The underlying tech doesn't care about swear words. But, from what I hear, the "AI" models and interfaces that are being marketed for general use have been intentionally trained not to emit such words, and may even be blinded to those words by their creators. I haven't verified it, but supposedly adding "fucking" to your Google / Bing search query will completely disable their "AI" generated results, e.g.

^ This ^ is where I learned the word "aglet" and (looked up) what they were. First time I found them in Terraria, I thought surely it was a typo for "anklet" or something, since that was back in the beta days.

When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can't find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.

The announcement from MS and the linked article both also mention this, though they recommend the real analogue hole: a separate camera pointed at the screen.

For thousands of years, even among the people that knew "dirty jobs" need to be done, more than half won't do them.

I was told in the past that the U.S. didn't actually recognize dual-citizenship. What I was told is untrue. Source: https://www.usa.gov/dual-citizenship

So, yes, a dual-citizen Mexican/American would also be a possibility.

I'm still betting on climate collapse to be the end of global civilization, tho I don't expect that before 2050.

I don't buy an American civil war, but I can see the federal government effectively collapsing soon, but most states hanging together.

I think Mexican is also considered a heritage and not just a nationality. So, you can be "A (person of) Mexican (heritage) living in America (as a citizen)".

Well, some tasks require particular tools. I suppose you could also get a javelin or a bow and arrows. Possibly at Wal-Mart, but more likely specific sports supply or hunting supply stores.

It's America. You should be able to buy a rifle / long gun at your nearest Wal-Mart same day. If you want a pistol, you might have to wait for you background check, but that usually only takes a few days. I also hear single-use short-range firearms can be 3d printed.

IME, that's life in general. Plenty of people complain more than they work on making things better. That's definitely me these last few weeks.

Even when I was being productive, I'm pretty sure I wasn't doing the "dirty work".
