That's the thing about reading the list out loud. You can just skip over the names of the people you want to protect.

Release the files.

Is he on trial for inspiring other people to commit violent acts? Is that one of the charges he is facing? No, He is on trial for murder. How other people respond to that is not his responsibility.

Additionally, he is still on trial. He has not been found guilty. So they are saying that something he may or may not have done is responsible for other people potentially doing something that they haven't yet done.

What a bunch of irrelevant hogwash.

I can tell when I'm driving from NY into CT when suddenly there's traffic for no reason and everybody is driving like an asshat.

I remember during the covid shutdown my gym was closed (NYSC) . I called their main support line or whatever and was like "I need to cancel my membership" and they told me that I needed to go into the gym to cancel. I told them that the gym was closed and I can't go in. They then told me I needed to get in touch with the manager of that gym somehow.

Called my credit card company. Disputed the charges, and told them to block any further charges from NYSC. That gym shut down before the lock down even ended.

Bought some weights and bands for my apartment. Downloaded a free app for calisthenics routines. Haven't been to a gym since.

It's not quite the same as having all of the machines and weights, but it sure as hell is more convinient. If I ever get the pleasure of owning a home, building out a more complete gym in the basement/garage is a goal.

If you're talking about the shooting in NYC, that was Blackstone, not Blackrock. Two entirely different companies with very similar names.

This may be anecdotal, but I ran into this exact same issue a few weeks ago. The suggested 20% was significantly higher than the 20% on the bill. It took me a little bit to figure out, but we were at the restaurant for a steak special and happy hour. The 20% tip was for the non-special price. For example, the steak and two sides special was $18, but the normal price was $28. The drinks were $5 but the normal price was $8. So the suggested tip was 20% of $36, not 20% of $23. These aren't the exact numbers, and there were two of us, but you get the idea. The POS/Tip suggestion is setup so the servers don't get the shit end of the stick when the restaurant is doing a deal/special. I'm not sure I fully agree with it, and I have my own beef with tipping culture in general, but I'm just looking to explain what might be seen in OP's photo.

I used GPT to help me plan a 2 week long road trip with my family. It was pretty fucking awesome at finding cool places to stop and activities for my kids to do.

It definitely made some stupid ass suggestions that would have routed us far off our course, or suggested stopping at places 15 minutes into our trip, but sifting through the slop was still a lot quicker than doing all of the research myself.

I also use GPT to make birthday cards. Have it generate an image of some kind of inside joke etc. I used to do these by hand, and this makes it way quicker.

I also use it at work for sending out communications and stuff. It can take the information I have and format it and professionalize it really quick.

I also use it for Powershell scripting here and there, but it does some really wacky stuff sometimes that I have to go in and fix. Or it halucinates entire modules that don't exist and when I point it out it's like "good catch! That doesn't exist!" and it always gives me a little chuckle. My rule with AI and Powershell is that I don't ask it to do things that I don't already know how to do. I like to learn things and be good at my job, but I don't mind using GPT to help with some of the busy work.

So the names of all the private citizens will be redacted, right?

Very curious about the three "question mark vs question mark" fatalities. UFO collision? Skateboard jousting?

Not here to defend Blackstone, but it sounds like you are talking about Blackrock. Blackstone owns commercial real estate portfolio companies. Blackrock is the 11 trillion owns the world alongside vanguard one. Easy to mix them up.

No, not dual audio. I want more Control. On my Peloton bike I can adjust the volume of the host and the music independently. I want that for TV and movies. Two volume rockers on my remote. One for voice and one for "everything else". I know the technology exists, and it would not be crazy complicated to implement. Well maybe for broadcast TV... But for anything streaming, this should benrelativwly easy to do. I know that the voice and music and FX tracks already exist separately digitally. Let me mix it myself.
