I'm just a Marine who likes fixing trucks and shooting guns. I also like puppies (all dogs are puppy) and food.

After Venezuela I called it and said, "well, hopefully they don't get cocky." It was a small hope and I expected them not to not overplay. Yet...

I only use it occasionally to grammar check emails and to make long convoluted stories to shit post on Facebook. I really try to tap into the hallucinations that a GPT makes. And since I'm only using the free version, I'm making them lose money.

Yeah, and one argument I'm sure they'll make is that she should have "fact checked" the output. There's been a few legal proceedings where real lawyers didn't do this and rubber-stamped motions. But lots of schools, including law school, are currently having courses on AI use in their fields.

But the biggest issue would be how ChatGPT presented the information. Was it "hey here's the output but you really should check this with an expert." We'll see if the suit makes it to discovery.

It adds a layer of lore to the HW Bush controversy.

I'm thinking a little of column B with more in A. I think those jobs are mostly carried out by military leadership that work in the joint task force. As someone pointed out, there were a lot of purges due to "loyalty" and those who took over the job might not have been trained or qualified.

That said, inspect what you expect, Pete should have verified these tasks were completed. He should have made sure whoever filled the empty spaces he created were adequately trained.

I just print out what I need from the office.

Ink is too expensive, "expires" too quickly, and is an overall scam.

Eh... I think he was more thinking we're not "speaking for them" but "speaking with them". The best way to explain it is that as a white person, you've never truly experienced racism in the way a black man or woman has. So one who is eager to help can overstep which technically is racism too but like how Diet RC Cola is to Pepsi. So those who desire to be on the right side of history check our shoulders to make sure we're still standing next to friends and not in front, shutting them out.

Look up the history of militaries overthrowing governments and you'll find why even the most outspoken of military personnel against the administration's policies shudder at the thought of doing so. There's a reason why the stereotypical dictator is dressed like a military general. It's because they often were.
Look I feel ya, one of the best Sgts I've worked with is facing discharge because he wasn't always a "he." This roller coaster of an administration isn't fun for us either. 1/¿

Jokes on somebody because my wife and I both have ADHD so we offload executive functions on each other.

Also: re-reading both comments, yes I did see my spelling errors. I blame it being 4am and I'm on the couch after getting my kid to sleep so my partner can get some shut eye since it's the weekend.

So the live action is more in line with the local culture and teaches the importance of not letting go of dreams and learning to ask upon the "village" in times of need. Unfortunately, that changes a major plot point of the original movie which die-hard Disney fans loath.

But if someone of actual Hawaiian descent and upbringing would like to chime in (even entirely refute this haole's understanding), please do so.

To preface: I'm not a local age especially not a kanaka maoli, just passing through for an extended period. As it was explained to me, everyone has people who they can call "Aunties" and "Uncles." Adults will step up in times of need especially to support a young woman who lost her parents at a young age and is bearing the burden of raising her younger sister. Someone who isn't even blood will volunteer. And in that respect, family takes a real extended definition. (1/?)

Yeah, I really love jokes like that. I like puns and wordplay in general so using multiple languages makes it more fun.

There is an argument that a doctor could bill insurance for things you don't need and maybe never received. Happens a lot with Tricare for military dependents. And doctors for write prescriptions for things not actually needed like opioids. *BUT* This is literally happening under the current system. There should be things that absolutely cannot be denied if prescribed by a board certified doctor. The agency to enact this as a regulation rather you pay more for less coverage and blame immigrants.

If anything, it gives me an excuse to return. I loved my time being here especially with the mainland getting chaotic. But I also don't want to "move" here and contribute to the displacement of the residents. But it really is beautiful here, especially if you get away from the touristy city areas.

It's the same when I call my ISP about slow speeds. "Hey, I'm only getting 52kB/s, when can I expect normal speeds to return since I pay you $100 a month." "Okay sir, can you go to this and see where it says speed test? Can you run a speed test for me?" My guy, I didn't say I just had slow speeds, I gave you the metric... Let's do the math and put 2 and 2 together...

I'm in Hawaii now but I'll be in North Carolina soon. I probably could find it at a specialty store, but I liked finding it in just the average supermarket here. That and all the ube flavored options. My daughter has a thing for the color purple ever since the KPop movie blew up

To be fair, I read up on Japanese blacksmiths when I got way into kitchen cutlery (thx r/truechefknives.) A lot of the traditional sword blacksmiths converted to making cutlery when swords were banned. So this cutting implement is and is not a sword. Like if metal and forging had DNA.
