Do Muslim’s really think voting for Muslim ban guy who would give Israel even more weapons a better choice?

One is my name. The other is not.

Depends on location, but I don’t think I’m too bad.

• To the nearest convenience store (more than that, really; a drug store and mini grocery store): 400m
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 2km
• To the bus stop: 100m (but the bus doesn’t go many places
• To the nearest park: 600m (a small park, a much larger one 2km away)
• To the nearest *big* supermarket: 6km
• To the nearest library: 2.5km
• To the nearest train station: 2km for local rail, like 25km for rare intercity trains

It’s the same builders that build the cheap homes

What cheap homes? No one is building those these days, other than maybe Habitat for Humanity and companies making mobile/prefab homes.

Ron was happy to cash a fat Netflix check for his bullshit memoir, now shocked he ignored all the signs Vance was an asshole.

The don’t have a plan to fix ANY crisis. Or problem.

Republicans have only a few plans:

• Tax cuts for the rich
• Appoint conservative judges that will ignore the law in favor their political beliefs
• Ban abortion
• Repeal LQBTQ+ rights
• Send more people to prison
• Fire every liberal in government

But that is just it. When a commercial enterprise is literally saving copyrighted content and car reproduce it on demand, copyright holders have every right to object. Either use public domain materials and/or license copyrighted materials, or don’t try to make money off AI.

I didn’t say that at all. I was responding to OP claiming they don’t memorize content at all.

Not many. And generally not book passages or whole NY Post articles. That’s the point. OP claims it tosses the original, but it doesn’t.

This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages. The AI discards the original text, keeping only abstract representations in “vector space”.

Citation needed. I’m pretty sure LLMs have exactly reproduced copyrighted passages. And considering it can created detailed summaries of copyrighted texts, it obviously has to save more than “abstract representations.”

In Nov 2020, the person that ran things for years died, and control passed to other family members that immediately sued each other.

I’m any case, seems greed likely started to drive everything, they pushed expansion over safety, and wound up killing people.

Your reply “I’m happy to overpay for a kitchen” and “we don’t have that problem in Australia” wasn’t pouty?

Yeah, I wish we had such a law in my US state. But we don’t. But if they want to play those games, I’m not playing along or trying the Australian site. But around here, we do have hotel options with kitchens.

The complaint is showing why the things in the article are happening. People are choosing hotels because they are priced out of short term rentals.

And it depends on where you are. A standard working city, sure. A common vacation destination, it is absolutely an issue.

A chore list is only part of the issue. The costs are rapidly inflating. Hotels are now far cheaper, even on a per room basis. With fees (including pricey cleaning fees and AirBNB/VRBO service fees that are on top of the percentage they take from hosts) rates will double or triple what they quote initially.

Then there are what they have done to neighborhoods. Property speculators have bought up housing and inflated prices for residents, all while damaging local hotels.

It was fine when it was people renting out a room or vacation homes at a reasonable price. I used to rent a tiny 3 season camp cabin in Maine on a lake for $750 a week. It was a guest cabin by an owner occupied 4 seasons home. It’s (and the main house) have since been bought by a wealthy private jet salesman that rents both spots, the cabin now going for over $1,600 a week with fees. They made zero changes down to the furniture, dishes, and towels. This year we are staying a a hotel rental that goes for under $1,000 for the week with no chores and regular maid service.

She was targeted because it was spread falsely she had XY chromosomes and had high testosterone, not that she was North African. Rowling has had plenty of hate for white trans people.

Another thing MBAs have destroyed as they try to slightly increase profits.

Litter wasn’t the problem. It was producing a persistent single use product that has to go somewhere. A landfill is only mildly better than on the side of the road.

Glass bottles, which are far more reusable and recyclable, would be better, not worse.

The famous ad with the Native American crying about litter? It was literally funded by the single use plastic industry to shift the blame from them producing trash to people not throwing things away. Also, the guy was Italian.

Nationalization means the government takes full control of an industry, not merely sets standards on their purchase.

And buyers are able to have any reason they want for their purchase decisions, including optics. It’s still the invisible hand. And besides, I think it’s more than optics to want American tax dollars to go to Americans.

Capitalism doesn’t mean “always buy the cheapest.” It means anyone can sell at any price and quality, and the people choose. And, in my experience, Chinese made goods are often of lower quality, made with poor environmental standards, and produced with questionable labor practices (including outright slave labor).

Considering this only covers US Government purchased flags, this IS the invisible hand of the market. It’s a consumer choosing where they want to purchase products.

And it is t nationalizing the industry. They still will be privately produced. And individual Americans can still by Chinese flags.
