I figure the best way to convince China to stop supporting Russia is to give them a better option. Europe is a bigger economy and more in line with many of China’s goals. Russia is chaotic and weak by comparison.

Replace the US with China

Under 50%, he only got 49% of the vote.

They’re already well on their way.

There were none under Biden either if I remember correctly.

There’s more protests on Monday, and we’re only getting more angry.

Well, if someone changes their name you’d add a new record with the same SSN to hold their new name, that way it keeps the records consistent with the paperwork; old papers say their old name and reference the retired record, new papers use their new name and reference the new record.

You can use the SSN as the key to find all records associated with a person, it doesn’t have to be a single row per SSN, in fact that would make the data harder to manage and less accurate.

E.g. if someone changes their last name after getting married, it could be useful to be able to have their current and former name in the database for reference.

Same cable, same port, I don’t really care what it’s called if the capabilities are the same.

3D is important for stuff like VR, there’s a reason it’s the predominant cable for headsets.

Maybe, but I could see thunderbolt replacing HDMI and display port over time. It can carry video, audio, data, and power simultaneously, and has more bandwidth for additional information like HDR or 3D.

This article is about Gemini, not GPT. The generic term is LLM: Large Language Model.

The door handles were supposed to be more aerodynamic, but other manufacturers have solved the issue more elegantly.

Asking for a solution to the question of what to do with a type of person. That’s the reason the Nazis built concentration camps too.

Turns out you don’t actually need to imprison people in extrajudicial torture camps, you can just treat them with a shred of human decency instead.

Like we’ve been dealing with immigrants for centuries, practically every nation has, we don’t need a ‘final solution’, we can process them individually and find solutions dynamically based on the needs and situation of the individual. Sometimes that means deportation, sometimes it means granting asylum, and sometimes it means working with our allies to find a suitable destination. Imprisoning them in Guantanamo bay is not a solution, it’s a pretense for extermination.

Actually a lot of it is made in the US. Shin Ramen, for example, is from Korea, but all the packages I’ve seen are made in a factory in California.

What do they gain by continuing the war?

It’s hardly in Russia’s interest for their sons to die, their equipment to explode, and their economy to crumble. It’s self destructive, which it has in common with capitalism, but worse than that it’s a genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Plans are in motion. See you at 50501 on Wednesday.

Russia could foil all those plans by simply ceasing the invasion and going home.

By my estimation, of those 126: 80 are a win for X (or whoever goes first), 30 are a win for O (or whoever goes second), and 16 are a stalemate.

So the number of losing positions depends on whether you go first or second.

Good point. There’s only 126 filled arrangements that are valid game states.

There are only like 500 losing tictac toe scenarios max.

Three positions for each square (X, O, or blank), 9 squares: 3^9 = 19,683 possible game states.

Of those there are only 512 combinations where the board is compete: 2^9 = 512

Of those 512, only 16 combinations results in a win for either player. Meaning there are only 8 losing scenarios and 496 stalemate scenarios.

But ‘existing’ is exactly what transphobes take issue with?

The sticker isn’t saying they’re bad because they’re a crybaby bitch, it’s saying that getting upset at other people just for being who they are is crybaby bitch shit.

Though honestly I think that’s a bit unfair to crybaby bitches, who often are just upset over something silly. They’re being hateful bigoted scumbags.
