Well that's obviously true! Trump's one of the greatest legal minds ever, so any ordinary lawyer should simply recognise this and follow Trump's lead. Anything else means you're a dumb lawyer /s

It's all software, even the stuff on the graphics cards. Those are the rasterisers, shaders and so on. In fact the graphics cards are extremely good at running these simple (relatively) programs in an absolutely staggering number of threads at the same time, and this has been taken advantage of by both bitcoin mining and also neural net algorithms like GPT and Llama.

If you are anxious about the processing of words, most definitely this is possible, but I am 100% not saying that it is definitely the cause of your problems.

You are right now highly self-conscious that you might have a crippling brain condition. Also, every time you say something or write something down, you are also monitoring yourself to check out whether it continues to be true or getting worse. In so doing, you might be suffering this effect due to the anxiety that this is causing - you mind is so much more focused on the fear than on the word, which confirms that the word is somehow different in your head now.

This commenter heiroglyphs!

In many texts, writers play with different or unusual ways of sounding out words perhaps to make the visual representation better. Ugh. Here's a link if you're interested in learning more

Not quite. The drug causes heart irregularities in some people at therapeutic doses, and this killed some of those 17k people. It just doesn't quantify it here.

And Greenland is less green and more icy than Iceland

And the Greeks took it from the Phoenicians where it was Alep Bet (almost identical to the Hebrew Aleph Beth).

And these are words that start with the sound of the letter. Aleph means Ox and Beth is house.

That is a very good question and may help trace where the monologue 'sounds' in the brain. It would also be interesting if this were done on sign-language speakers.

The mental pathway from reading to idea to utterance goes through several portions of the brain:

• Visual processing of the text
• Text to phoneme to possible rehearsal of the muscles saying the word (which could be the source of internal monologue, at least while reading)
• Idea/concept of the individual word
• Grammatical analysis of the sentence
• The mental model of the complete thought.

One interesting thing that suggests it would work was where the author stated i) it was better for verbs than nouns and ii) it would often pick a similar, related word rather than the actual one being read.

This suggests that (at least part of) what is being detected is the semantic idea rather than the phoneme encoding or the muscle rehearsal portions of the brain.

That is a leading theory, but that takes many many generations for the behaviours and instincts to change. And the wolf in question wasn't one of those that initiated domestication.

The Catholic church is self-governed by Canon Law - its own law that's been around since the collapse of the Roman Empire. For a good portion of this time, Canon Law superseded national laws that applied to people who weren't priests. I think the church still privately believes that only Canon Law matters, and they can basically ignore everyone else. That's why they have protected child abusers, rapists and all other kinds of shit their medieval claptrap says isn't important. They are a bunch of arrogant pricks who believe themselves better than, you know, people who don't abuse those with less power.

Not really. People shed skin and hair constantly, and the small particles float in the air and distribute themselves throughout the volume. And your bacteria are along for the ride. One of the functions of the protective suits, gloves and hairnets is to contain these these particles and thus keep the air as clean as possible. When combined with lamina airflow, positive room pressure and other techniques, it keeps contamination down hugely.

Same with me! I was binary searching cladistically and it spoiler >!it was a jawed animal and did not have hard bones!<. My search among the >!cartilaginous fish!< was all negative. Damn

It's almost as if the army tried to make the 5.56 bullet more effective at killing enemy soldiers. But now I've learnt that they wanted to create clean, non-deadly wounds.

/s in case it's not obvious.

Almost certainly the opposite - it's the board that is non-profit and Sam has been the one bringing billions of dollars of commercially-tied investment

It might be useful to consider Leibnitz's take on the Euthyphro Dilemma

"is good and just because God wills it or whether God wills it because it is good and just".

Considering that, it is clear that morals cannot come from religion

Many people worked hard within the current hierarchy or system to attain power. They essentially invested their time, resource or energy for this gain over a lifetime. Progressives want change to the existing power heirarchies and systems. That change nullifies the lifetime investment. That's why there is such institutional resistance to progressives.

The camo netting wouldn’t work on a ship this size.

And to add to that, all the characteristics listed their green flags - characteristics used to judge people.

Here's the official notice from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

This is a humiliating order - I've never seen anything like this in 20+ years in Singapore.

Well, technically all those computers are Apples, so they're within their rights
