And, let us be clear - she won't ask for a raise, but the company that made her will regularly jack up the license fees.

You are applying descriptions like "deep and meaningful" that are your supposition, not my statements...

Also, social media is not a place for conversations without a peanut gallery, is it?

But, it is clear it is unwelcome. Sorry. I will leave you be.

Hm. We'll, there you go then....

It could have been intended as "trumpeted"".

It could also have been "trumped up". As in "trumped up charges".

Speaking as a reader - I knew what they meant and found it pointed and funny. So...

Also, as a reader of journalism, of all the journalistic sins out there in the world right now, maybe an autocorrect ought to be way down the list of issues to be concerned with?

With respect, it seems like an acceptable poetic use given the situation.

I mean, it would be understandable to say, "making up falsentalkimg points and speaking them as if they were true to sway an electorate" could validly be called, "trumping" at this point

If that's what you are getting from this, I won't bug you with it further.

Have a great weekend!

Of course not.

But the goal is to check our thought processes, right?

If the other guy has to be both a genius and an idiot, maybe there's a faulty assumption in there, is all.

Because... they can send folks around the Moon, but wouldn't have a good reason for how they pick 'em up?

When your doubt requires them to have great competence, and also be fools, maybe question the doubt?

If they call it, "Mythos", and they think it dangerous, that's probably because a horror from the Lovecraftian Mythos is now inhabiting it...

Last I checked, Earth was very, very close. Close enough you can almost taste it.

(Author is not responsible for results of people licking the Earth to taste it.)

Heck, even those of us born just a bit before '72 may have been too young to have memory of those flights!

Force and speed are not independent.

If your engine didn't have to shut off, and you supplied force just equal to vehicle weight, you hover, and never go anywhere. If you supply greater than weight, you accelerate to that speed, eventually.

But we need more than that. No President can have just one purpose.

We also need someone capable of keeping the machine of government working during that cleanup. We also need someone capable of starting to rebuild what was lost. And all that against remaining resistance.

It will be a tall order.

We are each free to make our own distinctions.

It was his walking back the apology, effectively denying it was ever an issue, that seemed the real problem.

Trying this again...

I like Weir's work, but on the face of it, this statement seems poorly considered.

Like, dude, why do you think the Romulans and the Federation are shooting at each other? Hint: it ain't over the relative artistic value of Nickleback.

Allowed to disagree, sure.
But if you can't work through that disagreement, your efforts will not combine well, and your opponent may win due to your lack of teamwork.

I want to live in a world in which believers DO know enough about their own religion to make basic theological arguments. Because then they at least understand their beliefs.

If you can't do that, you are a follower, and followers are easy to mislead.

I believe the term "warning shot" applies here.

Firing warning shots is good, compared to just blowing up Notre Dame as a demonstration.

You don't need it.
I don't need it.

But it might get someone who uses and trusts Claude's output to stop and think a moment.

And the comedic irony might boost some engagement.

Broadly, "we" need diverse forms of messaging, to reach and energize many kinds of people.

Um, you may have missed the point.

The point is that *even the AI* tells us that we have good reason to be worried about AI.

He had it covered.

And then, a few days ago, reversed his prior apology for having it.

No. We act as if, once made aware of a problem, someone hoping to be elected to an important office would admit their error, apologize, and work to amend the situation.

If ignorant, his response should have been, "It's a what?!? Get it off me, now!"

Iron-Man, Iron-Man
Does whatever an iron can!
Cooks grilled cheese, squishes ants,
Puts a crease in your pants!
Look out it's Iron-Man!

Of, of course it doesn't stop your art! Everyone can draw spiders, man!

I hate singing the, "Segmentation violation, core dumped" Blues.

Or maybe it *was* the arrival of a new Steelers QB.

The guy's name is Kent. First name Clark...

If so...
You know, indoor plumbing is also a modern invention. Maybe he should do without that, too.

Yes, but the current threat to shipping isn't from missiles.
