I didn’t get it, but that doesn’t mean you did a poor job conveying your intent, and I like the artwork.

If you stir it for a while, it’s literally plain icing.

That’s a much more interesting comment and link. Hopefully the production batteries do better than the trial run. We will see soon enough.

Wild claims? “‘We did this thing in the lab.’ It could be a breakthrough provided they can scale production.” The only thing that would make this a wild claim is if they didn’t actually do what they said or if it didn’t work like they said. They didn’t even claim this could be commercialized.

Also, Professor Zhao works at Western University, in Ontario, Canada. Here’s an article about this same research on their website. The only reference to CATL in the article you linked mentions that they are commercially producing sodium ion batteries using a different process.

“My pronouns are dipshit/buddy”? One complimentary, the other derogatory. These are neopronouns I can get behind 100%.

I’m not an American, but as a Canadian this is still far more important to me than I’d like it to be. Hopefully this helps make a difference.

I had this exact opinion when Amazon lost less money than expected in 1999. I’m sure people had similar opinions before 1929. This isn’t something new.

Exactly so.

This reminds me of a story. I knew someone who worked with an autistic person, and he’d keep answering the door in his underwear. She’d say, “Hey, you need to get dressed,” and off he’d go to get dressed, but she complained that this just kept happening. So I said to her, “Did you try telling him that he should be dressed before he answers the door?” Well, no, of course she hadn’t told him that because obviously she doesn’t want him answering the door in his underwear. So I told her, “The next time this happens, tell him, ‘It’s not appropriate to answer the door in your underwear. When I’m coming over, make sure you’re dressed before you answer the door.’” And what do you know, this autistic retiree doesn’t answer the door in his underwear any more. For her, at least, which is still an improvement, and at an age where most would have given up on him learning anything new. It just needed to be presented to him in a clear, unambiguous manner and he was happy to comply.

I had a child with ASD who couldn’t draw a bath by the time they were 10. My wife and I were separated and she just coddled them. Once I realized their siblings were doing it for them, I spent 2 weekends showing them what to do and the problem was solved. Years worth of delay because they’re “special”. Still dealing with the aftermath of that attitude where just because things will be harder for them their mom didn’t even try.

White Christmas, released in 1954, for example.

Also hurt the wrong people - rich people.

It was the first commercial version, from the NT line that was user-friendly and capable enough for home users. Prior to that, it was difficult to get games to run on the NT line and permissions were more complicated than most home users wanted to deal with. After that, they were essentially the same product line.

Typical Microsoft. “Let the user decide when their computer wakes up? Nah, they let us decide what’s important or it stays asleep.”

Your inhibitions are also, to a degree, part of what make you who you want to be. Not excusing him, certainly not defending him, but sometimes a little inhibition is a good thing.

There was a more general flipping off of the constituents in canada in the 80s. The Trudeau Salute.

I think people at any age need to be given room to grow.

Yeah, I don’t have any horse in this race, any more than the average person should, and I haven’t put any effort into seeing who’s made the choice to have kids with Elon, so this is everything I know about her, but that certainly sounds like a well thought out, heartfelt apology, with no equivocation. People need to be given room to grow if the world is going to get any better, even in a shitty time like this.

She can own she made a mistake like any fully functioning adult would.

“I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain,” St. Clair wrote, referencing Musk’s daughter Vivian Wilson, who is trans. “Idrk how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.”

Isn’t that exactly what she did?

I thought it was cold soup!

There goes 2 hours I had absolutely no intention of spending there.
