I've fucked up measurements and had unexpectedly good results, but I couldn't make it again

This reminds me of someone whom I used to know who enjoyed videos of cops abusing people, but he thought that he was a good person since he only thought that it was fun when the victim "deserved" it (spoiler: they never did)

I'd take all the stars away for that.
Also, I just stayed in an airbnb with a loose connection in an outlet box that caused audible sparking when any substantial electricity was used anywhere in it. (This means that it was all on one circuit which is also a violation in this case)

Do you have any recommendations for Illinois? I think that I found someone, but it'd always be good to have more information

I'd do: humid with steam/rain, hot, and zero noise

- bright af LEDs, dimmable to zero, no flicker
- humidifier and dehumidifier (with optimal satisfying steam/boiling/piezoelectric thing)
- heat pump and ac for ideal temperature
- omega noise blocking
- speakers inside to play any noise with high maximum volume, and good fidelity at low volume

I absolutely agree. This doesn't justify what they're doing, at all. It's just a different idea that this reminds me of

The criticisms are valid, to be completely clear, but when I see this it makes me think of a sensory break box. I hid in closets and bathrooms as a child at school (which, of course, adults deemed to be a discipline problem) I might have enjoyed an opaque box that I could crawl into when I wanted

Reading just the abstract and then citing it was a major thing before llms. So, this discussion is more broad than llms

This would probably be a genuinely good policy of democratic control. It removes the moral hazard of minimizing your own taxes while at the same time requiring broad approval for broad spending.

They shouldn't have drug dogs either. Just having drugs on you isn't anyone else's business and shouldn't be illegal

I once met an autistic person who knew this, and who equated masking with not being anti social in the kind of way that, according to them, made jail an appropriate consequence. They literally said that people who didn't mask deserved jail.

This level of caring about being normal feels absurd to me. I'm fine with doing my own thing.

Try doing the test with a therapist to see if you're understanding the questions differently from the intent. These questions aren't written for an ND audience, so non literal meanings are a thing.

It's so inefficient to deal with phone systems. There are hold times where they waste the user's time. There are slow repetitions of any precise information. It's in many cases much more efficient to communicate by asynchronous written messages

I like many autistic traits in and of themselves too, so it seems reasonable to include them under this concept.

There's a huge different between traditional utilities and cloud providers. It's much more feasible for a small cloud provider to exist, and it's rarely if ever a monopoly. There are dozens of viable options that I can use to launch a new application that requires some sort of hosted system.

What about light from windows in buildings, exterior lights not managed by the government (like a person puts a light on the exterior front of their home), and vehicles' lights?

We have successfully automated house work in the part: dishwasher, clothes washer, dryer, robot vacuum cleaner, and more.
None of these are pretending to be a human, though

Does having one spoon type that I use for everything count? I'm annoyed about it not being manufactured anymore, but I can deal with the suboptimal spoon that's the closest that I could find (over time the first batch that I had disappeared into the aether)
