I was thinking that header image in the liveflightstracker link was AI Slop, then one of us had a stroke in the bottom left. Weather avoidance, geopolitical restrictions, air traffic control reroute, another geopolitical restrictions, and THEIS PERVES ON CONROLL MEFTIGN LIN£AION GARE OFFIANOSI/NE

Stick with the antipode link and the interactive map to understand the normal curve of a straight line across a sphere represented on a flat map. The liveflightstracker link just mentions a bunch of generic reasons, has no picture to help describe the flat/sphere translation, and adds nothing particularly useful to the route in question. The route takes a J shape where the initial leg is straight, not even slightly curved as it should be. The actual answer likely lies in some combination of standard flight routing and avoiding certain countries.

Well, bad news fridges still won't last long and it has nothing to do with Ai or smart features. The industry has downsized the cooling systems for efficiency and environmental factors while making things quieter. The result is higher duty cycles and insulated system compartments generally leading to shorter compressor lifespan.

But yes, I generally agree. I'm not a smart device customer.

There is desire and benefit in these things being smart devices and AI is just the stupid label slapped on every smart device after 2024. A benefit of a smart washer is that it can, theoretically, do a more thorough and more efficient job of washing various amounts, sizes, thicknesses, and materials in the load by measuring water usage, balance, weight, and output water condition. A smart fridge can, theoretically, do some lofty things that aren't nearly as desired as just being a media hub. Streaming videos, reordering groceries on Amazon, displaying recipes, displaying weather, displaying pictures, etc - really mor elike a tablet stuck to the fridge.

Implementation of said benefits is a different story. They are obviously consumer surveillance devices with sales pitches to make them "the best" faster than the competition.

If I have ice cream and then a piece of 100% dark chocolate, its tasteless. When I do keto and have a piece of 100% as my only dessert, it's the sweetest thing in my life.

See, it's easy. The lyrics that name foreign entities? Those are bad people. The domestic entities and events their country was involved in? Naturally-occurring events that simply happened. Just history.

Someone would have to know she has a dog. Presumably, the dog could be picked up by a family member or friend. The article doesn't specify what happened.

Rob a bank? Go to jail.

Don't rob a bank? Beleive it or not, straight to jail

Yes, Glorious was the one with his grandma. Clearly you have deeper exposure to him and Ryan so I'm now genuinely curious, what makes him corny? I was assuming his light/parody music, of which the corny sample is visibly represented in every thread on the topic. I don't follow his personal life at all outside a few prior social/political statements

How much have you listened to? If your exposure is through radio or other mainstream stream playlists, then you're probably hearing the same type of sample as you do Lady Gaga. The pop hits make money to fund the heartfelt art made with talent. There's a few dozen songs past Thrift Shop, And We Danced, and Downtown. Shit, check out the video to Glorious

69 is older than that and it's still here

You don't need sight to drive a manual. You can feel and hear it. Even just feel it if the music is up. Hit the accelerator and it doesn't go? Downshift. Let off gas and it decelerates too hard? Upshift.

Yes, you should have commented what you did, because [eventually] someone gave you an explanation of why what you thought isn't as good as you thought it was. Also... Why be "smart" and "interesting" when you can be a collection of 300 tangential rabbit hole topics in a trench coat?

Me though? I chose to be a library of sick references in a hunched human form.
