Re: Renewable electricity sources are now a no-brainer
That's marketing talk. :) That marketing talk works for me. A plug in Hybrid with a ~40 mile non combustion range sounds about ideal. It covers all of your daily city driving. Plug into the garage at night. Don't even need a 220v outlet. Regenerative braking for the stop lights. Whenever you need t...

Pointed, you don't have a battery wall for your excess solar, but instead pump it back into the grid?

Outstanding. Thank you.

Or, instead of flipping the coin, spin it on its edge. A new penny that's spun on its edge will land with tails facing up about 80% of the time . Whoa. That one I have to try. Hard to believe. ~80% !

Write a description of downtown Antigua, Guatemala using the style of prose of Ernest Hemingway. The morning sun cast its golden hue on the cobblestone streets of Antigua, Guatemala. The centuries-old architecture, with its ornate facades of brightly painted stucco, seemed almost to glimmer in the ...

Re: Inflation
Of course I eat offal. Raw or cooked. Either way. Why would you think I don't? I make a mean kidney tartare. The trick is to dice the organs up nice and fine and then add some fat. Kidney is too lean to eat without fat. Personally, I prefer raw egg yolk, but olive oil is also an option. It doesn’t ...

Re: ChatGPT and what it means for our future

Large Language Models (which these are) frequently "hallucinate" facts, but generally do it in a way that seems convincing. You can ask for a list of 10 book recom...

Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865. I'm seeing dates in May, June 1865 as the day that The Civil War ended. Therefore how could he be criticized for: 1) His handling of Reconstruction -- which started after his death 2) "his failure to bring the nation together after the war" AI generated t...
