The fourth frame depicts a man getting arrested for using a stolen credit card at a Chinese restaurant. It takes several officers to arrest him and he is humorously vocal about what the police are doing. The incident is known as Democracy Manifest.

So Miller is mad because the governor won’t protect the invading army of thugs? Is that what this is? He can’t be serious. 🙄
Homeless shelter and soup kitchen! The President is there every other Thursday serving food and drinks to the guests. As is tradition.
Not having good time awareness was my big issue growing up and for a significant part of adulthood. I was always losing track of time and showing up late for just about everything. People often suggested that I set an alarm to remind me. I didn’t know how to explain to them that if two alarms wasn’t enough, how would setting more do any good? (also those alarms needed to be maintained and adjusted, which added to the stress.)
After my diagnosis I made two significant changes. First, I became self-employed. That eliminated the time clock issue. And since I could set my own schedule, it was much harder to actually be late. Second, I decided that I would not longer be upset with myself for being late for appointments. If I was late, that was something I could not go back and fix therefore it wasn’t worth getting upset about.
This had a dramatic effect on my ability to arrive on time. Almost overnight I was almost never late for anything and my stress level about it went down to almost nothing.
I still get lose track of time on occasion. I can begin work on a project in the morning and suddenly realize that it is no longer daytime and several hours have gone by. But now I also have a dog and he reminds me to stop and take a break every two or three hours.
Looks like chia seeds.
Those look like headstones. I’m thinking it’s a cemetery.
A few years ago I was looking at buying a new food processor and a new blender. I wanted to buy something that would not wear out easily and that I could probably still get parts for if either one ever needed repair. Price was a bit of a factor but I was willing to pay for quality. I finally settled on a Cuisinart 14 cup food processor (DFP-14BKSY) and a Vitamix Standard (5200) blender. Both are professional quality and have been very reliable since the day I bought them more than five years ago.
I think for people like me, it isn’t that we dislike math. It’s that we dislike having to work out the formulas without there being much instruction on what the formula is doing. I want to know the theory behind it. Explain, at least once in a while, what is happening in the formula. Without context of what the calculations and formulas are doing (including refreshers on the basics) it starts to become just a jumble of meaningless numbers.
I find that my understanding of math is much better when I can see each step written out in long form. Once I understand what is happening, using the formulas is much easier.
If the instruction is just a string of memorization exercises, I will pass the test when it is given, but would I fail that same test just a few months later because I will have no context to give it meaning and I will forget most of it.
Deal! (i’m swithing to Linux)
You can use a smart plug to remotely control power to the Raspberry Pi.
If you enable Wake-on-LAN in the server BIOS, the Raspberry Pi can use Etherwake to power up the server when needed.
To connect to the Pi, I would suggest using a Pi4 or Pi5 and remote into it via Raspberry Pi Connect. That will give you secure remote access to the Pi.
I have no proof, but I feel like the AI push and Turnip getting re-elected and his regression of the EPA rules sounds like this whole AI thing was an excuse to burn more fossil fuels.
If I was invested in AI, and considering AI’s thirst for electricity, I would absolutely make a similar investment in energy. That way, as the AI server farms suck up the electricity I would get at least some of that money back from the energy market.
Read it backwards.
Based on what I remember from my biology class, many traits are decided by dominant vs recessive genes. The genes in your DNA are arranged in pairs. Your parents each provide you with one half of that pair.
Let’s assume that tallness is the dominant gene and being shorter is the recessive gene.
If your father has one gene for being more than 182 cm and one gene for being less than 170 cm, he will be tall because the gene for tallness is dominant. If your mother has two genes that both select for being less than 170 cm tall, she will be noticeably shorter than your father because she has two recessive genes.
If your father gave you his recessive gene and your mother gave you one of her recessive genes, you would be noticeably shorter than your father.
This can also happen when both parents are tall but each of them carries both the dominant (tallness) gene and the recessive (shorter) gene. If they each provide only the recessive gene to their offspring, the result is an offspring that is significantly shorter than their parents.
This is some of the goofiest shit I have ever heard. If these biblical Nephilim giants ever existed, and someone had evidence of that existence, what would be the motivation for hiding it?
Scientists do not avoid biblical references because of some vast conspiracy. They leave that stuff out because those stories do not agree with their findings and/or do not add any useful information.
A great many scientists are Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. If the Nephilim ever existed and evidence was found that proved it, scientists would not shut up about it. It would be impossible to keep it quiet.
Can you imagine the museum traffic if such evidence existed? People would travel from all over the world to see even a tiny fragment. No curator in his or her right mind would pass up that opportunity!
Progressive lenses are complete garbage! The fact that you need to wear them for several days for your eyes (and your brain) to adjust to them speaks volumes. Keep in mind you will also see very poorly for the first few days.
I got some progressive lenses for my second ever pair of glasses. My first pair did not have bifocal lenses. I wore the progressive lens glasses for a few minutes in the store. Took them off, drove home, and tried to wear them at home. I hated them so much that I went back the same day and returned them. I have had lined bifocals ever since and have not regretted it one little bit.
I would spend billions of dollars ensuring that Trump dies poor and homeless.
Can’t speak for anyone else, but here are a few reasons I avoid Ai:
AI server farms consume a stupid amount of energy. Computers need energy, I get it, but Ai’s need for energy is ridiculous.
Most of the implementations of Ai seem to be after little to no input from the people who will interact with it and often despite their objections.
The push for implementing Ai seems to be based on the idea that companies might be able to replace some of their workforce compounded with the fear of being left behind if they don’t do it now.
The primary goal of any Ai system seems to be about collecting information about end users and creating a detailed profile. This information can then be bought and sold without the consent of the person being profiled.
Right now, these systems are really bad at what they do. I am happy to wait until most of those bugs are worked out.
To be clear, I absolutely want a robot assistant, but I do not want someone else to be in control of what it can or cannot do. If I am using it and giving it my trust, there cannot be any third parties trying to monetize that trust.
The answer, at least in my experience, is that schools offer classes throughout the day and it is up to the student to select classes that fit onto their schedule. Unless a class is only offered in the morning, it is entirely possible to attend classes that do not start before noon and still get a degree.
If you need a second job, both of your bosses are exploiting you.
