The profit margins are that high - or its for an item that’s likely going to encourage sales of a higher margin item.

I’m not certain - but I’d mention that because wigs lie directly against the scalp they tend to have less airflow. Hats that are designed for hot weather usually try and minimize how much material is actually touching your skin.

Yes. Just fucking drink tea if coffee creeps you out.

Go down to your local grocery store, start yelling “I’ll kill you all” and then rush at random customers.

Terrorism accomplished.

As an example… fox news.

I work as a software developer and pretty much everywhere it’s an open door on any outfit you want. I’m a man and regularly wear skirts to the office and conferences without anyone batting an eye.

A VPN may protect you. It depends if you trust the host. Even with a trusted VPN, however, dedicated snooping at the exit node may secretly reveal my deep love of furries.com - thank god that’s a secret though.

* with a slight hiccup since nearly all web traffic is sent over HTTPS now - this distinction was a lot more significant ten years ago.

Just to de-analogy this a bit for clarity… with a VPN you can see that there is traffic but not what that traffic is…

The confusing thing is that the world is now running SSL by default so even with a proxy that traffic is hidden to intermediaries… so the distinction means a lot less than it once did.

Better - I don’t give a shit about richer/poorer because the quality of life is clearly higher and that’s the only reason to care about wealth.

Food prices are extremely reasonable and often below American prices.

European cities are also safer not because there isn’t crime but because the design creates a lot more continuous safe spaces where there are plenty of witnesses and other folks.

Lastly, European Healthcare is much better in terms of cost and quality but if you need something that you can’t get done or done in a timely fashion it’s harder to afford health care tourism.

Probably not but gosh I hope so.

Because the separation of church and state in America is constantly under attack and there’s a large political movement to make America officially Christian.

Did you grow up and have deep familial bonds with your clone? Accidental reproduction isn’t a consideration because your clone will match your sex.

They’re here, you can find them if you look in the right places - however, most fediverse admins are technically apt and left leaning so Trump bullshit often gets folks banned and, when it doesn’t, they usually get a very negative response.

Now ask it how many r’s are in Strawberry!

No, a large part of what “good code” means is correctness. LLMs cannot properly understand a problem so while they can produce grunt code they can’t assemble a solution to a complex problem and, IMO, it is impossible for them to overtake humans unless we get really lazy about code expressiveness. And, on that point, I think most companies are underinvesting into code infrastructure right now and developers are wasting too much time on unexpressive code.

The majority of work that senior developers do is understanding a problem and crafting a solution appropriate to it - when I’m working my typing speed usually isn’t particularly high and the main bottleneck is my brain. LLMs will always require more brain time while delivering a savings on typing.

At the moment I’d also emphasize that they’re excellent at popping out algorithms I could write in my sleep but require me to spend enough time double checking their code that it’s cheaper for me to just write it by hand to begin with.

If you’re genuinely asking… the yes option. But that is indeed a shitty ass UI.

My answer comes from the “thumb print” effect - that radial shadow pattern is supposed to remind the user of their finger partially blocking the light on an illuminated button.

You don’t. You die ignorant like we all do.

Just wear a… well, why wear anything tbh.

There was a gigantic scandal where I grew up in Boston in the 90s/00s… it brought a lot of claims out of the woodwork and it turns out that priests diddle a lot of young kids and it’s fucking awful.
