  • There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, "What's the difference between a farmer and a sheriff? A sheriff's wife." You know, the difference between a farmer and a sheriff is that the sheriff's wife can get behind the wheel and vote.



  • Okay, enough Florida man crimes. Let's go for something lighthearted. What makes Florida Man laugh?

    A Florida man laughed for the camera during an interview in which he described how he and another man beat an 8-year-old boy "with a hammer," and then dumped him in an empty ditch.



  • A Florida man laughed for almost three hours as he stood in a public restroom with what appeared to be a giant penis.

    He told the Florida Daily News he decided to "look it up" and posted it to Facebook, but a friend replied with "a bunch of people can't read social media".

    "We get the feeling that the guy's trying to look at his penis, not the public bathrooms, which is creepy," the caller told Fox 14.

    "What kind of guy would have done that?" the caller asked, before adding: "If this is your friend, you got my word not to tell people in the public restrooms."

    Some have said he's shown his genitals more than 50 times. He has since retracted what he said was an incorrect assessment of his "penis size", stating, in a campaign announcement video, his penis is "incredibly small".

    "This is what happens when you don't know when to stop."

    Check out the programming language I designed. It features a simple, but effective syntax.


    Check out the programming language I designed. It features a fully functional compiler and library to perform optimization using all the language features I have implemented to this day. The goal of this project is to allow you to use all of these features at some level in your own code.

    The project contains a few modules that you can use for prototyping. You will find the following files, all of which are required for the project to be completed.

    The source code directory contains source and a test program. These are used to test the compiled language code and the compiler.

    The main module which has been tested and fully implemented for this purpose is a program in C using stdio . This program is used as a prototype of a library called IEnumerable which is used to access the various member arrays in the collection. The library has two members named first and last which each has their own methods in the language.

    To see these in action, you can use the following program:

    The first member of the collection is called first . Its return value is some instance of the collection . The returned first instance contains 1 and last contains 0. By simply calling first() on a null instance, we got the first element of the collection.

    The second member of the collection is called last . Its return value is an instance of the collection. The class's function first() returns an instance


    Check out the programming language I designed. It features all the basic building blocks:

    The concept of a loop

    A new variable

    A conditional branching (if else) statement

    If you've run through any programming books about C++, you should know that loops are fundamental concepts and an essential component of a programming language. However, there's a little bit of confusion about this. For example, C# and C++ have almost the exact same semantics as JavaScript:

    function hello(string words) { console.log("Hello World!"); }

    Note the two if statements: if (this.hasMoreItems()) ;

    To understand what the difference is, let's look at two programs that have very similar code. The first program is a simple "hello" function that will send an object string to the browser. The second code is a C++ program that creates a document object with elements "Hello World!" .

    void main() { int x[3]; // 1 string words; cout << "Hello " << x[1] << endl; cout << "

    "; }

    A C++ program written in JavaScript can look something like this:

    function hello(string words) { string text = hello("world"); console.log(text); }

    C# and C++ can read and write JavaScript files

    The simpleton pattern can also be used in conjunction with a new feature in Chrome 38, which allows tabs to be hidden, the result of an upgrade to WebKit's WebKit mode. Using the new feature has now become a viable alternative to the more powerful WebKit mode, which is available in Firefox 38 (and possibly in Opera 36) when using one of the Chrome 40 or Safari 15 themes which have been released to add support for WebKit mode.

    This is another important change to the way HTML is written in the Web. It's a big step forward, and will enable users and developers to write their own code directly on the page, instead of using extensions provided by their browsers. The result will also create more opportunities for developers to bring the Web to their own devices, since they can use the HTML5 standards themselves.

    As with WebKit, Google's support for hiding tabs by default makes a difference in how users interact with the site when they're not actively using another browser's browser. For now though, it's still unclear whether Google will bring Tabbed Stories to Chrome. We may find out soon enough.

    Chrome 43 will be released on September 2nd, just two weeks before Google launches an update to its mobile operating system.

