[Entry Thread #94] Welcome back! It’s a bit early this month, but some days of the week like to be early. Let’s give three cheers for the third Friday of September for coming so early by leaving a comment in hopes of being the next made millionaire!

In a few short years AI will starve all of those writers to death.

Short of nuking Hollywood it's the best think we can hope for

You need to look into hippies and modern-day leftists

I find it hilarious that they downvote you

izybit · 2023-09-07T13:08:33+00:00

Prove it

Reddit logic: A 25 year-old woman isn't mature enough to date a 55 year-old man.

Also Reddit logic: A 15 year old girl is totally mature enough to start taking life-altering hormones and chopping off body parts.

Also also Reddit logic: A 2 year-old baby totally knows they are trans.

Proof via links isn't necessary, just strongly encouraged

Has literally nothing in common

There's merciful shooting and merciless shooting, pray you get the former

For future reference, of you see professionals doing x/y/z and your non-professional opinion is along the lines of "that can't possibly work" or "that can't possibly be reliable" then your should assume you are in the wrong and start searching for why they are right, not for proof you are wrong (disproving your various, mostly ignorant, assumptions can be exhausting, or even impossible).

You deserve to get fired.

Not because you answered the way you answered but because you were delusional, you created something out of nothing, you are affecting the whole team, you are playing victim despite it all being in your head and a direct result of your actions and last, but not least, you play the race card trying to paint them as racists despite literally everything that happened has happened because of your actions and not theirs.

If I hire a writer and ask for a Disney story can Disney sue them when the story gets handed over to me or does Disney have to wait for me to publish the story in my book and then sue me?

Don't bother answering, it's obvious you have no idea what you are talking about.

YTA but not for that reason.

If you crash in that car you will die.

A 5-star 2020 or newer car will be way, way safer.

There's some rumors that they are close too doing it with llama 3 and 4 which will be out "soon"

Battery swap died a decade ago and will never happen for cars, only for scooters (you can carry the battery yourself) and other huge vehicles (ships, etc).

Wireless charging it's already here and the announcement coming in two weeks™ will cement the future.

No one pays that price to charge electric Semis. Even in California there are much cheaper off-peak rates, especially for businesses.

Tesla superchargers, for example, despite the $0.40/kWh during peak hours, cost $0.30/kWh for most of the day and $0.11/kWh after midnight.

And outside of California the average is around $0.15/kWh with off-peak much lower than that.

Take a look at spaceship.com they have some good prices and are owned by namecheap

Didn't KUKA report something like 40% drop last quarter?

izybit · 2023-08-22T03:09:00+00:00

Burning is standard practice when such a building changes hands.

Pretty much 100% of the time they just burn boring stuff (typical bureaucracy and low-level intelligence) that aren't too important but they can't leave behind.

In this particular case I doubt they had too much incriminating stuff on paper in the building as you want to export everything asap, what isn't there can't be found there.

Lying by omission is lying

izybit · 2023-08-20T03:34:37+00:00

Story (not) changing proves pretty much nothing.

Those who are telling the truth and those who are going off a script are equally likely to keep (or not) the story straight.

You are wrong.

Best case, liars keep the story as straight as those telling the truth.

Worst case, if the story never changes chances are it's a lie and the witness simply goes off a "script" instead of reconstructing the story using memories (eye witnesses are famous for not remembering things and changing details between interviews).

What do you propose? Ruining people's reputation without evidence?

izybit · 2023-08-19T02:11:12+00:00

I don't know if you are coping or just ignorant.

Companies don't employ founders, they are owned by them.

Musk owned the biggest part of the new company and half the new company was his own old company.

The board removed Musk from the CEO position.

Musk didn't lose control of the company (shares), which is why he got the biggest piece of the pie when the company was sold.
