They are not vital. Almost no countries in the world practice trial by jury other than The US, the UK, Australia, Canada, and Ireland. The US is the only country in the world that uses trial by jury for civil cases.

The law is complex and nuanced. Most people lack the understanding and background to apply the law justly and uniformly. It is an antiquated idea that should go.

It’s only body shaming if they actually have small penises

My boss bought a mining claim west of Fort Collins. I can confirm you are correct.

And Asimov spent years and dozens of stories exploring exactly those kinds of edge cases, particularly how the laws interact with each other. It’s literally the point of the books. You can take any law and pick it apart like that. That’s why we have so many lawyers

The dog example is stupid “if you think about it for one minute” (I know it isn’t your quote, but you’re defending the position of the person the person I originally responded to). Several of your other scenarios are explicitly discussed in the literature, like the surgery.

I’m game. I’ve thought about them since I first read the iRobot stories in 1981. Why don’t they make sense?

Sorry, I didn’t find the self hosting option when I looked at the site. I see it now. Thanks!

What part of that is self hosted?

That’s what unit tests are for

Maybe we can ask ai how to make more power so there can be more ai. But then, when it tells us, we just mine more crypto. Fuck ai. Crypto won’t murder us.

Every time you see it you kick it closer to the shopping list on the refrigerator. Just like the cardboard tube of the toilet paper you replaced with the last roll

Lede has a very specific meaning and is seldom used outside of journalism, lead is perfectly acceptable in common vernacular

Angel Heart. We discussed what happened in that movie for weeks while returning to the theater at least once more each, some three times

Never use --force or --hard and it’s very difficult to use data that you have committed.

As long as you offer a 10 year replacement warranty that’s perfectly fine. Tandem was great about replacing my daughter’s failed insulin pump.

My 6th grade class took a field trip from Biloxi MS to New Orleans to see the visiting Tutankamon exhibit in 1977. It was the first real museum I’d visited, plus we’d spent the semester studying Egyptian history.

You make really good points. But I’m going to call out this point…

But because Starbucks currently offers non-dairy milk, those options are subject to the ADA, specifically:

Oat milk is not milk. It’s a completely different product made from grain, not mammals. If I’m lactose intolerant at a bar can I request vodka? It has about as much relation to cow’s milk as oat milk. In fact, I think vodka arguably closer to oat milk than cow’s milk. The only reasonable one for one replacement for cows milk is lactase treated cow’s milk. Anything else is not comparable.

Or, what if Starbucks stocked lactase treated goat’s milk. Is that a substitute for cow’s milk? It’s much more similar to cow’s milk than oat milk.

I hear Arkansas is great

What if the dairy substitute was 10x the cost of real milk, I know it isn’t, but what if it were. Or even 100x, just for argument. Are you entitled to get that for the same price?
