This is Texas. The last thing they want is to have the public nosing around and holding government accountable.

GPT-6 Astra, however, did eventually learn to navigate the course and complete it. But not without a lot of troubleshooting.

No different than when people first learn to drive. Beween learning how to shift gears while not stalling the car, how much to accelerate, how much to turn the steering wheel, when to turn the steering, and so on, people first learning to drive require a lot of troubleshooting. Each time improves the quality of driving (you hope).

Someone needs to justify their existence.

Not a problem. I'll get my kiwis from the guy down in the street near the Canadian border.

I get what you're saying, but in this age modern logistics allows us to get fruit from anywhere in the world at almost any time of the year. If we only bought local there would be vast empty spaces at the grocery store and our choices would be limited.

Unlike all the humans who do the same thing, right? They're just going through the doors people left open.

Like Aaron Schwartz who went somewhere he shouldn't have been, installed equipment in the location he had no right to be in, then tried to hide his activities. Explain how that is any different than what these agents are doing.

Last I checked, Iran isn't the one committing genocide.

As dear leader has told us, The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT

Never mind. We're doomed.

They make really good tvs. Always get high marks no matter who rates them.

The sad part is Hisense, from China, is usually ranked near the top as well, and we know how seriously China takes privacy.

X has now essentially paywalled everything. Unless you're one of them, you get nothing.

Alcohol is ethanol or ethyl alcohol, which is broken down by the liver into acetaldehyde, a "probable human carcinogen," the National Cancer Institute states on its website.

That saying about living will give you cancer is so true.

Every automatic suffers from lag. You press the pedal and you have to wait for it to spin up before it engages and starts moving. This is especially apparent if you ever have to rapidly accelerate such as getting onto a highway. You press the pedal hard, there's a lag as the car spins up, then suddenly you lurch forward once it tries to catch up.

This does not happen in a stick. You press the pedal and it goes.

I use regularly use gearing to control my speed rather than braking, something people do endlessly. They're always braking. They brake going down hills. They brake going up hills. They brake at green lights. They brake for a squirrel a quarter mile down the road. Using gearing, that eliminates large portions of braking. For example, if I see a light is red, rather than putting on my brake, I shift to a lower gear and let the gears slow me down until I get closer when I then use my brakes to come to a stop.

With a stick shift, the gear never changes until you change it. You don't get the back and forth uncertainty of automatics. If I need to be in a third gear pull because I'm going up a hill, guess what. That's what gear I stay in the entire time.

There a whole host of reasons a stick shift is important me. These are just a few of them.

Since Hyundai no longer makes cars with a stick shift, I've already told the dealer I won't be buying another one. Not that they care, but at least the guy was sympathetic to my view.

Based on the picture, that would drive me insane not to have the speedometer and such directly in front of me. i constantly check it to see how far below the speed limit I'm driving because of the CR-V in front of me.

You can forget that. Texas is already removing nearly 100 polling places in one county alone, which is totally not voter suppression according to Republicans.

Meanwhile, DHS is hunting for that elusive "vote fraud" the Pedo in Chief has been whining about for the past six years, yet has never been able to show said "fraud".

And don't forget the recent change to mail-in voting where the federal government will decide whether you're eligible to vote based on a nebulous list maintained by the government, and the Postal Service gets to decide if they're going to deliver your mail-in ballot.

When you're done holding your breath, let us know.

"They want things done quickly, and they're multitasking,"

Then why are they using touchscreens? Want to turn on the radio? Press a button? Want higher or lower volume? Turn the knob. Want more a/c? Turn the dial. I'm not sure how things can get done more quickly than that using a touchscreen.

As for multitasking, what other tasks are they doing when they're supposed to be driving with their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road? Are they making omelets?

Is that a misprint? Shouldn't that be interlinked? Within cells interlinked.

Why don't you say that three times: Within cells interlinked.
