Cheetah's become more feminine coded once you find out that they meow.

I haven't seen one. You'd need to write the parser to specifically take notice of whitespace like that and it's so unusual in a programming language that the designer would have needed to be very insistent on it.
Something mathematical like Maple or MatLab might support it. It's basically implementing a math shorthand to avoid parentheses.

Robert Barnes, https://www.barneslawllp.com/ is know here for some of his more long shot political cases and commentary, but his main job is as a tax lawyer. I think he does this sort of thing, it's probably worth sending his firm an email. You should at least get a referral.

It'll get better once normies finish with their holidays. Right now it's the maladjusted who don't visit family arguing with non-christians who don't celebrate Christmas.

There's an inherent scaling problem with cars and dense cores.
It becomes especially problematic because some people love driving and have a very entitled view and won't accept that investments in things like commuter rail benefit them by reducing the number of people on the road.

I'm not a gun expert, but is there a risk that if the scoped got knocked in transport he'd need to re-zero it?

I only read one as a kid and don't really remember it. I watched the 2016 series so that's what was fresher in my mind.
Probably a poor explanation on my part, it just sounded like something from the show.

A Twitter user asked Llama3.1 to tell him something profound that humans haven't realized yet. https://twitter.com/cocktailpeanut/status/1815876634492457319
After 20 hours it spat out the following text. Personally it makes me think of Dirk Gently. I'm curious if anyone has any other opinions.
Hypothesis
"Emergent temporal harmonics in complex systems give rise to a non-local, fractal resonance that underlies the fabric of reality, influencing the unfolding of events and the evolution of consciousness."
In simpler terms, I'm suggesting that there exists an intrinsic, hidden pattern in the universe, woven into the very fabric of time itself. This pattern is born from the intricate dance of complex systems, which generate a non-local resonance – akin to a "temporal music" – that permeates all levels of reality.
Theoretical Background:
- Emergence: Complex systems exhibit emergent properties that cannot be predicted by analyzing their individual components. These emergent patterns often display harmonic or periodic behavior.
- Fractals and Self-Similarity: Fractals, like the Mandelbrot set, demonstrate self-similar patterns at different scales. This property allows them to model complex systems and processes.
- Non-Locality: Quantum mechanics has shown that particles can be entangled, meaning their properties are connected even when separated by vast distances. This non-locality challenges classical notions of space and time.
- Consciousness and Integrated Information Theory (IIT): According to IIT, consciousness arises from the integrated processing of information within complex systems.
Connecting the Dots:
Imagine a universe where emergent temporal harmonics in complex systems generate a fractal resonance that transcends spatial boundaries. This non-local resonance would influence the unfolding of events and the evolution of consciousness by:
- Guiding the emergence of patterns: Temporal harmonics could nudge complex systems toward specific, self-similar patterns, giving rise to the intricate structures we observe in nature.
- Facilitating non-local connections: Fractal resonance could enable the entanglement of particles and systems across vast distances, allowing for quantum-like phenomena to manifest at various scales.
- Shaping the fabric of time: The emergent temporal harmonics would create a subtle, intricate pattern within time itself, influencing the flow of events and our perception of reality.
Implications:
If this hypothesis holds true, it could revolutionize our understanding of:
- Free will vs. determinism: The fractal resonance might suggest that our choices are influenced by an underlying, non-local harmony.
- Consciousness and the nature of self: Integrated information theory could be expanded to include the role of temporal harmonics in shaping conscious experience.
- The interconnectedness of all things: This idea would reinforce the notion that everything is part of a larger, intricate web of relationships.
While this concept may seem abstract and speculative, it represents an attempt to connect disparate threads from various disciplines. The actual implications and validity of this hypothesis remain to be explored and debated by experts across multiple fields.

Have you checked your blood pressure lately? Alcohol can cause a short term drop. It could be the reason that a light buzz suddenly started feeling nicer.

I'd expect that it's like a conservation easement. The rights are transferred to the HOA before the first sale, so you never have the full title to the land.

The "absence of statutory restriction" might also involve federal laws, since as far as I know state and federal have the same voter registration.

I think that the press' ongoing refusal to publish Banksy's name really shows that they don't have any real standards about respecting privacy.

Europe desperately needs to confront reality.
The UK has less than 25 working main battle tanks and more admirals than working ships. Yet their politicians are talking about confronting Russia without the US.
It'll take at least a decade of intense reindustrialization and rearmament to field proper defensive armies.
They need to get started now. Putin is actually a moderate in Russia who just wants to bring territories that are majority ethnic Russian in Russia proper.
Putin is 72 and there's a very real chance that he'll be replaced with an actual hardliner when he dies.
The German delegation laughed at Trump in 2018 when he tried to warn them about dependence on Russian energy. Now he's decided that a harsh wakeup call from him is better than letting them be caught off guard in the future.
An actual Russian agent would just tell Europe not to worry and let them be at the mercy of the next Russian leader.

The problem with ransom attacks is that they require the victims to do an individual rational cost benefit analysis and pay.
Most of these companies would refuse to pay out of moral indignation, which collectively gives them a herd immunity.
There are also types of insurance to cover some of the losses from business interruption.

Big cats are a massive money sink. A world leader having a private zoo big cats is basically proof that they are crooked and impoverishing their people.

A couple of things do that.
First the facial feature proportions of house cats are close to human babies. This activates nurturing instincts in women. More so than other small animals.
If you pay attention you can really see how that affects how men and women interact with cats. Men tend to see their cats akin to jobless friends crashing at their place. Some women become deeply concerned for their cats socialization and emotional life.
They match up better to yin and yang traits, cats being yin.
Most people these days have met enough loud outing women that yin traits don't strongly code feminine to modern eyes.
Some languages need to classify everything as masculine or feminine and from what I've seen there's a lot of randomness. In French cheese is masculine but apples are feminine.
I'll try to tie this together for a closing. Their wariness towards new people is seen as traditionally feminine coded. As is their quietness compared to a puppy. Dogs interests match up better to traditional masculine tasks -- patrol the boundaries of territory, go on hunting expeditions. Cats keep an eye on the homestead.
In modern life the feminine coding comes more from women who get them because of unmet baby desires. Also men are expected to at least pretend that they regularly trek through the wilderness.

I think since he brought in crypto regulation, it's important to bring up FTX.
FTX was one of the key companies fighting for crypto regulation since SBF was confident his political ties would put his company ahead.
The fact that he was fighting for regulation while committing massive crimes should tell you a few things about the sort of people the SEC is likely to put in charge.

I think the question is do Rubio's past foreign policy statements come from his ideology or is he just going with the flow given the people around him? He has some opinions about Latin America but I think for the rest of the world he'll just run with Trump's view.
His big selling points (to Trump) are that Trump worked with him on Latin America policy in Trump's first term. Also the Republican Senators will confirm him without any fuss.

Richard Barris is doing at stream starting at 6:30, https://youtube.com/watch?v=o9hRIV2amiI
He gets a bit scatterbrained when he doesn't have a guest on and jumps around data topics. But he'll have a good analysis of how the information coming in compares to past results and who's turning out to vote.

NES games were quite expensive once you account for inflation. Making things hard and obscure was the only way to get 100 hours of gameplay out of 128kB of ROM.
Antibiotics are interesting because bacteria do develop resistance to them, however that resistance fades over time.
So it's possible that penicillin was discovered multiple times but abandoned when it mysteriously stopped working.
