Hmm. Yup, looks like I'm remembering changes to make it possible to authorise gay marriages, and laws passed around the same time against anti-gay hate. Pretty close but not exactly the same.

Don't forget complacent, how many are seriously thinking about leaving? And that's not even just America but the whole West, although I'd hope we're learning.

Hmm, I never thought of this as futurology.

I'm poking around a bit about what passports I might be able to get (besides Israel). Canada's great right now, but it wouldn't be as a state.

To clarify, I meant SE Asia as the region, and I was mentally comparing against Africa or the rest of Asia. It's not the West, but Thailand and Singapore have legal gay marriage now.

Yes, it's possible he was even more trash than usual.

By the standards of whatever Siberian village, the compensation and various bonuses (including after they die) these guys pull is insane. That how they're convincing people to sign up for a war that's both unpopular and nearly guaranteed to kill you. They could try massive conscription, but they'd need loyal people to enforce it or a guarantee it wouldn't lead to regime change, and they have neither.

The Russian government is basically drawing down all the funds and infrastructure in the country to sponsor this war, and at some point here they'll run out. I think I have 11 months left on my prediction of by when.

Do I dare ask about which part?

There's pretty clearly 2 pyrotechnic events here. if you're viewing it on a good enough screen.

Given camera movement, I suppose the "plane" could just be a cloud of smoke as well, that's true. Like, maybe it started a rocket stage? Aren't Shaheds slow and dumb, though? I don't know why it'd need that.

Ah neat! So it's a drone firing a drone to intercept a drone.

Edit: No, that's a Russian craft.

Neat explanation. I'm going to add "energy is conserved" to this; we expect people to know that and make the connection to calories, but better safe than sorry.

Good for you! How long ago was that, and did you gain it back? That's usually the really hard part.

 

Since it's been a controversy on here a couple times, here's a great example of how you can demonstrate an LLM can produce something it can't have seen before.

It doesn't prove anything beyond doubt, but I think these kinds of experiments show to something like a civil law standard that they're not merely parrots.

 

This was an eye-opener for me. Less temporary foreign workers do construction than the general population? Seriously?
