It's more like "you haven't earned the right to have other people keep you alive". I daresay it's related to how, after 40ish years of working and raising a family and being a good citizen you can retire and have the bar for "staying alive" set a lot lower for most.

Just read this on Wikipedia. It's great!

On 15 March 2021, Magnus Carlsen, playing white, led with the Bongcloud in a game against Nakamura at the Magnus Carlsen Invitational. Nakamura mirrored the opening with 2...Ke7, leading to a position nicknamed the Double Bongcloud.[2] The game was intentionally drawn by threefold repetition after the players immediately repeated moves, the particular sequence they used known as the "Hotbox Variation".

The truly rich live even differently. They have trusts, of course, but their personal expenses are paid for by their personal non-profit charities that provide an allowance to them that's managed by a family office and full time controller/money-babysitter who is also the family's fixer and consigliare. Additional big purchases live private jet airfare and shopping sprees are paid for by an amex the controller just pays off.

Fun fact, that traverse gap separates the red river of the north from the MINNESOTA river - which eventually drains into the Mississippi. The Mississippi starts at Lake Itasca.

Fun fact #2, the Minnesota/Mississippi drains into the Atlantic via the Gulf, but the red river eventually drains into the Arctic Ocean via the Hudson Bay!

Not really. 1 or 2 promotions. Can't forget lead architect, senior lead, principal architect, senior principal architect, distinguished architect, senior distinguished architect, and architecture fellow.

I am doing the best out of all my siblings, so none of them. But if I had to I'd swap with my brother cause his wife is hot.

I think it's obvious that AI created art isn't copyrightable based on current law - but the AI prompts are! I think it's interesting to think about what should be done about the situation and how we should analogize it. Is AI like a paintbrush? Is it like a slave? Is it like an elaborate machine? Most artistic output is copywritable regardless of the machinery used to create it, but a slaves art is not copywritable by its master. But a computer program creating art - if it's not AI, is THAT art copywritable?

It's a fun thought exercise.

Hot damn look at that sidekick. What a perfect machine right there. So good the team got hired by Google to port their Hip OS and turn it into Android.

Like the title says. I have some decent work shoes and decent athletic shoes, but I need to be able to dress down without looking like I'm going to the gym.

Some pretty great newgaze from Tamaryn's best album.

I'm not sure that's true. You have to remember that when the fairness doctrine was still in force everyone got all of their information from broadcast. Even when cable first came on scene and got popular in the late '70s and early '80s, it was simply to improve how well you got your broadcast stations, and maybe give you a chance to have a few additional channels. The idea of basic cable took years before it took off.

Same, but I'm maybe a little disappointed in how much horse riding I'm doing...
