Crunch uses scammy tactics to stop you from canceling. They lied to me twice to my face. Tried to charge me a fee too on cancel. Can also only cancel in person at the original signup gym. Pick a better business to deserve your money.

Neither of these topics should even be drawing media attention, considering how frequent and non-notable they are. They just report on this stuff every day because it's cheaper and easier than exclusively finding and reporting on real notable local news, and television news needs filler content for selling ad spots. Ever had a day where there was no news, and they ended early?

It's not "learning" anything. It's a computer program outputting text it was modelled to output.

Karlson died of prostate cancer on 7 August 2024 at the age of 82.

RIP

Idk if this anatomy is accurate for terrestrial snails too, but to be fair for aquatic snails the turds float away immediately.

In India, this kind of thing is common, especially when the beggars are children.

Praying is just talking to your imaginary friend, and having it tell back to you what you want to hear.

These elected representatives are no more mentally developed than elementary school children. Must be from a state full of lead pipes.

"I don't live on this property, I just use it for storing my RV."

Tall shrubs/trees all around, get a PO box. Don't show your neighbors around.

Exactly what is going to compel local police to get a warrant to enter the property and somehow confirm you live in that RV full time?

These kinds of laws are crafted by elected legislators who are either truly inept, or only interested in performative gestures to boost their image. A law without realistic enforceability is mostly imaginary, and primarily serves just to tack extra charges onto some other sentence a person got for breaking a law local police actually enforce.

They finally pissed off the mouse. AI image generators are cooked.

Sure, but I don't think the price balance was historically close to today. Appliances may have been, relatively speaking, a much bigger investment to the point where paying a repair technician for a service call was usually the better option. Today, not so much.

I have a ten year old Samsung washer. It started leaking badly a couple years ago. I opened it up and replaced one small rubber tube for $5. If I had to pay someone $500 to fix it, I'd have been better off buying a whole new appliance. I won't be surprised if this is the only repair I have to do for many more years.

I suspect this is actually what's changed - labor is so expensive compared to the cost of the machine that people replace their appliance with a new one because it's only a little more than fixing their old one. And when they replace, they tend to think of the old brand as bad, and look for a new brand.

So everyone has negative stories about their appliances across just about every brand, except Speed Queen because those are so expensive, you'll actually pay a repair person to fix it instead of replacing it. It's like how some sports car brands are notoriously high maintenance, but what Ferrari owner cares about maintenance costs?

Decades ago the relative cost of a washer or dryer was much higher compared to repair labor. You'd pay the Maytag man to come fix your dryer if it had a problem.

But, it takes a lot of work by designers to get the fake lighting to look natural. Raytracing would help avoid that toil if the game is forced RT.
