I think you forgot to add: "... after every single power outage."

Is this a horoscope?

These wild swings between AI thinning out the workforce and making all our jerbs obsolete to not being sure if AI is even useful is giving me a headache.

Except England is one small data point in a large Earth. All it takes is a small change in a certain ocean current to create a large change there.

Quickly in that case is closer to a million years then 100 years.

Evolution doesn't care about anything. Gene survival is more likely with family around instead of dead and gene survival is what is selected for.

Now, yes, there are predictions that you could get a supermassive black hole launched into space, especially during a galaxy merger if the velocity of the smaller black hole exceeds the escape velocity of the combined galaxy.

But I'd be wary of assuming that it's a launched black hole, unless we can find the merger it comes from. There may be ways for such a black hole to form that cause the stars to be launched away rather than the black hole being flung, and if a galaxy isn't rotating fast enough to be stable, one could imagine that a sufficiently small galaxy was simply consumed by its central black hole. Both of these would seem to produce exactly the same outcome, if all we have is the black hole itself and a velocity.

I'm not going to say either of these is likely in this case, or that astronomers haven't examine them (they almost certainly have), but rather that we should be cautious until we've a clearer idea of what the astronomers have actually been able to determine or rule out.

For many shelf life rather than miles driven is the limiting factor. Without a doubt people can and have racked up hundreds of thousands of miles on a single battery in a short number of years. While this sounds impressive it isn't a relevant metric for most drivers. What really matters is what happens to the average driver who takes 15... 20 years to reach that same 200k miles?

70% capacity is way below the 80% industry cutoff for lithium battery life. The issue here is not reduced capacity in and of itself but rather tendency of the rate of further capacity decline to fall off a cliff beyond the 80% threshold.

Just like when TRR was opt-in via a dark pattern prompt until it silently became opt-out with zero notification.

... I've see that pro AI group somewhere.

I wouldn't discount the "outright cracked" some of them have lots of money and influence. JD Vance's pal Thiel is running around giving lectures on the Antichrist whom he believes is none other than Greta Thunberg. I always knew the froggy hats would give her away.

No, he is acting like a dictator. I have a King, he's job is to sign papers that are put in front of him. He can also advise, counsel and warn about those papers but at the end of the day, he signs.
The tradition for a King who acts like a dictator is to remove his head, though for the last 300 plus years, simply removing him from the throne or in one case, declaring him unfit, has been standard.
The King Reigns, Parliament Rules.

There is no game I want to play enough to compel me to jump through ANY of these hoops.

Yes and no. Mostly yes and the Calorie value is certainly important. Obviously the body can't run without energy and basically eats itself to try to stay alive without enough Calories. Even in regular starvation though, the lack of micronutrients can exacerbate the health issues. Then there are types of starvation where Caloric intake is high enough to keep the body going, but the lack of other nutrients can cause potentially fatal health problems. One example is so-called "rabbit starvation" (which notably is not really a problem from eating rabbit, just from only eating the lean muscle and not the skin and organs) where someone is getting basically only protein. Then there's diseases from eating only non-nixtamalized corn like Kwashiorkor and Pellagra where you may technically be getting enough food Calories, but lack of micronutrients causes your body to fail anyway.

Yep. The Romans loved their lead-based sweeteners. Just boil some grape juice in a big lead pot and collect the lead acetate. Delicious on just about everything.