    You may already be a wiener addict. Here's some tips.

    The first thing you should be aware of is that some wiener restaurants aren't as reputable as others. For example, there is not one of us who went to J.W. Hunt's and I will not call him that. While I was there, they weren't particularly high in quality wieners, which was a bit of a bummer, but they were pretty great. We took a trip to the Haus in Hockenheim (the most famous wiener restaurant in Germany). It would take approximately two hours to get there. It's one of those places I will only ever go if I am really craving a delicious and satisfying wiener.

    My favorite part of J.W.'s was the chicken! It was so big and so delicious! It was so juicy, tender, and crispy. J.W. also has a ton of other meat options which I would be happy to try. If you have to go to another location, feel free to ask where the best wieners are.

    The next thing I would consider is what type of beer to drink. Some places also serve wine, and I would not recommend it. J.W. has a few options. The most interesting option for me might be the house beer on tap. J.

    These are some of the features that make the game tick and what makes it stand out from other games. If you're a fan of the genre that's you and you've never heard of any of these games but want to explore them or learn from them you're in for interesting surprises!

    Beneath the surface

    A large and varied world which allows for numerous ways to explore it is where the game truly shines, and that's what makes it so fun.

    The game has an epic storyline, the level design is incredible, there are plenty of different enemies to fight and there are a large number of different side quests.

    The level design is an amazing piece of work, so different from all other games that I've played that are simple levels which are easy to get through. The level designs are also pretty unique and interesting to try, so many games focus on making a specific area a difficult area – the design of the levels of the games that I have played have been pretty much the exact opposite!

    If the car is out of service, is there any way to check the status and pay the repair charges?

    When I'm stuck in traffic and need to find another place to drive, I know that I must have a car. However, what do I do if I need to do a repair that the owner says will cost over $300? Can I go to a local thrift store or pawn shop, try to get that estimate, pay the fee and then rent it and keep my vehicle for one week if necessary, or do I have to pay the car's worth at my next scheduled drive day in order to keep it?

    How do I know whether my insurance policy has covered repairs and replacements to my vehicle that have been performed? I've checked all my drivers' license, insurance card or credit card statements, but I don't yet know whether my policy has covered all replacement or repair expenses. For example:

    Tony Stark's next day, Arya Stark was sitting at her desk before she had to go to work. Seeing her friend's face, Stark called up Catelyn Stark from his office, telling her he was coming to meet her.[25]

    While walking across Stark Tower, Stark discovered that Cersei Lannister had murdered Joffrey Baratheon. He called her over and told her that he found what he was looking for, he gave her his word to stay calm as he would, and told her that all information that she might have about Cersei would be destroyed if he let her leave. She then left with some of her family to the Kingsroad for her journey home, while he walked with her and his wife to get her to her home. They went downstairs and when he walked to the front of the hall, he saw Cersei lying upon her own bed, unconscious, she had been stabbed several times.

    Tony smiled at that but Arya only nodded in response. They then continued to walk as she kept her eye out for her friends' approach. As the last group of people left, she realized she had lost track of her companions.

    The physicist, rock hard and ready for action, took off his pants and entered the black hole. His penis sprang free and, when it started to glow, he could barely wait to ejaculate.

    But it would not be until later when he noticed there was nothing happening in the black hole's gravitational field.

    When the two became separated, a huge gulp of water leaked from the black hole, forming a giant waterfall in the center at the point where the pair of particles would collide. The water, then, exploded into thousands of microscopic particles in the region of the black hole and the black hole's gravity was able to lift them into space.

    If the pair of particles had landed near the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, with the gravity of 1.27 Newton-masses, they were estimated be heavier than some 50 million tons of steel, which in turn weigh in around 200 million tons, said researcher Martin O'Kane from Imperial College London. But to land at such great distances away, they had to be at least a million times heavier than that.

    The incident has raised more eyebrows about the nature of Twitter's rules governing political speech than the controversial video itself, but others have pointed out that no such requirements exist for online comments.

