This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed three sessions under the same condition.
So if I'm reading this right, there were armed peacekeeping volunteers organized with the event (not necessarily by the protest organizers but they were part of the protest). One of them saw a guy grab an AR-15 from an alley and confronted him. The rifle-weilder raised his rifle, the peacekeeper fired several shots, killing a random person and wounding the rifleman. The rifleman is being charged with the murder because Utah law probably counts anybody dying as the result of a crime to be murder for the person committing (a few states do that). They're currently investigating the peacekeeper.
I'm curious to know more about this peacekeeper business. Were they openly armed? Were they all armed? How big was this group? How were they organized? Presumably the rifleman was trying to start shooting or at least threatening to shoot. If the police weren't sure of that much, they wouldn't have charged him with murder. If the peacekeeper isn't even being arrested, my guess is the police feel very confident about how this went down.
Can someone recommend some decent bike lights? I have a front one that attaches with the rubber band type thing that's pretty good except it turns on in my bag every time so it's always dead when I go to use it.
Needs be removable from the bike easily.
I would prefer USB C over micro USB. Or maybe rechargeable AA battery which I already own.
Also the rear light is gonna be attached to milk crate on the back rack.
It's for a city just to be seen so I don't need 7150 lumens.
I mainly use this rear light. It comes with a bracket so you can mount it to the back of your rear rack. Then you just clip it in. I hate the rubber band lights.

How I got down from the plane in Tirana airport, where they use stairs to get down to the tarmac.
I had to wait until everyone else had deplaned & were whisked away by a bus, then this large specialty lift truck arrived on the other side of the plane from the stairs, elevated up and put over a rickety platform. For someone with acrophobia, it was terrifying. Thankfully, the driver kindly assisted me. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania @disability
View of the rest of the airport lift vehicle, showing two aisle wheelchairs in it. (I can't remember the official name for these.)
Plane aisles are not accessible to regular wheelchairs because the airlines are busy with designs packing people in like sardines. So these are narrower wheelchairs dependent on having an abled air employee push you down the aisle. #Ableism #Accessibility #Travel #Albania
Just a word about Al Jazeera. They are amazing at covering Gaza and West Bank. Not so good at covering Syria, Hezbollah, Iran. I hear that it's to do with their backer Qatar. Qatar is US compromised. They have their own reasons, no doubt and I hope they're hedging their bets. They recently got closer to Iran. They know that with a direct US/Iran war, they're in the crosshairs. They have the largest US base like 50 miles from Doha. Good luck to them..
i would go further and say they're not so good on palestine either. at least not with reporting on the armed resistance. and i mean that historically. of course its much harder now that they're banned.
@benda Yes. I'm told there are differences between the English language and Arabic language AJ. I don't know much about the Arabic site, I just get the Qassam brigade videos from them, they are uncensured. I checked with the ones on X. If I want to see what the resistance actually says, I go to AbolitionMedia. Do you have other sources?
abolition is a big one for me as well. otherwise, al mayadeen cradle, zeteo, and the indian mainstream publications (for some reason) are much better on reporting facts about the middle east.
and i forgot the biggest, if you're interested specifically in the armed resistance on the ground. the electronic intifada has a guy jon elmer who does some sort of weekly series with video footage and analysis of resistance operations.
Iran's FM stated that the aggression of the Israeli regime against Iranian soil would not have been possible without U.S. support, and that the tweets of the U.S. President are indicative of this involvement.

