No, but on far too many occassions, strange cats have come up, jumped on my lap, and settled in, as if they KNOW I'm allergic to cats!

"But mom... I wanted bigger tits!"

"Shut up, honey, I made sure she could cook. Her dumplings are to die for!"

Can you have makeup sex with a chat bot? Not really the same then, is it?

How much do those mail order bridges cost now? (Asking for a friend!) With my luck, I'd get one of the Temu mail order brides,,,

My cat judges me. AI doesn't. /s

Can I still bring my emotional support bot on the plane with me? She just looks like a sex bot, she's not one, really!

LFP sounds ok too. I belive LFP has better energy density, but Sodium will have lower cost. What I really want Sodium batteries for is my home backup power system. But if we start putting Sodium batteries in cars, used Sodium batteries will be available for home power in a decade, and those batteries are supposed to have a really long lifetime.

I just switched from DSL over copper to fiber broadband provided by my electric company... so I'm pretty sure when the power goes out (as it frequently does), I'm going to lose internet too. If you have backup power, that's sound like a good argument for having Starlink internet.

The cellular networks used to be configured to drop an attempted call if it didn't pick up a dial tone for 60 seconds. After the Loma Prieta earthquake, everybody in the country started calling the San Franciso Bay area, so the land lines all took longer than 60 seconds to put up a dial tone, and no outgoing calls could go through. I believe they have since changed that configuration. I speak from personal experience, I was in San Francisco at the time, and completely unable to make any calls on my cell phone.

Yeah, your "Repeal the 17th Amendment TODAY!" signature doesn't make you look like a nut job at all!

Obama was not a perfect predident; no president is. I can think of plenty of things he got wrong. But the divisiveness was due to reactionary racists, not anything Obama did... other than being a black man in America. I'd also say the ADA was better than any alternatives, although Republicans did their best to make it not work. It was based on the principle that the only way to make healthcare affordable for really sick people to force health people to subsidize it. For some reason, that offends the people that don't think they need health care.

I think Obama was one of our better presidents, but the government loaning Solyndra $535 was WRONG. Conservatives are right about some things, and one of them is that the government should not be picking winners and losers in business, because that inevitably leads to corruption as the best way to compete becomes bribing the government to pick your business.

I'm sure AI could _definitely_ design another Ford Pinto!

Three of the gas-powered vehicles I've ridden in have caught fire and burned the the ground.Three! I've never seen an EV catch fire. (I suspect all three were due to busted fuel lines leaking onto hot exhaust.)

Actually no, I think Li-Ion is a bad idea, and I am waiting for Sodium-Ion batteries before I buy my EV. In the meantime, I have a couple plugin hybrids. Do I think the Cybertruck was a stupid idea? Absolutely.

I had a jacked-up pickup actually hit me where the lanes were merging together, because he literally didn't see my Honda. The weird thing is it was San Francisco, and it was a black guy in a Bubba truck.
