On a general note: IQ means nothing. I mean a lot of IQ tests use pattern recognition tasks that can be helpful but still, having a high IQ says nothing about you ability as developer

to put this another way… expertise is superior to intelligence. Unfortunately we have this habit of conflating the two. intelligent people some times do some incredibly stupid things because they lack the experience to understand why something is stupid.

Being a skilled doctor or surgeon doesn’t make you skilled at governance. two different skillsets.

one of the quirks of main coons is apparently, that they like being shoulder cats. More cat than shoulder, really. (not that that’s a complaint. just an observation)

Cat Dad? Bearded Cat Mom?

Just two questions. what does it pay… and do I have to grow a beard?

Studies clearly show that a person who has cheated once is 3-10 times more likely to cheat again. It depends on the study, but the most generous 3x in the next five years.

So, as someone who’s been cheated on… I can say with certainty that I would never be able to be intimate or vulnerable with my ex. I’m not talking about sex. I’m talking about actual intimacy. It takes trust, and that trust has been broken.

I wouldn’t give an absolute “don’t do it” because everyone is different and every relationship is unique, and I certainly wouldn’t chime in without being asked, but I doubt very much the relationship you have now will ever be what you had before.

It doesn’t really matter what you do, or how you’ve changed. The thoughts will still be there, insidiously causing doubt.

Technically, you can give your senator some input and tell them how to vote. They can also call in witnesses and get commentary.

The point about scotus being appointed is that it’s still a political process, they’re still doing politics.

So, you can see how they’ve made rulings on various topics. All of that is public record.

What really happens is people make lists and say “we like this judge” for various interests, or like news agencies might give an overview of what they found on rulings, etc.

IMO it is a bit weird since it makes them political, but they’re going to be political anyways, since the alternative in the US is appointing them. (See, for example, SCOTUS nomination hearings.)

Most AR systems aren’t going to be comfortable enough for, say, data entry jobs, mind. VR has come along way (anyone remember virtual boy?) but it does get taxing.

Depending on implementation, it’s also going to potentially have problems with shitty display quality, power/battery life, heat, etc.

You could also use a portable projector for a display. A smart phone is optimized for being a smart phone, though, and a desktop workstation is optimized for that.

Where AR tech is going to be useful is more for things like overlaying directions or providing virtual signage, or stuff. But that’s going to require some new form of UX design that’s optimized for that.

Also, for the record, the google glass headset sucked. Its display was like staring at whatever people did for power point slides in the 80’s. (I’m not that old, someone else is gonna have to chime in.)

It really is, yes.

We should protect them at all costs.

Check with your states Secretary of State. There’s usually a list of elections there.

Might also have to check with your city/county.

Local libraries also typically provide information like that as a service.

(and they won’t even talk about 9. they act like it doesn’t exist!)

Phones… are computers.

They just have a different set of input and output. Phones will never fully replace desktops and no, they won’t merge into one thing. (Microsoft tried this to some extent with windows 8. The thing is, for some things kbm is the best method and for others, cell phones tap and swipe are.)

If there’s comparable oceans, tides would get a bit chaotic. Unless they’re pretty much balancing themselves out- their orbits would basically have to be circular and their mass balanced with their barycenters all in the same place. If the orbits are different (which is almost certainly true), then the tides get weird fast. (Think like super tides where all the moons are in alignment.)

Also the moons would muck about with things like satellites orbiting, and probably have chaotic orbits themselves as they push and pull on each other. (For example the moon doesn’t have a stable gravity field, as satellites orbit it, it pulls them out of neat orbits.)

2 suns would depend on a few things- how far and what stellar type? Is it a relatively stable binary or is one ingesting the other?

If they’re fairly stable and not spitting out angry stellar winds, and your planet is in the Goldilocks zone, your seasons would get whonky, especially if you orbit both stars or you mostly orbit one star and get pulled around in whonky ways by the second.

You can have some really weird shaped (and stable!) orbits that would change seasons and day night cycles in some ways. (You could even have an orbit that’s just in a line, bouncing between them, or bean-shaped orbits, etc. random loops added in when your planet gets too close.)

The chaotic orbits might strip moons off (and maybe they come back.)

You might have weird religions.

Maybe reach out to your state AG before going the small claims court. Report them for anti-consumer behavior. Frequently, the notice saying they’ve received a complaint and asking for what’s up is enough to get them to change tune immediately.

Is that not therapy?

I mean, it does sound like a bad idea™. I certainly can understand why cats wouldn’t like it. I actually thought it was a “bad kitty squirt gun” blaster, lols.

You sound like maybe you enjoyed the discs a little too much.

You wouldn’t be a cat, perchance?

Sous vide doesn’t happen at 98 f, 37c.

You don’t start killing off bacteria until 130f, 54c, which is the ‘real’ point of cooking. (oh there’s also texture reasons, making it more palatable. but generally we cook foods so it’s safe to eat.)

Generally, the only things you’d prepare at lower than 130f, are things that don’t have a problem with bacteria- whole plants and vegetables. Which is why cut up fruits and veggies are meant to be refrigerated- this stalls off the bacterial growth that the plant can’t stop because it’s barrier to do that has been removed.

but no. Chopping off a bicep or something won’t cook at your core body temperature- and in point of fact, your surface temp is actually much lower.

I’m awake… and I happen to have a fair number of cat toys that aren’t being used regularly… no need to wake your human…

School boards are an elected, political position.

Militias are an illegal organization.

There’s a gulf of difference between the two.

There are also plenty of elected politicians that aren’t awful people. Especially at the state legislative level.