»#Israel’s greatest threat isn’t Iran or Hamas, but its own #hubris. A people whose entire existence depends solely on military might is destined to end up in the darkest corners of destruction, and ultimately, in defeat. « 972mag.com/israels-greatest-th…
»Over the years, the Israeli public has grown convinced that it can exist in this region while harboring deep contempt for its neighbors — engaging in murderous rampages against anyone, whenever and however it pleases, relying solely on brute force. For nearly 80 years, “total victory” has been just around the corner: just defeat the Palestinians, eliminate Hamas, crush Lebanon, destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities — and paradise will be ours.«
»But for nearly 80 years, these so-called “victories” have proven Pyrrhic. Each one digs Israel into a deeper pit of isolation, threat, and hatred. The Nakba of 1948 created the refugee crisis that refuses to go away and laid the foundation for the apartheid regime. The 1967 victory gave rise to an occupation that continues to fuel Palestinian resistance. The war of October 2023 spiraled into a genocide that turned Israel into a global pariah.«
»The Israeli military — central to this entire process — has become a mindless weapon of mass destruction. It maintains its exalted status among a sedated public through flashy stunts: pagers exploding in men’s pockets at a Lebanese market, or a drone base planted in the heart of an enemy state. And under the command of a genocidal government, it digs itself deeper into wars it has no clue how to exit.«
»For so many years, under the spell of this supposedly all-powerful army, Israeli society convinced itself that it was bulletproof. Total worship of the military on the one hand, and arrogant disdain for regional neighbors on the other, bred the belief that we would never pay a price. Then came October 7, shattering — if only for a moment — the illusion of immunity. «
»But rather than reckon with the significance of that moment, the public surrendered to a campaign of revenge. Because only through slaughter did the world make sense again: Israel kills, Palestinians die. Order restored.«
»That’s why the images of bombed buildings in Ramat Gan, Rishon LeZion, Bat Yam, Tel Aviv and Tamra (an Arab city in the Galilee) were so jarring. They were hauntingly similar to the ones we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from Gaza: charred concrete skeletons, plumes of dust, streets buried in rubble and ash, children’s toys clutched by rescue workers. «
»These images delivered a brief rupture in our collective delusion, that we are immune to everything. Civilian casualties on both sides — 13 Israelis and at least 128 Iranians — highlight the human cost of this new front, even if the scale remains a far cry from the devastation routinely inflicted on Gaza. «
»When the Zionist left erupts in celebration over a reckless attack on Iran, it reveals a stubborn attachment to the fantasy that, no matter what we do, or how deeply we alienate ourselves from the region we live in, the army will always protect us. [...] In this sense, the fantasy of immunity granted by the army runs even deeper in the Zionist left than on the right. The right’s answer to its security anxiety is annihilation and ethnic cleansing — that’s its endgame.«
»But the center-left places its faith almost entirely in the army’s supposedly limitless capabilities. Without question, the Jewish center-left in Israel worships the military far more fervently than the right, which treats it merely as a tool to execute its vision of destruction and ethnic cleansing.

Stop using ideological and academic language to address political issues intended for broad public consideration.
Make simple language statements to clearly articulate your points so "everyone" (the vast majority) can understand, not just those with specific education and knowledge.
If you can't do that, then you're insufficiently knowledgeable about your topics, to paraphrase, and shouldn't be pushing your points as being intended for the general public, but just for an elite class, "comrade"

@N.MorganThere were many, many, many attempted and failed vaccines. Which only proves that morons can't do Bayes, and biologists especially can't do math. Since the probability of a successful vaccine, must take into account all the failed one. Poor little morons, so confused about selection and survival bias. But, hey, I suggest all Democrats get extra boosted for riot seasons.
@N.Morgan There is failed, and then there is intent to further the depopulation effects of a virus that was not as effective as it's creators had hoped.
he was the CHOP guy calling vaccinated children Superheroes for getting Covid vaccines. “So I think we need to try and explain to the parent, and to the child, that this makes them superheroes, this makes them Superman. Now the virus or bacteria can just bounce off them. I think we need to do the best we can to do that.”
@HaleakalacraterI'm surprised how easily I can get an LLMs to admit that vaccine "science" is based on un-empircal models, that presupose the outcome, then fabric the "trial", but they'll revert to propaganda immediately afterwards.
I do believe you are helping train AI and large language models with these queries so these actions are commendable. So vaccine “science” is based on predetermined planned “positive” outcomes and doctors and/or CDC/NIH just push it via coercion, approved vaccine schedules and lies? For what purpose though? Kickbacks and monetary gain from big Pharma? Population reduction? Bioweapon development? It certainly isn’t to prevent disease anymore…curious what your opinion is.

