I worked at a restaurant from the time I was 16 until I got my A+ and MCSE for computer stuff.

The best review we ever received said the restaurant was, "a triumph of style over entropy." I never forgot that.

Don't tell people you didn't even write a second draft. You're Jack Kerouac now?

So it's the end of the universe, there's no energy left whatsoever, yet there is a cosmic supercomputer? How does that work? He "solved" entropy by shoving it out of the universe and then shoving it back in. Has anyone who read this story actually thought about it?

Asimov died of AIDS and they covered it up.

Write a second draft.

I work as a screening officer at the Edmonton International Airport. This afternoon, I called a passenger through the metal detector, and he had something big in his hands. As he came through, I saw it was a bunch of money. I am required to check out anything being carried. He had four bundles of hundred dollar bills. $40,000 dollars. I wouldn't let that out of my possession, either. He said it was for a poker tournament. Or maybe from a poker tournament. Odd that he would be carrying i

How much does it pay?

BTW, I meet a rich 78 year old guy at Chick-fil-a yesterday. We got talking for an hour. lol Man, that man could talk. I think he could talk to a rock for hours. But very entertaining.

One of the things he was talking about was how hard it was for him at his age to meet women. I told him it should be the opposite. Lots of older widows. One of the things he does is pay women to keep him company for dinners and vacations. He says it's completely nonsexual.

He lives in Newport Beach, the most expensive part of Orange county. When leaving I saw him get in a NICE Mercedes.


I would need an impersonal assistant. Just assist imo and don't try to get close.


I have many questions about this table but foremost among them is whether we are milking the piglet here and if so how and for what. This whole thing is like a demented game of Stardew.

You can buy a Tesla online! A couple button pushes and one will show up at your door!

What's the status of your current car? What did insurance say?


my current car is in great shape, considering my gf crashed it on the freeway. really just the passenger side mirror is broken, and one tiny dent by the mirror.

took it to the mechanic yesterday, and that was a fail. I just fail at everything. the day before on the phone they said they could fix it. but when I went in, they said they couldn't.

insurance is still investigating

gf told me it was her fault, but I'm not so sure. she swerved to avoid a speeding motorcycle. my dashcam recorded it.

and sure you can buy a tesla online and it shows up at your door, but then it locks you in and catches fire. and your money goes to Elon Hitler musk

and your money goes to Elon Hitler musk

Versus going to Hitler Ford or Toyota?

While you use the Chrome browser built by Hitler Google to order all your crap from Hitler Bezos...

Grok3 will draw just about anything




Although it also drew a giant swastika on a banner before censoring itself and deleting the picture.

Supposedly this is a standard gotcha for AI, but I found out the other day that AI can't draw a full glass of wine.

I got Grok to die after much testing when I told it to draw an empty wine glass with the glass tinted dark red.


Filthy, Cars are overrated.


a huge world changing plan from Elon musk???

martian colony? hyper loop? free taxis?


The dude catches rockets out of the sky.


I don't even want to hear about advances in transportation until you can disassemble me atomically and broadcast my righteous ass directly to the required location on a carrier signal like FM radio.
