A market economy cannot work with hoarding, the money needs to circulate.

The money is life. The money must flow.

Most people answer teacher, but the answer is that Paige is overwhelmingly more likely to be a farmer. Simply because there are orders of magnitude more farmers than teachers in the world.

But are there more farmers named Paige or teachers named Paige?

I can’t imagine Paige is a common name in many of the countries which still rely on subsistence farming, where farming will be a far more prevalent occupation. In the US, where Paige is a relatively common name, there are around twice as many teachers as farmers according to my very brief (and probably not super accurate) research.

Also I imagine that worldwide, farmers will skew male more than female. Just like how teachers probably skew more female than male. Note I didn’t bother to look for statistics for this, this is just a guess.

If you were to not name a person or gender and just say “is this person more likely to be a teacher or farmer,” then sure, farmer. But we’ve limited our base group of people to women named Paige. Surely that adjusts the probability.

Apparently he was hit by shattered glass from the teleprompter being shot, not grazed by a bullet.

(Not that I buy the conspiracy angle. I think it makes far more sense that we have a dangerously polarized society and a lot of seriously unhappy young men who don’t know what to do with their anger. That leads to violence.)

Coco is probably my favorite Pixar movie. My grandfather had Alzheimer’s and near the end he was largely unable to communicate but still knew how to sing and remembered words to songs.

When Mama Coco sings at the end it broke me. I cried harder than I’ve probably ever cried in my adult life. It felt incredible. I realized I hadn’t really ever mourned my grandfather, because his death was years of slowly fading away. Such a powerful catharsis.

What are you talking about, they never made a movie! Certainly not a terrible one!

Have you ever wondered why restaurants on or near mountain summits don’t offer pasta? That’s because while the cooking water up there is boiling, it is not hot enough to cook pasta.

I did not wonder this, because I’ve yet to eat at a summit restaurant, but that’s fascinating. Does this matter much in a town like Breckenridge (9600ft) or Aspen (8000ft), or does it only really become a factor once you get up to the summits?

Can a restaurant in Leadville, CO (elevation 10,158ft or 3,096m, highest incorporated city in the US) cook pasta? Or would it require an unappetizing amount of salt?

Does season make a difference? Like, the density altitude is surely lower in winter than it is in summer.

I have so many questions!

Edit: okay it sounds like you just have to boil it longer because the water isn’t as hot. It still cooks, just takes more time.

Independent is a terrible outlet.

That’s why Trent Crimm left.

DEI is just a slur now. It’s their new broad-stroke insult for anyone who isn’t a straight cis white man.

Consider the people who, after the ship hit the bridge, referred to “Baltimore’s DEI mayor.”

Let’s eat, Grandma!

Commas save lives.

Saying that the US isn’t a democracy because it’s a representative republic is like saying a shape isn’t a rectangle because it’s a square.

We aren’t a direct democracy. But in a representative republic power still stems from the people voting (ostensibly). Demoi (δῆμοι) meaning “peoples” and kratos (κράτος) meaning “power,” we get “democracy.” Power from the people.

Unfortunately the ones who say that about 2A are on the side of the nationalists.

An LLM can essentially reproduce a work, and the whole point is to generate derivative works. So by its very nature, it runs into copyright issues.

Derivative works are not copyright infringement. If LLMs are spitting out exact copies, or near-enough-to-exact copies, that’s one thing. But as you said, the whole point is to generate derivative works.

and one to be bound

I didn’t realize ALL the log cabin republicans were into that.
