Oh, so much. I’m still trying to figure out how to actually complete things.

Tolerance is tangential to humanization. You can be tolerant of a human. You can also be intolerant of a human.

You flipped the sign on the 3 and 1.

Everything else is indeed free here in Canada except for the ambulance. That costs something like $100 per ride. Yes, we complain about it.

but once I’m done, I close them all

Same. But I also have a continuous stream of new projects that never get finished.

Whenever I see the term “consciousness” in a paper, it automatically gets flagged in my head as non-serious. But I work in AI, so maybe that shouldn’t apply to whatever your field is. That brings me to the next problem: I can’t figure out what your field is supposed to be from this paper. It’s lacking the background and prior work sections that would serve to position your work into the greater context of existing work.

Do you use this for physical machines too?

Depends on how reliable you need this system to be. For example, do you need to handle the scenario where an adult verifies their age to access a website, then lets a minor use that website in their place? That would be a much harder problem to solve than if you just need to verify that an adult was present on the other end at one point in time. For the latter, device-based age verification seems to be trivial to set up from a technical standpoint while fulfilling that criterion.

prepare for what situations you run into where you know it’s possible to be stabbed

And what might those preparations look like? How does one prepare for that, as well as for the possibility of getting shot, or being run over by a car while on the sidewalk, or getting mugged/pickpocketted, or getting your credit card information stolen, or having your home being broken into and ransacked, or someone picking up your infant and running away with them, or having your drink/food spiked, etc.

Get a vaccine.  Nobody should every be able to take that right from you.

A vaccine is never 100% effective. If it were, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation in the first place. 3% of people receiving the measles vaccine don’t get immunity, and there’s those who can’t get the vaccine because they’re too young, or are immunocompromised in some way. What option would they have for dealing with their own lives without controlling others?

Some of the clusters I use are on the list and I can confirm that those all run Linux.

So I can legally/morally stab someone who tried to stab me? How is that at all helpful? I don’t want to stab anyone.

How would this translate to the measles situation? If someone gives me measles, then I’m allowed to give them back measles? But they already have measles. That’s how they were able to transmit it. And I’ll still have gotten the disease. I want to maintain my health and not get infected in the first place.

Habitant has been my go-to canned soup for the past few years. It’s possible I only started paying attention after they changed it, but I haven’t noticed any differences in their pea soup. At least, nothing that’s been reflected in their nutritional content. An easy 540 Calories and 25g protein per can.

Some people enjoy dating on hard mode.

I learned a new word today.

In biology, detritus (/dəˈtraɪtəs/ or /ˈdɛtrɪtəs/) is organic matter made up of the decomposing remains […] of feces.

There are people who are fully owners and don’t do any labour, and those who subsist entirely on their labour and don’t own anything. Would it be fair to say that the middle class is anyone who works but still owns a non-zero amount of appreciating or revenue-generating assets?

You didn’t answer their question. What do you mean when you say “I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere”?

Easy for computers doesn’t mean it’s easy for humans, and vice versa.

But you cannot defy the laws of thermodynamics, so if you make anything colder, you need to absorb the energy to do so and vice versa. First time using this power and you accidentally made something too cold? Sounds like you just burned to death.

In the eyes of the universe, everything is simply an effect. There are no side-effects, so nothing you can redo despite having that ability.

Depending on the person, this might be a bonus.