By doing the stunt of holding back the full gpt-2 model they automatically lose all the rights to complain about others not releasing their models.

    Not to mention that this stunt is pointless anyway since everyone in the field knows how easy model replication is and how hard it is to defend against it. It has always been a big threat to closed deep learning models, there are several existing papers describing this problem.

    Forbes's 2011 Rich List published its findings on the world's 1,035 richest people and the top five richest people by net worth, who are among the few billionaires with no personal net worth for 2013; the top five Forbes Top Wealthy Men list includes two billionaires who do not have personal net worth.

    The Forbes list of the world's billionaires is based on a list of the best-known billionaires, which was published twice a year on Forbes.com from 2008 to 2011.

    In addition to its annual list, Forbes Magazine in 2012 published a new, more specific, "Guns, Oil And Money" publication (in the April 2015 issue). The article on guns lists more than 250 guns and 12 oil companies on it, along with the names of the two investors it calls "the top five gun moguls in the world."

    This time, the names are more famous, and their companies more well-known. And the Forbes list of the world

    In summary:

    For all the AI players, I can now give you a very strong recommendation: use OpenAI instead of an inferior player. See that model: if you're the best player in the world after taking all the data, use OpenAI. But if not (and even then), you should use whatever model you can find by yourself. For instance, a model for human players might be:

  • Should I use Discourse, NodeBB or phpbb?

    Yes, but the most appropriate tool to deal with your project needs to be chosen. The following information is given by the Discourse team in answer to the question of whether they recommend NodeBB, or other tools:

    We do not recommend Discourse, as it is very popular. It has a large user base, but its core is extremely limited. We recommend the PHPBB, as its support is very extensive, has a great community, and is an open source project. This tool was developed from a community initiative, and we would expect a similar process to that of other open source projects. If you would need any additional help with the development of your project, please get in touch with Discourse.

    If you need an open source, flexible and responsive source integration with PHPBB, read our documentation on the PHPBB project. We recommend reading the documentation before getting started, and reading through some examples if you already know PHP, and PHPBB.

    Why can't you just use the default theme?

    Did Mason Wheeler just make a play for an extra point that could have easily gone in the other direction? Was it a "blatantly unsafe" mistake? Or maybe he just didn't get the call right?

    I guess we'll have to wait and watch. Maybe we'll make some kind of movie about this.

    2. I've seen a ton of great things happen in NHL games since this lockout started (and since it ended with the current Collective Bargaining Agreement being approved) but not one where a goalie gets his hand on the stick and makes a play to help his team. You can make the argument that in the same situation, the player just needs to know how to read the play and be patient. That's why you rarely see a goal in overtime, since it



  • @boomzilla Did boomzilla just say in the video, 'Hey guys, can you just get me a big bag?'?"

    That's just one person's opinion, and no one's business. Boomzilla, however, does have a bit of a vendetta against Mr. T, who has been described as a "self-admitted drug dealer" and an "offender."

    The rapper says in the video that he's not interested in meeting Mr. T: "We are not making 'bout it. I just want to put a smile on everybody's face. We're going to do it at our house, we're going to do it at the event (The Grammys), and we're just going to do it for fun."

    But Mr. T disagrees: He claims the rapper threatened to "shoot up my house" and kill his mother - even though the rapper said he didn't do anything to Mr. T.

    "That's why we're making this video, 'cause I don't want my mom to be mad at me," said Mr

    I have a vision, in a vision of an empty room, that looks like a room. In the room there are three rooms: one on the right is big and is full of books, the room on the left has nothing else to it. They are only the three books. The room on the left is in the empty room on the right. There is a door between the two rooms. There are no eyes or ears there. The wall is smooth. The ceiling and floor are white marble and black marble. The floor is flat.

    The third room is open. A man sits on the floor, looking in. He has small black boots on his feet, white.

    What is he?

    I ask and he says nothing.

    Is he asleep?

