She could be pretending to not understand because she misses hearing her/his voice.

Podcast on 99% Invisible with the guy, also talking about other one handed keyboards on the market (and why they suck).

40 minute uncut video of Tesla robocar in LA. Impressive. It may be a cheat using remote drivers I suppose.

Here is a short video showing Tesla robocar ignoring a school bus’ stop signs and flashing lights.

Wow, that makes this thread all the more awesome. Thanks!

The phrase “Gandhi’s words are backed with nuclear” refers to a popular internet meme and in-joke related to the video game “Civilization.” In the game, Mahatma Gandhi, known for his non-violent philosophy in real life, has a tendency to become surprisingly aggressive and develop nuclear weapons in later stages of the game. This has led to the humorous association of his name with nuclear power, despite his actual historical stance.

You got a source?

I can’t find anything online about the killer being caught or even being identified. It may even be a real cop.

I want philosophy direct from the Monarch! /s

eg Ghandi succeeded for this reason.

600k Australians protested against the Iraq war in 2003.

The population was about 20m so 3.5% of that is 700k. So if another 100k had joined then the protest would have succeeded?

Yes, all the other rooms of the castle were taken up by cats.

Olympic gold medals don’t make money. It is for national pride. Even hosting the games does not always make money.

Actually I am Aussie. 12 years ago it was calculated that each gold medal costs us AU$12m (so about US$11m in today’s money). It embarrasses me.

Even if we were the only country researching…

I have heard GOP politicians saying something like “why should we fund a cure for a disease and everyone else benefits without spending a cent?”

Why doesn’t their national pride on the world stage extend beyond sport?

Why should the world benefit from our taxpayer funded research? I want my taxes spent on training Americans so as to let the world watch (for free) fast running and swimming.

Am still waiting for a skipping event in the Olympics.

A fairer comparison would be Eliza vs ChatGPT.
