In America, you can’t open a bank account without an address. That means that the homeless population can’t open a bank account (not easily, anyway), and therefore can’t get a debit card.

Cashless is a nice idea, but it is extremely prohibitive against the most vulnerable people (which, sadly, might be part of the point).

If all discernable heat is unobservable and unobtainable, then semantics don’t matter. Everything still dies. I’d include “heat” in that mix, but that’s waxing philosophical

Until the day that even heat dies.

He said $30,000 for the cybertruck too. $30,000 just seems to be his “I don’t really know the price” price.

Must be one of those bot accounts that Elon Musk will remove.

First of all, you make a great point.

Second of all, that quote made me laugh out loud. “In 15 words”? Why is that even there? I saw Sam sitting there with Word open, cursor blinking at the end of his sentence about how deep learning worked, wondering how to make it more impactful. So he copies the sentence and pastes it into a chatgpt box and asks, “how can I make this hit differently?” and chatgpt, in all it’s gptness, responds: “try counting the number of words in the sentence and throwing that in front.”

Assembly is ancient Egyptian heiroglyphs.

They really missed calling this Cokies ‘n’ Cream

At least he didn’t buy the checkmark

Not sure about the artist, but these are characters from the game Persona 5 (Haru and Futaba)

I was just trying to keep things simple, but you’re right

Here’s a quick tidbit I always have in the back of my mind:

If it’s an Italian name, it’s espresso-based and if it’s a French name, it’s coffee-based.

Italian coffee, for example:

Americano - Espresso and water
Latte - Espresso and regular milk
Cappuccino - Espresso and steamed milk
Breve - Espresso and steamed half-and-half

French coffee, for example:

Café - Plain coffee, sometimes called Café Noir
Café au Lait - Coffee and regular milk
Café Cremé - Coffee and cream (or sometimes half-and-half)
Café Americano - Coffee and water, it’s the French version of the Italian style.

What’s the difference between coffee and espresso? Coffee is brewed and steeped. Espresso is created by forcing water through very, very densely-packed coffee grounds using high pressure. Coffee is typically enjoyed in cups and espresso is typically consumed in “shots” because of the strong flavor.

What?

This is most likely to try to deflect from him saying that he had every right to interfere with the election since he’s currently facing a criminal trial for interfering with the election.

Cool. If OpenAI gets a pass, then piracy should be legal, right? I mean what good is a trademark or copyright law?

Edit: “I can’t make money without stealing other people’s work” is definitely a take

Just as we rejected slavery

Bro, you have a confederate flag hanging above your bed.
Oh, you rejected slavery because you’re the party of Lincoln? Tell me, what was the flag that Lincoln actively fought against?

Funny, since the conservative overlord Donald Trump seems to love Kim Jong Un…

“I thought we were having a smooth interview?”
“Oh no, I said DDoS! That’s what I call a smooth interview.”
“You call a smooth interview a DDoS?”
“Yes! It’s a regional dialect.”
“Uh huh, what region?”
“Uh… Bay Area?”
“Really? Well I’m from Oakland and I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase ‘DDoS’ to describe a smooth interview.”
“Oh, not in Oakland, no. It’s more of a San Francisco expression.”
“So you’re calling this a DDoS despite the obvious fact that the rest of your website was fine and not affected at all?”
“Y- Uh… you know, the… the one thing I should… oh look it’s back up!”
