In 2013, Glasgow City Council put forward plans for a £65,000 restoration project, which included a proposal to double the height of its plinth and raise it to more than six feet (1.8 metres) in height to "deter all but the most determined of vandals".[12] Their planning application contained an estimate that the cost of removing traffic cones from the statue was £100 per callout, and that this could amount to £10,000 per year.
If the police are taking it down 100 times per year and people are putting a new one up 100 times per year, I'm kind of impressed with the determination on both sides.

All of the parties involved in the argument were said to have been drinking.
For God's sake, the British developed technology to deal with this some time back. The Guinness Book of World Records was originally designed to resolve disputes between bar patrons. Just put one in the bar instead of resolving them via homicide.

United States
The highest authenticated rate of egg-laying is 371 in 364 days, laid by a White Leghorn (No. 2988) in an official test conducted by Prof. Harold V. Biellier ending on 29 August 1979 at the College of Agriculture, University of Missouri, USA.

Guinness World Records, known from its inception in 1955 until 1999 as The Guinness Book of Records and in previous United States editions as The Guinness Book of World Records, is a British reference book published annually, listing world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. Sir Hugh Beaver created the concept in order to settle arguments debated in pubs, and twin brothers Norris and Ross McWhirter co-founded the book in London in August 1955.[3]

At a meeting in April, xAI staff lawyer Lily Lim told employees that they would need to submit their biometric data to train the AI companion to be more human-like in its interactions with customers, according to a recording of the meeting review by the Journal.
Employees that were assigned as AI tutors were instructed to sign release forms granting xAI “a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license” to use, reproduce, and distribute their faces and voices, as part of a confidential program code-named “Project Skippy.” The data would be used to train Ani, as well as Grok’s other AI companions.
Huh.
I wonder if xAI has transexual employees, and if so, how socially-conservative users feel about conversing with a composite AI incorporating said data sources.

Lawmaker Antoine Vermorel-Marques had earlier on Wednesday pointed out listings on Shein's site for weapons including brass knuckles, which are banned in France, and an axe.
I would not be incredibly surprised if someone in Europe could get brass knuckles from here in the US, where they're no big deal.

Let's see. Brass knuckles. Vintage design replica brass knuckles. Stealth knuckles to bypass metal detectors. WW1 combination brass knuckles/trench knives. Oversized brass knuckles weighing over a pound. Electrified brass knuckles stun gun.

OpenAI’s “Stargate” project has recently signed an agreement with Samsung and SK hynix for up to 900,000 wafers of DRAM per month. That figure alone would account for close to 40% of global DRAM output.
High-density NAND products are effectively sold out months in advance. Samsung’s next-generation V9 NAND is already nearly booked before it's even launched. Micron has presold almost all of its High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) output through 2026. Contracts that once covered a quarter now span years, with hyperscalers buying directly at the source.
If China's going to compete on AI, it's going to be doing so with a limited supply of memory, I expect.
“We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry,” he wrote.
In a follow-up post, he added, “Have I mentioned my repeated call for civic education.”
Ehh...you could establish a residence in New York City and also in Kentucky and switch your domicile back and forth based on which place you want to vote in a given year.
EDIT: It looks like the bar for both is whether you spend at least 183 days a year, with part days counting. So technically, if you spend about half the year in each place, so some of those days are partly in each, you probably could just choose, since you could meet the bar for domicile in both places concurrently (though you can't actually have a domicile in both places simultaneously). I don't know how frequently you can switch, though, like whether there's a delay in voter registration taking effect or whatever.
Aw, thanks. Glad you like it!
What do you want him to do that he's not doing here?
