I didn’t know this. Learn something new every day.
Since baseball doesn't rely on a clock, it can take a long time for a game to be played. This rule is supposed to "speed up" the extra-inning game. It's also meant to keep the fans interested. It must be a new rule.

Marilyn Monroe’s final home declared landmark, saved from demolition
The current neighbors wanted to knock the residence down to expand their estate.
The beloved final home of Hollywood legend #Marilyn #Monroe has been declared a historic cultural monument by the Los Angeles City Council after it was granted a last-minute reprieve from demolition in October 2023.
In its application for landmark status, the L.A. #Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing historic buildings and places in the city, called Monroe’s former residence “the first place she sought out and bought for herself and on her own.”
Brinah Milstein and Roy Bank, the current owners of the home, live next door and bought the property for $8.35 million to demolish it to expand their own estate, EuroNews reported. They have filed a lawsuit against the city that remains pending.

Final thought of the night!
You got nothing to say, nothing to post or Thread about?
Remember I did not miss a day on Hive, even during my wife's death.

I was expecting my brother-in-law and mother-in-law to come back to my house tonight. Nice of them to call and let me know they were not! Sarcasim incase you missed it.

I thought Apple Intelligence would mostly run on the device's own hardware. So you'd basically have to pay extra to be allowed to utilize your own hardware then. That's comparable to paying a subscription fee to your graphics card provider for being allowed to utilize your graphics card.
Hopefully they're only referring to the cloud service version of the system though

It was a decent book. This is from the Austrian school of economics, which has its major flaws in my opinion. To start, it was designed at a time when we were not a global world. That is one of the underlying facts that disrupt many of their theories.
Actually that is my problem with the economics profession (other than they are wrong more often than weather people)...they operate in the world of theory.
hmm interesting. lucky you I would say I am in my late 20s and still have to do a job for a few more decades 😁 . Maybe after a decade, I will say the same line. thanks
We have stake in the network. That is extremely valuable. We are rapidly moving to a world where infrastructure is going to be distributed. This is going to have an effect on how people earn.
Sure, I think there will be an inflection point at some point before 2030. Next decade will be completely different than what we have in the traditional systems.
Since childhood one has the tastes of victory and happiness, and the bitter time of loss and sorrow, all these have helped me to learn the importance of never giving up.
@hivedrip, I want to clarify the change in my daily DRIP from 0.5625 down to 0.05625. Is it a mistake? Or is this the new adjustment computation in daily DRIP?

At school, we learned some basic budgeting and how the progressive income tax system works - which is useless for most people since it's automatically deducted from them. Anything about investing, nope. Hit up youtube (avoid anyone selling courses or hyping a crypto) and find some highly recommended books and read them.
For now, they invest mainly in ETFs and stocks. Crypto is an advanced topic, though I wouldn't be against them putting some of their portfolios into the big two.

