My entire job can be described by that old joke of the engineer billing a company $50,000 for fixing a major problem with a machine. But he was seen to simply tap a hammer in just one spot. And when asked for a itemized bill, he broke it down to "Hitting the machine with a hammer: $1. Knowing where to hit the machine with the hammer: $49,999".

So it will be a while before I would be using things like ChatGP.

Really? You think that pressure doors and bulkheads don't exist even now? Have you yet to read any science fiction set on the moon?

Pigs you say? I've seen this documentary and it doesn't turn out well for some people (or pigs)

The fully organic BrainPal was a feature in the later books of the Old Man's War series by John Scalzy.

How to I get rid of Sundar Pichai?

Asking for a friend.

I had no idea the weather was so colorful in that part of the world.

The more you learn!

You've obviously never met any snow boarders

When someone says something like "Does the administration have the guts to do it?", that's simply a veiled attack on your person. It has nothing to do with how good or bad a choice is, in my opinion it's a form of Ad Hominem attack.

I witnessed the same thing personally once when I was in Florida and chose to attend a sales pitch for a timeshare (only for the yucks, and because they were giving away free stuff). The salesman assigned to me tried to find a button to push that would get me to sign a contract. Among the things he tried on me was the "aren't you man enough to make a decision" after I called friend to verify some information. He also literally offered to hook me up with 2 prostitutes for evening if I signed. Even though the salesman kept saying that he didn't receive a commission, when it it became obvious I wasn't going to sign, he got pissed off and simply walked away from me.

So in my opinion, anyone challenging me on who I am automatically raises a red flag that signals that they are shady as fuck. This pitch in Sri Lanka is just the same, but on a larger scale.

To me, the only interesting character in Seinfeld was Kramer. He went out and did things and owned what he did - good or bad. The rest of them just whined about everything.

I did see Michael Richards (who played Kramer) in another, totally different show around the time of Seinfeld, yet he basically played the same character, so it seemed that either he didn't have much range or was being typecast.

And do you know who effectively put the mullahs in power? The CIA. They helped overthrow Mossadegh, and then supported the brutal regime of the Shah, whose regime caused the rise of political Islam, and resulted in the Iranian Revolution that resulted in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Sure it's one brutal regime replacing another, but without the CIA's meddling, Iran would likely have taken a different path.

Viral?!??! Smacking the phone away is likely to be battery

Something doesn't quite add up in your post.

Looking on https://legiscan.com/LA/bill/H... at the enacted HB 142, it says

So basically they want to control the entire world .. lol

I was also amused by (my emphasis)

I understand flagellation as a religious practice, but apparently there are sexual connotations as well.

There are valid use cases for posting AC, so please don't conflate it with people posting BS.

On other sites where you can't post AC, there are still people who post things like what you are complaining about. The solution is simply to down vote and move on.
