    @Mik Interesting article. It will be interesting to have you drive another model of EV. I have hear that a Tesla is like a computer with a car attached. Other EV's (like Polestar, etc), are more like a car with a computer attached.

    Lots more high-resolution graphics for just about everything you see on Word's GUI. Dictionaries, thesauri, grammar files for multiple languages. Every word and sentence you see on Word's user interface in multiple languages. Code from older versions of Microsoft Words retained to maintain backward compatibility. Expect even bigger applications as Microsoft (and many other software shops) try to ship AI models with everything.

    @jon-nyc said in Rufo v Yarvin: That’s good. I won’t ruin it. I think I'm going to stick with watching music gear, formula 1 and chess streams and try to avoid all these chaps. Probably better for my mental health, which needs all the help it can get...

    Not sure what the appropriate response is. For me, it's a combination of trying not to pay attention to stuff I can't change while also not allowing myself to become numb to these types of antics and lies. I do look forward hopefully to a slow healing process and shift back to some form of humility, respect, and honesty come 2028 and beyond... hopefully someone who can help stop the car running off the national debt cliff in a decade or so.

    Pakman has 3.3m youtube subscribers, ben has 6.6m. Not sure who is a more mainstream internet pundit for Democrats than Pakman. According to ChatGPT, Pod Save America is the most popular mainstream Democrat pundit show online, but Pakman makes the list.

    Even the title 107 days is very whiny. I'm guessing it's that she only had 107 days to try and build a campaign. Pfft... you lost for many reasons. Yes I'm talking to you, Kamala...I know you're on TNCR. You said you wanted to do things if you won, but you already had 4 years to do it. Your laugh is annoying as shit. You don't really have a track record of anything other than losing in primaries. Also, that laugh. Plus...next to Trump, as dishonest and gross as he is, you do not look like a leader of a country, you look weak. I've said it before, I love Trump's "alpha dog" leadership style.

    Maybe Sept 16, 2025 was not so special after all. Saturday, September 27, 2025, is a very special day–mathematically speaking. That’s because the date’s numerals combine to form a rare numerical trick that even the most ardent math hater will appreciate. If you write out September 27, 2025 as 09/27/2025 and eliminate the forward slashes, you get 9,272,025. The notable thing about that number is that it’s the square of 3,045. In other words, 3,045 times 3,045 is 9,272,025, as Fresno State University math instructor Howie Hua explains in a social media video, describing it as the “coolest mathematical date of our lifetime.” But wait, there’s more! As you probably know, people in some countries write their dates out with the day before the month. In that case, 27 September, 2025 would be 27/09/2025. If we run the same trick as before, 27/09/2025 turns into 27,092,025. Lo and behold, that is the square of 5,205—5205 times 5205 is 27,092,025. According to Timeanddate, this means September 27, 2025 isn’t just a square date, it’s a global square date, which occurs only eight times this century. https://www.popsci.com/science/september-27-math-date/

    It is indeed. We've often discussed which party is going to be the adult in the room. They clearly have not exerted enough brainpower to see they are simply behaving like a mirror image of what they abhor. I have no problem with Kimmel getting his show canceled for business reasons, which would have been valid given current ratings at the time, but not because they were strongarmed by the administration. Although that's exactly what was done to Trump, et al, we just don't need a race to the bottom.
