unless you had them put your name and phone number on it or something there is no downside to reselling it.

I used to make little meme generators with imagemagick before those were a thing, wish I had thought to make a job of it.

I'm still not convinced there is some product where the price/performance justifies it.

obviously there are folders there with files in them, but finding them using the built in tools is a huge pain in the ass and it's impossible to be confident you actually searched them all.

>The tapestry is really neat as a piece of... propaganda, for lack of a better term.

Honestly, I've been hearing so much about the Bayeux tapestry lately, that I'd almost believe that someone is being paid to promote it.

Where's the data that shows that this is about carplay and not just because Honda has a better reputation or other reasons unrelated to carplay?

>My most recent laptop purchase was a Macbook Pro, because the price/performance is just so lopsided with the price of memory pushing everything up to Apple-like prices, it didn't make sense to buy an x86 laptop.

I see people justify their Mac purchases this way all the time, but IMO it's just cope and not their actual primary reason for making that decision. I've never seen where the math actually worked out where the price/performance actually made Apple made sense.

As a dos/windows/linux users my whole life, I got asked by some family a few years back to get photos off of a mac from a deceased family member. I pulled off everything I could find, but I was never sure I actually found everything because I basically had to just search for different image types, but had no real way to browse to actual folders where things were stored.

I'm not even sure you'd need AI for that, there are only like 3 voices that are ever used.

Not the other guy, but I can think about how they look without actually 'seeing' them in my mind.

>Here’s some evidence for you: when I close my eye, I see black.

This, I can imagine things, but it's like the idea of something, not a picture of it. Blows my mind when people tell me their imagination is like watching a movie.

Yeah as someone that doesn't participate in a bunch of math stuff, I was really confused because it mentions SAT and High School algebra, but isn't about High School SAT testing at all.

>Had the road been completed, Bryson City could have also become another Gatlinburg

All of these 'x to nowhere' projects are like that, people totally ignore that growth that would happen if the projects were actually built. Probably a few of them are silly projects, but usually there is an actual reason behind them that at least somewhat made sense.

I thought they closed whatever loophole that let compounding pharmacies do GLP1s, but I suppose online there are ways around that.

Who cares? There have been a couple of similar questions lately. Why do you care how other people use internet sites?

I really wish my insurance would cover GLP-1s, because I think reduction in fatty liver and other ancillary benefits, along with the weight loss, would be medically helpful for me.

there is a captcha type thing you can implement in javascript that forces them to do math, I never remember what it's called but it has some anime catgirl as the logo, I imagine you could modify that a bit to make them mine bitcoin or something.

That seems like a really bad idea.
