Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

It's one of the ways they socialize: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gds1qIV1oiE

But people who own parrots have been actively rewarding mimicking speech since probably the beginning. That's how you get parrots to say different things depending on what they want.

Except humans trained them to talk.

FOOD PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION SHOULD BE TREATED AS UTILITIES. You can't live without water, you can't live without food.

Rich people hunger games

I did 97 meth deals ($45 each).

That's $4365 in passive income.

I don't even have any meth and just gave them sugar crystals.

Don't make these sweeping generalizations!

Just because I don't support Israel doesn't mean there isn't something wrong with me as a person! /s

The Canadian internet cycle:

Fuck Bell, I'm switching to Rogers

Fuck Rogers, I'm switching to Telus

Fuck Telus, I'm switching to Bell

Any of the charities that go door to door, won't take a one time donation and insist on setting up monthly payments forever, and keeps trying to guilt trip you even after you refuse.

If you act like a sleazy salesperson while trying to get me to donate to a supposed good cause, I'm going to assume you have more to gain than the people you're claiming to help.

Biden didn't shut down any of the ICE concentration camps Trump opened the last time he was president.

Also Guantanamo Bay has had bipartisan support since the beginning.

They sure aren't doing anything about it either.

I think the image is only looking at where the plant originated. Weed came from the Himilayas, in Asia. If it was strictly where the stuff you're consuming were grown, then the apples in the apple pie, lemons in the lemonade, cabbage from the coleslaw, corn on the cob, and the hot dogs would all probably be considered American since that's most likely where they were grown/made.

Pretty sure hot dogs can't even legally be called proper sausages in Germany or the rest of the EU. Too much filler and preservatives.

Looks pretty similar to the Japanese SCMaglev. But does that means the track would need to be active like the Japanese one? I tried to research this in the past and all the sources say that the Japanese Maglev has the linear induction motors on the track, in addition to passive coils that the train's electromagnets interact with.

That's in addition to Maglev's intrinsic need for power delivery coils in the track (the bottom of the track basically needs to be primary side of one giant very smart transformer).

Imagine building from Beijing to Shenzhen's distance in ultra high tech tracks that can't interop with regular trains, where they'll have to safely handle a 600 km/h train passing over them in the harshest weather conditions. And you can't have very thick armor for it because you need the magnetic fields to be as close as possible to make the power delivery efficient, It's both a construction and a maintenance nightmare. The tracks themselves will offset a lot of the ecological benefits of trains over flying.

SNCF set the wheeled train record at 500 km/h with a test train. Why not try to beat that?

I live in Vancouver, Canada, in a townhouse with windows that swing out from the side like these:

See how little that window is open? That's very likely the MAXIMUM it can be open which is dumb as hell.

They also make it impossible to hang a window air conditioner which means you're limited to the significantly less efficient portable air conditioners. But even then you can't form a good seal between the exhaust pipe and the window, which make them even less efficient.

Fuck my windows. We're not allowed to change them even though we own the townhouse because the strata wants to keep all the townhouses consistent. So fuck stratas as well. And the worst part is I see these types of windows EVERYWHERE in new construction around Vancouver.

But they explicitly don't show the actual problem solving aspects. Star Trek technical problem solving is WAY too straightforward because that's required for a good show. In reality, solving simple issues can turn into a massive ordeal.

Ah yes, I was born in the month of Jay.

I'm not trying to convince you on this, but this is my personal belief:

There are runaway reactions already being triggered in the atmosphere that will make the planet hotter and hotter without stopping or slowing down for millions of years. Where are you going to live when the minimum temperature is 60C or higher? A difference of 30C or so is enough to make life impossible for us but isn't even a rounding error compared to the temperature range of a planet. Look at Mars.

Will it happen in the next few centuries or even millennia? No. But those timescales are miniscule compared to the life of the Earth or the lifecycle of an entire species.

We will be the cause of not just climate "change", but pretty much a life reset. Like the asteroid. EVERY animal larger than 10 or so cm will die. There's no way out of it. This is the great filter.

They weren't sure whether Grok will fit into the culture and agenda of the US government but the MechaHitler incident reassured them.
