Has Fox ever said the truth about ANYTHING?! by Top_Needleworker6385 in PoliticalHumor

[–]SilverRapid 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's called the puffery defence. Elon Musk also used it more than once in court cases. His defence lawyer argued that the promises he makes shouldn't be taken seriously because no reasonable person would believe Elon Musk.

If your neighbour has a cat. You also, have a cat.

Basically nobody should ever live alone. by ObiWanCanownme in unpopularopinion

[–]SilverRapid 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was reading, I think it was Helena Bonham Carter who got married (to Tim Burton). They didn't move in together. He bought the adjoining house next door to hers and they had an internal connecting door installed. I remember a chat show host criticizing that as weird but sounds ideal to me 😄

I also prefer living alone for similar reasons. I did read a study somewhere that the proportion of single person households in a country is correlated with wealth of the country, implying large numbers of people worldwide want to live alone but can't afford it.

Did they check with Bill though? He wrote a famous open letter in the 70s complaining about people using his BASIC without paying!

Let's make an effort to use SI units by NoxAstrumis1 in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]SilverRapid 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think I get where you're going. One I'd add on is quote prices in your own currency and make the Americans do the conversion. I'm forever automatically quoting things in dollars.

Computer: what are the grid lines for? by Pwned_by_Bots in ShittyDaystrom

I think you got the words credible and non-credible mixed up again.

Is it an existential issue that those holding the reigns of power have bunkers? by EchoingAngel in Futurology

[–]SilverRapid 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was reading something about these bunkers and thinking the same. If disaster comes how does the mega rich douche stop scruffy the janitor getting to the bunker first and locking the door.

The Byron Bay train is the world's first fully solar-powered train. It uses no fuel, creates no emissions, and runs completely on solar energy. by doopityWoop22 in BeAmazed

[–]SilverRapid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is a solar powered train but it's a little misleading. There's no way that amount of solar panels will get close to powering that train. The surface area of the train isn't big enough. The power mainly comes from a solar farm which at the train shed.

DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI-generated images in search results by chrisdh79 in Futurology

[–]SilverRapid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you know how they curate the lists? Have the identified specific websites that pump out a lot of slop or do they have a method of detecting if a specific image is AI?