These problems are all too common, particularly in aging cranes or those under heavy use without regular upkeep. Fortunately, most issues provide early clues. Learning to recognize and address them can save you from costly repairs and downtime.
Hydraulic systems power cranes, enabling them to handle demanding tasks with ease. When they’re functioning well, they’re practically invisible. But when leaks, overheating, or pressure loss occur, your crane can grind to a halt, stalling your work.
These problems are all too common, particularly in aging cranes or those under heavy use without regular upkeep. Fortunately, most issues provide early clues. Learning to recognize and address them can save you from costly repairs and downtime.
Leaks: Small Drips, Big Problems
Hydraulic leaks are one of the most frequent issues in crane operations. Some are obvious, leaving puddles under the machine. Others are sneaky, seeping slowly and causing unseen damage. Damaged hoses, worn seals, or loose connections are typical culprits, worn down by relentless pressure.
Leaks do more than waste fluid—they hurt performance. You might notice delayed responses or reduced lifting power. Many operators top off the fluid and carry on, but that’s a short-term solution. Unchecked leaks lower system pressure, let air into the lines, and can trigger overheating.
To fix a leak, stop the crane and trace its source. Clean the area, restart the system, and inspect closely. A slight oil spray near a fitting can indicate a serious problem. For Kobelco cranes, keep spare hoses and seals ready to avoid delays. A reliable crane parts supplier can deliver Kobelco crane parts quickly, keeping disruptions to a minimum.
Overheating: A Growing Risk
Hydraulic fluid needs to stay within a specific temperature range to work effectively. When it overheats, it loses viscosity, reducing lubrication and causing parts to wear out faster. This can lead to complete system breakdown.
Look for signs like a burnt odor, dark oil, or uneven crane movements. Overheating can result from low fluid levels, clogged filters, blocked airflow, or a failing cooling system. Pushing the crane too hard, especially in warm conditions, can worsen the problem. Older or heavily used cranes are especially susceptible.
Troubleshoot by checking fluid levels and condition. Replace old oil and clean filters. Clear debris from the cooling system. Using low-quality parts on a Kobelco crane can contribute to overheating, as they tend to run hotter and fail sooner. Stick with Kobelco crane parts from a trusted crane parts supplier to ensure system efficiency.
Loss of Pressure: When Strength Slips
Nothing’s more frustrating than a crane that can’t perform. Loss of hydraulic pressure can make even simple tasks a struggle. Internal issues—like a worn pump, stuck valve, or leaking cylinder—can sap pressure, even without external leaks.
Pressure loss can seem abrupt, with slow or jerky movements disrupting operations. Air in the system, often from leaks, is a frequent cause. Start by checking fluid levels and looking for bubbles. If the problem persists, a pressure test may be necessary. For Kobelco cranes, verify that recent part replacements meet standards, as subpar parts can throw off pressure flow. A dependable crane parts supplier can provide Kobelco crane parts that get your crane back to full strength.
Keeping Issues at Bay
You don’t need a full-time mechanic to keep your hydraulic system in check—just a proactive approach. Regularly inspect fluid levels, scan for leaks, and heed odd noises or smells. Catching a small issue, like a loose fitting, is quick and cheap. Ignoring it can lead to costly repairs, like replacing a failed pump.
High-quality parts are essential. For Kobelco cranes, using cheap components invites trouble. A reputable crane parts supplier ensures you get reliable Kobelco crane parts, saving you from headaches and downtime.
Closing Thought
Hydraulic systems are tough but not indestructible. Leaks, overheating, and pressure loss are warning signs that need immediate attention. Left unchecked, they turn minor problems into major costs.
Stay vigilant with regular checks, quick action, and trusted Kobelco crane parts from a reliable crane parts supplier. This keeps your cranes—and your projects—moving forward smoothly.