I was trying to publish to a new community, and couldn't find it so I used the community search function and found it, joined it and then went back to publish to find my draft. I got there, clicked drafts and got this error message.
🧵 1. France secures Euro 2024 quarterfinal spot with a 1-0 win over Belgium thanks to Muani's late goal, setting up a clash with Portugal or Slovenia. #sports
🧵 5. A deflected effort from Muani lifts France over Belgium, marking their progress in the tournament as they eye a strong performance in the quarterfinals.
Over 100 miles after we left Amarillo, Texas behind, we reached Texola, Oklahoma. What the small town lacked in size, it overcompensated with murals & painted signs reminding travelers of its place on Rte 66 (Texola, Route 66).
That’s a great question. I think for about 80% of people they just have a really hard time getting used to any kind of cultural habits they aren’t used to. The opposite of flexible. This often comes across as xenophobia, which it might be for about 20% but definitely not for the majority.
Tattoos are “considered taboo” in Japan but that’s such an old idea and if you saw the amount of people with tattoos here you’d never guess that people still held such prejudices but they do. No one cares but they pretend to care because they think they are supposed to care.
Even if we were all the same race, religion, and what not, we would then discriminate bases upon eye color, height or something these we could point to that "makes us better or right" and "them worse or wrong".
Vacationing in Japan and all the street signs were in Japanese Alphabet called Kanji, not Japanese language using Roman Letters... My translator was no help
I remember when I visited Quetta, a capital city in another province, for the first time. People spoke the same Pashtu language. They used the word 'yah' to say no, which was so confusing as we used it to express yes instead. I had so many funny and weird encounters.
Besides, my first impression from the US was: Gosh, it's all huge around here. Huuuge. Cars, houses, distances, people (yes, I could tell I'm back to Europe when I started meeting thin people in a mass scale).
I actually experience culture shocks when travelling to small towns and villages of my own country rather than abroad :) In some places of the Czech Republic, there's still the post-soviet vibe present, and some people seem to enjoy it rather than fighting it.
My first time I experienced it was when I stayed in 2 Mormon host families in Idaho for a couple of weeks. Definitely awesome people and very host friendly!
Not sure if this is considered a culture shock but when I was in New Zealand and tried to buy wine, they asked for my ID thinking I was way too young, lol! But yeah, it was surprising because I was in my 30s then.
One of the culture shocks I've experienced was seeing live snakes in containers displayed in some restaurants in Guangzhou China and learning that they actually serve snake meals there. So exotic for me.
This reminded me of my first time in the CNMI where people had loud music in their cars like they owned the streets. I may have stared at some of them, lol!
You wouldn't know it's duck blood when it's cooked. It's like tofu but a bit more flavorful. The one I tried was in a soup so I thought it was colored tofu, lol!
strange food I’ve eaten but don’t like or hate: sea turtle, whale (sorry lol), snake (in China), Bear (never mind it was gross), baby squid, fermented soy beans
I love most Japanese food but I’ll never get used to raw horse. I like the taste of raw beef but I don’t like worrying about if I’m going to get sick so I rarely eat it.
my first culture shock in Japan was seeing a huge wave of office workers commuting home, all wearing the same clothes. In 2007, EVERYONE dressed the same
the second thing that really shocked me in Japan was how loud the staff can be when they say “Welcome”. In Japan people tend to be quiet so I felt really annoyed at them for breaking the silence. They can be SO loud
the convenience store and staff used to get very very awkward if you made small talk with them. Small talk with strangers isn’t a thing in Japan although they are less awkward about it these days
the nasaly voice of staff really confused me too. Why do they talk like that? Later I learned it’s a way to make people feel less intimidated. It’s seen as polite 🤷♂️
After years in Asia I went back to my hometown and in a restaurant I picked up the plate and brought it close to my mouth. This is considered rude in America and I couldn’t understand why. It’s practical!
I remember being loud myself when I was a kid. When I first got my drivers license I played really really loud music with the windows open. I would NEVER do that in Japan but in America it feels alright
also drivers are incredibly careful, like unbelievably. They will slow down and stop no matter how far you are from the curb. It’s actually illegal for them to not come to a complete stop at a crosswalk.
Another funny thing in Japan. People rarely jaywalk. But if they see you doing it they might follow you. Like as soon as someone else breaks the rules they feel more comfortable doing it
I have a lot more that I can say about Japan but I want to give people a chance to reply so I will slow down with my threads and wait for people to come join me
Culture Shock mine necessarily about different countries. It can also be a big difference between office culture or different groups of friends who have their own habits and norms
one of the hardest things to get used to is how Americans love to debate. I always hate that when I go home. I am happy to discuss and laugh and listen to each other but I don’t like competitive conversation
I believe that discussions don’t need to have winners and losers even if we disagree. The goal should just be to share each others point of view and try to understand. We can have a winner if it’s a structured debate but I hate that in casual conversation
feel free to share positive and negative things here but try to be polite if you are speaking of something you dislike! It’s fine to dislike things but don’t be mean about it
my biggest culture shock in Kowloon is how mixed the society is. You have organized crime and old ladies and high school kids eating at the same sweets shop at 1AM
that’s the one thing I can’t get used to in Japan. Apartments are soooo small. I know in America they can be pretty big but those are become less attainable by my generation. Still small houses are bigger than large houses here
Kowloon at 3 AM is wild. Still people eating and walking around and lots of shady business. My biggest surprise was all the dirty old men. It’s like a paradise for them. They gamble on horse races all day and pay for pleasures every night 🙄
One example of what I mistook for Xenophobia in Japan is the difficulty foreigners have renting an apartment. I was rejected from about 80 of 100 apartments on the simple fact that I was a foreigner. But then I learned for my Japanese friends it was even worse if they are freelancers or didn’t go to university. @taskmaster4450
Another Thing I mistook as xenophobia was the likelihood of foreign people to get stopped by police, and that’s true for south Asians, sadly, but it happens way more often to any Japanese friends with a beard or tattoos
Another time was in Poland which made it even stranger as it's not that far away from Belgium, here as well people, including teenagers were quite religious.
Ofcourse everyone can practice religion as he/she likes to but compared to Belgium where the churches are running empty and nearly only the elderly are going to messes, I would consider it atleast as a difference in culture
I think this is too big a topic. Modern people have addictive personalities and Americans tend to be more outgoing so this leads to more reckless forms of alcoholism. Govt always tries to fix the symptom rather than the cause which is not alcohol but many many other social factors
The question is how would AI be effective in countering the narrative things. AI does not have anything on its own to set the tone. It is pure gambling of data. So it can capture things from the available data
So the accuracy problem is posited in the opposite pole of narrative. Narrative has become the new currency of engagement. That means even a false narrative can sail through if accentuated by numbers.
That is true but narratives are all over the place. Now we can see selective data which google is obviously doing. But then there are other models out there.
The question is will #ai realize it is being fed a narrative based upon bias? Time will tell on that.
But if AI has access to data across the entire spectrum, then we will see better outputs.

