Wow thanks that is awesome, gotta remember that site. For rice I already found the 50lbs pack that also beats my local discount grocer (which is rare).

What pisses me off that amazon has made it's "sort by cheapest" completely unusable. You find 100 pages of the exact same ultra-trashy product or something related or a replacement part or something.

And here I am buying flour and eating pancakes all day long. Or potatoes. If only I could afford corn flakes!

On the bright side, once AI actually CAN answer things like this we'd have "Artificial Ethics". A way to judge questions objectively or at least without emotional tempering for each specific case. This could solve some fundamental problems like "who watches the watchers" - we simply build the perfect watcher.

Of course we're far away from that yet. And then we'd just ignore our perfect watcher anyway 🤣

I've recently read a comment saying the great Chinese firewall somehow "learns" that you are using a VPN. So people doing quick tests "yep VPN works" but then a little later it doesn't work anymore. No clue if that is true though.

Yes, the Genocide Convention.

I believe even without signing it, other signatories still have to everything they can to prevent genocide.

Vouchers for babies lol

How are the social laws in Korea for this? Like parental leave, healthcare, government support for kindergarten and schools, housing?

Don't do it... since God is infallible any contradiction would negate all of existence!

This assumes rewritable media, of course… because we need feature parity.

I'd be fine without, if you can just append records to overwrite or delete previous files. For backup or long term storage RW doesn't matter that much. Or at least, I'd much rather have a cheaper non rewritable disc with a capacity like this.

Chess pieces made out of stone. Stone is not recyclable or biodegradable or compostable. If you throw them in the landfill they will be there for millions of years. This is a pretty minor spill though.
