I mean, it is the only state in the US that’s openly theocratic.

IOC will do nothing. France's OC will do nothing. I realized that the modern Olympic movement is dead when the IOC awarded Salt Lake City the 2034 Games only if the US stops complaining about China being allowed to dope their athletes.

Yes, I know it's difficult to impossible to avoid China in this domain. That won't stop me trying. :)

Sycamore look for things. Things to make them go.

Without access to the article, it's not possible to say how they're transported to the US. Some repair needs don't make a plane unsafe to fly altogether. Even those that can't get themselves across the Atlantic can be carried piggy-back on a transporter aircraft.

This ‘study’ doesn’t study aggression at all. It studies how different people perform in a game of mad libs

Exactly. Word completion tasks are impossible to separate from confounding factors: the subject's vocabulary, their family ideolect, their family culture, their local culture, their ability to spell (especially a problem in English), children's tendency to try and please the adults around them....

I’m sure there is a way to measure toxic masculinity.

There are several. Many would even pass IRB review. This "study" has so many flaws that it should be a practice exercise for first-year research students, not something that The Conversation, of all publications, is flogging.

Whether overwork is a forced change or happened spontaneously is a subject for further study. I suspect that it was, initially, an organic response to a societal need. The ultra-wealthy saw an opportunity and took advantage to try and force it even more in their favor. Whether this lasts is anyone's guess, but my money is that it won't.

You have heard of landmines? Other types of booby traps? Are these not also simply lying in wait to kill anyone who chances upon them?

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 2 points 3 months ago

Will do. Thanks!

Tapo looks promising. If Frigate is too much for the Pi, I have a couple of retired PCs that could be recommissioned. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'll check them out. Thanks!