Yeah. Well it is the downside of adding more. But the tradeoff is worth it I believe.
Maybe should have written Norma Jean Baker, Marilyn Manson is still alive... He looks dead though! 😆
LOL he looked dead 30 years ago. He can be looking any better.
Of course Alice Cooper is in his 70s and still dancing around...and he looked dead, well, in the 1970s.

It's time to look over the nieces' and nephews' portfolios for the month. Some are putting in extra money, which is good.
So nice that you help them and set them up for a financially better future.
Research shows that most people learn finance education from family. Schools, even those with financial literacy programmes, just aren't so good.
Thats probably why financial smartness is not that evenly spread around the population.
I never learn any thing useful in finance from school.
At school, we learned some basic budgeting and how the progressive income tax system works - which is useless for most people since it's automatically deducted from them. Anything about investing, nope. Hit up youtube (avoid anyone selling courses or hyping a crypto) and find some highly recommended books and read them.
Do you invest in crytpo or stocks with them?
For now, they invest mainly in ETFs and stocks. Crypto is an advanced topic, though I wouldn't be against them putting some of their portfolios into the big two.

Over 100 miles after we left Amarillo, Texas behind, we reached Texola, Oklahoma. What the small town lacked in size, it overcompensated with murals & painted signs reminding travelers of its place on Rte 66 (Texola, Route 66).

Share a time you experienced culture shock or ask any question you want about another culture.
I’m an American who lives in Japan so you can ask me about either 🇺🇸 or 🇯🇵
That’s a great question. I think for about 80% of people they just have a really hard time getting used to any kind of cultural habits they aren’t used to. The opposite of flexible. This often comes across as xenophobia, which it might be for about 20% but definitely not for the majority.

Along those same lines, why is Japan so low in terms of immigration?
They have historically very low numbers especially considering they are facing a population decline.
Is this something being addressed?
Tattoos are “considered taboo” in Japan but that’s such an old idea and if you saw the amount of people with tattoos here you’d never guess that people still held such prejudices but they do. No one cares but they pretend to care because they think they are supposed to care.
Humans will use anything to divide and exclude.
Even if we were all the same race, religion, and what not, we would then discriminate bases upon eye color, height or something these we could point to that "makes us better or right" and "them worse or wrong".
Vacationing in Japan and all the street signs were in Japanese Alphabet called Kanji, not Japanese language using Roman Letters... My translator was no help
Coool!
I remember when I visited Quetta, a capital city in another province, for the first time. People spoke the same Pashtu language. They used the word 'yah' to say no, which was so confusing as we used it to express yes instead. I had so many funny and weird encounters.
Besides, my first impression from the US was: Gosh, it's all huge around here. Huuuge. Cars, houses, distances, people (yes, I could tell I'm back to Europe when I started meeting thin people in a mass scale).
I actually experience culture shocks when travelling to small towns and villages of my own country rather than abroad :) In some places of the Czech Republic, there's still the post-soviet vibe present, and some people seem to enjoy it rather than fighting it.
My first time I experienced it was when I stayed in 2 Mormon host families in Idaho for a couple of weeks. Definitely awesome people and very host friendly!
Awesome people like that stay in the heart forever. You must have enjoyed your time with them.
True and I definitely did. They were definitely among the most host friendly people I've stayed with!
That's great to hear :)
Haha, I can only imagine how people in America reacted when you did that. It is normal in Asia :)

Not sure if this is considered a culture shock but when I was in New Zealand and tried to buy wine, they asked for my ID thinking I was way too young, lol! But yeah, it was surprising because I was in my 30s then.
I had a similar experience during my first time in HK. I was shocked but also fascinated.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-selfhelp4trolls-zop9xuap
The times I experienced a culture shock often was in regards to religion. As someone from Belgium, that was quite a 'shock'
Are the Japanese as ethnocentric as they are reported to be?
One of the culture shocks I've experienced was seeing live snakes in containers displayed in some restaurants in Guangzhou China and learning that they actually serve snake meals there. So exotic for me.
Oh! I have not encountered that, but then there was never a time I stayed out late during my visits to Kowloon :)
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-selfhelp4trolls-wlxmna9f
Whoa! You're adventurous! Luckily, I haven't seen worms on their menus.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-selfhelp4trolls-2hh1hxp2x
This reminded me of my first time in the CNMI where people had loud music in their cars like they owned the streets. I may have stared at some of them, lol!

