They probably caught on when people started buying hundreds of xboxes to build supercomputing clusters

It's absolutely better to get chicken pox than shingles

It's not one or the other though. If you don't get chicken pox you can't get shingles

Or just... teach them? play movie.mkv isn't rocket science.

Instructions on how to switch to HDMI 1 are currently taped to the back of my mom's TV remote

Stomach acid is like 10,000,000x more acidic than most alkaline water is basic. Dilution is probably doing an order of magnitude more work than the hydroxide here (meaning just drink more tap water)

Things like gradient boosting, supervised + reinforcement learning, NLP (sentiment analysis), etc have been used in algorithmic trading for decades.

Hell, much to the chagrin of statisticians, some people even lump linear regression under the AI umbrella

Also I think you are confusing fundamentals and technicals

If you've had chicken pox before and have had mysterious pain/tingling on an arm/leg on the same side of the body as those for the past few days it could be shingles

I just had it at 33 last week and it looked very similar to that when it first popped up

Most can probably go through life without ever having to use the insurance or be stopped by the police.

this is anecdotally super wrong.

I drive like 15,000 km a year (VERY LITTLE) - in the past 20 years I've hit probably a half dozen ride programs and been rear ended twice by someone else while fully stopped at a red light

While I've never had to actually file an insurance claim, there have been plenty of times I've had to present it

If the first lady wasn’t in great shape, she would’ve fallen. But she’s in great shape

For a second I had this confused with the Toronto mayoral election, where the former sex pest mayor is rumored to be considering re-running against the person who supplanted him last election

Fair - point still stands though - the application only has a single breakpoint defined at 600sp from a cursory glance, the lack of an ultra-wide specific layout is just because it hasn't been implemented rather than a shortfall of GTK (though I'm not sure you would even want to make the message view wider, as it would impair readability)
