Did you need me to repeat for you what was already done by others?

The Speaker pro tempore, who is now de facto in charge of the House despite not being voted into such an important role only below VP in terms of taking over the presidency in an emergency, has mandated that Nancy Pelosi’s staff clear ALL of her belongings from the large office from which she’s worked for years… and to do so immediately so this temporary paper tiger can use it for themselves and post selfies on their socials with their shoes up on the desk. https://www.npr.org/2023/10/04/1203566052/pelosi-office-patrick-mchenry-speaker And also in their own heavily gerrymandered districts. The elected officials act this way because they can and there’s practically zero risk of losing their seats regardless of how heinously they act bc they’ve redrawn the voting maps and gamed the entire system for raw power in place of prudence and good governance. Perhaps since the GOP majority is so razor thin, a few moderate paleo republicans might get peeled off and support Minority Leader Jeffries from the Democratic side. Lol. I know. Snowballs chance in hell, but fun to speculate

He was appointed for 10 days, but when counted from his official start date only held it for 6… Captcha was also confused. At least Pelosi could count

I think it’s 45 (9 months for McCarthy / 6 days for Scaramucci), but counting is a job for Speaker and we no longer have one so it’s probably moot. 😂

Greed, or at least a desire for easy money in a profit focused economy.

It’s not.

I heard his thing was golden showers not golden ratios, but that’s none of my business. 😆 @Phi for All ✌🏼

Very. Matt Judge was an Austin native

Correct. The tripe you're presenting is invalid for other reasons.

That's what she said

This is partially why I referenced self-driving cars. The AI must understand whether the person walking will dart out in front of the vehicle, or if the barking dog will cross the path, or tens of thousands of other "random stupid shit people do" while out and about... the algorithm predicts behaviors. Unsure why with a bit of tuning and training folks don't think it could do the same in terms of learning scuba and monitoring biosigns of newbies. (I acknowledge I'm probably a bit more #techbro on this than others... where I think all of these challenges are more solvable than not)

On another note, watching posts 1 and 3 all queued up like that remind me of an Abbott and Costello routine

Best I can tell from comments like these, the politics are coming from you. Perhaps you're projecting?

Sort of like a self driving car

Depends on who’s machine you get to play with

AI generated training content AI generated knowledge check AI powered assistance submersible. AI generated feedback after initial dives, complete with a recommendation engine on how to close remaining skill gaps. Perhaps not yet, but is hardly impossible nor even improbable.

Breaking News! Human imperfection found even within system designed to minimize inherent biases! More at eleven.

Just bc you stated it doesn’t magically render it true. You appear to be operating from some fundamentally flawed starting principles. Nice little tautology. You get that from a fortune cookie? Believe whatever dumb thing you want, but despite you evangelizing religious adherence is dying and largely being replaced by nationalism around the globe. If saying “godidiit” is a good and satisfying enough answer for you and causes you to stop asking questions and sleep better at night, then have at it. Nobody can stop you, but when you post such silly childishness, people are going to point and laugh and dismiss you like a deluded fool with a sandwich board saying the end is nigh on a street corner.

No. All markets are hybrid. Ideals only exist in textbooks.

Same old vinegared wine, just a new bottle. Don’t panic

That sounds like a crock of shit if you ask me (the policy, not the story)

A collection of allegories, written decades after a man supposedly existed, intended to shape the behavior of masses, borrowing largely from pagan myths which came before. Thank you. I literally laughed out loud at this. That’s rare these days, and I’m grateful for it. What created the creator? You’ve answered literally nothing here, merely displaced the question. It’s turtles all the way down.

Laugh it off. Sip your cuppa tea. Move on with your day

It seems he cares how you think of him. Probably tried to figure it out, could not, and set out to solve the challenge by any means necessary. Spent the time finding the answer online, itself a time consuming task. Shared it back once in hand. Probably learned something new in the process. Why let it bother you? He likely did all this to impress you.
