It took this AI going full Nazi to make her go, but she obviously tolerated all the shit that happened since Musk took over.

Took her quite long to come to the conclusion that X is not worth working for.

Thanks! I hadn’t noticed!

Fits perfectly. Fruit that does not grow does not need to be harvested by non-existing farm workers.

I’m surprised that Germany was not faster. But so far, Berlin is still asleep.

We just got an offer for a conglomerate worth €700, that we had put in for €350. The first offer was someone who only wanted some of it (basically all of the good parts, which is 90% of the value), and only offered €100.

So, a white bread is USD0.77?

I fondly remember regularly logging into simtel20.wsmr.army.mil back in the days (WSMR=White Sands Missile Range). No issue, just used “anonymous” as the username, and your email address as the password. And even the email address was just a convenience…

In nearly forty-ish years on the internet (yes, I was around before the web), I have not seen someone expressing an internet address in octal (before this discussion), although I remember that it is legal. Using hex, yes, but not octal.

But it does not work by definition, it is non-routable. That some systems use it as an alias is a different issue.

This is a special case. This resolves to 0.0.0.0, and technically cannot be routed. Some(!) systems use it as a kind of alias for all local network addresses, but it is not a given.

Nope. For those events, they actually bring river sand to the beach. Beach sand, like desert sand, is useless for sculpting - and for use in concrete, too. It simply is too round, while river sand is more ragged and edgy.

That’s also why those ultra-rich desert sheikdoms have to import sand for building their skyscapers, despite basically living in a big sandbox.

Like with any other ability, like painting or playing an instrument, learning a language is something that some people can do better than others.

And while starting to learn a language as a baby or toddler has it’s advantages (Our kids basically grew up bilingual), I started learning English in school when I was 11, and I still managed to learn it. Yes, native speakers will still tell me that I have an accent, but I’m good enough that they cannot place it, just that it is not native. With only 2-3 weeks a year in the UK, it is probably the closest I can get. Written English is another matter, anyway. I’ve probably read way more English books than the average native speaker…

Germany: I’m fine with the status quo. You really have to prove that you really need a gun to get it - Most Americans would simply not qualify under our rules. The Police has weapons, but they are much better trained than the American Gung-Ho, shoot first, ask questions later cops.

So, basically, it is more like “normal” Twitter posts since then?

What took her so long?

While it might have been a response initially, it was probably quickly seen as a perfect opportunity to finally set long-hedged extinction plans in motion.

It was Taco Wednesday after all.

Well, who wants to do holidays is a fascist country, with the constant fear not to see Yellowstone or Niagara Falls, but Guantanamo instead.

The only of them that we had in Germany: Toys’r’us.
