  Yes, I understand how monero works. Yeah you’ll get away with buying some groceries or whatever with it, but people who go through bankruptcy (especially who aren’t rich, and are felons) have a close eye from the government on their finances. If you try to buy a house or a car or anything actually life changing with that, you’re pretty likely to get caught and charged with fraud etc.

  Yes, people often/usually drop the g in quick/casual speech, but most regions I have heard do pronounce it when speaking slower or more formally.

  In UK/Australia/NZ we pronounce it as written, with the l.

  It does, but if it has compromised the BIOS before that, that won’t get wiped.

  You don’t understand why people might more frequently discuss the actions of someone with enormous power and influence, than they would those of Darryl from high school?

  Funny, I can easily do that and assumed everyone could

  Oh, they’re on the menu in gibberish too, I see. Sounds fun.

  Why would you ever choose a coffee mug and a knife as your dish and utensil? That doesn’t work for any food… And a deep plate/wide bowl + fork would work for basically everything.

  Most countries that use 24h time (Western Europe, ime) use both interchangeably - saying “at 18” or “at six in the evening” are both totally normal.

  The world used to think the US was cool. Mainstream public opinion changed roughly around the bush (W) era.

  AI has been being developed for 50 years and the best we can do so far is a dunning-kruger sim. Sure, who knows what it “can do” at some point, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

  Depending on when this “study” was done the Prius probably had a NiMH battery though.
