It’s only cheaper if the mistakes it makes cost less to fix than paying a human to do it in the first place. That said, shifting operating costs to operating risk usually looks good on paper because the risks don’t get quantified properly or at all.

Don’t trust that other guy. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. I can offer it to you on a payment plan of 24 easy monthly payments of $0.

Ok, you’re going to have to share with the class.

Thanks for reminding me I’ve got a daki on the way. Time to check the mail every hour.

I have NoScript for JS tracking, but what do you use for fingerprint randomisation?

That’s kind of him, I got tired of losing The Game years ago.

Yes, maths. It’s the alternative short form of mathematics.

There is a good chance…

Probabilistically, the early bird theory is unlikely. If development of life were to follow a normal distribution, it’d be highly improbable that we’d be in the tails as opposed to the main body.

I’m not quite sure what you’re suggesting, but I’m sure I don’t like it.

Saved you a click.

The declining birth rate isn’t going to hurt anyone alive today.

Having a top heavy age demographic means less tax revenue will be split between more required services. There will also be fewer labourers with more labour requirements. The only ones it won’t hurt are the billionaires.

It’s probably a good thing in the long run that human population is stabilising, but it’s going to be problematic until we get to that stable state.

there are plenty of video essays that I’ve watched for content that I never watched in the first place, because the analysis was highly entertaining and is much less time consuming

This makes me think of Angela Collier’s essay segment “that time I read and enjoyed Ayn Rand”, because nobody should ever have to sit through reading Atlas Shrugged.

I’ll just send a picture:

This was before I added the netting. I use tomato clips to hold up the plants:

Then the netting just goes all the way around the outside hanging down from the top, and secured at the bottom with ground clips.

The netting isn’t big enough for squirrels to get through. It’s draped down from the trellising, and pinned down to the ground. There’s no way for the squirrels to get in unless they climb up and over, and they don’t seem to be able to figure that out.

Not sure what to do about the horn worms though.

I have a raised bed and just hang a loose net around the whole thing so the squirrels can’t get in. Otherwise those little buggers will take one bite out of each tomato and leave the rest for me to clean up.

I just position mine so the end is how I want it, and sometimes that means the first bite is mostly bread.

Oh, lmao, I didn’t even realise it was a 1 time thing, but now that I re-read, it does say “dividend”. It’s basically a small bribe to placate him fleecing his angered masses.

Our premier did that as well, and it was quite effective at keeping him in office, IMO.

Trump suggesting any sort of UBI was not on my bingo card for this year. You just know there’s going to be some sort of catch.

He added that, while waiting in the minivan for his citation, he caught a glimpse of the agents in the vehicle with him receiving text messages from a group chat called “Chiraq Team 2.”

This was the only bit of the article actually related to the headline, which feels a bit clickbaity.

That aside, it was a good window in to just how far things have gone in the US. Scary stuff.

I spent enough time on the site with green text in my youth that it does not, but it’s still fun to sometimes pretend I have a shred of innocence left. (:
