I can’t for the life of me understand why there are vastly differing views on the efficacy of AI. Some people believe IoT automation will have massive cost saving benefits. Others don’t believe their grandmother will or should be brought back from the dead in a horrible digital taxidermy.

Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego

Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit.

Four tweets from the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations:

Statement on Claims of Food Shortages aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli:
Recent reports alleging food shortages and poor quality aboard our deployed ships are false.

Both USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli have sufficient food onboard to serve their crews with healthy options. The health and wellbeing of our Sailors and Marines are my top priority, and every crew member continues to receive fully portioned, nutritionally balanced meals.

Regarding mail and personal packages, a temporary hold on sending mail into theater, due to combat operations, has been lifted.  Our logistical network is highly adaptable, and we remain committed to supporting our warfighters as they execute Operation Epic Fury.

The @USNavy
 possesses an unmatched logistics capability to sustain operations at sea, and routine menu adjustments are simply how we optimize our endurance to keep our warships in the fight.

Last tweet in the thread: "...routine menu adjustments are simply how we optimize our endurance to keep our warships in the fight."

Putting aside the inaccurate AI output of it all, making cops write down what they did is probably the only time during the normal course of their jobs that they're forced to self-reflect and think about their decisions.

So of course they're trying to get rid of that.

All the trans people I know are cool and all the anti-trans people are uniformly douchebags so I have decided that they are like the evil version of the Justice League but without the cool costumes.

Games Workshop has always known the same thing the writers of Star Trek knew: if you include just a little bit for the horny weirdo, they'll spend thousands on your merchandise. This is something George Lucas only did by accident, because he doesn't really know about sex

Are You Playing Dungeons & Dragons or Doing Your Taxes? “The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.”

1. Your goal is to retrieve your treasure from a monstrous entity.

2. All you need is a pen and paper, but expensive software makes it much easier.

3. The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.

Good example of how to migrate your massive community off that gross website: tell that community your reasons for leaving and where they can find you elsewhere.

They will come wherever you rebuild if they are true supporters.

Focus here is on metrics being bad. Ethical issues equally justified.

Imane Khelif is also a woman. She is not trans as JKR says. She was born a woman, and lives as a woman.

She is intersex, which is when your bodies chromosomes dont align with the sex your body is born with. That isnt trans.

She was born a woman, and IS a woman.

@jk_rowling
I’ve never said Khelif is trans. Khelif, as has been proven by more than once by a sex test, is a man with a DSD. ‘When your bodies chromosomes don’t align with the sex your body is born with’ is a literally meaningless sentence.

Sure JK Rowling is a racist Holocaust denying body shamer who ripped off a bunch of different authors to create the McDonald's of slavery defending literature but did you also know she has absolutely no idea what she's talking about?
