anyway…violent threats aren’t protected speech…
• The First Amendment does not protect violent or unlawful conduct, even if the person engaging in it intends to express an idea. United States v. O’Brien, 391 U.S. 367, 376 (1968).
• The First Amendment does not protect speech that incites imminent violence or lawlessness. Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444, 447 (1969).
And also a federal felony…
It is is felony under federal law to communicate a threat to injure or kidnap another person online, by phone or mail, or using other interstate channels. 18 U.S.C. § 875©
It is a felony under federal law to intentionally “solicit, command, induce, or otherwise endeavor to persuade” another person to engage in a crime of violence against a person or property. 18 U.S.C. § 373.

Well, it’s also an area just outside of Adventure Bay, where Mayor Humdinger, the arch nemesis of the Paw Patrol, resides.
Mayor Humdinger is outraged.
America. America. This is you.
Do you not understand the difference between criminal and civil?
This is like 4th grade social studies my man. Maybe you should go back.
Are they generating more power than they are spending by making the train go? Has Barcelona mastered perpetual motion??
It’s good thing, sure, but it’s no savior. The blurb makes it sound like it’s a net gain of energy, and that’s impossible. It’s not free energy. It’s just upcycled waste.
