What do you mean by outdated? Most captchas are there to help them train their next ML model. Relevant xkcd:

Jail makes the most sense considering he returned with the same ticket in his pocket, but then again, since his family reported him missing you would have thought that they would have found out that he was in jail…

A fun Easter egg on Chromium browsers is that, when you get to 100 tabs, the number just turns into a smiley face.

This is why I prefer it when people specify what kind of “AI” they’re talking about rather than just saying “AI” as a buzzword. I definitely agree with Derbauer here… this is painful.

Great video, he breaks everything down really well…

I might have to start linking to this video rather than trying explain what AI is vs what AI isn’t to those who like to make general statements like “AI is a scam!”.

Yes, there are NAS grade SSD’s that can be used.

As long as you use the right kind of SSD, there aren’t any problems with doing this.

The only thing in that list that would qualify as pre-prepared food would be the ice cream.

I make my own dishes with what I listed out and the vegan alternative is almost always more expensive in comparison.

Edit: The yogurt could technically be considered pre-prepared when I eat that on its own, but I also use it to help make sauces that go with the meals.

You’re being a bit too selective here. Let’s be honest, there’s a lot more to making good tasting vegan meals than just rice and beans. In general I’ve found that eating vegan is more expensive than the equivalent alternative.

If you want more people to eat vegan meals they also have to taste good, and you want to mix up your meals so you’re not eating the same thing every day.

For burger equivalents any vegan meat alternative is more expensive than a regular burger (I’m really hoping that cultured meat can help turn this around).

For meat alternatives seitan tastes awesome, but it’s way more expensive than most meat itself.

Tofu tastes great when you know how to prepare it well, and that’s going to be closer to alternative meat prices.

Egg alternatives are more expensive than eggs.

For dairy alternatives, milk alternatives are more expensive than milk itself.

Vegan butter is more expensive than regular butter. Vegan cheese is way more expensive than regular cheese (especially if you want it to actually taste good). Vegan yogurt is more expensive than regular yogurt. Vegan mayonnaise is way more expensive than regular mayo. Vegan ice cream is way more expensive than regular ice cream.

To add on to this, the title should really end with, “than being vegetarian”, or else the title should be " Consuming animal products creates four time more greenhouse gases than being vegan,…"

It’s not really a 1 to 1 comparison if you’re comparing a meat eater with someone who doesn’t consume milk, meat, eggs, or any other animal products. You can also have meat eaters that don’t consume milk due to allergies and such.

Plus, technically speaking (with cultured meat on the rise), there could be vegans that aren’t vegetarian, as vegans could still eat cultured meat.

To be fair, I think both sides blow it out of proportion and that can stifle discussion. It won’t be the “end of the world” where everyone will die, but we will have the “end of the world” as we know it.

I think one of the main points that need to be stressed to the kind of people in your example would be droughts.

Droughts will continue to get worse and will affect everyone. With a bad enough drought, we won’t be able to feed entire cities. And that’s when things really start to fall apart.

I’m guessing you’re not a 90s kid…

Yet this endless cycle continues if we always vote for one of the big 2 rather than voting for someone we actually like.

Ranked choice voting comes with its own set of problems. Personally I think approval voting would be best, and then Star voting after that.

No voting system is perfect, but just about any other choice is better than what we’ve got right now.

I’ll have to find it, but I remember seeing some comments/ posts explaining how it was Huffman himself who was really the one pushing to kill off 3rd party apps.
Plus, he’s the one who was lying about the Apollo dev’s comments as well as editing other users comments.
