Did you know actual snake oil was used in traditional Chinese medicine for arthritis. Aparently it’s quite high in Omega-3. But it got popular and then grifters started selling random concoctions and calling it snake oil and that’s how it became synonymous with quackery.
Not really related to the point of your comment, I just read about it recently and thought it was interesting.
I guess at least you know they can’t evangelise?
Es tut mir leid für die lange zeit. Ich habe zu viel Arbeit.
Meine muttersprache ist Englisch. Deshalb Ich dachte wir reden könnten. Ich bin Australier. Habst du Ideen für Themen? Ich mag politik, nachrichten, gaming. Was magst du?
Möchtest du mit mir sprechen? Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, aber ich will es lernen. Ich war im 2003 in Hesse, ich liebe Deutschland
Ich lerne Deutsch, und
opiskelen suomea, ja
estoy aprendiendo español también.
Furthest along with Deutsch, because I did it at school (decades ago), not making huge progress gains with any of them because Duolingo, but it fits in my day so easily and the repetition is effective I think.
Yeh bangle.JS is this I think
Oh I’m so glad someone said Coco! Oh gosh, the final scenes and the final song always gets me

Whatever is there before baby will be made a thousand fold. Children are amplifiers.
If you and your partner already have a culture of flexibility and support and caring for each other you will be fine. It will still be work and there will still be tough times, but you’ll be able to get through. You’ll probably come out closer than you thought possible.
If either of you have bubbling resentments or distrust, or very rigid ideas about who should be doing what and when, the difficulties may be insurmountable.
In this video about Lavender AI which is Israel’s Palantir, they talk about the accuracy score that the AI gives targets for how sure it is that they are Hamas. It is used to determine how expensive the weapons to take that person out, and how many innocent bystanders they are willing to take out along with that target.
Oh god I almost don’t want to say this in this environment…
Techy people aren’t the most intelligent in other/all areas just because they have some technical expertise.
I have worked with, and interacted with people, all my life who are technically very intelligent in some specific way, and even been one of these people… Who thinks that one area of proficiency grants them unearned respect in other areas.
