In the case of AI reviving dead people, I'd say that's never ethical. Death happens. People need to deal with it in healthy ways, not try to keep people's voices alive artificially. Using their voice without them actually speaking the words means companies can put words in their mouths they'd never actually say, and revise positions/beliefs they may have held in life.

Does this address if the number of new games on steam has doubled or even tripped? My guess is that vibe coded slop games are skewing the stat quite a bit

I believe the Seattle Public School District (among other entities) are suing because of exactly that (and, you know, the state mandated sexual assault if you're a girl who wants to play sports). Fingers crossed the law gets shitcanned ASAP

Note how pretty much every major piece of software has gotten less reliable and less user friendly in the last few years. There might be a connection...

The SEATAC airport has a few non-gendered restrooms and they're pretty nice. There's a big shared area with sinks, a wall of "stalls" (really fully enclosed toilet rooms, no panel gaps and floor to ceiling doors), and a separate room off in the back with urinals (and an automatic sliding door). Kinda seems like a pretty good solution all around.

Coming from outside this specific community, I'd be happy to see those posts come across my feed! Second the opinion to not post them all at once, but maybe daily or weekly, perhaps spaced out so that you catch up with current adventures and make it more of a real time diary! Just a thought; more content and community is always a good thing!

Idk about the monologues and the actual live shows, but the sketches that end up on YouTube afterwards are consistently hilarious. Could always be confirmation bias (only the good ones end up on YouTube) but they're still great.

Of course! If you do to the caffeine powder route, please do what the other commenter also recommended: get an mg scale and dose carefully. Coffee normally runs in the ~60 - 300mg range, depending on number of shots, etc. Going too far above can be dangerous, depending on your individual tolerance, height, weight, etc.

Basically, do some research, figure out what a safe amount for your individual situation is, and go slow. Don't dump spoonfuls of powdered caffeine into your tea because of some idiot's recommendation online.

At the end of the day, what you need to do is either drink a lot more of it, or concentrate it somehow.

Just guessing wildly (no idea if these ideas would work), but the best options I see are to cold brew it (put in water in fridge and let steep overnight). Cold brew coffee tends to be higher in caffeine than normal brew, so it might work the saw for tea. Might also make the tea insanely bitter, idk. Second would be to essentially distill your tea. After it's done steeping, take the tea out and boil it more, until most of the water is gone. Repeat a few times until you have a lot of boiled down tea and then drink it. This might get disgusting quick, but would be effectively the same to drinking multiple cups, just with less overall liquid.

Or, I suppose, buy a kilogram of pure caffeine powder and add a few mgs to your tea for an extra boost (maybe that's more acceptable than energy drinks?).

Hope these ideas help! Just some off-the-cuff suggestions I've never tried

It is literally always cheaper for the government to hire people to do the job than it is to contract it out. If anyone in Congress or the White House actually cared about bringing down government spending, or about waste, fraud, and abuse, they'd take an axe to the contracting world. Bring jobs back to the public sector. You'd save money and the work would get done quicker and better. Plus, you can actually hold people accountable for mistakes, unlike contracting.

I've had reasonable luck with Alaska Airlines the two times I've tried it, and Fedex once, I think.

I think a blue AG in addition to Blue Gov is the real recipe for change in the state. They might actually be able to slow down, and hopefully reverse, some of the worst things companies are doing to the state