One of my friends dared me to try it and I actually liked it😅
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-selfhelp4trolls-2hqgg6tgm
What the... are you serious, wow duck blood was it cooked or raw. Would throw up if it's me though.
You wouldn't know it's duck blood when it's cooked. It's like tofu but a bit more flavorful. The one I tried was in a soup so I thought it was colored tofu, lol!
Haha thats nasty lolzzz hmmmm i will browse about the view lets see how it looks
Hahaha! I can only imagine. She must have thought you learned some rude manners from where you went to😂

it's good to be here
A lot of stuff in their life was centered around their religion, which was kind of strange to me although I respected it ofcourse.
Please tell me more instances of culture shock! I have more to share but I want to hear others first!
some foods I never imagined I’d love from Japan:
Salmon eggs, Cod eggs, fish prostate, monkfish liver (have you seen a monkfish?), dried sting ray fin.
I’m still not a fan of intestines! I know it’s common in many cultures but no thanks!
strange food I’ve eaten but don’t like or hate: sea turtle, whale (sorry lol), snake (in China), Bear (never mind it was gross), baby squid, fermented soy beans
I love most Japanese food but I’ll never get used to raw horse. I like the taste of raw beef but I don’t like worrying about if I’m going to get sick so I rarely eat it.
in China I used to love to eat duck blood. It doesn’t look like blood. It looks like red tofu! It’s delicious.
I’ve eaten snake in Guangzhou! At a party with locals. I didn’t mind it but I’d never order it myself. The sea worms were disgusting though!
https://inleo.io/threads/view/ifarmgirl/re-selfhelp4trolls-2abqa9nnp
Oh! That's really surprising. I'm just glad to have not seen any of it haha

Speaking about driving, a drivers license costs about $2000 USD in Japan. That’s insane! In America I think it costs $30. In Japan you HAVE to take classes for weeks even if you can already drive in another country.

I’ll leave my own experiences until the thread starts moving.
to reply to someone, please copy and paste the url and post it in the main thread rather than replying inside the comment
my first culture shock in Japan was seeing a huge wave of office workers commuting home, all wearing the same clothes. In 2007, EVERYONE dressed the same
the second thing that really shocked me in Japan was how loud the staff can be when they say “Welcome”. In Japan people tend to be quiet so I felt really annoyed at them for breaking the silence. They can be SO loud
the convenience store and staff used to get very very awkward if you made small talk with them. Small talk with strangers isn’t a thing in Japan although they are less awkward about it these days
the nasaly voice of staff really confused me too. Why do they talk like that? Later I learned it’s a way to make people feel less intimidated. It’s seen as polite 🤷♂️
there’s a lot more culture shock I felt in Japan but let me first share some culture shock I felt going back to America
After years in Asia I went back to my hometown and in a restaurant I picked up the plate and brought it close to my mouth. This is considered rude in America and I couldn’t understand why. It’s practical!
I was also really shocked at how loud people could be in public in America after 5 years in Japan.
I remember being loud myself when I was a kid. When I first got my drivers license I played really really loud music with the windows open. I would NEVER do that in Japan but in America it feels alright
Hi! Where are you from? Any experience with culture shock from other countries, tribes or even age groups?
https://inleo.io/threads/view/etorobong/re-selfhelp4trolls-33udgiy9q
also drivers are incredibly careful, like unbelievably. They will slow down and stop no matter how far you are from the curb. It’s actually illegal for them to not come to a complete stop at a crosswalk.
in America we secretly break rules when no one is looking. In Japan it happens but it’s much much more rare
Another funny thing in Japan. People rarely jaywalk. But if they see you doing it they might follow you. Like as soon as someone else breaks the rules they feel more comfortable doing it
I have a lot more that I can say about Japan but I want to give people a chance to reply so I will slow down with my threads and wait for people to come join me
Culture Shock mine necessarily about different countries. It can also be a big difference between office culture or different groups of friends who have their own habits and norms
I used to get culture shock in America because different communities and age groups and personalities will shake hands differently
I feel culture shock with my students at times because a lot of music and art I consider normal is very very strange for them
I love these little differences though. They make life exciting. I embrace the differences 99% of the time
one of the hardest things to get used to is how Americans love to debate. I always hate that when I go home. I am happy to discuss and laugh and listen to each other but I don’t like competitive conversation
I believe that discussions don’t need to have winners and losers even if we disagree. The goal should just be to share each others point of view and try to understand. We can have a winner if it’s a structured debate but I hate that in casual conversation
feel free to share positive and negative things here but try to be polite if you are speaking of something you dislike! It’s fine to dislike things but don’t be mean about it
your translator couldn’t read kanji? That’s not a real translator 😂

