What really grinds my gears is that search engines simply do not show you the thing you are looking for.

Even when you put explicit captions and quotes around your search topic it will just ignore them and show you other stuff.

This issue is not limited to google. Start page, ecosia search, Bing, (God forbid you use that) all of them simply choose to ignore your explicit groupings of words.

I am also running a locally hosted searx server, and it's not much better because the results that it gets come from other search engines.

Do we need to build a federated search system to replace Google and everything else?

I think the answer is yes.

You can buy a cheap smartwatch that will monitor your pulse, give you a pulse oximeter reading, handle text messages and phone calls, take photos, and also within a reasonable margin of error check your blood sugar for about $35 on AliExpress.

Even better, if you scour your local thrift stores you can occasionally find them for as little as $10 and all they typically need is a cleanup and a new toner cartridge.

I bought mine for $7 4 years ago and it's still working on the toner cartridge that was in the printer when I bought it.

Admittedly, I only print about 40 or 50 pages a year but that's a hell of a deal.

I would just clear coat it.

Tape off everything that you don't want the clear coat on, spray on a coat, let it dry spray on another coat, sand it with some 400 or 600 grit sandpaper, wipe it down, spray on another cover of clear coat.

Might be a bit of a hassle but if you want to make sure that it's not sticky anymore, clear coat is the way to go.

All the things he said all the things he said running through my head running through my head

I've heard it can also have gastrointestinal effects. I got it a few weeks ago and it really made me Wang Chung.

I believe you have misunderstood the fundamental tenet of the question.

"If a tuvok could vok voks" is explicitly stated in the original question, therefore logically, given the constraints of the thought experiment for the question to be answered a tuvok must be able to vok voks a priori.

How many voks could a tuvok vok if a tuvok could vok voks?

I'm liking the direction the Catholic church is taking.

When I get isekaied I'm going to genetically alter regular house flies and turn them into flies that can seek out any flung projectile and abscond with it for consumption.

I'll give them the power to travel from wherever and whenever they are to intersect with any weapon thrown against me.

They'll eat sling stones and will make short work of trebuchet rocks but my time flies really like an arrow.

The Tibetan mystics know they will be reincarnated against the law of the CCP so even though they've come up with dozens of functional magical spells they are lying about them and not sharing them with the pla.

I make it a point to intentionally dead name soft drinks based on the region I am currently in.

Forcing servers to engage in neuron activation is my hobby.

 

Like I get the push more air through your mouth and get louder but my voice never breaks. I just get louder and louder and louder until I can't get louder anymore.

One time a friend of mine was a half a block away in the wrong direction and I screamed their name and they jumped because they said it sounded like I was right behind them talking in my normal voice just very loudly.

But then I listen to singers and they get that raw raspy edge to their voice and my voice doesn't do that.

How do you do that?

 

Here's the rules:

1: Post something you have never done that you think many people do. 2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it. 3: If you believe the person is lying, call them out on it in a reply. 4: If you are called out, give the full story. 4a: If you see a thread containing the full story, boost the person you think is right and truthful.

Person who has the most upvotes when the thread dies wins.

 

CAUTION SLOW

 

Don't get me wrong, there are problems with it, both in the process that modern AI uses as well as the sources that it draws from, however, as of right now ai is just a tool like auto-tune or photoshop.

Even though it will change the media formats that it is attached to, it will not supplant them within the next 5 to 10 years, it will simply transform them.

 

Fuckin magnets man

 

We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?
