40C doesn't mean squat to me...but 107F + does.....

40C means something to me:
"Why are electric motors rated at 104F? That's an odd number - oh, never mind, it's a nice round 40C."

Meaning, someone is taking one person's body and slapping on a different person's face and touting it off as the person.

The example in the original article was of an app that input a regular picture of a clothed person and output the same picture, but nude. It was not as apparently fake as slapping someone's face onto a nude picture.

Cars were far superior to horses in every way except they can't refuel themselves.

That is not true. Cars were often inferior until a lot of public money was invested in making lots of better roads.

. . . you see people having to have their bags x-rayed, implying TSA. If TSA, then you have to get there an hour early to ensure getting to the train on time.

I've ridden Amtrack a few times and had to have my baggage x-rayed and my ticket checked while walking thru a metal detector. It was nothing like at the airport. The worst was a 15 minute line, and that was not because of the TSA, it was because of delayed departures causing crowding. Plus I did not have to walk a mile to my gate after going thru security, it was right in front of the platform.

The power to tax and spend is not an "unlimited power".

Imagine if they made working there mandatory for all young women?

That would be neither taxing nor spending.

I get an amazon package every day. I've never seen an amazon branded truck.

I get amazon package deliveries a couple of times a week. Sometimes they are Amazon-branded trucks, sometimes not. Infrequently the delivery vehicle is a car.

I think any engineering out fit should have c-levels that are mandated by law to be engineers

It is already the case in most states that at least some of the owners / directors of an engineering company must be licensed engineers, and that all engineering has to be done under the direct supervision and responsibility of a licensed engineer. Varies by state and by type of corporation / partnership / sole proprietorship.

I figured if someone got a cool shot of it, the Internet would have it up in little to no time, so I didn't need to see it, personally.

There's a big difference between 90% and totality. I traveled from where I live, which was 94%, to my daughter's house, which had 3 min 45 sec of totality. It was totally worth it, not the same as a picture on the web.

Typically we consider anything under 1000ppm indoors acceptable, but that top end is the starting range of issues... and indoor concentrations can only decrease by mixing with outdoor concentrations. This means we're already dangerously close to having indoor air quality issues that make us measurably dumber.

The 1,000 ppm indoor target is a surrogate for other indoor pollutants, from assumptions of how much carbon dioxide is produced by each person and rates of indoor pollution generation, used to gauge whether effective ventilation is being provided. Recent nationally recognized standards call for limiting indoor CO2 to no more than 700 ppm above outdoor levels.
It is not unusual for indoor levels to be greater, occasionally closer to 2,000 ppm. Reports of stuffiness & drowsiness are related much more to humidity levels and temperatures than CO2 levels.
OSHA limits workplace exposure to a maximum 5,000 ppm for an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average.
Typically, 10,000 ppm does not cause symptoms except possible drowsiness. 15,000 ppm causes mild respiratory symptoms for some people. 40,000 ppm is considered immediately dangerous to health or life.
YMMV, especially if you have respiratory or cardiac issues.

Try counting Apples. Are any of those identical? No. The whole idea of "counting" is a made-up fantasy that ignores almost all aspects of reality.

Only if you use a definition of apple that requires each apple to be identical in all respects.
