He wasn’t slow on lowering interest rates, he was slow to raise them. Back under Biden they should have raised rates faster to offset the rising inflation.

However, under Trump there isn’t any evidence yet that rates should be lower. In fact the Fed board has been split on raise/lower/hold rates, due to persistent inflation (due to tariffs and crazy economic policy) and a slowing economy (due to tarrifs and crazy economic policy). Basically, with an admin dead set on ruining the economy, doing anything with the rates seems likely to just accelerate things from bad to worse.

Especially since he’s been attacking the Fed since his first term as president. Like this isn’t even really an escalation.

Really reinforces that most people don’t pay attention to politics.

I think it could have been done well if you had the conflict from Danerys and Cersei basically leave humanity open to the whitewalkers invasion. Essentially set up the fall of man due to a power struggle.

Would have worked a bit with the overall narrative that the game of thrones doesn’t matter if there is nothing left to claim at the end.

That’s an issue you can run into with many classics. Either they did something so well it’s become a trope, or the artistry in it has been refined so much that the original feels like a poor imitation.

A great example in film is Citizen Cane. It used a lot of ground breaking approaches for cinematography and sound design, but those things aren’t ground breaking anymore, so watching it now doesn’t have the same “excitement”. A more modern example might be Toy Story; the animation doesn’t look too impressive by modern standards, but was ground breaking at the time.

More like “dodge” at that point

Yeah, if I’m making something “masked/obscured” I should export it so that it’s in a raw format. That way there is no Metadata or information that could be leaked by accident.

Think of the Trump Epstein files, in those they kept them as pdfs so you could just unhighlight the redacted sections. If they had export it as a jpeg/png you wouldn’t be able to extract any information.

There are ways to remove the content from a pdf, but as we’ve seen, that leaves rooms for errors.

I mean, it also sounds pretty close to flog which is a bdsm thing.

If the image/video just has black pixels on the content, then there would be no information to extract and any attempt would just be filling things in.

When you talk about layers, you’re assuming that the creator left information behind in the Metadata, which wouldn’t require AI to extract.

D&D: world is broken let’s adventure

Not just the students, but clearly the university itself. I just hope more people use these incidents to inform their decisions about where to go to school. Once you let personal opinions and religion get in the way of the pursuit of knowledge, then you might as well not bother being a school anymore.

I think what’s stupid is there isn’t a way to force it to upgrade manually.

I mean none of this is new. People just didn’t care, they literally released a tape where he admitted to forcing himself on women during his 2016 campaign.

I mean the average person doesn’t even see 30,000 days in their lifetime. At the rate of one a day, lightning is more of a threat to people - https://www.neuralword.com/en/education-history-science-general-culture-society/science-nature/how-many-people-are-striked-by-lightning-annually-around-the-world.

Even if the hand existed, the odds of you even knowing someone who died by it are really slim.

Cause the issue isn’t how people are represented, but that money means more representation. Doesn’t matter if it was straight democracy or democratic republic, it ain’t really either if people with money get more representation.

I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

Yeah, people always seem to forget that it’s about what you can purchase, not the $ amount. Similar to living in a city vs a rural area, the cost of food/housing varies widely even in the same country.

I mean, there is definitely something wrong with Trump, he’s almost 80.

I guess you could argue that what’s wrong with him doesn’t affect his ability to lead, but personally he hasn’t been mentally fit to lead for a long time now.

Supply Side Jesus!

The question is, could democrats actually do something if they got a supermajority?

Realsitically no, but if they did future elections may look very different.

I mean history is full of different sects of a religion going to war with each other (or at least hating each other).
