The whole point of captchas is to train bots. Did you think they were all road object and optical character recognition based because those are the categories humans really excel at?

For example, I used to use generic eye drops. Then there were a bunch of recalls on eye drops made in India because they weren’t kept sterile and people were getting eye infections. So now I make sure to only buy eye drops that are manufactured in countries with actual controls on health codes. It turns out that imposing that restriction elliminated all the generic options. I’m certainly not happy to be paying double for brand name pataday, but I don’t care to mess with the chance of eye infections.

Some alien intern got confused and thought drawing crop circles was supposed to be done on the crops rather than in the fields of crops.

I believe the customary phrase is “pull my finger.”

Imagine thinking that PhD’s and postdocs aren’t exploited by capitalism.

I’ve seen at least a couple different users with that, but I wouldn’t be able to recall their usernames offhand.

The notice really reminds me of the Facebook chain posts where people would post a declaration saying that facebook couldn’t use your data/likeness if you share the post text.

If ai companies are unabashed about scraping and training on copywrited material from litigious companies like the nyt, I really don’t get how anyone convinces themselves that anything they append to their comments would stop a scraper.

It sounds like maybe what you’re actually looking for is a used Lexus. They are toyota drivetrains with luxury bodies.

I see cashiers at aldi open and close lanes after just a little bit all the time. Aldi workers don’t just work the register, they manage stock and cleaning as well. So at my aldi there’s usually one person on a register but they frequently radio for someone else to come when the line starts to back up. The second person was presumably in the middle of another task, and they don’t stick around at all when the backup is cleared. That sometimes means throwing the closed sign on the belt even if someone is approaching the lane.

I personally wouldn’t ascribe motive to the cashiers actions, but I wasn’t there and don’t really have any context.

I’m guessing that you’re seeing the result of the interior lighting being PWM modulated combined with the rolling shutter.

Connect for lemmy allows instance blocking. I don’t see any posts from hexbear and their comments show as hidden unless I tap to show the contents.

I use lactose free whole milk, maple syrup, a generous amount of cocoa, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sometimes a touch of nutmeg.

My wife likes to go really heavy on the cinnamon and adds some cayenne pepper for more of a mexican chocolate style drink.

Delicuous indeed.

Cocoa does contain some caffeine, so people with no tolerance at all might not be able to enjoy it, but it’s something like 10% the amount that’s in coffee.

Try making a rich hot cocoa with a raw cocoa. Cocoa contains theobromine which can give a somewhat similar surge of energy as caffeine, but I find it less harsh.

I had a hard time finding whole bean decaf. Counter culture: slow motion and magnolia coffee co: Brazil decaf are too options that I like fairly well.

My sensitivity to caffeine varies. When it starts to bother me, going to approximately half decaf and half normal beans is a good way to cut the caffeine without having the shock of suddenly switching to decaf only.

You could donate it to some financial literacy nonprofit if you want to be rid of it without feeling dirty.

He was an old guy without a lot of employment options, so getting fired likely had a very negative impact on his quality of life. I know he did it to himself, but it’s the only time where a decision I made was a clear link in the chain of someone else’s life getting significantly worse. It was necessary, but still sucked.

Reported someone for showing up to work drunk. He was fired shortly after. It was justified because in his job, he put others at risk of harm in addition to himself, but it still feels bad.

A bear has time and motivation to keep trying over and over again to get into the garbage. People are generally much less determined to figure it out.

You can only find a screwdriver by first releasing your intent to use it.
