So throw all caution out the window in the absence of evidence? What kind of logic is that?

Thanks. So it sounds like it probably has the same effect as other microplastics? Chemically inert, but can physically cause damage.

I believe the harms that are well known are the environmental impacts and that on people involved in its production. Weighing all of that together, I’ll maintain my policy that I’d never buy a non-stick, but if I happen to have one, I’m not going to toss it and create more waste than is necessary. I mainly keep mine around because other people (e.g. parents) like to use them sometimes when they visit.

Everyone else in the comments are saying Teflon is harmless to consume. Who do I believe?

Probably not someone that a consumer would want to do unless they’re interested in the challenge.

I forgot about the absence of PCIe connectors until jj4211 mentioned it in another comment. That would also be problematic for consumer use. I know it’s possible to do the conversion as I’ve looked into it in the past, but it doesn’t come cheap.

Existing in this world

Is your objection to substitutions? Because that’s a very arbitrary line. Why is it that we call sorbitol a sugar substitute instead of calling sugar a sorbitol substitute? Grind up some plums to make juice, remove the sorbitol, add some sucrose in its place. Doesn’t sound all that different.

He punished published a book about the first segment of his journey, and there are people just throwing money at him because they want to see someone do this.

The datacentre GPUs are also useless for consumers. They don’t have video output.

YouTube has been most reliable for me. If you see someone showing their process/results and multiple people do it the same way, that’s a pretty good indication that it’s worth trying out.

If that’s your idea of reversing the order, then you’re not talking about the same thing as SpaceCadet@feddit.nl. They’re talking about the order of operations and the associativity/commutativity property. You’re talking about the order of the symbols.

Sometimes, that means relying on […] laws

We’re you not just arguing against having laws to disallow stabbing? If not, then I’m not clear on what you mean by “controlling others”.

“Radical acceptance”

Couldn’t this also apply to abuse of power? Accepting that there’s the possibility of bad outcomes, and that’s the cost of certain benefits, like protecting everyone from some easily preventable causes of death. It sounds like maybe what you’re arguing for isn’t that exerting control over others in and way is universally bad, but rather that bodily autonomy needs to be protected above all. But if that’s the case, I don’t understand why you think it’s only acceptable to protect it by not actively doing something that violates bodily autonomy, and why it’s not okay to actively protect bodily autonomy (e.g. preventing others from inserting undesirable sharp objects into your body, whether that be a knife or an injection or anything else).

The Republicans centralized power in the presidency with the USA Patriot act […]

I agree that centralization is power is problematic, but this is a whole other problem independent of bodily autonomy. Unless you’re saying that controlling others is only bad when it’s done by a central power? But you’re also making arguments against mandatory vaccination in general, so I’m still unclear on what your stance is.

And you have to pay for Luol Deng.

Oh, so much. I’m still trying to figure out how to actually complete things.

Tolerance is tangential to humanization. You can be tolerant of a human. You can also be intolerant of a human.

You flipped the sign on the 3 and 1.

Everything else is indeed free here in Canada except for the ambulance. That costs something like $100 per ride. Yes, we complain about it.

but once I’m done, I close them all

Same. But I also have a continuous stream of new projects that never get finished.

Whenever I see the term “consciousness” in a paper, it automatically gets flagged in my head as non-serious. But I work in AI, so maybe that shouldn’t apply to whatever your field is. That brings me to the next problem: I can’t figure out what your field is supposed to be from this paper. It’s lacking the background and prior work sections that would serve to position your work into the greater context of existing work.
