      Ain’t nobody can afford to shoot .38 these days. Rim fire linking and the occasional 9mm mag and I’m broke.

      Well, an ability to buy stuff for a gun does not exclude the possibility to have an affordable healthcare. US does not have affordable one, but I live in a country with “free” healthcare and it is so shitty that I and my family need to go to private doctors anyway 90% of cases. We need to pay twice: one for the “free” healthcare in taxes and the second time at the private doctor. Admitedly, less fucked up than in US, but this still fucking sucks.

        THIS. Sometimes, a silly vending machine in Alabama is just a vending machine in Alabama, not the summation of what you think is wrong with other peoples’ politics.

      Just a guess, but maybe they use AI to compare the live person’s face to the photo on the ID to verify. Of course if they’re comparing to the printed photo and not to a database photo linked to the ID, then the whole purpose of the machine is ill-conceived, as it could be bypassed with a fake ID.

      They probably don’t. Computer programming is now just called AI. Tired of seeing everything claimed to be run by AI.

    AI image recognition for age verification.

    Famously 100% accurate. Hence why even humans who need to verify age look at the birth date on your driver’s license.

    I hate it here.

    Brothers and sisters, if you and I would just realize, that once we learn to talk the language that they understand, they will then get the point. You can’t ever reach a man if you don’t speak his language. If a man speaks the language of brute force, you can’t come to him with peace. Why goodnight! He’ll break you in two, as he has been doing all along. If a man speaks French, you can’t speak to him in German. If he speaks Swahili, you can’t communicate with him in Chinese. You have to find out, what does this man speak? Once you know his language, learn how to speak his language. He’ll get the point, there will be some dialogue, some communication, and some understanding will be developed… Learn the language that they understand, and then when they come up on our door step to talk, we can talk.

                So far, I always cold crash to get the impurities/ carbohydrates to fall out of the solution and leave a less hazy wort. I like a gnarly trub in my kettle, before I start transferring to the ale pail/ bucket fermenter. So, I don’t know what a beer would taste like without it. I’ve only brewed ales and lambics so far.

        Not all tap water is good to drink. Some people wells or some city water is bad.

        Personally I only buy it if the power is out (to help pack the fridge and freezer) or road trips / camping. Where yes is could try to store a coolers worth of ice in my freezer but its just not worth it

          Thank you! I feel SEEN. ya leave nice fresh ice in the freezer long enough, it gets funky, especially if it’s stored with other food.

      Nah, I wouldn’t even play a video game this bad… but you’re right, there’s been a lot of “GTA Online energy” to it recently though.

        Nah, in GTA you have to buy your ammo from a store. This is Bioshock and Borderlands energy.
