This is the answer. Japan has a lot of respect for others (well, for other japanese at least), so these types of machines will last a lot longer; making the payoff more palatable.
Place a vending machine outside in America, and it’ll be vandalized in a week max.
Even in highly walkable cities, you don’t see vending machines. It has nothing to do with cars, it has to do with the culture of the US being one of disrespect most of the time.
That’s true of a lot of spaces who have been historically discriminated against. They become so hyper-aware of any criticism, that they immediately think anyone who has an experience different than their own is “the enemy”.
I think it’s just you. Differential Transformers are pretty good at regurgitating information that’s widely talked about. They fall short when it comes to specific information on niche subjects, but generally that’s only a matter of understanding the jargon needed to plug into a search engine to find what you’re looking for. Paired with uBlock Origin, it’s all typically pretty straight forward, so long as you know which to use in which circumstance.
Almost always, I can plug some error for an OS into a LLM and get specific instructions on how to resolve it.
Additionally if you understand and learn how to use a model that can parse your own set of user-data, it’s easy to feed in documentation to make it subject-specific and get better results.
Honestly, I think the older generation who fail to embrace and learn how to use this tool will be left in the dust, as confused as the pensioners who don’t know how to write an email.
I act like I do online and offline, with one exception - at my job. At my job, it’s customer-service face until I die. While I am at work, nothing matters besides your interest in spending money.
I’d almost say I’m more polite online than I am in person. But others don’t really say the same stupid bullshit to me that they do when not face to face, so generally I’m not getting into the same interactions. However, they do happen - and my wife says I will absolutely get myself shot one day with the way I talk to people.
I’ve watched plenty of sienen that weren’t as bad as this.
Wife refused to watch anime because “of all the weird shit”. Inuyasha broke the ice, Naruto got her a little further, and then I said “Let’s watch this - but I’m going to tell you right now, your first reaction is going to be to recoil and cringe. But I promise - if you give it a chance, you’ll enjoy it”.
And probably ONLY because she loves me so much, she did give it a chance. And WOO boy that helped open the flood gates to sooooo much more. She loved Kill La Kill by the end of it, and ended up being so much more willing to trod through uncomfortable stuff with me. Which, unfortunately, sometimes you have to do when it comes to Anime.
I tried. I tried so hard. Attempted 3x to watch this. First time I got 5 episodes in. Second time I got 12 episodes in. Third time I got 16 episodes in.
Each time, I tried so hard to continue going. I’m sure it was great when it was released, but holy shit it was such a SLOG.
You know the problem I have with Librewolf? – Fuckall nobody knows how to spell it.
The beauty of Firefox is that even the densest idiot knows how to spell those two words. And with attention spans the equivalent of a gnat, people need to have things simplified for them as much as humanly possible.
Fortunately enough, Firefox is about the only one with a renderer that isn’t controlled by Google, but - even now they’re shifting to a pro-advertising stance and backing off of the privacy orientation that they took just a year or two ago.
Nothing I am saying is even close to the term Newspeak. Newspeak is controlled language, simplified grammar, and limited vocabulary designed to limit a persons ability for critical thinking.
But I’m not limiting your ability to think critically, I’m trying to expand it. Yet, not only are you failing to think more critically here, you’re actively avoiding it by tossing out accusations and making jokes. Likely because you’ve already decided that you’re “right” (whatever the fuck THAT is in this context, since we agree) and that you’re going to fight whatever you’re perceiving as an…attack?
In short - yes, it would informally be a declaration of war - because they don’t call it that now. I’m just pointing out the second half is all.
No idea why you’re so combative. We’re largely on the same page here. I’m describing the nuances of the situation, not arguing with you. It’s not war in a technical sense. There are reasons why it’s not considered war, and nobody really wants it to be defined as a “war” either. But is it war? Well, yeah…kinda. Just not in the general sense of the word, and without all of the baggage that comes along with it being a formal “war”.
It’s like asking is the sky blue.
Unintelligent people say: Yes.
Intelligent people might say: Yes, well - most of the time. Occasionally it can be oranges, reds, etc depending on the angle of incidence of light, cloud cover, etc. And the blue color is more due to Reyleigh Scattering of the incoming full spectrum light rather than the actual sky itself being blue; technically it’s clear.
It’s not war unless congress declares it.

The last war we had was WWII. War includes suspension of constitutional rights, along with a mass of other bullshit. You do NOT want them actually declaring war.
Nah, nations don’t do “war” any longer. They call it something else so that they don’t have to abide by the rules we’ve all agreed to when going to war. Now they’re “operations”.
Netanyahu would probably rather his people be actually hurt, so that it could bolster popularity of ongoing war.
When nothing happens, and security manages to intercept these things - people start questioning if they’re actually in any kind of danger. Occasionally leaders have allowed things to happen to their citizens, in order to garner acceptance for going to war.
I don’t use Publisher, I used Affinity photo and it didn’t give me any problems - I assumed it was the same for the rest of their stuff, but maybe I was mistaken.
Just use Krita or the Affinity line of software (works under WINE pretty much flawlessly).
It allows programmers to be paid to work full time instead of just for free in their spare time.
I really hate how many people haven’t really picked up or understood the profound difference that gyro aiming makes for controller players.
The term would be a Duopoly.
Go download MythTV yourself. Shit’s been available for decades. I used to use it with a capture card to timeshift/DVR cable television. The source is me. I used it. It was great. It auto-removed TV ads when it recorded your shows.

I mean, human men have nipples and there’s no use for them there either. Evolution doesn’t get rid of things because they aren’t useful anymore, it only gets rid of things when they become detrimental to the survival of the species.