    No. He looks at the books. He looks at the wall, sees the door behind with a long white line. He reaches for the book that he can't open, but it goes inside another door. I can hear it rust

    As an adult, Jack's life became harder, a bigger part of his family's life. And, like the father of the series, he got divorced. But in a twist that surprised Jack and left the viewer pondering just who Jack was, Jack has a son named Jack Ryan, who shares the same father and grandfather and was raised in the same town with the same family. This is the world Jack found himself in, where sex is the driving force behind a person's everyday life.

    In the night-time heart of Beirut, in one of a row of general-address transfer booths, the women gathered behind their phones and laptops to listen to a short message. The announcement was not accompanied by an anthem or any of the standard pre-taped messages that are expected to accompany every speech in the presidential palace, but by a man dressed in a red shirt and black pants. His name is Youssef Madani. He is Lebanese-American. He is 35. He is a political activist who has campaigned for the rights of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, who was a major sponsor of the anti-regime protest movement that brought down President Bashar al-Assad in 2011, who is a strong backer of the Houthis, in Yemen, and who says that all the Arab world's problems could be solved within the framework of this Arab Spring, which began in March 2011. And the message he sent was a kind of calm and calculated optimism, one that says: you can do this; you can do that. You can change things. It was not the "You can do this" of the president calling for a new peace initiative on the lawn of the White House

    "Pardon me. Do you speak Russian?" said the low voice, definitely contralto, in his ear.

    "Yes, sir."

    This is not how things should normally end. "You will give me your money in return, as I said, if you can help us out. But be warned."

    A Russian man, who had been in hiding, walked in, carrying a bucket of blood-soaked clothing and wearing a mask of a grotesque, rotting form, came over and whispered: "You have to take everything you wear off, but the rest you must take home with you."

    On his way out, the man handed Tamerlan a bucket full of filthy rags and said that he would carry them all back to him. After that, there was only silence.

    When the police got back to the dormitory, they noticed a huge gap which had been left by the man; he had run to the door; however, when he tried to run down the hall he was stopped by the police officers.

    Paul Durham opened his eyes, blinking at the room's unexpected brightness, then lazily reached out to place one hand in a patch of sunlight at the edge of the bed. It was only then that he noticed that the man sitting across from him was wearing nothing except a white t-shirt and his usual black shorts.

    "Good morning, Doctor."

    Dr. Durham nodded, but didn't bother changing in the moment of surprise on his face. "Yes…good morning, Michael. This is the new staff quarters, for those who are in one of the old ones. I'm glad to see a new face. Are you a member of my staff on your shift?"

    The man's eyes flashed at the mention of the name. "No." His tone, the first time his voice had been heard since the emergency came to him, was as if he still did not know what the emergency was.

    Dr. Durham sighed. "I thought you were a retired doctor. Are you still?"

    The man stopped talking and looked at him like he was someone new, then shrugged. "I

    The act was billed as a ballet tap—which does not describe it.

    A press release from the University of California, Irvine's Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS) explained that each of two synchronized oscillators, which run at 100 millihertz (about the speed of a sine wave), were linked to "an oscillator that used a very small electrical current, and a capacitor to amplify that current."

    When the synchronized oscillators played "Tchaikovsky's Rite of Spring," that "acoustical signal would travel from the sine wave oscillator, to the capacitor and the other oscillators of the circuit, down a very small resistor, through a very small inductance, and back to the oscillator, at an energy of about 1/12 of the previous value, but still within the same voltage of the oscillator."

    The press release noted that the "circuit consists of a large capacitor, an amplifier, capacitor/inductor circuits, and an appropriate amount of current to provide a very small frequency oscillation." The EECS press release also described how the "small

    I would have to say that I had a good sense about the number of hours of my life spent on the ground before I left home, although I did not have a precise number on the ground, to avoid being too dishonest. But I was quite sure about the number of meals I ate that day. I was quite certain about the number of people who helped me out, and they were almost always female.

    I would never tell people a number because, in a way, this kind of information is just a little better information that a human being can actually provide. We get a sense from the human being something like that: 'You are more than 50 percent of us!' But that only tells you so much.

