I use “fucking terts” when I’m angry at a specific person (“terts” is a derogatory term for earth humans (from Alien Nation), and “furless human” when I’m in a slightly amused mood (it’s what my cat used to curse me).

My cat, purring.

It also doesn’t help that one party has a history of twisting or actively redefining the meaning of words, to create loopholes out of the most plain language possible.

The point is that he’s got too much exposure in Xitter, plus everyone’s tanking Tesla, so he’s moving stuff around to try to hang on to everything he can.

The biggest problem with AI is that they’re illegally harvesting everything they can possibly get their hands on to feed it, they’re forcing it into places where people have explicitly said they don’t want it, and they’re sucking up massive amounts of energy AMD water to create it, undoing everyone else’s progress in reducing energy use, and raising prices for everyone else at the same time.

Oh, and it also hallucinates.

What’s the stethoscope theory?

How do you handle banking? So many places no longer allow Americans to have bank accounts because of the reporting requirements, or did that change when I wasn’t looking?

“It primarily affects logged-out users in the U.S.,” he said. “This one was particularly interesting because there really was a swing down, but then a recovery shortly thereafter happened right at the end of the quarter.”

Show me the graph, spez. Pics or it didn’t happen!

If you’re in the Philly area with our weird basements that don’t fit standard washers, we all get Speed Queen washers. Good luck with your GE, though!

Surely there’s a mechanics advice community here somewhere? They could at least get you started on troubleshooting.

It’s not just the morale of the protestors, it’s the morale and courage of everyone. Lawmakers, judges, career civil servants, scientists, educators - they’re being attacked by the government and they feel helpless and alone. When you feel like there’s no one out there on your side, it’s easy to go along, to give up. To stop fighting back, to keep evil in check even if you can only do a small bit here and there.

By going out and being visible, we’re telling judges and lawyers and lawmakers to keep fighting, to push back against fascism. By giving people in power courage to continue to stand up and fight back, we’re preserving some amount of political power for ourselves, slowing down the fascist speed-run, giving time, energy and momentum both to people who want to resist and those who need to hide. We’re making it less easy and less convenient for the administration, and making it more obvious that they’re lying when they claim to have a mandate.

I’d love to live a quiet life, but if the price of that is giving up on equality and freedom, letting people I love and respect be trampled - how could I respect myself? Where is my honor and integrity? I don’t know where or how this ends, but if I come out the other side, I’d prefer to be able to live with myself.

My problem with Tesla is that so many things seem half-unthinking, half-finished or half-assed:

Unthinking: I know! I’ll put a ledge in from of the headlights, so snow can pile up while I’m driving!

Unfinished: all the seam mismatches and eternally unfinished-but-really-close! full self-driving (it ain’t gonna happen).

Half-assed: that recall they had to do because sometimes the latch doesn’t catch properly and the hood flies open when you’re driving and blocks your view. Tesla’s solution isn’t to fix or replace the hood latch so this doesn’t happen; they push a software up that monitors the hood latch and pops up a warning, telling you to pull over and check the hood latch. Because apparently fixing the issue that their poor design (see #1) and bad implementation (see #2) doesn’t warrant an actual fix, they’re just going to fob the risk , the cost and the work off to the customer.

Croutons! I start up a crouton factory!

Didn’t something almost identical get asked a few days ago?

Oh good, this is going to be an excuse for every other business to start doing this shit …

It means that’s a serious answer, and a serious recommendation. And I agree that you should read that book.

It takes a lot of time to design a new, official US coin. I’m sure this is a “commemorative” “coin”, worth about the metal it’s printed on, being sold for excessive amounts to rubes. The only thing I’m uncertain about is whether the money goes to the shithead in the White House or some random grifter trying to cash in.

Oh lord yes!
