Try savory oats. I cook mine with curry and adobe, a little olive oil, nutritional yeast, chopped garlic, topped with chili crisp and a fried egg. Usually on top of a bed of sprouts or shredded red cabbage.

Coincidentally, I had ChatGpt write a short story about a man going to the beach in they style of Dostoevsky and showed it to my wife.

And she cried for a minute before starting to laugh that she was crying from a story made by a bot.

The notion of having some kind of moral high ground based upon religious principle is absurd. The Bible is rife with Godly demands for the murder of all sorts of folk including children (1 Samuel 15:3).

Specifically, Numbers 5:20-27 prescribes ritualistic abortion if a woman has cheated on her husband. A thorough reading of the Bible gives one the understanding doesn't care about fetuses or children. He cares about the subjugation of women and everyone in their "proper" place in His hierarchy.

My wife as been on SSRIs for years. Anecdotally, a few years ago, she noticed when she forgets to order her probiotics she slides into a malaise after a few days. For both of our benefit, I now make sure we never run out. https://www.amazon.com/Probiotics-Billion-CFU-Prebiotics-Aci...

> But what charity wants NFTs?

I attended an event last night in a museum where over $150k was raised for local Charities by auctioning off NFT Art. It will probably become more common than one might imagine.

It may be the case for Ubisoft. However, some NTFs include the IP rights. For example, if you bought a Bored Ape NFT, you'd have the rights to use that Ape any way that you want. You can license it out for a Cartoon. Movie or Comic Book. Sell T-shirts, etc.

I had the same issue with ProctorU. Installing Windows on a 64GB USB and booting off that anytime I had to take an exam solved the problem to my satisfaction.

Nope. I stopped reading right there as well.

I've seen those twice on the west side of Puerto Rico. Spooked the hell out of me at the time because they fly very low and make virtually no sound.

As a person of color, I really got this:

"At the very very highest levels winning with black is really quite an impressive achievement, and black will often go into a game playing for a draw. The advantage of the first move is very pronounced, and sets the tone for the entire game, with white generally calling the shots. Attempts by black to generate active counterplay are often very risky. "

"So the aim when black is to survive and make sure you're doing enough sensible things to not get exploited because of the disadvantage of moving second."
