Bud Light drinker spotted

Try drinking a Bell's Two-Hearted and tell me it tastes like pisswater. I'm not saying it's for everyone but it's definitely got some taste to it

With that much stone they should install drainage grates in every room so you can just spray the place down instead of mopping/dusting/sweeping

I'm part of a coalition trying to prevent a private equity firm from buying out a local nonprofit hospital and using AI to "Improve efficiency" is one of their plans that we've had to study (done by people much more competent than I).

The main thing they plan to use AI for is filling out paperwork - nurses will record their introductory interviews with patients and the AI (basically, speech recognition + knowing what fields to fill out for certain information) will automatically fill out that patient's chart.

I'm sure they're planning on using AI for other purposes as well, but this is the most prevalent use - speech recognition and filling out charts automatically.

Yeah, they aren't biblical, basically just Christian fanfiction

Unrefined Uranium is unradioactive enough that just licking it probably wouldn't do lasting damage

Political affiliation is not a protected class, nor should it be.

The problem isn't gravity, it's friction. The train would functionally be in orbit. The reason why things can't be in orbit at ground level is not because of gravity but because of friction (incl. air resistance).

If you eliminated friction (vacuum tube, frictionless surface, etc.) you could indeed have the train moving without any additional energy after getting it up to speed (and if you get it up to orbital speeds, the frictionless surface isn't even necessary). However, this isn't really practical (obviously).

If there is a nugget of a good idea in here, it's a train that never needs to accelerate or decelerate, just maintain a constant speed. Much of the energy of a train is lost in the stop-and-start.

Instead of picketing the streets and striking their jobs, they should try picketing Musk and striking him in the head

I really think you're onto something - just the headline (and, remember, the vast majority of people only read the headlines of articles - so the headline is where the company gets the information they want to convey to as many eyes as possible) calls the company:

  • Dying
  • Fraudulent
  • Anti-Privacy
  • Anti-American

Just to give a potential shareholder as many reasons as possible to decide "I no longer wish to support this company/I want to get out before this company fails".

Maybe TEMU is a bad company with a bad product, but it's worthless arguing about whether or not this is the case when the article itself cares very little about making concrete points and has an ulterior motive in publishing the article.

Crypto is not "technology", it's a grift and a scam
