No idea.

Check out “Reign of Fire.” (2002)
Christian Bale and a very bald Mathew McConnahey.

I feel like the real reason for the social media ban is to establish some kind of digital ID program and requiring that ID for everything a person does online. That makes it possible to curate not only where you can go online, but what you see when you get there. It is being sold as a way to “protect the children” but the reality is the children are the target audience. Children don’t have many preconceived notions about privacy, so violating their privacy will be so much easier.

Remember, in just a few years these “children” will be adults and any changes made for them today will eventually become the normal for everyone.

I think it might be simpler than that. I think the people who were already invested in energy heard about the energy needs of AI and started investing there to prop up the cost fossil fuel. Then Trump and friends got involved and killed several renewable energy initiatives. I think it’s all about greed, and not much else.

Recently switched to a MacBook for school. Switching to Linux on my Desktop at home.

The fourth frame depicts a man getting arrested for using a stolen credit card at a Chinese restaurant. It takes several officers to arrest him and he is humorously vocal about what the police are doing. The incident is known as Democracy Manifest.

Homeless shelter and soup kitchen! The President is there every other Thursday serving food and drinks to the guests. As is tradition.

A few years ago I was looking at buying a new food processor and a new blender. I wanted to buy something that would not wear out easily and that I could probably still get parts for if either one ever needed repair. Price was a bit of a factor but I was willing to pay for quality. I finally settled on a Cuisinart 14 cup food processor (DFP-14BKSY) and a Vitamix Standard (5200) blender. Both are professional quality and have been very reliable since the day I bought them more than five years ago.

I think for people like me, it isn’t that we dislike math. It’s that we dislike having to work out the formulas without there being much instruction on what the formula is doing. I want to know the theory behind it. Explain, at least once in a while, what is happening in the formula. Without context of what the calculations and formulas are doing (including refreshers on the basics) it starts to become just a jumble of meaningless numbers.

I find that my understanding of math is much better when I can see each step written out in long form. Once I understand what is happening, using the formulas is much easier.

If the instruction is just a string of memorization exercises, I will pass the test when it is given, but would I fail that same test just a few months later because I will have no context to give it meaning and I will forget most of it.

I have no proof, but I feel like the AI push and Turnip getting re-elected and his regression of the EPA rules sounds like this whole AI thing was an excuse to burn more fossil fuels.

If I was invested in AI, and considering AI’s thirst for electricity, I would absolutely make a similar investment in energy. That way, as the AI server farms suck up the electricity I would get at least some of that money back from the energy market.

Based on what I remember from my biology class, many traits are decided by dominant vs recessive genes. The genes in your DNA are arranged in pairs. Your parents each provide you with one half of that pair.

• Recessive genes require both genes to be the same to be expressed.
• Dominant genes only require one to be expressed.

Let’s assume that tallness is the dominant gene and being shorter is the recessive gene.

If your father has one gene for being more than 182 cm and one gene for being less than 170 cm, he will be tall because the gene for tallness is dominant. If your mother has two genes that both select for being less than 170 cm tall, she will be noticeably shorter than your father because she has two recessive genes.

If your father gave you his recessive gene and your mother gave you one of her recessive genes, you would be noticeably shorter than your father.

This can also happen when both parents are tall but each of them carries both the dominant (tallness) gene and the recessive (shorter) gene. If they each provide only the recessive gene to their offspring, the result is an offspring that is significantly shorter than their parents.

I would spend billions of dollars ensuring that Trump dies poor and homeless.

Not clanker but simply: Clank!

The answer, at least in my experience, is that schools offer classes throughout the day and it is up to the student to select classes that fit onto their schedule. Unless a class is only offered in the morning, it is entirely possible to attend classes that do not start before noon and still get a degree.

Try to think of how a bad actor might use what you are suggesting to steal someone’s identity. The trouble with any identity verification system is not just how inconvenient it is, but also how criminals will try to abuse the system.

Some kind of entity would have to be in charge of storing and verifying the DNA data. Once that database is created, there will always be the potential for exploitation. Also consider what happens if, or more likely when, that entity changes hands and is run by new people with new agendas? That might not work out so well for the people in that database.

The government has my fingerprints and my drivers license photo. I am not interested in sharing that with any for-profit company. I would be even more resistant to anyone wanting to collect my DNA regardless of the reason.

It’s because their religion has taught them to trust religious leaders without question. They have faith that the church knows what is best for them and their community. They tend to not use critical thinking when it comes to religious matters.

People often have a similar faith in their parents judgement. If Mom or Dad asks them to do something that seems foolish, many people will still do it simply because of the unquestioning trust they have for their parents.

Did I just get Cold-rolled?

There are two answers to your question.
Most password cracking operations target a database of user accounts in bulk. As long as the hacker is not targeting your friend specifically, they should be fine.
If your friend is the target, one or two successful hacks could make their other passwords vulnerable.

Maybe change it up a bit? Decide that when you drink, you will only drink premium beer. Refuse to buy anything but expensive beer that is not on sale. After buying a few of those, your desire to save money will begin to heavily influence your desire to buy it at all. This has the added benefit of making all of the cheap beers seem sub-standard and not worthy of purchase.
