The irony of the background saying Restore Sanity

They are problems for them… even if they want to pretend those problems are hoaxes.

It seems to mostly be replacing work that is both repetitive and pointless. I have it writing my contract letters, ‘executive white papers’, and proposals.

The contract letters I can use without edit. The white papers I need to usually redirect it, but the second or third output is good. The proposals it functionally does the job I’d have a co-op do… put stuff on paper so I can realize why it isn’t right, and then write to that. (For the ‘fluffy’ parts of engineering proposals, like the cover letters, I can also use it.)

Obviously Aliens keep coming to earth to try and figure out how they can grow knees.

I love my Tesla… but it isn’t clear to new drivers where they can and can’t charge, without some research. I can easily see someone assuming it works like a gas station and that they are all interchangeable.

Why was Trump being interviewed by one of the Supermen from the Flash TV show crossover?

I see this the same as a company asking for a SSN. I didn’t pick it, it is really hard to change without physical/mental pain, and is spoofable anyway.

Based on those criteria… I’m not sure why I care about sharing it. I wouldn’t solely use it for something I’m securing myself, but if some company wants too, I don’t really take issue.

Problem is that kids start out dumb until the learn stuff.

I talk to some of my aunts and uncles from pre-internet and I’m not sure how they survived the stupid stuff they did.

I agree with you; but the parent comment is accurately drawing a parallel. Both China and Canada have issues and both are worried about a strait which objectively isn’t ‘theirs’.

The difference is

  1. China has bigger problems, but the strait is at least close; although China is being a bully
  2. Canada has lesser problems, and the strait is on the other side of the planet; but they seem to at least be defending the public good.

Point being, tying this to China’s flooding is silly. If Chinas actions are dumb, it is for unrelated reasons.

Yeah. I often type out a comment. The. Realize I really don’t want to be bother by this person’s adhoc reply… then just delete it.

Rosa memes are actually unique much of the time. And they call back to memorable scenes… so win win.

I looked at this awhile ago. There is a google doc maintained by some anti-Tesla investors who track every fire that can find. It is still much lower than the US average fires per car.

I think it gets more attention because:

  1. some people are financially incentivized and;
  2. battery fires really are a much worse deal than a normal car fire

The advice I’ve been given (on train/bus batteries) is to shove the vehicle if safe when it starts; then do whatever possible to fully submerge in fresh water. Obviously that isn’t really feasible.
