Those of us alive in the 80s may never forget the term "anal seepage" associated with it.
A Jabberwock!
I agree. It's just a resource you can save and look into later when you might have more time or find yourself bored. They do have some other pages or sections that discuss helpful treatments but there's no short summary, I gather, because it's been so different for different people. Anyway, not my site or anything, just something I came across recently.
Sorry for chasing a side point, but I wanted to mention this group that provides a ton of information on dry eye syndrome beyond the very limited resources that my optometrist showed me.
As for evaporative coolers:
-
they work well when the ambient humidity is low. If the day turns more humid outdoors, they just make noise and don't help. The drier your heat tends to be the more you'll get out of one.
-
be prepared for any effects of the additional humidity you would be adding to your home. If you're not careful you could cause mold and mildew problems. It's best to use one of these only in the hottest few hours and turn it off well before sunset, leaving time for the place to air out. Or if your area is hot enough for AC overnight, you may want to run a cooler only in cycles, leaving time in between to ensure manageable indoor humidity. If the outside temperature happens to drop quickly enough you can end up with condensation and damp indoors.
I could go with that.
Still having a hard time with the idea that a thing could be even "some level of intelligent" without being sentient. But we don't need to continue from there, there's any number of people ready to pile on at that point and say that it's "all semantics anyway" or start deconstructing sentience.
Food. It has also been my only purchase this year.
Sure, we could say that the popular usage of the term AI no longer actually stands for "artificial intelligence". Or we could say that the term "artificial intelligence" is no longer understood to refer to something that can do a large part of what actual intelligence can do.
But then we would need a new word for actual, real intelligence and that seems like a lot of wasted effort. We could just have the words mean what they've always meant. There is a lot of good in spreading public awareness of the vast gap between machines that seem as if they understand a language (when actually they just deeply model its patterns) and imaginary machines that are equipped to actually think.
I think the brightly colored area may be the comparatively lower land just south of the Himalaya. The mountains can act as a backstop that allows heat and pollution to build up to intolerable levels while the air is not able to easily mix with cleaner and cooler air to the north.
