The real scary part is the remaining 27%. Where the parents did everything right with sleeping conditions.

Years ago I saw a study that pointed fingers towards nicotine: if you are a smoker or work in smoky environments - even a high nicotine vapers - they suggest to shower and change before handling babies.

I have no data but I'm assuming any kind of smoke (even weed) and any carcinogen can be hurtful.

I looked into learning Mandarin - because it is a good financial decision. I started to learn some of the basic Japanese fonts because it seemed doable and fun.

I could get around with a single alphabet vs 2500 signs.
And don't even start me on the tonal part. I'm considering if I really want to learn Chinese I actually have to think about it as singing and not as a language.

Lastly: I waste my life reading online magas - the Japanese and Korean ones are just higher quality, and I found less than a dozen readable Chinese ones.
Their storyboard is just that foreign - spending panels on things that doesn't make sense translated to English, then skipping important details and just leave me hanging with the story.
And they just span like 400 episodes for no good reason.

But if you have a great adventure /romance / fantasy recommendation that has a good female lead with male characters actually having a personality I am all up for it! Ohh and the story also not just the Palace and harem and eperor bs...

Not ftom different continents, unles $$.

I love this pic, tho it seem like this is actually AI.
There is no info about this image, there is only like 6 pictures of the net. But here is more info of what I found:

This is his wikipedia - no mention of this piece, and here is a high resolution of At the sea På havet, 1883.
More non eglish info, and I also found a deleted Reddit post where people were saying it was an AI generated image - tho I don't speak French....

My family uses it for communication. In the past I managed to get them use the at the time trending tech message apps - skype, viber - there was couple more. But they never checked those.

So if I have to msg them on FB to check their msg somewhere else - that's kinda defeats the reason.

Meta called it that couple days ago.
Not that I am able to stop using them. People stuck still in stone age keeping me there.

If you like suffering like me: you can buy dollarstore seeds and to grow them from scratch.
Every spring they have everything you need to start: pots, crappy soil, seeds and watering can.
Then you can learn the skillz.

I'm honestly struggling growing sorrel from seeds. (Those were more expensive seeds) After it gets to about 4 leaves it just dies.

I'm not necessarily agreeing with this, but this is great.
Very Charlie the Unicorn-esqe!

I like bow everything is the AIs fault. The loss of hobs: AI. The too expensive tokens: Ai. AI hacking systems, AI causing people to go vrazy. The datacenters, ram, gpu everything is blamed on AI.
And not the real culprit: Human greed. Nothing what's going on is the AI's fault. It is a box that does nothing without a human.

Just wanted to say: try not to blame AI for the upcoming crash.
They manipulated the market using marketing for AI, selling empty promises: it is not the aimless random output machine's fault.
It is just a tool being used as a smoke screen so no one will blame big money for what they intentionally caused to happen.

The prompt machines are without agency - it isn't responsible for the human greed that builds these data centers. It isn't responsible for the water they use to keep it going - that's again human intention and greed - AI doesn't deserve being the villain because it is just zeros and ones and not a person.

I loved these music videos! Waited so much to time them to tape them :).
Here is an other from them: Wamdue Project - You're The Reason (HD Remaster)

Interesting article, I liked how the author tried to not judge anything going on - and tried to place in cultural context.
The scope seems a bit small tho - but it conveyed the basic possible ideology behind the art.
