And not at all in the middle of the Sonoran desert, in and around a city of 5 million people, where water is a limited resource.

Phoenix has plenty of water to suit the population if it’s used wisely. Alfalfa is not a wise use of water.

Really needs to back this up with some corroborating evidence like Google maps location timeline or something. I don’t trust Tesla, but I also know when I switched to EV I started making excuses to drive everywhere. Practically free miles and great acceleration made driving a joy again. Also my wife and I would often swap vehicles if she had some errand across town to save on gas. Combined that out way more miles in my EV than I had been putting on the previous gas car.

If all this guy did is commute, then he likely has a case, but I really question that.

That’s the other guys point. We haven’t used it since the 70s, but the system is still in place to be used. Easy to fire it up again.

“All these streaming services trying to make money off your data are bad” says article that requires a membership to read. I’m OOTL on whatever this Roku Moana controversy is and I guess I’ll remain that way, at least as long as the source is Vox.

Like, how the fuck can you enforce that?

US Auditor: you have a DEI program?

CEO: non

US: what’s with all the woman, gays, and blacks?

CEO: they are jee most qualeefied

US: well…. Get more rich white men in here or we won’t be doing business.

CEO: zat sounds like affirmative action.

US: what?

Please forgive me trying to phonetically type a French accent, but again, this is some seriously dumb shit.

You can’t stream the Westworld show either. It was an HBO made show.

I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.

Fair enough. It’s not going to summarize results or anything. I’ll give chatGPT that one. But this is also where chatGPT can easily pull wrong information into the summary. If the “here’s something I found on the web” isn’t accurate, the topic is likely to have the AI summary screw it up too. In which case you’re better off manually searching and filtering results yourself.

I’ve never used Apple intelligence and Siri alone has done a fine job for unit conversions, info lookups, and most any other things. No need to fire up chat GPT for those basic uses
