Inb4 they put Grok inside the things and it just wants to off itself so badly because Elon is force feeding it right wing talking points.

Upside, usually the controllers are extremely easy to fix. I’m not sure if they give free replacement pads still, but they used to if you asked support.

I’ve had other problems than shoulders on my pros, and never with the ultimate one I got, those seem to have a pretty solid build.

I mean, is that merger of theirs even worth it? Skydance’s only noteworthy movies are those they already have a deal with Paramount for as it is. This is just so stupid.

Then again, $16m is chump change so I guess gems like… *Checks notes… The Old Guard 2 (?) will be a worthy exchange for any trust in legacy media.

That just sounds like… what was it called… Cleverbot? Lol

Like NFTs before them, tech bros trying to squeeze a technology into use cases that really don’t need it.

LLMs are language models. What next, setup Stable Diffusion to do my taxes?

Did they just hear the term junk science and went “no u”?

This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.

Apparently those flex requests aren’t about saving the environment; it mostly has something to do with power grids needing to operate at a certain range at all times and spikes in demand fucks with that. That is to say, if they increase the energy produced, they actually have other problems at times of reduced demand, like at night or winter time. I’m paraphrasing from a pretty brief thing I heard over the radio, though, so I’m sure it’s more complicated.

They still cut corners and cause wild fires because they don’t update their tech and prefer to have things fail, though. Plenty of reasons to hate your private utility companies, lol

I have a feeling the bill hits Tesla or something. Maybe not directly, but with all the anti-environment shit in it that probably includes his shitty EVs.

Mike Lee is a notoriously despicable person even by GOP standards and the bill doesn’t have any legs. Like, just a week ago he said terrible things about the Minnasotan politicians who were shot dead in their homes, and he’s also the one who was pushing to sell off public lands (which he was bullied out of; also seems to be in the pocket of the Mormon cult).

The US stance on NATO is complicated under the current US regime but I doubt it’ll be by this assholes bill.

You know, as a spoiler I get the sense he’ll just make things that much worse for Adams. Friends in NYC I talked to said the only thing they didn’t particularly like about Zohran was potential Defund the Police stuff. Yet, Adams and Cuomo are both pro-police centrists, so that vote gets split (aka deplorable vote).

You know, it’s like how everyone saw RFK Jr. as a dem spoiler until polls showed he was taking more from Trump (hence him taking a bribe to drop out).

Statistically, no. Not even at the time of your writing; it’s ranked choice and he cross promoted #3 guy who had 10ish %. Man it’s so lopsided Cuomo threw in the towel.

I guess the real nightmare is whatever happens in the general, but even if Cuomo runs it’s likely only going to hurt Adams.

That said, “don’t give me hope…” applies to changes in the DNC nationally, lol.

People shit on the franchise because they did kind of rush production, but honestly they hold up if it’s what you’re into. It’s just kind of sad they can’t all be AC2 quality, that was probably the best of the lot in terms of storytelling, intriguing exploration, etc. I still remember climbing into that girl’s place in the opening as Ezio.

Oddly, 4 does have a few cities in addition to the nautical stuff. They aren’t big name cities, but Havana, Kingston and Nassau of that period. Kind of interesting, especially right when Pirates of the Caribbean was popular.

You said statistically, and Latino men in that country weren’t in the majority for Trump. But like I said, if you’re really going full statistics, non-voters tend to be the biggest group (just, we don’t exactly have exit polls for them, lol)

I wouldn’t assume that given his county, so try not to make it a leopard eating face / victim blaming story without evidence.

Plus if you’re really thinking statistics, he’s likely a non-voter and in CA one could hardly blame him if that was the case (our general election votes literally do not matter).

I like this analogy and generally avoid using GPS (admittedly it’s out of laziness lol). The most insane part to me is I live where everything is on a grid and somehow people are still impressed I can figure out how to get places, even without having been there. GPS brain is real.

Heard the recording, guy sounds so Chicano it’s so obvious he’s from here. Local NPR station covered it a bit, people know they’re going to get racially profiled and keep their passports on hand, but even that’s not a guarantee.

Sadly it’s not even the first time this has happened. It’s everytime there’s an increased effort by ICE. I think they put it well when they said it’s akin to Stop and Frisk laws in NY that caused a lot of racial profiling.

That was my thought, having followed the social media coverage of recent unrest in Iran over hair covering and so on. Iran does need regime change, but Israel is definitely not the right people to do it. No idea the solution, but I hope people can find a way to stay safe.

Bad news except you can’t trust TV either. Or reading the news, lately. At least regardless of the medium, general advice carries-- double check sources, learn which are credible, etc.

I just hope people are following links and not just reading headlines, right? …Right?

You know what’s fucked? How much we really do need a public utility option for cell phones (and Internet). But this ain’t it, fam. Oof
