Wasn’t it in theaters last summer too?

Or, y’know, he could hire 50% more programmers / contractors, instead of overworking his current staff

So, question: the vaccine is 97% effective against measles, meaning there’s still a 3% chance i might get it under various circumstances *. Assuming I’ve been vaccinated and still got measles despite having a normal, functioning immune system: I recognize I’d likely have a milder case of measles, but would it still wipe out my immune system’s memory?

* I know it’s not actually 3% and there’s a host of factors, but none of that’s really relevant to the question, so please ignore it.

My problem with Tesla is that so many things seem half-unthinking, half-finished or half-assed:

Unthinking: I know! I’ll put a ledge in from of the headlights, so snow can pile up while I’m driving!

Unfinished: all the seam mismatches and eternally unfinished-but-really-close! full self-driving (it ain’t gonna happen).

Half-assed: that recall they had to do because sometimes the latch doesn’t catch properly and the hood flies open when you’re driving and blocks your view. Tesla’s solution isn’t to fix or replace the hood latch so this doesn’t happen; they push a software up that monitors the hood latch and pops up a warning, telling you to pull over and check the hood latch. Because apparently fixing the issue that their poor design (see #1) and bad implementation (see #2) doesn’t warrant an actual fix, they’re just going to fob the risk , the cost and the work off to the customer.

Oh good, this is going to be an excuse for every other business to start doing this shit …

You can see the original photo: open here, then search for horseshoe.

I was trying to solve a betweenle a couple weeks ago, had it down to the words immediately before and after the word-for-the-day, and couldn’t think of it. I went to three different AI engines and asked them what word was between those two, alphabetically. All three engines repeatedly gave me “answers” that did not occur between the two words. Like, I’d ask "what 5-letter English words are alphabetically between amber and amble, and they’d suggest aisle or armor. None of them understood ‘alphabetically’.

It’s interesting that his thought process is, “It’s not cheating, everyone does it which means this is fine!”

I mean, the thought process he’s admitting to here is interesting in light of Trump thanking Musk for “He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.”

Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg will be sitting together at Trump’s inauguration. This also is a comment that I felt like making for no particular reason.

Virtue signalling means that you want to appear like you’re better than you actually are, at least in public.

So it means that Zuck thinks people who leave Meta are actually scum, they just want to look nice to others.

My issue is the disparity of the pictures, with the bowtie picture having the duck’s entire neck almost completely in shadow, while the shadow is comparatively minimized on the necktie image. It’d be nice to see both options under both light and dark conditions.

That said, I currently prefer the necktie; it provides an element to the rest of the body. I’m the bowtie picture, everything is happening around the head - beak, eyes, hat, bowtie - leaving the rest of the body comparatively empty.

If you’re at a table with nine Nazis and you don’t leave, then the table has ten Nazis at it. History won’t care why you were at the table, just that you were there.

Nah, with Trump in office, he’ll be delighted to hire in H1B slave labor …

I didn’t find the peanut rubber, but did find that

Dr. George Washington Carver’s work resulted in the creation of more than 300 products from peanuts, contributing greatly to the economic improvement of the rural South. source

OP’s article states that

He helped Henry Ford make peanut rubber for cannons for World War II.

But I can’t find a actual source for that just endless repeated comments to that effect. I wonder if whoever-originated-that-idea conflated Carver’s peanut work with his other work with Ford:

By the time World War II began, Ford had made repeated journeys to Tuskegee to convince Carver to come to Dearborn and help him develop a synthetic rubber to help compensate for wartime rubber shortages. Carver arrived on July 19, 1942, and set up a laboratory in an old water works building in Dearborn. He and Ford experimented with different crops, including sweet potatoes and dandelions, eventually devising a way to make the rubber substitute from goldenrod, a plant weed. Carver died in January 1943, Ford in April 1947, but the relationship between their two institutions continued to flourish. Source

Pardons require a sympathetic governor, which will never happen.

Jury nullification requires that everyone on the jury votes not-guilty, which is a pretty high bar to hit.

A hung jury, on the other hand, simply requires one or more members of the jury to vote not-guilty. He could still be re-tried, of course, but having just one principled person is a lot easier than having all 12.

It has correctly identified both a Stargate and a moai made of snow.

I gave it two pictures of my cat and it said that she looked annoyed in one picture and contemplative in the other, both of which were true.

I can’t help but think he’s saying this now as an attempt to distract from the stories of "Musk has been talking to Putin since the spring when they were both faced with problems: Musk being forced to buy Xitter and Putin unable to steal Ukraine. Odd how Musk has been becoming more rabidly pro-Russian-interests, isn’t it?
