Insurance companies jacking up premiums and/or pulling out of areas is like the only proper feedback loop for adapting to climate change left. Not saying I’m happy about it. I would not be totally shocked if health insurance starts having carve outs for heat related illnesses and their complications. Typing it out, I guess what’s more likely is raising premiums in areas with hospitals that serve a patient base in a high risk area.

It’s not even evil, it’s just math, so long as this is the way we want healthcare to “work”.

It might be? I forget exactly what it is in humans, I just remember the pictures I was shown. Midline disorders are nightmare fuel.

Oh I get how it got that way, it’s just unfortunate what that lead to in a clinical setting.

Similar to the meme… godamn did they fuck up by not holding geneticists to something close to… SOME standard naming.

Dated a maternal fetal medicine specialist. She’d come home being like “you ever have to explain to someone they have a mutation in the ‘sonic the hedgehog’ gene of their kid?!” If you’re familiar with what it does in fruit flies (when it was named), it’s fucking horrific in humans. Don’t google it.

That’s not me. Thaaaats asbestos.

I worked in bioelectrochemostry. We had looked into that to see if we could juice reactors. Turns out it’s not the bugs that limit things, but godamn did that stuff make them boogie.

No but it’s got a demo for free

People who don’t want to use the epic store. That was me. I just don’t want another launcher, another account. I’ll get around to it at some point I’m sure but I didn’t buy AW2 and probably would have if it wasn’t an exclusive.

No George Clinton was in parliament.

Tabasco serves it’s purpose. It has very little depth of flavor but there’s a time and place for it. Like in this dish where you want some zing but don’t want the hot sauce to overtake the flavor.

Not as great as it seems. The thing is, everyone’s retirement is tied to real-estate. The numbers my vary country by country, but nearly all pension funds and mutual funds have significant exposure to real-estate that is just ignoring the issue that those properties may become uninsurable. That’s before what happens due to the economic disruption of all those cities slowly, then at an increased velocity, relocating.

It’s not going to be pretty.

So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you’re describing is the main issue with climate change.

It’s not going to be “the day after tomorrow”. It will be coastal cities… which are… like nearly ALL of them… losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say “what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it’s sure to have severe damage?”.

For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the “going” is going to be very, very ugly.

… Damnit. That is dope.

Can you markup pdfs with it? Like if I’m reading a paper can I put notes in the margin etc and save it?

Somewhere, some patent lawyers are going to make millions debating about whether or not this constitutes “public disclosure”.

Oh… Oh no… Really?

Edit: I could have lived with it except for endorsing gwb. You don’t get to call yourself a libertarian and sign off on gitmo and patriot act. Those are like the difference between being problematic but principled ass and just an ass.

The 90s in the USA were a simpler time, but some folks got it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs-O4k9jZzE

Dude, they flubbed this so damn hard by over reaching. A few years ago, when they mentioned there would be a button in word that you could use to make a slide deck of your word dock, I was so excited. The teams meeting part where it will summarize meetings is honestly fantastic in doing Roberts rules of order type stuff. My response was “I hate what this means in terms of privacy, but godamn that sounds useful”.

In turning into an everything all or nothing they massively screwed up. I have a self hosted instance of llama-gpt that I use to solve the “blank page” problem that AI was actually great at.

I have a lot of issues with AI on principle, like a lot of folks. But it blows my mind how hard they screwed up delivery (and I don’t just mean the startups, that’s to be expected). There’s plenty to be said about uber at a principle level, but it’s still bloody convenient. The entire roll out of a AI-ecosystem reeks of this meme: “but we made plans!”.

So, ditto. Something is different about the pre packaged “tajin”.
