    Working from the definition of sociopathy, I think you could substitute “AI” in a few spots and end up with a nearly equally-accurate definition of AI:

    A sociopath is someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition that involves a lack of regard for others' feelings and rights. People with ASPD may: Lack empathy and remorse Manipulate others for personal gain Behave impulsively or aggressively Break rules or laws Feel little guilt for harming others Seem charming at first Have difficulty understanding others' feelings

    And I also believe that when the reporter asked if he denounced the bomb threats, Trump didn’t know what “denounce” means.

    Sooooo…the next update to AI is sociopathy:

    Because AIs don’t share common human values like fairness or justice — they’re just focused on the goal they’re given — they might go about achieving their goal in a way humans would find horrifying.

    Good. The benefit outweighs the cost by a huge margin.

    You might see a few butt-hurts nerd-raging over self-repair, but the problem associated with worldwide stolen phones and Frankenstein iPhone units is a much bigger issue than a few insulated incels wanting to self-repair their iPhones.

    No one is getting stabbed in a subway station over self-repair.

    (And that’s all based on the assumption it may impact self-repair, it’s still in beta)

    I suppose this meme just highlights a lie of omission for not clarifying that they’re both pro-genocide—except the racist dude has publicly said there hasn’t been nearly enough genocide.

    It’s a new game in which you play two folk musicians from New Zealand. You start off in a small NY apartment trying to get gigs and establish a relationship with an official at the local New Zealand consulate who later becomes your band manager.

    It cost $4-billion dollars to develop, utilizes the F-14 Tomcat game engine from GameBoy Advance, and is expected to generate tens of dollars of revenue for Sony Corp.

    Just seemed like he was “done” with the interview and used the introduced topic of assassination/security as a way to force an exit.

    Reference

    City | Transit Buses have average lengths of 39'2” (11.95 m), widths of 8'4” (2.55 m), heights of 9'10” (2.99 m)

    source

    Most popular “car” in US—Ford F-150

    Overall length, 19.3’ ; Cab height, 6.45’ ; Width - Excluding mirrors, 6.66’

    source

    Lane widths in US vary, but should be between 9’ and 12’ (inclusive range for both local streets and highways)

    source

    Conclusion: Busses are wider than cars, both can fit within driving lanes

    Kinda depends on how you are measuring it.

    It sounds like you are just going by elected presidents, but quite a few were multiple-term presidents, and those presidents had multiple elections with different opponents.

    And sometimes, a losing opponent would go on to win a later election.

    Also, no one ran against George Washington, twice.

    Out of 59 elections (if you include Washington), I think there have been 49 white guys and one white lady who have lost a US Presidential election at least once (and may or may not have gone on to be President in a later election).

    I don’t think it is purely just “traditionally feminine” cosmetic choices driving this commentary—it is the elective injections and surgical procedures targeted at altering appearance, which I would say Matt Gaetz is getting equal, critical attention for as well.

    If I was trying to to get somewhere, and had the choice of a broken train or no train, from a safety perspective I’d probably choose “no train”.

    But if the reality was that choosing “no train” better enabled a “crazy train” to show up and take me to “crazy town”, I’d probably just roll my dice on the broken train to Dullsville.

    What I really want is a high speed train to Happytown, but nobody is selling tickets for that…

    There’s a train station parking lot where I live which has solar canopies over the car spots.

    In the winter, snow and ice accumulates and does fall off. A few years ago a saw a big section of ice/slush slough off and almost hit a kid waiting for their parent to pick them up.

    I’m not sure how bad it really is overall, but the photo in this post doesn’t look much like an area which gets snowfall.

    No Home App after OS 10 Update: Series 4

    I wear my Stainless Steel Series 4 to bed. After updating to watch OS 10, I noticed it would not accept Siri commands for my HomeKit accessories. I only wear it to bed, so I just chalked it up to an early bug and ignored it. After loading each update between 10.0 and 10.1, the issue has persisted. When opening the Home app on the the watch, it would just show the clean energy info at the top of the display and at the bottom it would indicate I haven’t set up any home accessories (I have tons, and they all work on my Ultra Watch and all other devices). So, I decided to erase all content and setting and set up as new. Now, the Home app isn’t even installed on the Watch, and does not appear in the list of apps in the Watch app on my phone. I didn’t notice anything about HomeKit or Home app support being discontinued or unsupported in Watch OS 10 on older models. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Improvise tool for lever lock? https://i.imgur.com/DVLqPV3.jpg

    I have an antique desk which has three locks and a single key. My key continues to work for one of the locks, but when inserted into the other two lock key ways, the key will not turn in either direction (will basically wiggle a millimeter or so in either direction, but does not start to actually turn). I am a very amateurish lock picker—I can rake a basic lock or use a snap gun, but this lever/mortise lock is very different from anything I have tried to pick before. I should mention that I used the working lock to confirm that the key fully inserts into the other two locks before attempting to turn the key. I’ve tried looking up tools for picking this lock and watched some YouTube videos. I am curious if anyone with experience picking this sort of lock might offer some advice on tools to get or improvise. I’m including a photo of the key to help identify what might be needed. Any advice is appreciated.
