Depending on your reading of the bible, and how you interpret Jesus saying he didn’t change the old testament law, anywhere between zero and all of them.
But as stupid as biblical reasons for murder may be, they’re not quite this heinous.

There are only two types of games nowadays. Everything that isn’t AAA is labelled “Indie”, even when they’re with major publishers and have three dozen devs and a hundred externals…

It depends. Slurry can have whatever density you like. But you can do a lot with lead weights.

Kidnapping is not the napping of a kid.
That’s literally the etymology, but words change and meanings change, and it’s definitely not the 17th century anymore.
Originally it was specifically used to describe stealing children to work on American plantations.

I’ve seen some flat Earth videos where they legit “explain” how gravity is fully explained by the flat earth constantly accelerating upwards.

Honestly, most people are zero problems. It’s just the those 98% of normal people don’t really register compared to that one absolute fucking asshole…
- Comment on Belief 1 week ago:
I love your optimism, but its rather misplaced.
The majority of anti-abortion people genuinely believe that a zygote is an innocent human life, and terminating it is literally murder. If that’s what they believe, why wouldn’t they do everything in their power to stop it?
But they’re NOT doing that.
They’re not promoting sex education, which drastically reduces teenage pregnancy and thus abortions. They’re not working to increase financial and social security for mothers to ensure having a child isn’t a massive risk. They’re not doing to reduce sexual assault of women leading to unwanted pregnancy.
They’re not doing everything in their power, not even remotely close. They’re literally just doing one single thing, and that’s the thing that hurts women the most, in the most ways and empowers terrible men the most.
So, given that they’re actually not trying very hard, and doing things that benefit themselves, one has to wonder if that’s truly a surprising of highly specific incompetence, or intentional.

I have been studying AI for ten+ years
Really? Cool! What’s your take on people deliberately muddying the waters by conflating LLMs with other forms of AI like interpretative models?
And especially keeping in mind that the latter are a roaring success, while the former is probably the single most expensive waste of time, money and effort known to humanity.

Before that basically everything towards the magenta part of the spectrum was all just called red.
And before that we have people looking at colours entirely differently, like Homer calling the sea the colour of red wine.
Which my Greek teacher would explain by saying “my pencil is the the same shade of yellow as your book is blue”.

- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 3 weeks ago:
It depends.
It isn’t that yarn in itself is expesive, but if you’re knitting/weaving, you’re not doing it to save money on socks, you want to make something cool and unique. If you really get into it, you’re going to eventually want that specialist wool/bamboo/elastane blend with a super specific colour grade and maybe a specific manufacturing method too. And that’s expensive.
Similarly, if you’re spinning your own yarn, you can get boring old for about half the price of boring old yarn, and even less if you dye big batches yourself. You can get a pretty nice wool for about a quarter of the price of the yarn, so far so good. But of course, if you’re spinning your own yarn, you’re going not doing that for production purposes, you want to make something cool and unique. So you’ll want to blend in specifics, like glitter nylons, or maybe even metalic fibers, and that long-fiber, ultra-fine angora will go great with a slightly thicker cairngorn, etc etc. And before you know it, you’re making yarn that costs maybe ten times what they sell at the local hobby shop.
And spinning wheels aren’t exactly cheap either. Mine was something like 800 euros, but you can easily spend four times that on an electric wheel. You can buy a LOT of yarn for that money. And lets not talk about how much wool I’ve ruined due to lack of skill.

Im pretty sure the 1.2m number just measures casualties, not corpses.
If someone trips and breaks an ankle, that’s a casualty just as much as when someone tries to headbutt an FPV drone.
Only one of those is unrecoverable though.

Nah, the thing with “military age” is that you can write down a new set of numbers.
