20% of Russians are sadists
And then Putin will just upload some videos on YouTube of Trump having underage skanky sex workers pissing into his mouth and ramming him from behind with a large chocolate strap-on all with Jeffrey Epstein voyeuristically rubbing one out in the chair beside them.

What kind of drill bits are these ?
Those are just different methods of sharpening and can be applied to any bit What’s superb about them and what do you use them for? Perhaps you should focus more on the type of metal used to produce them and sharpening geometry as more important factors

Quote Function?
When this issue happens to me, it’s often after my initial attempt to highlight the text went outside the border of the text editor window. If I select just one word dead center of the text then expand what’s included manually from there, that seemed to help… at least for me when I encountered this. Good luck either way

I could not reach Scienceforums for 3 days
No, I meant rimshot as it’s commonly and colloquially used online. In online slang, a "rimshot" refers to the sound effect used to punctuate a punchline or a bad joke It is the digital equivalent of a drummer's "ba dum tss" and is often used to emphasize a corny or cringe-worthy attempt at humor. Get busy living or get busy dying

Like all new tools, there are ways it can be used to help and ways it can be used to hurt, but either way here the toothpaste is already out of the tube.

In Case You Missed it ?
It’s more closely tied in with nationalism than religion, IMO. Sort of an American Taliban, but with Christian Nationalists.

@Moontanman often has insights into the aquarium best practices which IMO includes the herpetology space so tagging him in case he’s floating around, sees this, and has a recommendation

Understanding of Consciousness prerequisite for AI development.
I can see your point. I suppose how we define shadow is relevant. A shadow clearly exists. That existence only makes sense in context of interactions within some local frame. If our definition of shadow, however, subtracts any references or connection to that local frame then things rather quickly and quite clearly become strange. It’s a bit like asking if love is a real thing without reference to feelings, perspectives, and connection to others.

How much risk lies in AI designed viruses? Worth it for the rewards?
And yet they frequently make new connections between concepts and data that we humans previously had not. And that was my core point. ETA: And that’s not what I was talking about. These models do exist and have for years helping decode and create new protein structures and beyond

Creativity and outside the box thinking is the resource AI brings freshly to the table

I can, but it disappears when I walk away. A hole can be transferred by making a bigger hole below it and converting it into a scoop, but your point is taken. Agreeing with your point about the need for definitions, that applies also to the idea of “not an illusion.” Me typing this and you reading this could both be classified that way as illusions.

I also like this saying, though one might counterclaim they are physical in several significant ways. Shadows block light and have a lower temperature than their surroundings. This changes the way air moves. This changes moisture levels and micro humidity. That creates an attraction effect pulling air toward it from more illuminated non-shadowed areas. There’s a temperature gradient radiating from cool to warm from center of the shadow outward. The undulation of that heat creates disturbances in the local atmosphere and intensifies the dancing blur along the boundary between light and dark. /poetic_license We fly airplanes and helicopters and gliders and parachutes and squirrel suits with our mind already. Far more effective than the rugs, and same thing enabling it.

Flood of Spam 12th July 2025: Why Would Someone Do That?
AI makes it easier for more people, a double whammy in terms of adding slop and noise in a world where bad actors each day use ever improving tools to amplify specific parts of it for personal gain. Multiple platforms offer admins a config setting to enable auto-ban/suspension of accounts and/or threads once a certain threshold gets crossed and a specific number of reports (say 2 or 3) have come in from other members. Perhaps that is what npts had in mind when asking, curious if that’s possible here. A question for Cap’n, I know. ETA: It wouldn’t surprise me if engineers were using sites like these to test and train their agents, or even AI coding agents already coding bits and agents of their own.
