Started getting into martial arts a few years ago (late in life). Stretch and train almost every day, I’m nowhere near close to being able to do a split. At some point, it definitely takes more than just practice.

I’m not saying it isn’t possible, I’ve seen guys older than me do it, but age, sex and past experience and training definitely play large factors. My wife doesn’t stretch at all, hasn’t exercised on a regular basis since she was in highschool (she was in cheer) and she could get a LOT closer to a full split than I can.

I feel like it’s far more likely the commenter was making a joke. I think the give away was when they referenced a post-human world populated by talking lions.

Considering you came here to complain about it, yea.

I don’t know. I find it to be a helpful tool. There’s definitely times it’s wrong (very very wrong sometimes) and there’s sometimes it’s right. It’s up to the user to figure that out.

Maybe I’m old and cynical, but I don’t take anything I read on the Internet, especially something automatically generated, at face value. It’s just another tool I could use to help get to the answer I’m looking for.

If you’re using AI verbatim without looking up answers and verifying results, then that’s on you.

When you Google something, do you take the first result and just assume it’s fact? You shouldn’t for AI either.

For future reference, double space at the end of a line to start a new line, double enter to skip a line.

Maybe you just need a Snickers?

Can’t figure out if this is a joke or serious, so just in case, you might want to look up what happened to the Library of Alexandria.

That’s kind of the problem, you don’t have to do any research to know Musk’s politics and why he’s a shithead. He makes sure everyone knows it.

It’s one thing to have a political opinion, it’s a whole other thing when you spend 40 billion dollars to make damn well sure everyone knows what it is.

The Mach E is at the top of my list currently. It would be a great replacement for the Model 3. The only thing the Model 3 really has over the Mach E is the range, but since Ford can charge at Tesla chargers, it’s not really an issue.

There’s a bunch of trucks that do reverse charging now. The Rivian R2 supports it, the R1 was supposed to as well but I’m not sure if that OTA update went out yet. So does the new Silverado EV (which is soooo much cooler than the Cybertruck IMO). There’s probably more, but those are the two off the top of my head.

It was something I was also interested in until I realized I really don’t want a truck.

The gunslinger is definitely a hard one to get going (but it does get going) because he was super young when he wrote it (I think he was like 19 or something like that) but overall the Dark Tower series is one of the best pieces of fiction I’ve ever read. Especially if you’re familiar with his world building (lots of books live within the Dark Tower universe like The Stand, Salem’s Lot, even The Shining to an extent). It also has one of the most memorable open lines of any book series “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gun slinger followed”.

It was more than just the phone books. Back before smart phones, if you needed to look up a phone number you’d call information (411) and they’d look it up for you. For instance, if you were stuck on the side of the road and needed a tow truck.

Information would be able to look up businesses close to where you were using the NPA/NXX of the phone number you were calling from (the first six digits of the number including the area code) and then give you a couple options in alphabetical order.

I had a client who had a phone number in every exchange in NYC and had a name like “AAA Towing” so no matter where in NYC you called information for a tow truck from, they’d usually be the first option given to you.

They’re not hurting the people they need to be hurting.

All of the English teachers agree with him.

Wouldn’t reverse deportation be sending American citizens to a different country? TBH, there’s definitely cases I would at least entertain that argument.

It’s also a boomerish thing to say in general. I’m sitting here holding “foldable media”, my folding phone.

We do the same, but opposite. We have a minivan and a smaller EV. The minivan is technically hers and the EV is mine, but it’s really more what it’s used for. If one of us is taking the kids somewhere (school, birthday parties, fun) we take the van. If we’re running to the store, normal errands or just taking a single kid we’ll use the EV.

It doesn’t make sense for her to take the minivan to run to the store to pick up something small and it doesn’t make sense for me to take the smaller car to bring the kids somewhere.

These aren’t regular people, these are navy soldiers on a high tech warship, I have to imagine their IT would know how to find rogue wifi APs.

You could easily scan for hidden SSIDs. It might not show up in your phone’s wifi list, but that’s by design. The traffic is still there and discoverable. Even with an app like WiFiman (made by Ubiquiti).
