Two things you'll never hear from people with personality disorders like Ramaswamy or Trump is "that thing I did was wrong" or "I'm sorry." They have to protect their egos at all costs, ego injury is intolerable for them.

So many of them are the worst kind of sociopaths. Ramaswamy, Trump, Vance, all of them lack the capability of understanding that other people have emotions. They don't care if a child gets hurt, because it's not them. They don't care that this woman abused and abandoned her children, they put her on TV because she supports them.

High culture right here

My grandmother passed away in 2015, but when she was born in 1922, there were Civil War veterans and people who had been owned as slaves still walking around. She was 43 when the Civil Rights Act passed

That's a lot of labels and definitions

I don't know what the metric system is, but SI stands for "Sports Illustrated."

Are there zoning laws related to building footprints vs lot size, or maximum building square footage? In the US, many of these utilitarian box structures are designed to take advantage of the maximum allowable building size on a specific lot (This varies greatly by state and city)

Is this saying a love triangle is a threesome? I've literally never heard the term love triangle describe a threesome

In my experience, no, it's not your boss at all, it's the C-Suite. In the overwhelming majority of companies, the people who are 2-3 levels of management above frontline staff have little to nothing to do with setting wages

The loss, up from $13 billion a year earlier, was driven by $72 billion in accounting charges tied to changes in the value of financial instruments Anthropic issued to raise money

This right here is how all of this will come crashing down. Anthropic and OpenAI, along with several associated companies, are using accounting tricks to hide their debts and obligations. These two are trying to maintain hype for investors so they can cash in on an IPO with total disregard for long-term fiscal sustainability. At some point the bill will come due, and you can bet the C-Suite will have already made out like bandits.

This article only describes the literal words of the President

I'm interested to know from where you glean this, since "Subaru hasn't disclosed battery capacity, charging speed, or real-world range for this prototype. The company stresses that the test mule's wagon body has nothing to do with what a production vehicle will look like."

as I’m sure you know, we couldn’t run the house AC or anything like that

No, I don't know. Why couldn't you run the AC?! Especially if you're just setting up shots and not filming?

Understood. One point though, a normally functioning AC unit is designed to run continuously during the hottest part of the day at the hottest part of the year. But I doubt the woman with a piss-house had an AC unit that was fully up to par

Definitely, the cost of doing business for these AI companies is orders of magnitude higher than Uber or Lyft

Yeah this is what I was going to say, the AC doesn't care what the temperature in the house actually is beyond when the thermostat tells it to turn on or off. Running continuously to maintain room temperature on a 100°F day will be the same to the unit whether the actual interior temp is 78° or 98°

I'm trying really hard to understand...is this tweet screenshot aiming to discourage Americans from voting?

I'm also genuinely curious where these riots in France are going to end up. What's changed so far? From my perspective in the US, it seems they might've pushed a big segment of moderates away and made it more likely the far right will win the next election. Oh yeah, did you know they vote in France, too? Because it's a fucking democracy.

I usually sit right there with them, watching and talking. I've found most people who work in trades love to explain what they're doing, and it's like a free class. Actually, more like a class you pay a lot for. Anyway, occasionally I've had someone who obviously isn't interested in talking, but the overwhelming majority are totally down.
