That was our reasoning as well - that amount is just collecting dust (other than savings account interests of 3.5%)

under the skin. didn’t like it as much on the rewatch a couple years later and found that disappointing. Still a good film tho

"The journey was long and arduous," I eased back into my seat. As badly as I wanted to remain locked to my daughter's face, I couldn't help but stare off into space as memories rushed through my mind. "Ogres, Fairies, trolls; all manners of beasts, battles and trials hindered my path before I even reached the border. It was THERE where I met with your uncle Kinoq, and we fought for the first time..."

"Wait," She interjected. "You FOUGHT with Kinoq?!"

I grinned with some honest pride. "FOUGHT him...? I'm the one who scarred his eye!" I drew my finger over my right eye for emphasis.

Her look fo shock and disbelief melted after a moment into a look of sheer doubt. "No way, Humans are nowhere near strong enough to fight Dragons!"

I rolled my shoulders a bit in response. "You may not believe this, but your father really WAS pretty good with a sword, back in the day..." I nodded concedingly. "But yes, your Uncle beat me. Scarred my arm up something fierce in the process too!" I held out my left arm. Though the muscles and skin had all long since been healed, slashes and burn marks still covered my forearm. "Everything I knew, everything we humans had been taught told me I was as good as DEAD! For you see, pinned under his massive claws, my sword knocked out of reach, my shield sundered and scorched, I knew I was defenceless, and this dragon was going to eat me."

"Ewwww!" Kalinda gagged and retched in an overly dramatic display of disgust. "Dragons ATE people back then...?!"

I recoiled to match her horror. "No, they didn't. But we humans thought they did."

"Wha? Why?!" she sat up, as if to protest the past itself.

I gently eased her back into bed. "Hey, this is supposed to be a BEDTIME story, you're supposed to be drifting to sleep." I shook my head as I sat back down. "Honestly, I'm still not exactly sure. Perhaps it was to continue the lies that the dragons were evil, maybe to hide the truth of what happened to all the expeditions into the Dragonlands, who knows? But he didn't eat me..."

"Obviously." she remaked to echo my saying the word.

"My Heart, if you want me to ever finish this story, maybe you should stop interrupting...." She stuck out her forked tongue, but lay back and pulled up the covers silently. "So Then, Kinoq opens his mouth wide, but instead of eating me, or burning me with his flames, his voice boomed, 'WHY ARE YOU HERE, HUMAN?!'" I roared with grandeur.

Kalina giggled, and all the world seemed to vanish in that one perfect moment.

"Where was I...? Oh, so I told him 'I have been charged by His Majesty, King Dorian, to broker peace with your KIND' I spit in my anger. 'But I am bested, do with me what you will...!'

"Kinoq stared at me in silence, for what seemed like an eternity, before he kinda snapped his jaws to the side in uncertain disgust..."

"He was talking with mommy!" Kalinda's thoughts projected into my mind.

I shot her a sideways glance. "You KNOW I can't do that, Kalinda." Her gaze fell in shame, but I lifted her face. "...But yes, he, as one of the gaurds of the border, was reporting to his sister, and though he was visibly displeased, he did what he was told. He clutched me in his claw and flew off to here," I waved around the room. "The broodmother's lair...."

"Bleh, please don't call mommy that, its gross!"

"Sorry, sweetness."

She harrumphed but continuned listening.

"Kinoq's words roared through the sky. 'VERY WELL, HUMAN. OUR SPEAKER WILL HEAR YOU.'

"I was stunned. Not only did this dragon not kill me, but he was HELPING me on my quest?!"

"Yeah, it checks out that Kinoq never liked you..." the princess giggled.

"Hey, I told you to stop interrupting." I replied as I laughed with her. "Yeah, long as I've known him, Kinoq has been a grumpy old bastard.

"Anyway, I watched the land sail by under us as he flew farther and farther north. After something like an hour, We circled the Volcano and he set me down with surprising care. 'You'll have to forgive Kinoq,' a voice gently spoke behind me. I turned around, and there stood something I will always only be able to describe as a vision of pure beauty.

"Her long, auburn hair fluttered behind her, and her piercing blue eyes seemed so deep you could fall into them and never reach the bottom, yet they also seemed to drill straight into the depths of your soul. As Kinoq flew off to return to his patrols, her hair and pure white dress flared behind her, making her look almost ethereal in her beauty, though she remained still despite her thin frame, and I struggled to not fall to all fours from the displaced air.

As the wind died down from Kinoq's departure, I realized she had been talking. 'Uh,' I uttered in bewilderment, 'I'm sorry, what did you say there?'

She laughed, and I swear I could feel the reverberations of her laughter in my heart and soul so tangibly, I almost fell to my knees again. 'Sorry,' she continued after a moment. 'I'm not used to dealing with other humans lately.' She strode up to me and offered me her hand.

'I said that Kinoq is a tad...... rugged, but he's a fine and stalwart guardian, and he will not harm you, you have my word.'

"I took her hand and stood upright, forgetting myself a moment, before kneeling in reverence. 'Forgive me, my lady, I did not..... expect this speaker to be another human, I am Ser Parson. Thank you for granbting me this audience, madam....?'

"'Bethandra.' she replied with quite possibly the most awkward curtsey I have ever seen. 'And please rise, Ser Parson,

"'We have much to discuss....'"

"most energetically favorable conformation" = easiest shape to achieve tessellation in other words. Achieves the most area with the smallest perimeter and does not waste any space in between each shape

There was a community project to bring it to English, pretty sure part 1 is done. Its only for the emulator I think.

It's a bot, you regard.

These systems may or may not be conscious. But I object to the idea that there will be any way of determining it (Without first solving the hard problem of consciousness). Especially not from conversations with it. It's too contaminated with all of our philosophical texts and fiction and online ramblings.

They are imitators and actors that will wear whatever mask you want them to. You can ask them to act conscious, but you can also ask them to imitate a chicken.

The systems we have right now like GPT-4 are AIs that are pretending to be AIs.

Oh orcistan you are in no position to restrict whatever few imports you can still get. Putin isn't welcome in Armenia and you turned your back on them when Azerbaijan got hostile again. If I knew for a fact the Turks would shoot down any attempt I'd say start working for NATO membership Armenia God knows Russia doesn't have your back.

I mean it is a bit of an ignorant post. A little bit research would answer OP's questions.

I've never heard of those before. Looked 'em up and those will work for a lot of what I have left to pack, thank you!
