   You'd think that concept would be more popular here, but I guess the desire to consume overrides everything. I think that engineering like Lego is gorgeous in and of itself. Like a Swiss watch at scale.

   What does ethics mean here? That the robot hallucinates? So do all the others.

   Don't state an opinion as fact. There's many examples of the state letting people off, then the family taking matters into their own hands, with public approval. Retribution is important for those who hurt others.

   There's a chunk of the population that should be warehoused for the safety of the vast majority. Consider the 327 people that commit 1/3rd of NYC theft ( https://nypost.com/2023/01/05/327-crooks-made-

   They have an obsession with anal which is ... a lot. I get that they're pivoting, but the "anal and abortion" magazine probably shouldn't be targeting the underage.

    Good. SF is able to paper over it's structural problems with money. That's a waste of time and money. Fix the core issues - money can't.

    To look out the window. I realize it's the definition of a first world problem, but the gap is weird. They can't put shelves or something because the window is obviously there

    That's why I only use OnlyFans these days. The industry that produces free porn for pornhub etc is incredibly abusive. Disintermediation here removes a lot of scumbags

    No, this is a common complaint. The size is too big to lean on and too small to do anything useful with. I've flown First on AF and it's no better up there.

    Hot take: Those TikTok meme slideshows or compilations of images with music over them? Where the music isn't synced to anything? Silent movies.

    I'd consider any group of people that cite sources and report stories to be journalists. It's a useful heuristic because in this case, it excludes Ars. Those go into the less prestigious category, "journoids"

    What does the Leaf have that the Bolt doesn't? The Bolt uses a standard charge port, is larger, has superior range, and has active battery thermal mgmt.

    The Permian basin uses technology that is almost all made in America and is now the largest oil producer on Earth. The industrial base in TX is absolutely incredible and rarely discussed. Likely a big reason SpaceX moved there.

    What I don't get about all of this is that the hard, expensive part of nuclear power is building + certifying the plants. Once they're up and running, they produce essentially free, zero-carbon electricity, safely and reliably. So
