The Cybertruck isn’t road legal in the UK. And if it was it’d need a special license due to it’s weight.

- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 5 weeks ago:
TBF, I absolutely should have used them, but I was cooking for 25 people, and honestly totally forgot about them. I was rushing about with the BBQ, into the kitchen switching out cooked pizza for uncooked and trying to catch a sip of beer in between all that… As a result the salmon came out amazing, slow smoked at 60° for 3 hours because I totally forgot about it until the wife would occasionally say: the smoker’s not smoking!

I’ve got a Bluetooth temp probe set. They work a treat. And I totally forgot to even use them when I got smoked a salmon and chicken wings for Canada Day.

AI hype is smoke and mirrors
Funny story. When I was in my early 20s myself and 2 friends had been on a major shroom trip, full day affair. We were on the last bus to our small town, and the only other person on the bus was a middle aged stoner.
Just as we’re starting to get into town the stoner says:
You guys wanna smoke a joint?Us: Sure, where you getting off?
Stoner: Nah, we’ll just smoke it here at the back of the bus!
Us: Aren’t you worried about getting kicked off the bus?
Stoner: Nah man, they call it smoke and mirrors because you can’t see smoke in mirrors!
Now, I was still fucked on mushrooms, but even I could tell this man had smoked himself within a razor’s edge of his last brain cell.

How? There’s loads of actual humans who have been pointing things out for decades at this point, what makes you think the government is going to listen to an LLM when they ignore the experts who’ve been doing this for ages?