my mom was appalled. I was like “it’s al good, it’s 2015! Nobody else cared
https://inleo.io/threads/view/ifarmgirl/re-selfhelp4trolls-2mgs3ehkr
my biggest culture shock in Kowloon is how mixed the society is. You have organized crime and old ladies and high school kids eating at the same sweets shop at 1AM
https://inleo.io/threads/view/ifarmgirl/re-selfhelp4trolls-2fqodhi7r
that’s funny! Of all words to mean “no” it had to be “yah”!
https://inleo.io/threads/view/khantaimur/re-selfhelp4trolls-38c3fb4nn
what kind of post-Soviet vibe? I can’t imagine!
https://inleo.io/threads/view/godfish/re-selfhelp4trolls-27y8nngxz
that’s the one thing I can’t get used to in Japan. Apartments are soooo small. I know in America they can be pretty big but those are become less attainable by my generation. Still small houses are bigger than large houses here
https://inleo.io/threads/view/godfish/re-selfhelp4trolls-243yj7ta1
Kowloon at 3 AM is wild. Still people eating and walking around and lots of shady business. My biggest surprise was all the dirty old men. It’s like a paradise for them. They gamble on horse races all day and pay for pleasures every night 🙄
https://inleo.io/threads/view/ifarmgirl/re-selfhelp4trolls-mjvta47c
in America they have to ask for your ID no matter how old you are. Even my 97 year old grandma
https://inleo.io/threads/view/ifarmgirl/re-selfhelp4trolls-jjmd7br8
One example of what I mistook for Xenophobia in Japan is the difficulty foreigners have renting an apartment. I was rejected from about 80 of 100 apartments on the simple fact that I was a foreigner. But then I learned for my Japanese friends it was even worse if they are freelancers or didn’t go to university. @taskmaster4450
Another Thing I mistook as xenophobia was the likelihood of foreign people to get stopped by police, and that’s true for south Asians, sadly, but it happens way more often to any Japanese friends with a beard or tattoos
Another time was in South Africa where even quite a lot of teenagers still were really religious in my eyes.
Another time was in Poland which made it even stranger as it's not that far away from Belgium, here as well people, including teenagers were quite religious.
Ofcourse everyone can practice religion as he/she likes to but compared to Belgium where the churches are running empty and nearly only the elderly are going to messes, I would consider it atleast as a difference in culture
Aha! That I didn't know and why would they do that?
https://inleo.io/threads/view/selfhelp4trolls/re-selfhelp4trolls-391nhqvrk
That's quite interesting. Younger generations may have another way of practicing theirs and does not include going to churches :)
https://inleo.io/threads/view/stekene/re-selfhelp4trolls-2haf3vvse
I know they don’t drink alcohol but I don’t know much else about their practices
https://inleo.io/threads/view/stekene/re-selfhelp4trolls-2dgemkcox
I think this is too big a topic. Modern people have addictive personalities and Americans tend to be more outgoing so this leads to more reckless forms of alcoholism. Govt always tries to fix the symptom rather than the cause which is not alcohol but many many other social factors

So AI has reduced the latency time of searching and accessing information?
#askonleo #polls
The latency was reduced but now we are dealing with accuracy problems. That should be handled with the next couple generations and improved training.
The question is how would AI be effective in countering the narrative things. AI does not have anything on its own to set the tone. It is pure gambling of data. So it can capture things from the available data
So the accuracy problem is posited in the opposite pole of narrative. Narrative has become the new currency of engagement. That means even a false narrative can sail through if accentuated by numbers.
That is true but narratives are all over the place. Now we can see selective data which google is obviously doing. But then there are other models out there.
The question is will #ai realize it is being fed a narrative based upon bias? Time will tell on that.
But if AI has access to data across the entire spectrum, then we will see better outputs.
Yes.
I hope AI becomes the new leveller.
It will be if allowed to develop. What regulation, that always favors the powerful.
True
