I’ll keep it simple.

Used AI to help me diagnose how to repair my 15 year old refrigerator. It led to the conclusion that I just needed to replace the water inlet valve.

It identified the lowest cost part available and showed me a video on how to replace it.

Arrogant fricks continue thinking they can micromanage complex systems, no matter how many times they’re proven wrong.

We did pretty good with agriculture.

Even some livestock have been successfully modified. Most livestock live off of genetically modified feed products.

We also did pretty good with turning the grey wolf into 360 different breeds of dog. Though not gene edited, we did frick with the natural order so that people can have fur babies. And try convincing those people that their lives are not better as a result of humans fricking with nature.

Edited:
Just read that Google’s plan is to suppress, not eradicate the mosquito population. The process involves a natural bacteria that some mosquitoes already acquire through natural processes.

Our tampering is more similar to messing with the gray wolf’s natural preferences.

When this gas mower dies I’m buying an electric one. My yard takes maybe 20-30 minutes to mow and they’re much quieter.

Ditto.

I’ve had yard guys doing my yard while I was working out of state. Now that I’m back I just replaced the carburetor and sold it.

The plan is to resume mowing my own yard but with an electric mower because it will also require less maintenance.

I’ll also have no more gas fumes in my garage outside of hurricane season (portable gas generator).

Hooters, for a lot of reasons. The current man hating political environment demonizing anything that can be deemed as "sexualizing" women.
No need to go to sports bars with every game being televised.
Those "sexy outfits" are quaint in this day and age (wearing hose with shorts? )
Most young guys are Low T and don't have disposable income.
Food sucks.


And it’s called Hooters. Not Pancakes. Some hiring managers appear to be more interested in helping these ladies trying to pay for law school and don’t seem to understand branding.

I have gotten my arse kicked more than once, but I have never gotten my arse kicked by a man dressed as Sailor Moon...

I think she is fire.

Is that still a thing? Do people still say that?

Everyone loves a good comeback story.

But this one is just lipstick on a pig.

She’s not even a shell of her former self. Now she’s just some libbed up polar opposite of a tremendously talented high potential young lady who checked all the checkboxes.

Also, I’ve never voted for a Democrat in my lifetime or a socialist and that includes the ‘Republican’ ones. While I totally disagree with socialism as a solution to these problems, I think you should try to understand why people voted that way.

Unfortunately the people who vote that way just accept media talking points with questioning any relevant details.

For example, modern homes have anout 50% more floor space
* Twice as many bathrooms in many cases
* Much better insulation and lower energy use
* Far stricter building, electrical, and fire safety codes
* Better accessibility and storage
* Internet wiring, smart-home capability, and more electrical capacity

Restrictive zoning (driven by liberal policies) has also driven up home values particularly on the west coast. More of that is not the solution to the described problem.

The more I watch these shows the more I pull against these characters.

Jim was my guy. Pulled for him. Dwight was the villain. He consistently sought to suck the joy out of life.

Jim brought joy. Joy was Dwight’s kryptonite.

Pam? Jim stole some a-hole’s girlfriend, banged the office secretary, and married the one woman in that office who stood out as marriage material.

I pulled for Jim. Pam was just his trophy.

Lucy on the other hand was just a royal count.

Most of the things in life we took for granted are now unaffordable for normal people.

List a few big ones that you think are valid.
The Blues Brothers.

Any classic western. But if it’s Tombstone, I end up finding new cringeworthy cliches and theater kid absurdities. It really needed to be a much grittier western.

I don't think many of you actually realize just how much people who weren't born in the US have moved into New York City and the surrounding areas. The overwhelming majority of people who have moved in are from India, Pakistan, China, Syria, Iraq, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Ecuador, Bangladesh, Brazil, along with a host of other countries but these are the big migration countries.

Foreign born residents now make up over 38% of all residents in NYC. New York City has the largest absolute foreign-born population of any U.S. city. Almost 50% of workers in NYC are foreign born today.

I just came across data showing the historic peak was in 1910 when 41% were foreign born.

It was 36% in 2000 and started hitting 37% in 2010.

Something else must have represented the tipping point.

I'd like to know what his special needs are. In today's school systems, I suspect the definition of special needs is VERY wide open.

If I was that age and saw a special needs teacher that looked like that, I guarantee I would have faked my way into her class.
Is warranty even a valid variable for comparison anymore?

This goes under the topic titled “Gayest line ever said in a movie”

In contention is Top Gun’s, “You can be my wingman anytime”

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the same actor delivered both homoerotic lines.
Zero.

All 3 of my sons had zero toys in church to teach them church was not a play area.

Other parishioners often complemented us on our well behaved kids.

That reminds me I need to go get one of those things.

Why?

I’m not sure when or why I would ever use it?

Burgers? Nope, open flame.
Steaks? Same.
Chicken? Same - but more distance from flame.
Pork? Same - but more distance from flame.

I honestly do not know why I would need to cook anything else outside.
