So if I walked into a restaurant that specialized in a certain cuisine (choosing the right one out of hundreds is a skill, right?) and wrote down a list of ingredients, and the restaurant made me a meal with those ingredients according to however the restaurant functions (nobody can see into the kitchen, after all), does this make me a chef?
There’s still the issue of birds, which do not like these things in their airspace and, depending on the size, will absolutely either attack drones or be maimed by them. Also, helicopters and small planes often fly quite low. We haven’t had a great record with autonomous cars, but sure, let’s try autonomous flying drones. What could go wrong?
Seems like the airline could have just… not over served him and none of this would have happened.
Edit: yeah it sounds like over serving alcohol may be a recurring problem for this airline:
“It said it bans between five and 10 customers each month for disruptive behavior, including intoxication.”
Plants and animals tend to have problems when they ingest too much salt, so it might be ok as long as they’re only going to spray this stuff over the oceans… As far as actually changing the climate too much, I doubt this method would really be capable of that.
I think a less invasive and probably cheaper-in-the-long-run option would be to make some kind of durable lightweight shades, launch them into orbit like satellites, and move them around remotely as needed.
But what about a car? Cars are as smart as smartphones now, and you certainly wouldn’t notice the small amount of power needed to collect and transfer data compared to driving the car. Some car manufacturer TOS agreements seemingly admit that they collect and use your in-car conversations (including any passengers, which they claim is your duty to inform them they are being recorded). Almost all the manufacturers are equally bad for privacy and data collection.
Mozilla details what data each car collects here.
I started a free trial of Adobe stock. I forgot to cancel after the first month. They charged me $30 for the next month, ok, that’s on me. But when I tried to cancel during that second month, they said I had signed a contract to pay them for a year (I didn’t, all I did was sign up for the free trial) and I now owe them $165 to cancel the subscription. So in essence they were going to charge me $195 for one month of Adobe stock. That’s insane.
If they know how many years they’ll hold the rights, that information should be given to the consumer, i.e., “you will have access to this media product for at least N years.” Then the consumer can make an informed decision (is $24.99 worth it to own a movie for 6 years? Etc). Otherwise it’s just a gamble. Everything else you can rent (cars, tools, equipment, venues, clothing, dumpsters) comes with very clear temporal terms. Imagine if rental car companies could remotely brick your rental car halfway through your vacation.
The earth is flat.
If no one contradicts that statement or downvotes me or anything, someone might later come along and read it and believe it just because no one else disagreed. There are a lot of people who haven’t had a great education or don’t have critical thinking skills, or are actual children. When people just make claims with no discussion of the merit of those claims, how can the less educated figure out they’re not true? After all, if the host invited this hypothetical flat earther to be on their show, there must be something legit about them, right? They don’t just invite any rando person off the street onto their show, do they?
There’s a big difference between “this person doesn’t agree with my worldview” and “this person is spouting crazy nonsense and the host isn’t even questioning it,” which gives the nonsense a sheen of legitimacy.
You’re basically describing ego, which is what we think we are. If you’ve ever been in a true fight or flight situation where the survival part of the brain takes over, you quickly realize that the ego (I guess what OP would think of as the top layer of consciousness) is not the only one calling the shots.

Is that how old the cat is? If so, it’s probably arthritis. Mine is about that age and has problems squatting. It could be that she has trouble getting in and out of the box, or she’s inside but standing too close to the edge and not squatting enough. You could try a supplement or ask your vet. Mine offers monthly injections for arthritis.
In this case, support is referring to technical support, as in “questions about how to use lemmy.” Asklemmy will remove any questions about how to use the site.
And not just because of the ammonia! Bleach is highly toxic to cats and they can absorb it through their paws.
I just asked Wombo Dream to make the Mona Lisa and it did. Sure, you can tell it’s not exactly the real thing, but I don’t know how you can say it didn’t copy any of the actual Mona Lisa original.
It’s definitely wearing shoes, whatever it is.
The theme from White Lotus. Season 1 & 2 are slightly different but both versions of the song are great.
Also the theme song from Raised by Wolves really grew on me after hearing it several times.
Hey, I’m an editor too. I’m disappointed I can’t use reddit to network with authors anymore. Hopefully Lemmy will start some writing & editing communities soon!
I doubt any place will hire you for only one day a week. That will not be helpful for them.
