Because he might not be "Middle Eastern" or "Dictator" but he behaves exactly like "some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator".

Yeah she sounds like the particular brand of idiot that we have in the UK. I fortunately don't see that many of those... but still enough to find that sort of attitude recognisable.
Imagine what we could have achieved globally if we had spent all that money on a different cause.
We could have managed to establish a colony on Mars, or perhaps we could have even finished developing Star Citizen.
I love my job (and I would say to an atypical amount), and I'm on meds... But this doesn't change the fact that some days you just don't have the energy or brainpower to do anything - especially if your job requires deep thought and concentration.
It's taken me a good while to learn not to feel guilty about this, and also not to take it as a sign of me not liking my job.
To be fair, if anyone is surprised after the two red flags that are "ByteDance" and "AI", it's on them.
That was true 20 years ago, but Ford has been moving more and more towards a global strategy.
The Ford Escape, Explorer, Ranger, Focus, Mustang, Mach-E, are available in both US and Europe, and I think now even the F-150 and Bronco have made it into Europe. Plus the Transit commercial range.
So no, they're not quite separate anymore. Some models get developed in Europe (Focus, Escape), some in the US (Mustang, Ranger) but the general goal is to sell across the Atlantic.
I have a similar view. Plant things that are fun. It is a hobby and it needs to be that. Why bother planting potatoes when they take up a good amount of space and they're cheap?
I plant chives as well, rocket because I love it, weird varieties of chillies, and I'm thinking of adding also other herbs that I can't get easily or that are a faff to get. Coriander is a good example, as I have to get a bag whenever I have to use a tiny bit and the rest goes to waste.
Hobby farming is fun and a great way to get you (and the family) to eat more veggies. Subsistence farming is just painful.
I've just had to send this to a friend who always complains (jokingly, of course) about how I do exactly this.
This is like the equivalent of forcing a monkey to wait tables, and then complaining when it takes a shit in the middle of the restaurant.
It's a language model. What did they expect? If they wanted a software engineer, they should have hired a software engineer. Everyone is more than welcome to use a random text generator to spit out code, but I have zero sympathy for those who complain because they don't like the random text it's generated.
When they finally crash and burn (or sure, when they develop an AGI 🙄) this has potential to be an incredibly dramatic biopic. I hope it gets a good director.
TIL! I saw the photo and immediately went to wikipedia to confirm that. It looks clearly like a corvid in this photo.
In the countries where healthcare has existed (and worked) for decades, there are additional taxes to alcohol, sugar, tobacco, petrol to cover for this.
And also yeah, and I have no problem whatsoever knowing that a small part of my salary goes towards saving the life of people who wouldn't be able to afford private healthcare. That's called empathy - and I wish that'd sink in as well.
