The point is the suction; I’m not sure how they’d get decent suction just dumping the waste instead of having a closed second tank.

…why are you in this community?

Prescriptivist takes should generally be reviewed while alert and sober, so that you don’t expose yourself to accusations of hypocrisy or incorrect pedantry!

The word “prompt” is used correctly here:

My college workflow was to copy the prompt and then “paste without formatting” in Word and leave that copy of the prompt at the top while I worked, I would absolutely have fallen for this. :P

That’s the comment you originally responded to. It’s two sentences (with a comma splice) and very clearly has nothing to do with AI.

Misreading this and misunderstanding it, as simple as it is, is embarrassing but understandable. Commenting “I hope you lose your degree” because you can’t read 28 words of text without drawing completely the wrong conclusion is, again, embarrassing, but not dire.

Arguing in multiple comment threads about it, while your misunderstanding is repeatedly and clearly explained to you, and then saying you “stand by” all of this, makes it clear that you are a complete idiot.

Holy shit, “prompt” is not primarily an AI word. I get not reading an entire article or essay before commenting, but maybe you should read an entire couple of sentences before making a complete ass of yourself for multiple comments in a row. If you can’t manage that, just say nothing! It’s that easy!

Wot? They didn’t say they cheated, they said they kept a copy of the prompt at the top of their document while working.

Presumably the teacher knows which students would need that, and accounts for it.

…whose published work on the essay’s subject you can cite?

Sorry, to be clear, you’re saying that potential Trump voters would vote for Stein to protest our relationship with Israel?

If all third-party candidates had to vote for one of the two main candidates, I think nearly all of the Green Party votes would go to the Democrat, while the Libertarian votes would be much more of a split.

Was there actually news indicating that preppers, as a group, were more likely to be against masking than for it?

I wouldn’t be too surprised, but I haven’t actually seen any evidence to this effect.

It’s incorrect. Look at the NYT. The difference is that Politico’s numbers weren’t updated after the final votes were counted.

See how that says “99.8% reporting”? If you look at the NYT, it shows the results after counting 100% of the votes, and it matches what’s in the picture.

The Green Party is far more left-wing than the Libertarian Party is right-wing.

Where are you getting those numbers? The ones in the photo match NYT and Wikipedia.

Why would someone who agrees with the Green Party platform prefer Republicans to Democrats? I’m sure such people exist, but I expect they’re a tiny fraction of Green Party voters.

I mean…okay? My whole point is that “purchase a bunch of music to own forever” and “pay a streaming service to hear a bunch of music once” are totally different use-cases. It’s great that you own music. Good for you. I own some too! But streaming fits my needs better overall.

And all of this is completely beside the point that it’s really not that weird that the cost for two people to stream is higher than the cost for one person to stream.

Get an extension cord?

…sure. Yes. If you own a song, you can listen however many times you want, simultaneously or not.

But streaming services are simply a different value proposition. Listening to an mp3 means either buying all the music you listen to or pirating; it also means having the music stored on your listening device in advance, or streaming from a personal media server. I listen to a lot of music that I haven’t heard before and don’t know if I’ll actually like; I also listen on my phone a fair amount and have a limited amount of storage space for music. For that use-case, streaming is preferable (to me).

Maybe, but how is that different from needing to pay for two separate copies of anything else if two people are using them at the same time in different places?

I’m not a fan of how little the major streaming services (except Tidal) pay artists, but they do all offer bundle packages. Spotify’s pricing is $12 for an individual, $17 for two people, and $20 for a family of up to 6. So it’s only $5 more than the base cost if two people stream simultaneously.
