So, apparently in 2010 Chevy Camaros, the only manual release handle for the trunk is *inside* the trunk. That means you cannot open the trunk from the outside when the battery is dead.
In this model of car, the battery is located in the trunk. 🤦♂️
One big problem with predictive-text coding tools is their willingness to predict deprecated code. At some point there will need to be some kind of awareness of versioning to make it truly useful.
We'd really be screwed if it wasn't for federal courts consistently slapping the shit out of #DeSantis.
In this one, they tell him his map is way too racist and he needs to redraw it.
At least DeSantis is consistent… DeSantis' Florida redistricting map is unconstitutional and must be redrawn, judge https://www.nbcnews.com/polit...

In 2021, Washington State passed a 7% capital gains tax on the rich.
To date, that tax has raised over $850 million dollars — three times what it was supposed to.
Amazon is still here.
Microsoft is still here.
Boeing is still here.
The wealthy are doing just fine. Anyone who tells you we can't tax "job creators" is lying to you.

If someone you knew had a partner who was prohibiting them from making their own decisions, threatening them and anyone who helps them for going against their wishes, and physically preventing them from leaving, you would probably be extremely concerned.
This is literally what Republicans are doing to women in red states.
They are codifying abuse.

@jeffjarvis “It is ironic that newspaper publishers would decry AI reading and learning from their text when journalists themselves read, learn from, rewrite, and repurpose each others’ work in their publications every day. They do the same with sources and experts, without remuneration and often without credit. This is the time-honored tradition in the field.” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I feel a bit sorry for the folks who are only now deciding to do this after Elon shut down the API access necessary for tools that were able to delete everything with one click.
It's incredible how quickly I can lose respect for a person when I see them in a cheesy commercial shilling some product.
domestic violence
PSA, ladies: If he has a domestic violence conviction, don't date him. If he has a domestic violence conviction against you, *definitely* don't date him.
I can't believe anyone needs to hear this.
domestic violence
Judge Judy: "So after he went to jail for domestic violence against you, you got back together?"
Plaintiff: "Yes, your honor."
I'm normally very opposed to victim-blaming, but jeeeeeez. How dumb do you have to be?
(Spoiler alert, he beat her a bunch more times after they got back together because of course he did.)

Never in my life would I expected a cybersecurity issue (at least not a non-food safety issue) to result in a food recall

A leak of #Libertarian Party leadership communications reveals crude remarks – including a talking point from anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theories and discussions of the Colorado Libertarian Party’s collaboration with the GOP – and raises questions about the party’s adherence to Federal Election Commission rules.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee says he'll permit a live #YouTube stream of all related hearings and trials emanating from the indictment in #Georgia of Donald Trump. The live stream will be operated by the court. https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2023/08/31/updates-judge-approves-youtube-stream-donald-trump-hearings-trials/

Lab partner: How did you manage to set a glass beaker on fire?
Me: It's not science if the fire truck doesn't show up.
LP: Your hair is smoking.
Me: Thanks.
LP: Literally.
Me: Science.
One very interesting observation from coding with #AI/#ML:
I've found that I've started subconsciously trying to race #GithubCopilot to type out lines of code before it can guess them.
I used to stop occasionally to sit and ponder what I wanted to write, but now if I do that, the machine tells me what I wanted and it's usually right, so that motivates me to stop pondering and do what I know needs to get done.
It feels like a productivity booster.
This is strange. Usually after a hurricane passes through, it takes all the weather with it and there are beautiful clear skies for a few days.
Nobody should be allowed to work a good job without first proving their willingness to work shitty jobs.

Trust me on this. You absolutely want to spend 10 minutes reading about this random pedestrian bridge in Minnesota.
