    Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah about an Epstein joke I thought Trump had the greatest sense of humour of any President?

    Mark makes a very valid point about how AI doesn't do everything for you. GIGO. You have to know something about the subject matter and the technology involved, what questions to ask, parameters to provide to get a decent product.

    @89th said in Cincinnati chili has snowflakes too.: Also, that dude in the video is probably someone who would start talking about the merits of the tour de france while I'm trying to watch a ballgame. You say that like it's a bad thing.

    Just found out that the backup “guest teacher astronaut” to McCauliff and watched from the ground as her colleague ended up perishing in the Challenger, later was selected to be an astronaut on Columbia for a 2004 launch and in 2003 was in the chase jet meant to rendezvous with Colombia as it landed, of course it never landed. That is wild. Eventually, she went up in the Endeavor shuttle… i’d have to imagine her crew mates were not believers in bad luck.

    Except he predicted a crash in 07-09 and then lost money when it happened. It doesn’t pay to have really precise theories about just how things will go wrong. Or at least to bet on them.

    @jodi said in Trauma at Big Bear Lake: One of the things they are saying is that the birds may have known the eggs were unviable, and that’s why they left them alone. Not sure is that is accurate, but it’s possible. She's back on the remaining egg now, but who knows?

    I’m hoping they overreach and try to take over some of the properties that are off the market due to their idiotic policies. Then maybe scotus can find rent control itself to be a taking under the fifth amendment.

    Large projects are a lot easier when you have slave labor. Still, it's good to see the Saudis planning for economic viability post-petroleum. Unless there's a huge expansion in the need for sand it's their only natural resource.

    I blame the lesbians. God fucking hates ‘em. You’d think he’d have more important stuff to think about, but no. It’s lesbians all day long. That’s why he watches all those movies presumably.

    She'll probably win. The left doesn't like her as much as you'd think since she's a bit wishy-washy-Washington. I do remember seeing her on a flight once, and she didn't seem that wishy washy. Anyway... as long as the pillow cocaine con man doesn't get close to that office, I'm fine.

    Hard to beat 1983. Heck, Kelly took his team to FOUR straight superbowls. Don't ask him how many they won.

    Well this makes sense. He doesn’t want to lower prices, he wants them nice and high. Good policy choice then. https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/2016994260327842125?s=46
