I haven't bought from temu, but I've bought loads of stuff for various things on similar sites like aliexpress. If I have the time to wait for the shipping, it's the exact same components as I buy in electronics supply stores here, but at a fraction of the price. I prefer to not pay a 300-400% markup for no real reason.

Now music recommendations? That might just work given that algorithms are already doing a decent job at presenting new ( to the particular user, not by actual age) music that the user may enjoy

In my experience they really suck..."oh, you liked that song from this artist? let me just push a shitload that is categorised in the same basic genre without actually considered the specific track you liked"

It's so ridiculously generic in its suggestions it's useless. So yeah, AI can almost only do a better job at this than currently.

I'm guessing that answer was a reply to something else, because it makes absolutely no sense in this context.

It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don't have road tolls. They're used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.

You’re either a shitty LLM or you have difficulties with substance abuse like I do. If you’re the latter, please reach out to me again and we can have a private conversation about our journey to sobriety.

Uuh...what does that have to do with electricity prices??

Aw shit i misread that...we have >1$/kWh in peak (which is between 5-9pm) too often here during winter.

I live in Northern California where we pay literally the highest electricity prices in the entire planet

~~Bullshit...you're not even the most expensive in the US. And for "planet reference" the average price ATM where i live (not US) is 40¢/kWh, and we're not even the most expensive...~~

Edit: misread California as Carolina...my bad

Did you even read my original comment? As I said, drinking alcohol around children is perfectly fine and normal...needing it to enjoy it, like several people mention or hint at ITT, is a problem.

Starch-based polymer != starch

it will be readily metabolized by the various ubiquitous species populating our biosphere. i suppose it's a good thing. possibly the only microplastic that doesn't suck

Not really, it is considered compostable in industrial composting conditions. It will not degrade at a reasonable timeframe in natural conditions and will basically just remain micro plastic.
