If you had read the paper, you would have seen how they did it.
The number is probably more credible than you'd like.

Essentially, they paired ChatGPT users with data from data brokers in a DCR and if your questions were about your known profession, then it was work related.
The data brokers likely know what color your underwear is, and that you didn't change it this morning.

You don't get to bring that up unprompted and then play "this is personal" to get out of justifying what was claimed.

Sure one does.

It holds exactly as much weight either way- an anecdote of dubious origin.
This is rsilvergun after all, someone who is fond of calling me a right-wing nutjob.

More so, the question can easily be addressed categorically, without naming people and events.

Sure it can- but frankly, that's none of your fucking business.

The claim isn't remotely controversial, so why ask for details? I think you just want to force him somewhere he won't go so that you can point and say, "ha! See? The sky isn't blue after all!"

I can only offer anecdotes. Take them for what they are.
I have 2 coworkers with Teslas. A Model 3 LR (single motor), and a Model Y Performance.
They both claim, as of this minute on our group text thread, "around 40k" per set of shoes.
This is for a vehicle with 271hp, and a vehicle with 460hp. Surprising they they're even similar, but then again- the Y has 4 driven wheels, not 2. Expensive.
My Mustang does around 20k per set of shoes (rear only, fortunately)- you dual-motor people are learning what my sister did about her first AWD car :P
So far- seems like it performance a little better than my car of similar performance (my tires are sticky as hell- Toyo Proxes)

Now what I will grant you, is that my Ford Probe when I was 18 went like 80k miles on a set of tires.
Then again, it had like 110hp and weighed like 2800lbs. Aggressive motions (rapid start and stop) are what eat tires. I think Tesla drivers sometimes forget that they're driving performance cars.

EVs practically beg you for hard starts.
Cars don't use up tires like the 2500lb things we had in the 90s.

The fact is, EVs do not weigh more than teh average American vehicle. That doesn't mean they don't weigh more than teh average vehicle you yourself owned.

The original claim that ACA saved rsliver's friends and family lives. If that was the actual case, there would be factual account of how and why.

Nonsense. That's personal information and frankly none of your business.
The point is, it's so fucking plausible to not be worth questioning.

The real point you failed to address, of course, is that Democratic policies are in general made life more miserable and expensive for everyone, even if it happened to save some lives somewhere, perhaps by accident. This is largely because Democrats in general and rabid leftists like you in particular are not friends with logic and reason, instead choosing to emote your way into counterproductive and often harmful action.

lol- you fucking moron.
I'm called a Trump supporter, a leftist, a communist and a fascist on this site.
What I really am, is not a partisan dumbshit like you.

The population does better under Democrats. This is a fact. It's been studies so much at this point that denying it can only be called funny. At least be clever and say something like, "Those Democratic governments merely did better because of the lag from the actions of the previous Republican administration".

I can mention bad shit about the Democratic party all day long. But you- you have to deny facts, otherwise your simple little fucking brain can't make sense of the world.

You are 100% certified delusional and a danger to society if you believe that spoken words of criticism in any form or shape justify shooting someone in the neck to death.

Nice try, piece of shit.
I didn't say that in the slightest.
I said the fucker who got shot advocated for it.
The quote that immediately follows that is Charlie Kirk's.

You do understand that at some point people on the right will start shooting back, don't you?

This is exactly what I'd expect of someone like you. So steeped in partisanship your brain has gone to mush.
Right-wingers have been shooting for a while now- you just fucking ignored it.
This political violence isn't new. It's merely escalating. And "right-wingers" are just as eager to play.

More so, none of the quotes you provided raise to the level of a threat by any reasonable interpretation.

They sure the fuck do- a threat to take away one's rights.
I never said they represent a threat to their personal safety.

You don't really have an argument, do you? You just make shit up and throw punches at it.
Are you actually capable of saying anything that you don't regurgitate from one of your favorite talking heads?

I'm quite sure the ACA has saved a fucking shitton of lives- how could it not? It insured literal actual millions of people who simply did not go to the doctor until they were dying.

Let us suppose that you're not a stupid person. As a not-stupid-person, how in the fuck could you not derive that for yourself?

The real point that you were trying to make, of course, is your not-so-subtle implication that those dirty lazy people didn't deserve health insurance.

That's a value judgement, and I didn't come here to debate that with you.
It is, however, pretty fucking dark- and I think you know that, which is why you're too cowardly to come out and say it.

Did he attack him directly or verbally? These are not the same thing.

Incorrect.
Attack does not confer physical or nonphysical meaning. You know the answer to your rhetorical question, even if you're ignorant of the definition of the words you're wielding.

Words have meaning and that meaning matter when we discussing shooting someone in the neck.

Indeed. Which is why I'm not going to let you whitewash dude's daily attack posture as nothing.

You bitch about people calling him a fascist, while he openly said shit like this:

The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white.

The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different.

We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately.

Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.

Nobody should get shot in the neck for talking shit. Not even for threatening to steal someones rights.
However, if someone were to shoot him in the neck for threatening his rights... well,

I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

What I find so amazing, is you take some dude who was mentally ill, or snapped, or some shit- and shot a motherfucker.

That motherfucker directly attacked this person verbally, while advocating for the removal of their rights and other fun things. Fucking constantly.

And you blame those who called that behavior detestable, or called him a fascist, for the kid snapping. Not the dude that was attacking him and his.
Your lack of self-awareness is truly fucking incredible.

This is what protecting your rights with the second amendment looks like. Don't like it much, do you?

That's a potatoes to cucumbers comparison.

With EVs, we're discussing the loss in battery capacity. That's why on-board battery heaters help the problem despite using power.

The above is talking about road condition losses, extra cabin heating use, etc.
That is on top of the capacity loss that an EV sustains, which is why that's another 20% on top of the 20% capacity loss, which is why they say it's about 40%.

For little stuff, I find it literally slower to wait for AI to spit out the code I asked for, than to just type it myself.

This is quite obviously a lie.

Come up with 1 page summary of an application that you want. All the things it has to do.
I will complete it with an LLM in 15-20 minutes.
You will take hours.

The LLM produces tokens faster than I can type, and I can type faster than you.

What AI is actually good for, is stuff where you know exactly what to do, but might not know the exact syntax or the exact API signature.

NO. Fucking hell. RTFM. Asking teh AI to hallucinate non-existent objects and methods into existence?

You're clearly making this shit up. Why?
