There is no room for a third Party in a FPTP voting system as per Duverger’s Law. I think its likely the party would never take off, no matter how sensible it’s positions are. And even in the best case of it slowly growing while eating away at the democrats to eventually have a majority: during the time it takes to get there, elections would just be an easy republican win every time, as the ‘left half’ is split between bernie and status quo. I don’t think that’s worth it.

I think talking with his boss, your boss and HR (possibly all in one meeting) sounds like a reasonable first step. If it doesn’t work out or help, I’d try talking to him. You could get one or two coworkers as backup to come with you, just to make his personality issues less threatening. If this doesn’t work or maybe even make it worse, you could get some earplugs or ANC headphones to make it less of an issue for you. Good luck!

Next, the guy behind you can pay to block your seat. Final step is to start an auction to see who is willing to pay more to either recline or block my seat. Now the airline can make even more money!

this is the way

It’s not really a good point, it’s just classic cherrypicking. Jesus himself said in Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” so clearly the old testament law should still apply. Christians are just faced with the reality that they could not live their life in accordance with old testament law in todays age, and have therefore chosen to ignore laws from the old testament.

I think this is just worded poorly. What they meant is that you can trade in an iPhone 13 Pro or newer, and when you trade in an iPhone, you can get up to $1100. That doesn’t mean you’ll get $1100 for an iPhone 13 Pro, just that you can get $1100 for probably a 16 Pro, but 13 Pro owners still get something instead of nothing.

reminded me of the meme "Switch up your swear words. Keep them potent.

Call someone a piece of fuck. Tell them to go shit themselves.

Keep the magic alive."

Replace the last speech bubble with this meme and it works again.

We’re all crossing our fingers for a swift and full recovery for that little cutie!

The math part of the state-wide high school final exam is always what causes most students to fail.

In the months leading up to the exam, once a week one very talented math teacher took a few hours of his own time to tutor everyone who wanted to attend. He went through previous final exams and explained how to approach them and did the calculations step by step. He did this every year for the multiple decades he worked there.

There is no doubt in my mind that he saved many students from failing those exams, and that brought him a lot of respect both among students but also colleagues.

I’m interested in how they’ve allegedly achieved this working without anyone but you having access to the unencrypted messages.

Don’t get me wrong, I want none of this shit in a messaging app, but I’m at least interested in how that is supposed to work.

I’m a bit torn on this. On one hand: obviously LLMs do this, since they’re essentially just huge pattern recognition and prediction machines, and basically any person probing them with new complex problems has made that exact observation already. On the other hand: a lot of everyday things us humans do are not that dissimilar from recognizing patterns and remembering a solution, and it feels like doing this step well is a reasonable intermediate step towards AGI, and not as hugely far off as this article makes it out to be.

This is the language equivalent of the “I have a small issue with this software.” - “Have you tried switching your OS to Linux and using a FOSS alternative?” conversation lol

Big Pretzel is probably way to busy keeping the tasty European baked goods away from the Americans instead of spending time on proper Pretzel rotation. Also, every kid knows that pretzel sticks have a top and bottom, don’t be ridiculous! :P

Number 2 is not upside down. There seems to be no real consensus on what is “up” for a pretzel, but one alleged origin indicates that the pretzel was shaped after praying hands in the middle ages, which would mean 2 is right side up. Also, when they are made in a bakery, due to how the technique is done, they are placed like in 2, and that direction is also reflected on some more traditional bakery signs.

Cats are a bit like very good friends: doing their best to annoy you when they can, but also doing their best to help you when you need it the most.
