⅔ may be overestimating, but yes, they're native to all of the Middle East and Africa, and most of Europe (outside of Scandinavia) and mainland Asia (outside of deserts, Siberia etc.)

These are all in cargo pants but default is phone front left; small wallet (leather card holder with a zip pocket with a tile in it) front right; keys back zip pocket, but recently I was in another country and did water bottle front top left; phone, large wallet due to cash & book front top left; travelcard and hotel key back zip pocket, passport & 120Ah portable charger front bottom right, coins front bottom right which surprisingly felt just fine so maybe I'm ready to become a suburban dad

I mean they could go underwater and just come up to breathe and eat dead ants

Thing is a conscience (and any emotions, and feelings in general) is just chemicals affecting electrical signals in the brain... If a ML model such as an LLM uses parameters to affect electrical signals through its nodes then is it on us to say it can't have a conscience, or feel happy or sad, or even pain?

Sure the inputs and outputs are different, but when you have "real" inputs it's possible that the training data for "weather = rain" is more downbeat than "weather = sun" so is it reasonable to say that the model gets depressed when it's raining?

The weightings will change leading to a a change in the electrical signals, which emulates pretty closely what happens in our heads

At least it makes educated guesses rather than just flipping a coin as to whether to include a paragraph or not like that bot does

Ah I got thrown off by it being a US unit as I know in the US for some braindead reason they call a pint a "half quart(er gallon)" so I was thinking 1.136 litres, but yeah the US decided to not even use the same imperial units as anywhere else which still used them at the time just to be extra special (and scam people into thinking they were getting more than they wore, which sets the tone for the US I guess)

US is part of the NANP which means they have their own system for beyond +1, which is shared with Canada and half the Caribbean, and so they were given the whole of +1 rather than +10, +11, +12 etc. all resolving to the same thing, or +10 being for about 10 different countries while +11 was for one

Then the Soviet Union wanted a single digit too, which is why Russia and Kazakhstan share +7

You said it in your first line... They're selling them at a loss to try and dominate the market.

Even if the government only think it's only anti-competitive when foreign companies do it, the truth is it's anti-competitive as fuck regardless... I'd much rather have both local and international producers producing things at a reasonable price and fair profit level than losing a bunch of money to dominate the market then taking huge profits later on but you do you I guess.

If it were me I'd also be wanting to know how many slave labourers are getting poisoned by toxic fumes to produce them, as while China is great in some respects, the work environment and culture is undeniably Victorian workhouse level.

Ah yes, so all the houses people rarely visit are located close together and the farms they have to visit multiple times a day are even further away?

Deranged thinking by someone who has never considered that their food is grown in a field rather than some factory

Ok, I'll be sure to use my automatic mechanical watch to check my decent speed and heart rate on my ski trip... Oh wait...

Personally I have a Garmin Fenix for the 3 week battery life but let's not pretend that a mechanical watch and a smartwatch fill even close to the same market segment... It's like telling someone who dropped 3k on a mountain bike to buy a car instead as it's faster on the highway: ok, but not comparable and not relevant
