You cherry picked one line from an article that does talk about alcohol’s harms, including in the opening paragraph.

Not to mention the “growing skepticism of alcohol’s benefits” is also accurate because there have been cases over the years where some study will come out saying it’s better to drink a little than not at all (despite awareness of many of alcohol’s harms, but they were blamed on drinking in excess) and people have been growing more skeptical of those lately.

Belief in those benefits drove a different kind of drinking (like a glass of wine with dinner habit) than a lack of awareness (or denial) of the harms (which can lead to more severe alcoholism involving frequently drinking to get drunk). By addressing both the awareness of harms and skepticism of benefits, it’s showing that both of those groups are on the decline.

Implying they are selling products they know you are likely to be unsatisfied with.

I wash my car every time it rains!

Act surprised and a bit concerned, get a few details and then pretend that I also had the same dream but from the other perspective.

Baby: Also what the fuck is “click”, “every”, “image”, “that”, “has”, “a”, “in”, “it”, “what”, “the”, “fuck”, “is”, “also”, and “and”?

Baby probably doesn’t even realize it’s a participant and not just an observer yet.

I find your pride in your skepticism confusing. Why even bother commenting?

No, Sebulba was one of the positive influences Anakin Skywalker had in his early life.

You mean Sequin Pants.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, I don’t think such an AI exists in any game, even if some Fallout games have some things like that scripted in.

I want to play a game one day where it has a character AI good enough to be able to point out something like that and have it affect the flow of that character’s story.

“Oh hum… you… make a good point. Ok, pivoting: let’s block out the sun but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays!”

Yeah, though I don’t really like the ones that can be missed by playing the game too well, like the “die to boss x times”.

It gives a point of reference for the others. Though it should probably just be the base for calculating the other percentages.

How much were eggs on Epstein’s island?

Yeah though at least they won’t be in fear of their own lives in the moment.

Though proper prevention is the best option. It’s probably only a matter of time before a shooter goes in with strategy and tactics to take advantage of the chaos in such a situation.

Or if it could handle a case where someone manages to disarm a shooter and tries to turn their weapons on a second shooter.

Though I don’t have any confidence someone in that case would survive cops either, assuming they don’t just sit outside.

Heh, on that note, how well will the automated drones be able to differentiate shooters from police? Especially if it ends up being an off duty officer like in the case where they just sat around outside.

The sun is so bright that even when a sliver of it is still showing, it’s blinding. So a partial eclipse, even at 99%, just looks like the sun only a crescent instead of a circle. Oh and the shadows can look funny and you might notice it’s a bit darker.

Then you get to totality and it is something new. It gets noticeably darker, first of all, but in a different way than normal. Not like a storm or night, it’s eerie and hard to explain.

But you can also look at the sun without protection. And you don’t see any of the main disc itself but you get a clear sight of what’s around it: the waves of plasma coming off of the sun, moving while you watch.

After seeing totality, partial eclipses are now meh. In fact, once totality ended, there was still like an hour of partial eclipse left, but I didn’t care, it was time to drive home. I won’t even bother looking at future partial eclipses at home in the future, but I might fly out to a future total one. Seeing one made me understand how people who knew about them back in the day could use that to control those who didn’t. It feels profound.

Or on the cheaper side, ceramic knives. I’ve got one a decade old now and it still has its original edge, though it did lose a chip.

Edit: Just make sure it’s actually ceramic and not one of those scam normal cheap knife with white coating/paint.

Could even just be their policy to try that all the time (or some random % of the time) and just back down any time a customer pushes back. Which is fucked up, but they might have never actually fought you on it because it was just meant to get free money from those who wouldn’t push back and just pay it.

Are any of them actually profitable or are they still in the “drive established competitors out of business with unsustainably low prices” phase?

So what then is the difference between the boneless chicken wing cooking style and normal chicken wing cooking style? If it starts with “take a piece of chicken meat without any bones”, then what stops this line of argument from saying that it doesn’t matter how well they follow the recipe and thus restaurants can serve whatever they want to meet any order and then just say “we were following the (name of food) cooking style, not promising that, and are just bad at following that style or made up our own version”?

On a related note, how are judges determined to be qualified to make any decision? Are they supposed to be fair and intelligent, or just do their best to judge things in a fair and intelligent style?

That said, there was a bit of a fluke involved to have the bone go down the wrong way and also him not even notice for a few days. IMO in a proper decision, the restaurant shouldn’t have been fully liable for this incident, though they should have had some liability for that bone. And then some of that liability might be passed on to whoever provided them with the “boneless” chicken meat.
