  1. If Google ads only donks up the site for non subscribers that’s fine right?

    Im happy to pay my 20 bucks a year for the ekt plus despite not really using any of the added benefits because in terms of entertainment:dollar ratio I think Watmm beats all of the other things I subscribe to.

    My suggestion would be to increase the price of the basic subscription to get rid of ads to two to three coffees per year but  maybe that would actually decrease subscriptions if people think it’s too much

    failing that, a sponsor - the north face ™️

    im a latecomer here, and lucky enough to have a well paying job so grains of salt/stfu capitalist scum etc

    probably, i don’t believe anything coming out of Carlson’s mouth, but also i haven’t watched it beyond the ~4 minutes of his ‘intro on a Moscow balcony justifying why we’re doing it’. i doubt i’ll watch it but also, hey idk, could provide some useful info despite whatever spin/grift/bs/lies.

    edit : i’m sure nothing Putin could say will be any justification of Russia invading Ukraine/etc. 

    Tucker must know he’s pretty safe on a Moscow balcony because he’s not an actual journalist

    It also looks more robust, less fragile than the OP-Z (I am still holding a grudge against TE for the poor build quality of OPZ). Seqtrack got me hyped (as most grooveboxes do if I'm being honest), I really like the all-out design they chose.

    Yeah I sold the opz despite how fun it was to mess around with on the couch because the build quality was absolute shite

  4. I agree, I think the Palestinians and hamas should take that approach too, there’d be far more people alive now if they simply submitted to the Israelis 

    This principle can be extended to all conflicts - if the invading force is more powerful than you and more likely to win - just roll over and take it so you can save some lives - clearly the only humane option

  5. It’d be lovely if puberty could just wait until the age of 21 so all these troglodytes could fuck off with their “but the children” arguments but unfortunately reality intervenes.

     

    I can only speak to how gender clinics work where I come from but basically they’re staffed with people who are experts in these conditions who never take any life altering decisions lightly and always involve multiple assessments from psychologists, endocrinologists and surgeons - informed consent is still a legal requirement  - look up gillick competence summon - that’s the deciding factor

    With that information, machines have already been shown to show a much higher degree of accuracy of understanding than humans, such as in some medical imaging models.

    I disagree that this constitutes “understanding”

    it’s basically just pattern recognition

  7. It arrived here in aus end of last week. Sadly the turntsble is sitting in a closet to protect it from toddler hands so can’t comment on the quality of the pressing. Been doing my part to spread the word about Autechre by wearing my draft 7:30 shirt and being awkward and unapproachable in it. Xl fitting this 6’1 dadbod perfectly

  8. I think a lot of people don’t realise that you need to get epithelial cells on the swab for it to be accurate 

    I’ve seen plenty of people tickling their nose hairs rather than doing it properly - if your eyes aren’t watering it’s not in far enough

    what makes you think i disagree with what he said?  yes the ukrainian government is putting its people in harms way by not making an agreement with russia.  yes, they are massacring their own people in the east and have been for a long time

    Using this logic I assume you’d agree that Russia is putting its own people in harms way by not making an agreement with the west

     

  10. I recently read the first foundation book - I haven’t watched the new series but frankly I don’t think it would be hard to improve on the dialogue at the very least (the chapter with lord dorwin is almost unreadable)

    maybe some of the concepts are fleshed out better in the subsequent books but “psychohistory” also feels like a very handwavey plot device
