Ah, the classic Mendoza solution.

It already is. Autonomous systems have been around for a while.

As of the time I wrote this, dude’s only got two down votes and 13 up votes. I wouldn’t call that indicative of any trends.

And then they were best friends. <3

It’s all good, my dude. I run old school cabling for my devices so I never have to deal with these shenanigans. Plus it’s been over a decade since this happened and I haven’t seen that family since. They left me alone after the incident and were quite civil afterwards.

Also, you okay? You seem quite upset about an anecdote on the Internet that has nothing whatsoever to do with you.

And I would prefer the manager is catching their staff’s errors before they make it to the customer instead of making me do QA, but we can both only dream of a better world.

Rest assured, we’d prefer to prevent them as well. We’d prefer they didn’t make any errors in the first place, to be honest. But like you said, this isn’t a perfect world. Mistakes will happen.

I wasn’t trying to defend this specific food choice (which is a slap to the face, regardless of why). I just wanted to reassure people that it’s okay to check their food upon arrival.

Ah yes, how presumptuous of you to assume all sorts of things about me from a single sentence. I’ll be sure to give your opinion the weight it truly deserves.

As a restaurant manager, I rather you would. If we fucked up, I can fix it faster the sooner I found out.

Fucking Pinellas County. They’re such a special breed.

I actually had a similar situation. I found out I had a neighbor stealing my wifi a few years ago because of BT shenanigans.

I gave the guest wifi pw to the previous neighbor, who must’ve written it down somewhere. The new neighbor was a douche who kept piggybacking off of it to watch stuff with his shitty little kid, so I’d occasionally get notifications on my network. When I confronted him about it, he got belligerent and threatened violence.

So I paired to his device and blasted porn at full volume.

Someone doing something terrible is not justified because someone else is doing the same terrible thing.

What the US has done is unconscionable.

Right, because that token credence is completely in line with your previous assertive dismissal of your earlier comments. How very open minded.

I give him the same level of acceptance as Allah, Vishnu, Odin, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. There’s a nonzero possibility that they’re real, after all. I try to keep an open mind.

Your bias is showing. The fact that we have not observed something is not evidence that it doesn’t exist.

Don’t have to pay for insurance if any little crash becomes deadly!

Perhaps, before you immediately jump to conclusions, you keep your mind open and actually click the link. Because then you’d realize that you’re actually utterly wrong.

The title is pulled directly from the article, which is a decent practice that shows transparency and a lack of user-imposed bias.

And to see if this is propaganda, let’s look at the source. You don’t even have to click the link to see that this is an article from Taiwan News.

But since a name alone doesn’t disprove bias, I took an entire minute worth of time to look into its history and editorial position. Turns out this Taiwanese Newspaper has a majority stakeholder called I-Mei Foods, a Taiwanese company that’s been around for almost a century. Ever since they bought into the newspaper in the 90s, their political affiliation is pan-green. You know, the people that want Taiwan to remain as Taiwan.

And this isn’t even getting into the article itself, which is pretty neutral on it’s own. Other users have already shared good info on its contents, I recommend reading their perspectives, too.

So maybe, before you instantly dismiss something, maybe pull your head out of your ass and actually read more than a headline.

If it was a typo, multiple news sites failed to notice. I’ve only seen the acronym used for World Cup, West Chicago, and Women’s Club.

I’m genuinely curious about what that W stands for. A few seconds of searching only resulted in different reports of this same story. The French word for motorcycle is simply ‘moto’ or ‘motocyclette’.

You can actually do it on a much shorter time scale, depending on the species in question. A Soviet scientist in the 50s started it with foxes and had noticeable results by the 4th generation, less than 2 decades later.

The real catch here is in the semantics, defining your terms and expectations. How much genetic drift you’re aiming for, and what traits you select, what results are functionally “good enough”, etc…

In this example, we probably don’t need fully domesticated animals, some tamed generations should be good enough.
