Reply to comment by youre_soaking_in_it in Baltimore Safe Streets sites ‘clearly’ reduce homicides, shootings, Johns Hopkins evaluation finds by sit_down_man

You're right, but I can only speak to personal experiences with certainty, so that's the perspective I was coming from. Honestly I can't imagine any point in the citys history where that code of conduct wouldn't be prudent, especially among more marginalized citizen groups. As far as I'm aware the police have always been what they are now.

That is fantastic. Well done.

My 10 year old has really taken to origami. Would you suggest anything for me to encourage him further down the path of making more difficult things?

Reply to Eli5 if the universe is expanding, then why isn’t the earth, and everything in it (us) getting measurably bigger too? by Far-Contribution-632

Imagine you are standing in one spot wearing roller skates. On your left is a 250 lb NFL lineman. On your right is a 50 lb child. They each begin pulling on you in opposite directions. Which way will you go?

The universal expansion is like the 50 lb child, gravity is like the 250 lb lineman. At distances smaller than galactic clusters, gravity wins.

Reply to AppleCare+ : Am I wrong here? by awakenkraken

You pay the screen replacement price if they only replace the screen. You’re paying the full 79 because you’re getting a replacement device by using Express replacement.

In that link you shared there’s a section that says “Express Replacement Service: we’ll send you a replacement device so you don’t have to wait for a repair3” so if you go down to footnote number three explains it. It’s also a link to https://support.apple.com/en-gb/iphone/repair/express-replacement that states this info, too.

Reply to When do you guys think chatgpt 5 is gonna come out ? by Klaud-Boi

If they delay it, they may be the new google of the next gen. And maybe another country with money and resources in Asia comes out with the best IA of the next gen. And they will have the power to develop the course of the planet. The thing is that maybe AI is the only chance we have to save ourselves from extintion, climate change etc.

Reply to Reddit, what is the most terrifying moment of your ENTIRE life? by hyper-v_alone

When i was 15 and hanging out with a group of friends in the woods near our school after school. Some of the boys had made a fire because it was cold, a boy who had been playing with the fire had lit a stick and was walking around with it like a torch. Some home the stick connected with my boog bag which was hanging from my shoulder and lit the school bag and hair on fire.

Everyone panicked and by instinct I ran back to the school. Running fed the fire and my cloths were now on fire and my skin was being burned. I was seen by a teacher who put me on the ground and put the fire out. I was taken to hospital as i was burned from the top of my head down onto the top of my leg just above my knee. Much of my hair on one side of my head was burned away, but because the hair burned quickly it was more like a bad sun burn, except for on my neck and along my jaw bone where my jacket and backpack burned. Under the bag and where my cloths were, were the worst of the 2nd and 3rd degree burns. My legs were mostly OK too as the skirt i was wearing was wool and did not burn easily and was away from my legs.
