Stupid question gets stupid answer. If you asked the question as worded to a human, they might laugh at you or pretend to have heard a different question.

The question is not stupid, it might be banal, but so is "what is 2+2". It shows the limitations of LLMs, in this specific case how they lose track of which object is which.

Took a ferry to France, got a screen saying "Welcome to France", then it dumped me in the middle of the channel.

A Union that can't strike is a union in name only.

Just like a railway! The last time they tried to strike for (checks notes) paid time off, Congress said "No" and prevented them from striking. Legally.

A work to rule union would probably do more damage to space x than a strike…

Old notepad is still in Windows 11 at C:\Windows\notepad.exe

And they even put a nagware in it to point you to the new notepad. Oh MSFT.

Works great still, but now windows won't let me associate .txt files with it. God damn I hate the future

     ftype txtfile=c:\windows\NOTEPAD.EXE %1

I can successfully set that as admin, but it doesn't change anything - file won't open and "open with" pops up an error still that notepad can't be used.

Edit: going with EmEditor; forgot that existed


I think not; it's not somewhere you can conduct a nuclear test without starting a war with Mexico. However it is interesting to look at the TFR area in Google maps; it looks just like a nuclear test site, but the craters are natural volcanoes.

Well, somebody has suggested nuking a tornado before. Why not a vulcano?

Mexico isn’t going to start a war with the US. it would last a week at most, and they’d end up glowing even more than if the us ‘downwinded’ them all year.

If Mexico went to war with America they would rely on asymmetric insurgency tactics. They have no shortage of sympathetic people in America, not just Mexican nationals but native born Americans as well. America hasn't dealt with a genuine domestic insurgency situation before.

That's exactly what russia thought before invading the Ukraine.

Not to be pedantic but it’s just Ukraine. It is an independent country.

Russia calls is “the Ukraine” because they think it’s their territory and not an independent nation.


Thanks, did not know that!

This man was not "weaponized into doing terrible things for others". After he kidnapped an Uber driver and determined she was not a threat, he murdered her in cold blood.

I don't know about "in cold blood." Allegedly they threatened him and his family with death, and he didn't really have time to premeditate killing her. I guess the prosecutor is getting at your point when he said it was not a "reasonable person"'s choice to kill an unarmed person backing away, but I don't think it quite qualifies as cold-blooded either. Maybe I'm too pedantic, but personally it's a reminder to not let emotions push me into a horrible choice like this, because after the fog passes it is objectively senseless.

I guess the gun makes you see it differently? In that, it's easier to kill someone with a gun, therefore the killer less "cold-blooded"? i.e. if the old woman had been stabbed or beaten to death rather than shot, I don't think you would take be taking issue with the term.

Yes, I think so. In a flash of emotion it’s easy to pull the trigger. A caveat I would put is that he seems to have done the shooting over a somewhat long period (I didn’t want to watch the videos closely, but maybe 30+ seconds), so maybe it’s not very “hot-blooded”, but more so than emotionless or planned killing.

I've noticed this lately - when someone dies by accident or somewhat on purpose, people are re-writing the story to say something like: "they put them on the curb, stomped their neck, a shot them in the back of the head with 4 ak-47s for 10 minutes. Something they planned for 6 years."

Paul did not "transform Christianity from a local Jewish cult into a worldwide religion". That was done through military force. Convert, or be burnt at the stake, heretic.

Christians were being thrown to the lions for spreading to too many people long before Christians had the power to throw others to the lions.
