If you haven't seen it, Little Children is a *great* movie. (Go ahead and watch all three of Todd Field's movies if you haven't. Nothing but hits.)
Hello from Newmarket!
So many memories stumbling to the Capitol Hill Dick's at 1 in the morning. I miss Dick's (and Seattle)
Oh man, I've got some bad news about that Joan Jett song

New Hampshire's definitely the outlier in that list, though- because religion isn't much of a political force in the least religious (tied with MA) state in the country. Turns out defeating people who believe Ayn Rand wants them to marry kids is easier than defeating people who think God does.

A food truck or a book mobile somewhere other than Santa Clara (yes, I am a hater)
She's obviously not familiar with the 1963 Amphibicar 770
The embryo is alive at conception in the same way the egg cell was alive before conception. Biologically-alive, but not alive as the word is commonly used- to describe entire organisms.
Using a scientific definition of the word, yes. But this isn't how the word is most-commonly used in normal coversation. That definition would describe you as one singular thing that is alive (though with many, many other living organisms in and on you). If you were to use the skin-cell definition in normal conversation you'd probably say "biologically alive" for the sake of clarity. Most people would not describe those little organ-transplant transport coolers as having something alive in them.
I'm not going to pretend like I don't have beliefs that people would think are crazy. But if DuckGoGo's search assistant popped up and said "general consensus is that automatic transmissions should be illegal on gas-fueled cars", even I - someone who believes that - would say they're wrong.
This isn't about what I typed into the search bar, either. Whether life begins weeks after birth isn't a contentious topic, about which it would be noteworthy for a search engine to present one viewpoint as consensus. Whether life begins at conception, however, is pretty much the A-#1 example of what is. Nobody - anywhere, ever - is getting riled up that a search engine isn't presenting a belief as niche as "life begins weeks after birth" as consensus.
Yeah, obviously this is about the first sentence, not the last one.
"All it does is grab sites and summarize them". Yeah, obviously. But it's not grabbing info from all sites, is it? There's a lot more places online saying "life begins at 40" than "life begins at conception." Why is it filtering out birthday card jokes, but not obvious propaganda sites? Ignoring the misinformation being spread doesn't prevent the misinformation from affecting me when I have to live with the people it's being spread to.
Thanks for being less douchenozzly than the other people telling me to turn it off (Honestly it didn't didn't really register that I had it on until now- I almost never see it. I guess there's no assisting a search for "manual Volvo c30 New England"). But I think that little warning makes this worse, not better. It indicates that they know their service is half-baked and faulty, but they've trotted it out anyway. It's not just negligence, it's willful negligence.
An error would be "general consensus states life begins at 1992 AWD Dodge Stealth".
How is their search-assistant including propaganda sites among its sources for information a computer error?
? Me seeing it isn't the problem
Obviously. How does that make it better?
#30 Unfortunately, this seems to be bs. There was a tradition of 13 being unlucky and Friday being unlucky, and at some point in the 19th century, somebody thought, "Hey, you know what would be doubly unlucky?". Some modern witchy types do seem to consider Friday the 13th "Freya's Day" mostly because Friday is named for Freya, 13 is a witchy type of number, and contrarianism. But this is very much a 21st-century thing.
Every day of the week feels the same. Get up, go to work, come home, stare at my phone, sleep, repeat. One of the days has photos of Christina Ricci, though. Christina Ricci is the only true indicator of time's passing.
It's been 4 Christinaa Riccis since summer started. 19 Christina Riccis since my birthday. It'll be at least 8 more Christina Riccis before I'm able to take a break from work.
Hearing an Australian say "we're not here to fuck spiders" will have you questioning whether their whole country is just an elaborate prank. Especially if they do it while pouring a beer into their sneaker
He was legitimately excellent in Bottoms just being Marshawn Lynch if Marshawn Lynch was a gym teacher. There's a lot of athletes who drag down any scene they're in- Marshawn's not one of them. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1ZndudzE5NW15d2d4bDlpaWwzM3k0anB5Mjlyb2diNHU1c3gyeDhocSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/mOjqPp6S4MYOfVe6K2/200w.webp
If the style of writing looks familiar, it's probably because the lettering of Dave Gibbons (who did both the art and lettering for Watchmen) was used to create the Comic Sans font
#9 One of my favorite random facts is that the soda Moxie (mostly only sold in New England nowadays) isn't named after the word moxie- it's actually the other way around. Moxie was an anglicization of the Abenaki word for "dark water" and gained its contemporary meaning through the soda's advertising. The advertising was so successful that the word is now common in places where Moxie isn't - and has never been - sold.
Check's out. What color are most cows? Brown and black. What color are most leather shoes? https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1NXJ6Y3M4bHI3c2QzbmoxamVhcnVkZHN0bTk0d2VmNHF0NXN0bXNvcSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/9GveIlQ086mToWn6wZ/200w.webp
I get that there's a way this *could* be produced (in plastic), but there's no chance this *would* be produced. There's zero (if not negative) benefit - in time and cost - to making a belt morph into a plate of the armor on one side (rather than just having the belt on top of the armor. Occam's Razor says it's AI.
Took me a second, but look at where the bottom belt meets the metal plate on the left side of the picture
