AI doesn’t copy things anymore than a person copies them by attending a concert or museum.

Google admitted at least internally that they were going to be actively political against Republicans and trump after he won in 2016. That still hasn’t changed.

Cloning functionality is legal, but the tricky part is trademark for various terms and processes.

Convection toaster ovens are the best though. They let you “air fry” in a far better form factor, and you can also toast and bake in them.

Fishing varies wildly depending on the species you are targeting. The best advice is probably to look on YouTube for fishing videos in your area.

For pan fish baiting a hook and waiting for a bite (possibly using a bobber) generally works well. It’s easy to target them during the breeding season when they make “beds,” at other times you may need to find an area with a drop off or weeds. You generally want your bait to be off the bottom by a reasonable amount.

For something like bass you tend to use crank/jerk baits that you need to keep moving to entice a hit. You can generally find them in similar areas to pan fish as they eat those species. The idea is generally to pass lures through areas that allow a bass to hide and strike anything that swims by.

At certain times of the year you can target spawning fish in various rivers. Generally at these times what you use isn’t too important, it’s more about being there when the fish are passing through.

• Fried spam.
• crack an egg into it.
• add some curry paste.
• add fresh green onions.

If you make yourself irreplaceable you can’t get promoted.
Everyone always has a plan until they get punched in the face.

Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it’s somehow hilarious.

I watched the first season of White Lotus and it’s ok at best, I have no wish to watch more of it.

Grapes of Wrath is a slight stretch, but it’s shear length relative to it’s message makes it a very empty book.

I wouldn’t say nothing burger, but they’ve definitely aged poorly.

It’s more than that. There’s also stalker fantasy and a ridiculously overpowered main character.

All companies are tech companies, those that aren’t will be replaced by those that are. It’s been a common theme for a decade. I don’t really care that some venture capitalists lost their easy button to decide where to throw money for massive returns. Investing is supposed to require diligence.

I remember people talking about stories where someone got a great job because they happened to be a big guild leader and someone at the company was in the guild. It makes sense to me, just running a 10 man Kara with people that already knew what to do was exhausting.

Grand strategy games aren’t for me, but I love reading the insane stories from CKII and Dwarf Fortress.

Discovery sucks in the fediverse, so it causes a lot of fractured and spammed content until hopefully everyone migrates to a stable community. Otherwise everyone eventually leaves as there appears to be no interest in a topic due to the fragmentation.

Go back to the stone age and drop modern steel tools and weapons where a tribe could find them. That tribe would likely become dominant and perhaps change everything.

From a US perspective. Depending on the specialty a PA will do 99% of what a doctor does. In more surgical specialities they tend to do most of the pre and post op work. The US also has NPs (nurse practitioners) which are very similar in function to a PA. The big difference is that an NP is taught medicine from a nursing perspective, while a PA is more explicit in the partnership with a doctor. As a PA or NP you would be more of a peer with a doctor, so you would likely see different sides of doctors and nurses than you currently do.

You can expect different drama, maybe not less. I can’t say what specifically would be the case in Germany. In the US it’s mostly about balancing patient care with paperwork, and battling insurance companies. The ratio of practicing medicine vs bureaucratic bullshit is currently very skewed towards bureaucracy in the US.

That doesn’t really change much. Lemmy is worse of an echo chamber of anything.

I was on a plane that made an emergency landing. It was a lot less scary or exciting than it sounds. Our plane was leaking hydraulic fluid, so we diverted to a closer airport to land while the landing gear could still be lowered with hydraulics. The landing was uneventful, but I did get to see a flash of emergency vehicles with their lights on along the runway.
