Even if that turned out to be the case (very unlikely) you can always take your life jacket off if at some point you find it’s causing a problem. Just a squeeze on each clip and it’s off

They do make CO2 mosquito attractor traps. I don’t have any experience with them, but i can tell you that they do exist.

Then I don’t understand what your point is as a reply to my original comment. I said “no video you see can ever be believed again”, and you reply with “well you can post your own videos on a self-hosted service”. I don’t see how that follows as a response to my original comment.

EDIT

I think you seem to be under the impression that ai videos are somehow locked onto only being on YouTube. That isn’t the case. Anyone can go to any Veo ai generation site, write a prompt, and it’ll generate a video of that in an mp4 file which they can upload to any video sharing platform. All mp4 files are the same thing, regardless of whether they were made by a video camera or ai.

It doesn’t matter where you view videos, the output from the ai generators is just an mp4 file that can be uploaded anywhere

Omg i just checked out Veo 3, and videos can never be believed again. I mean it couldn’t in the past either, but at least you had to have technical video editing skills or the money to pay someone who does. But now any schlub can just type a dumb text prompt and the machine will generate an extremely realistic looking video of exactly what you wrote. Insane. Absolutely insane.

How are we this far in the future right now?!

I can install apps well enough, but I’m very techie, the general population isn’t gonna be able to do it reasonably

Interesting hypothesis

“The East Coast” generally means the north east. “The South” is all the states in the south eastern corner of the country, including the coastal states down there. (Where the borderline is between them depends entirely on who you ask)

Interestingly, the percent of Windows goes down if you look at just the United States, where it’s only 63% of OSes. And it also goes down similarly when you set it to the UK, or North America, or almost any other region. But it goes up to around 73% when you limit it to Europe or Asia. Weird, why is it higher in those areas?

Me fail reading.

Not even then. For example the biggest Linux distribution in use is Ubuntu, and it doesn’t have flatpak built in. So even if a flatpak of an app is available, a user of Ubuntu would have to already understand what a flatpak is, and already know that it would make the app installable on Ubuntu, and know that flatpak itself can be installed separately, and know how to use a different install method already just to get the flatpak system onto their computer in the first place

I use Linux regularly, and the last time i installed an app was probably within the past 365 days

installation of software on Linux is very bad. Literally everything else on Linux is very ready for the mass market, but installing apps is horrible to the point of making the whole OS not ready for the general public

Again, I’d need to know the context. Was the person a sex addict? Were they in a contest with their friend to see who could have sex with the most people? Etc etc etc? 99.99% of people don’t get anywhere near 1000 sex partners, so for me I’d need to know the context that led up to that result

Context not included, the number itself doesn’t matter, but the context with the number can potentially matter. For example if they had sex with 50 people and thought they were in love with most of them, then how can i feel like their love for me is real and going to last? But if they had sex with 1000 people when they were being sex trafficked against their will, then (aside from concerns about possible related trauma) the number wouldn’t matter at all.

Can you describe more specifically these differences in how you were treated?

No! It’ll start a new pandemic!!! /s

But you can’t do this to earth’s sun without causing catastrophic changes on earth, so you have to reach a different star before doing this. Blocking out even like 1% of the sun’s energy from reaching earth would likely wreak havoc on the earth

Exactly, this won’t be worth looking into before we have interstellar travel, and that is probably a very very long time away

Sure, but if there are ONLY multi-leg flights then that doesn’t show us if direct flights are cheaper or more expensive
