People who swear aren't trying to communicate meaning, they are communicating emotion. The specific words they speak have no relevance to what they are communicating. Emotion probably does push people to a heightened sense of strength.
They won't lose their jobs just yet.
It's a nefarious plot by the ultra-rich to deprive regular people of all their income, so they can dispose of us and take over the world completely.
You are conditioned to comply. This guy actively tried to circumvent the security process, and succeeded. Most people, like you and me, don't want to risk the fallout that would happen if we got caught. When somebody just doesn't care about the consequences of getting caught, they can find ways to get around security.
Water starts to cause problems when drunk at a rate of over one liter per hour. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uhhospitals.org%2Fbl.... Water intoxication is a real thing. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmy.clevelandclinic.org...
Help me understand what kinds of containers with a plastic seal, do not risk shedding microplastics into the food! You speak as if this is common knowledge, it is not.
Leaching isn't the only risk of plastics. Nylon and PDFE dental floss do indeed shed microplastics. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brushmable.com%2Fblo...
With that said, I do agree that the hype about microplastics is overblown. Plastic, as I pointed out, does many useful things, and overall has a positive effect on health.
Of course, you have to understand what you can and can't trust. That's why I spot-checked the findings.
Can you trust what Wikipedia says? Can you trust what the New York Times says? Fox News?
All repositories of information have inaccuracies. The trick is to understand what kinds of inaccuracies are likely. AI, Wikipedia, and news websites are all still useful, despite their flaws.
It didn't tell me what to select. It did a side-by-side comparison of the various attributes of each plan, comparing things like deductibles, coinsurance, max out of pocket, etc. While I don't doubt that Gemini and its kin will offer product placement, it's a whole other thing to distort such a comparison.
According to CDC data, more than 90% of Americans have measurable levels of these chemicals in their bodies
Toxicity is always a function of concentration. Always. Even water is toxic if ingested at high enough levels.
What is the spread between "measurable" and "toxic" for these plastics?
And what health *benefits* do we sacrifice if we give up plastics?
Sealed plastic containers are highly effective at controlling bacterial growth, for example. Flossing your teeth with plastic (nylon) is universally recommended by dentists for dental health. Plastic tubing is universally used in IVs. Many of these health-*positive* uses would be very difficult to reproduce with other materials.
The author argues that shorter sentences are just the result of using periods where semicolons or colons used to be used.
Oliver argues that much of what modern datasets measure as declining sentence length is actually just changing punctuation habits. Writers now use periods where earlier generations used colons and semicolons.
But I'd argue that these long sentences, made up of clauses joined by colons or semicolons--*are* harder to read. Using periods instead, forces the author to write sentences that are shorter and more self-contained.
It's like the old quote that "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter." Writing thoughts concisely does take more effort, but it results in text that is easier to digest.
Yes indeed, Google Flights is *the* best way to search for good flights and good prices. Once in a while, Google does something good and hangs onto it. Well, for now at least.
So now, instead of Google, you're using Bing. Yeah, if you use DuckDuckGo or Brave, you're using Bing. Good move.
This experiment will soon show up on https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkilledbygoogle.com%2F
I used Gemini in Chrome just yesterday.
My son was signing up for his company's health insurance plan. He had three choices, and the options weren't easy to decipher, and the text was long. AI was able to show me a nice three-column comparison of what was different in the three plans, just by reading the text on the page. I spot-checked its findings, they were right on.
Despite the backlash from many, there are many ways in which AI helps people in very tangible ways.
The recent-graduate unemployment rate now sits slightly higher than the overall workforce's
Is that really an indication that the hiring process is breaking down, or that we have a catastrophe on our hands?