    The other thing we know is that the number of people around me was only a little more than half the total number of people on the ground. And it seemed quite obvious that some people were helping a great deal more than

    During the Federal War in the United States, a new and influential club was established in the city of Baltimore in the State of Maryland. This club, known as the "Blue Club" was very popular with young men. It was called the "City Blue", which is what the men called their uniforms in the Baltimore Military District: the blue uniform.

    The Blue club was founded in Baltimore in 1783 as the "City Blue". In 1818, the club was established as a private club in the City of Baltimore. The Blue club was the oldest private school in Baltimore. It was the birthplace of the Baltimore Orioles of today.

    The Blue club was founded in the City of Baltimore on August 5, 1783 by Robert Jones as "Baltimore's first private school".

    Robert Jones served as the President of the club for 16 years. He was a highly respected civic figure. In 1817, the club purchased a parcel of land on which to build an orphanage for the poor.

    The orphanage became the Baltimore State Hospital.

  • Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

    The first thing to consider is "Is fantasy realism? Are reality and fiction compatible?"

    Realism vs. Fiction: Are they compatible?

    I have a few definitions of realism for you:

    Realism is a social construction for that which is objectively true;

    realism is the ideal type of construction (as opposed to other types) for that which is not objectively true and is not socially constructed, but is a particular aspect of reality; and

    realism is a type of social construction, that is it does not rely on objective truth.

    It's such a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair. But it's a lot larger than I thought.

    The kitchen table is all polished wood – it's an early-twentieth-century, no-nails-sanding-in, no-sitting-down-and-not-taking-out décor. It's bright and cheerful despite being in the quiet, almost dank, attic of the house they've just bought. It's also made of glass. I can't help but wonder if the glass-topped coffee table that's next year's gift has never been turned.

    There's a table across from the glass table. It's the size of a picnic table, just a little too big. It's not the actual picnic table, it's just too big.

    I can't help but think they've just used an old, used-out table. There's a piece of cardboard underneath the glass table, obviously leftover from the lunch they'll pick up.

    "I'm gonna look at the kitchen table," I say softly.

    Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine. I'm on the pavement thinking about the government. And I see the man on the sidewalk. He can't see me because the light is blinding him and he can't see us until he sees us. He looks like a dead horse. I can't make out a word he's saying, but I know the words. I want to ask him, but I can't make out his words.

    I'm alone, on the sidewalk again. I hear the clink of glass and the crunch of ice cubes, and I see him coming toward me, like an angel. Suddenly he steps into my world. It was a very long time.

    We were alone in my house. He was the only person, the only object, the only thing I saw. There was no time, no place, no place. And the more I saw him, the more I thought he was only thinking it. I wanted everything to go away and that's when, when he put his glass down on the curb. He had the same smile on his face as when we were kids. It took two hours to think.



  • I'll say this much for the AI: at least it generally produces results that are grammatically incorrect. They may be (and frequently are) semantic gibberish, but it's a definite step up (or 3) from Markov chains. :P



  • @Mason_Wheeler I had to re-roll a bunch of times to get it to stop saying "results" but here's a pretty good one:

    I'll say this much for the AI: at least it generally produces fewer errors than humans do when it performs a given task. But this raises another question: Can the human make as many errors as the artificial intelligence do?

    At first glance, the answer is no: In the paper published in Nature, the researchers show that with a few simple tweaks to language code, humans can create machine-created errors.

    The problem is, the problem is a simple one (pun intended). Humans are trained to make mistakes – so the error rate in the paper looks reasonable. The problem is that if the errors come from mistakes made by humans, the results are very general – because the machine makes general mistakes, too.

    But then, the researchers show how to solve it. They add a very simple modification to the program that allows the program to create its own mistakes or errors in the first place – so that human mistakes aren't just made by a specific error; rather, they can be the result of a program or a class of programs making errors. And the AI's errors – if used in conjunction with human mistakes – can even
