"Know?" Maybe not. "Infer?" Absolutely. 10AM-6PM is in the range that normal office workers are at their desks, so it stands to reason they are asking their office workers to be in a warehouse instead of at their desks. It's not exactly a giant leap to conclude such.

Grok has said Elon is one of the greatest purveyors of misinformation on Twitter.

In fact, after Grok publicly corrected Elon on his misinformation, the little wannbe said he would be changing Grok's programming to stop showing truthful information.

It was reduced to five years:

Thanks. It doesn't appear in my Apps list, so I probably took it out via the ADB interaction. However, I don't like seeing it in the list of possible "Digital Assistants" if it's been uninstalled.

Oblig. Dr. Ian Malcolm: "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

That's good to hear!

Now, how do I rip out Gemini, or ensure it's never installed?

Congratulations. You're the reason pests creep into other people's homes or invasive weeds overrun people's properties by forcing out native plants.

If you don't care about your lawn then move to the desert where you don't have to worry about such things. There are those who want a nice green lawn or lots of flowers for pollenators.

Try Death Parade and Death Note. No, they are not related.

86 is considered mecha (not by me, though, to be honest) and it is pretty popular

86 is definitely good, but the one thing I can't get over is the mecha they use to fight in. Of all the possible designs, that's what they chose?

Can't wait for the next season to see how the reunion goes.

Placing bets on whether he'll slap an additional tariff on Poland because they're decreasing their use of coal.

There is a UFC fight scheduled for the white house lawn next year.

I wish I were kidding. :(

China's economy can always sell product to Chinese people. There are a lot of them. Not to mention the rest of the world, which is happy to trade with China, if only because China isn't constantly making unreasonable and incoherent demands on everyone.

"Mad Max" seems to have seriously underestimated the creativity of Australians regarding energy production :)

I think they expected that since they had paid to purchase the game, they would be able to play that game for as long as they cared to, i.e. same as the deal you get when you purchase a book or a DVD.

You can argue that they were wrong to expect that, but that's the usual way of thinking about items that you buy, so that's what people (who haven't yet thought through the implications of software shrink-wrap licensing agreements) naturally expect.

If being able to play the game perpetually isn't a viable business model, then perhaps the publisher should be required to specify up-front how long (at minimum) they will guarantee purchasers access to the game; that way nobody will be surprised when their access goes away, because they understood the time-limit on what they were purchasing before they made the purchase.

... and in 2020 it was "anyone but Trump", as it will be again in 2028, assuming we still have elections then.

Step back a bit, and you realize the real voting pattern is "anyone but the incumbent", because the system has deteriorated to the point where problems don't get solved anymore, so voters are just blindly switching back and forth from one party to the other in the hopes that doing that will somehow lead to improvement. American Democracy has devolved into the world's most elaborate ring oscillator.
