Now I do so it got some free advertising.

Why? This is giving it more attention than it deserves.

Being alive is bad for the environment.

I've never heard of "Grok".

I've put an air filter in the bedroom next to the bed. Makes nice white noise too. I also have one next to the cat's litter box. I'm thinking of putting one in the bathroom because the toilet paper makes an insane amount of lint that builds up everywhere.

Lawns aren't the problem, it is agriculture. Now the problem is affordable food vs the environment.

Slaves? Oh FFS. Have you talked to the bees lately? Maybe they like having nice manmade hives.

I've had good results being very specific, like "Generate some python 3 code for me that converts X to Y, recursively through all subdirectories, and converts the files in place."

And let it suck up 10% or so of all of the power in the region.

I use it for very specific tasks and give as much information as possible. I usually have to give it more feedback to get to the desired goal. For instance I will ask it how to resolve an error message. I've even asked it for some short python code. I almost always get good feedback when doing that. Asking it about basic facts works too like science questions.

One thing I have had problems with is if the error is sort of an oddball it will give me suggestions that don't work with my OS/app version even though I gave it that info. Then I give it feedback and eventually it will loop back to its original suggestions, so it couldn't come up with an answer.

I've also found differences in chatgpt vs MS copilot with chatgpt usually being better results.

The conditions for that to happen are quite rare. Not worth worrying about.

My wife does. I have a thing for using a kettle on the oven.

Too much clutter on my counters already. I can just leave the kettle on the oven.

Slapping on tariffs at a time with inflation, high consumer anxiety, and wage stagnation is going to be looked on as one of the worst moves a president has made.

I remember during the big housing bubble in the early 2000s people were telling me "Oh you better buy now" even though down payments were insanely high and I kept thinking "The cost of housing is totally out of whack with incomes. There is no way this can keep going up." Surprise, surprise the whole thing blew up and lots of people were then left with mortgages that cost more than their homes so they were stuck. On top of that the prices were still out of whack with incomes and I still couldn't afford a house unless it was a wreck. I eventually just moved out of the state.

I was just reading how the normal "escape cities", like Miami, for people fleeing high cost areas like San Francisco and Boston/NYC are now almost as expensive. Guess people will have to go to St Louis and Des Moines.

You need three prongs, infrastructure, training and enforcement. No one wants to spend the large amount of $ it would take to redesign thousands of miles of roads in each city. There is also the issue of how ridiculously low the bar is set for getting a license and how basic safety inspections are. In my state I can count on one hand how many times I've seen highway patrols enforcing traffic laws.

That is a pretty high number of shootings then. Practically everyone drives so that is a lot of miles/person. You have to drive, you don't have to be shot, that is why it draws media attention.

Other Christians don't care for them. From their google reviews:

This church is nothing more than a cult disguised as Christianity. They don’t preach the gospel—they preach fear, control, and manipulation. Instead of leading people to Christ, they demand blind loyalty to their leadership, excommunicate anyone who questions them, and tear down other churches rather than spreading love and grace.

Their toxic, legalistic teachings distort salvation, pushing a works-based doctrine that contradicts Ephesians 2:8-9. They divide families, encouraging members to cut off anyone who doesn’t conform. Instead of strengthening faith, they use spiritual abuse to control people. If you’re looking for a real church that follows Jesus, stay far away from this place.
