what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment?

Mmmm not the same , but similar.

My single mother was changing a headlight in our garage. Like any poor person worth her salt, my mother was using a butter knife because we didn't have proper tools. I wanted to see what would happen if i crossed the cars battery terminals with the butter knife. I decided to make it look like an accident. I "bumped" the butter knife and it locked into place across the terminals. Sparks shot from both ends when it made contact. From the center out the butter knife started glowing red from the heat. It all happened so fast, i smacked the butter knife free with my right hand. 30 years later I still have the physical scar across my middle finger, and the emotional scars of what she called me (admittedly deserved).

AI boom adds more than half a trillion dollars to wealth of US tech barons in 2025

Yeah on paper. I can't tell you anyone that I know who is paying for AI. The company I work for does have a Chatgpt subscirption. So i guess thats one.

My point is that we keep hearing about the AI spending, but im not noticing anyone who is paying or even enthusiastic about AI. Its a corporate buzzword and C suites dont understand it yet.

Yet it accounts for 60-70 percent of the growth in the US markets. Does anyone want to take a guess at how this AI boom is gonna end?

This is the most predictable house of cards ever.

Andrew Cuomo says he’ll run a third-party bid for New York mayor after losing Democratic primary

They're preventing the change that's actually going to allow the left win elections again. It's pretty obvious that the Democratic Tea Party moment is starting. Who's knows what this will be called years from now, but it's starting. They learned nothing from what the party did to Bernie Sanders.

He knows he can't win. He can only split the vote, and he's gonna do it anyway.
