You could just pay off your balance by the due date and you won't be charged any interest.

It's exactly (C*9/5)+32. That's not a rough formula, it's exact.

Wait, we're the hicks?!

Actually, that explains so much.

Iirc the issue was that the researchers left the manufacturer's logo on the scans.

All of the negative scans were done by the researchers on the same equipment while the positive scans were pulled from various sources. So the AI only learned to identify which scans had the logo.

Yes, but there's zero evidence the dinosaurs didn't have time machines.

People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.

Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, "flushable" wipes, etc), half grease and fats.

If it's a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn't go down the drain.

Butter is already like 90% fat.

I'm pretty certain that you can turn Relay off in your account settings.

Don't tell that to your kid unless you want them to start pooping in your bed.

Yes, you also need to hope they're not building android replicas of all the voters, too.

Except they have a much higher rate of lost or miscounted ballots.

But the two methods can be used together to create an improved system: electronic ballots with a printed 'receipt'. My state uses this method. Before submitting your ballot, it displays the paper receipt and asks you to confirm your choices. If it's incorrect or you want to change it, you can reject the ballot and it is immediately voided in front of you. If it's fine, you press a button and it submits both the digital and paper copies of your ballot.

Election monitors can then validate the calculated results against the paper receipts.

Your first source is about women working in Canada and your second is about poverty in Canada.

Unless I missed something, Canada still is a sovereign nation despite what Trump wants.
