He has said that wind turbines cause cancer. He also said they make noise that bothers people and drives whales insane. He has also said that they kill birds, as if their spinning draws birds into the blades. But most of all, he thinks they're ugly.

There's actually some truth to the bird thing. Some of the first wind turbines in the 1980s had very short blades, 5-10 feet, and would spin at ~50rpm, sort of like a spinning baseball bat, ready to strike birds out of the air. Combined with not being very high off the ground, maybe 40 feet, birds would take off from the ground directly into the very fast spinning blades. Modern wind turbines neither look nor act like these early turbines, but that's where the data comes from. They only just retired those fast spinning, low to the ground turbines in like ~2017. Something like 80-95% of all bird strikes came from ~35 essentially prototype wind turbines, and virtually none come from modern, huge slow spinning turbines.

I would use "saccharine" or "Pollyanna" based on some of the responses I get.

Early on, ChatGPT could be tricked into being sarcastic and using many swear words. I rewrote the prompt and dialed it back a bit. It made ChatGPT have a sense of humor. It was refreshing when it stopped acting like it was reading a script like a low level technician at Comcast.

Yeah, it's two dimensional. One axis goes from good to evil. The other axis, chaotic to lawful.

There's a secret third dimension you can ascend to through a hole in the neutral middle where the forces of the other two axes cancel out. 'The Elites' doesn't want you to know this.

Heh Heh Heh, the D&D standard approach. ;)

I remember when publishers were suing individuals using nothing more than a list of IP addresses. Those crazy times seem to have come around again.

It's still being done

Android also has the feature of warning the user if an update is coming from a different source than what is installed. This will happen even if they have the same key. This reply isn't trying to argue against anything you've said. I am just adding to the list of how Android handles updates.

I think you missed the point that judges aren't part of the legislative branch. They're in the judicial branch.

Please allow me to correct my bad English and replace it with "the law circle".

Now it's living out the dream of many IT workers, to quit and work on a farm. Unfortunately, as an LLM, it has to hire humans to do the actual work.

I looked it up. It was surprising to see that it's written left to right in basically the Latin alphabet with a few changes.

Then Microsoft can do the exact opposite sometimes. The drive cleanup option used alright, but then I noticed that it now wants to clear the Downloads library. I don't know about everyone else, but I put more than temporary files there.

I'm on Android 14 and I've been pretty happy with an app called Insular on F-Droid or Island on the Play Store. It let's you install as many instances of an app as you'd like and they'll show up in the work profile, ignorant of the others' existence.

it's a frontend to work profiles feature.

not recommended to run insular anymore. use Shelter for a14
