The belts, other than the Bible belt are made up. Garfield, People Magazine (which I assume that abrev is for...this might not be clear to some) and 17th century French drama are real...

There are leaked emails from Google (from many years ago) where it was proposed to purposely degrade search quality to increase ad clicks. While some at Google responded with dismay as this, it is not a great leap to assume that this faction eventually won and they did in fact deliberately do that. Advertising is Google's main revenue source, they are clearly motivated to do so.

Search quality has been degrading for years, even before AI was involved.

Definitely sounds like it's leveraging some water memory ideas.

It just depends on you being familiar with the term "bible belt" which is a way of describing that most of the American south is very religious. It takes that idea and extrapolates the existance of several sillier "belts".

Ok you got me, I don't know the vehicle codes of every state, nor am I an expert on them in any state. But I can tell you that people drifting into other lanes on occasion is a thing that happens, usually without it being a big deal. Sometimes by mistake though I gave you a scenario where it is arguably reasonable. I don't dispute that it can also be dangerous, especially with big trucks.

While of course the lanes are there for a reason and should not be ignored, the relative positions of cars is the more important thing and our visual sense of where other vehicles is a thing we generally take in from the vehicle body and the expected consistent shape of them. And it is what we intuitively use when having to make sudden maneuver. Making your car have an unexpected shape and width below the body is asking for trouble.

It's not illegal or unreasonable to use a bit of someone else's lane when you can do so without getting unsafely close to them. For example, if you are in the right lane and there is someone changing a tire on the shoulder and you want to give them some space. These are not going to be easy to see from certain perspectives, and are kind of asking for someone to misjudge their car width.

Cucumber and watermelon flavors are kind of adjacent so I can imagine the watermelon hiding the cucumber.

I get a ton of left wing stuff recommended in my feed and no right wing trash. As much as the algorithm has degraded, it can learn things like this from what you watch and like.

I think this what I came up with last time I considered this question, and I also wonder if I might want to use it for my next machine myself. Do you have a lot of experience using it? Do you feel like it performs pretty well? (I just have concerns that everything being containerized with flatpak and docker might affect that...)

TIL pizza is a where.

They are full of prions. Compost them instead.
