I’ve tried a few things. It gives back things like “this is a gambled version of this other common saying” or “that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use”.
It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.
If you haven’t customized the directions to your taste you’re still an amateur.
And in a way that makes people believe that they’re doing good and that we can trust the billionaires to have society’s best interests at heart. They’re laundering their image while continuing to enrich themselves.
I didn’t realize this was happening. Where can I find out more about this?
No, it says that hard work “leads to success” not that “hard work is success”. Typically, when applied to people, success doesn’t mean working hard. It means attaining something the person wants. In the case of a donkey, their personal definition of success is likely different than for a person. That is what I meant by my comment.
If I’m a donkey, I define it as having good apples, tasty carrots, lots of oats, and companionship from other animals and humans.
I’m also amazed that this comment, of all of my comments, is one of my most downvoted on lemmy. I thought it was pretty tame and just pointed out the silliness of the meme.
This depends on how you define success.
Edit: Huh, I thought this was a pretty tame comment. I just mean that donkeys likely have a different idea of “success” than people do. I’m not quite sure why this is being taken so negatively. I just thought the meme was kind of silly and dumb.
As I keep telling people, they’re not upset about it because their media aren’t telling them about things like this, at least not in the same terms.
Here’s a really interesting article on how it was discovered that citrus would help. They were also able to preserve citrus and citrus juice with alcohol. They could also turn it into a concentrated syrup without too much loss of vitamin C.
From what I just read, they didn’t do this, but dried citrus, when dried at a cool temperature, retains the majority of its vitamin C.
Complaining that something good isn’t good enough is certainly helpful. Maybe go find somewhere more appropriate to complain about all of the shitty stuff. Let people enjoy the small wins. There are few enough of them right now that spoiling them with doomerism just makes things worse for everyone.
So you’re going to complain that the people who are actually doing something useful aren’t doing enough rather than doing something useful yourself. Seems a little hypocritical.
I was sure you were wrong ant that $150 was just an incentive to be in the program. That battery owners would be paid for their power.
You were right, though. It really is a flat $150 per year. The company who manages the energy from the batteries gets paid for the energy, not the battery owner.
Why do we always need to complain that something good isn’t good enough? Yes, they didn’t solve the world’s problems. They did make a nice step in the right direction.
If a opiate addict went clean for 72 hours for a drug test they would be in very bad shape by the time they get tested again. It would be completely obvious that they are in withdrawal. They would be very anxious, shivering, vomiting, and shitting.
Retesting after 72 hours is a pretty good indicator that someone isn’t using so long as you also observe physical symptoms.
The law there allows the redistricting to happen if there is a majority vote for redistricting. The law also requires at least 2/3 of members to be present to actually hold a vote. So, this is a tactic that can be used by the minority party to avoid a vote happening at all.
Its a weird law. The democrats have only taken advantage of it a few times and, so far, only for votes relating to redistricting or vote suppression. They did this twice in 2003, once in 2021, and again now. All to stop redistricting or voter suppression votes.
Also in 2003. In fact, that time was due to the GOP doing the same redistricting shit they’re doing now!
I get why they’d use something like this to save money and time but, is suspect that correct use would include a human check before charging people.
We need to start pushing for laws on this kind of thing. Automated checks are fine if you, as the company, trust they won’t have too many false negatives. If you aren’t checking for false positives, though, you should be heavily fined for each false report. $25,000 per false report sounds like a good place to start. Hopefully that would be large enough to not just be the cost of doing business.
This is what we need! Less science, more militarized law enforcement!
Overreach? They are sending repair kits to the owners of the pools if they request them. The pool owners aren’t required to do anything and the company whose product played a role in the deaths of nine kids are just sending kits to improve the pool’s safety. This doesn’t sound super onerous for anyone involved.
Also, I’m guessing you don’t have kids if you think that even the most diligent parents can keep tabs on their kids all of the time. I keep a close eye on my toddler, but he certainly is able to get into mischief when I look away for a minute.
I doubt this would happen to me because I do watch extremely closely, but I can’t guarantee that a situation couldn’t come up in which my kid could escape my notice long enough to get into a pool. The numbers of incidents are low because most parents are diligent, but even diligent parents can have lapses.
This is stupid. That said, calling for the FCC to regulate Fox isn’t going to happen. They don’t have jurisdiction over cable channels. Find another way to get fox to hire their aspiring mass murderer.
