Yes. Skipping meals can condition your body to store away more of it because it isn't sure when the next meal will come, eventually making you fatter even if you eat very little.
And not a single mention of where he built the Telechron factory. The first and last, I believe, was built in Ashland, MA.
Recently, they put up a nice commemorative light-up sign and lit up the old clock tower too.
Yes this. This is what I've been trying to explain to my friends.
When Tron came out in 1982, it was disliked because back then using CGI effects was considered "cheating". Then awhile later Pixar did movies entirely with CGI and they were hits. Now almost every big studio movie uses CGI. Shunned to embraced in like, 13 years.
I think over time the general consensus's views about AI models will soften. Although it might take longer in some communities. (Username checks out lol, furry here also. I think the furs may take longer to embrace it.)
(Also, people will still continue to use older tools like Photoshop to accomplish similar things.)
Nor the FCC. I just got a call from a contractor-recruiter call center. (About half of them are scams, but you can't tell, because they all sound like the same foreign call center.) The caller ID said "Public Service". That has got to be illegal?
In my professional experience (since before the pandemic), I've been encouraged not to mix work with my personal life. Regardless, even when I ignored this advice and did share personal details and be myself, the interactions have always felt disingenuous. For me at least, being an actual friend and keeping up a professional appearance are mutually exclusive.
I suppose I've personally been very fortunate to remain friends with a lot of people from my childhood, and meet others through them. Even the people I have met through friends only recently, feel more genuine than older personal connections made through work. (None of my friends spend personal time with people they've met through work, either!)
Interactions with work people will always have that veneer of trying to look and sound one's best in the professional sense, in protection of one's career. In friendships you shouldn't be afraid to show your flaws, imperfections, personal beliefs, personal history, the squishy parts.
It is. Mass resident here. When the groups against this law were campaigning, they televised very creepy PSAs explaining this farcical point, to scare residents into voting against it. One I remember in particular was a POV shot of a man stalking a woman in a parking garage on her way to her vehicle.
New reddit is the worst. Who even designed it? Every time I accidentally find myself on new reddit UI, I feel like I'm looking through foggy glasses. Over the course of about 20 seconds, I blindly click around, feeling lost and confused, then frustrated, and then I just add "old" to the URL.
Not that I know of. I keep poking around all the ones that pop up here, some of which are nicely made but still small, and I've been contemplating joining a Lemmy instance or starting one with some friends.
Next, they'll hand over fan-built communities to the entities that own the IPs they're dedicated to. Eg. r/starwars to Disney, r/startrek to Viacom/Paramount, etc.
Then, old.reddit.com will stop working spontaneously, just like how they toyed with killing mobile browser access to force users to download the app, which they probably will eventually. That's going to be the final push for a lot more users. The academics, for certain.
Give it a few months, it'll be like FaceBook, Twitter, Tumblr. Ad and bot ridden ghost town, devoid of all creativity - nay, devoid of actual information at all. Just a sinking ship with people still getting off.
I love this so much. It's everything I want in a practical typeface. It's only missing a couple little things. Can we get an alternate 7 digit with the line through it, and 1 digit with the bottom horizontal line?
