Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: Looks like Elon Musk was on with Joe Rogan again.

Clips coming fast and furious.; ৩১/১০/২৩, ৬:০৬ PM
Dave Begley বলেছেন...: I argued today in the NE S. CT. The State Patrol guards the door. The State Patrolman remarked to us before he let us in that the young lawyers have a planned argument and then they get hit with questions and they kind of come apart.

I said, "It's like what Mike Tyson said, 'Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth."

My opponent goes first and one of the Justices pops her with a very tough question that she wasn't expecting. And then he kept on hitting her. She was stammering. Nearly a KO.

Begley gets up and dumps his prepared argument and kept on pounding her on the same issue (capacity to make a will). And then - in the moment - I came up with the fact that she hadn't assigned the capacity issue as error. That's a major mistake. I'd briefed the case very well and I didn't think of that until today.

The Justices, of course, went after my case but I think I handled it well.

But, boy, they are all very smart and very prepared. In a way it was fun to intellectually spar with them. But if I lose....; ৩১/১০/২৩, ৬:০৬ PM

X Says It Is Worth $19 Billion, Down From $44 Billion Last Year

Saint Croix বলেছেন...: Saw After Death today.

Fantastic doc. I'm not a documentary filmmaker guy, I'm a narrative guy. But this is way, way up there. Step Into Liquid (surfing doc) was my old favorite.

Really interesting movie that explores what happens after we die. Lots of interviews with doctors, including a cardiologist and a neurologist, as they try to find evidence and document it.

Movie has a lot of interviews with people who died. Usually their heart stopped beating. In some cases because of extreme cold, their heart stopped beating and their brain waves stopped, too.

Very interesting movie for religious people or agnostics. Anybody who is curious about what death might be like, or who is open-minded. None of the people seemed crazy. Almost all of them wrote books about it, and many of them are NYT best-sellers. It's still in theaters at the moment.; ৩১/১০/২৩, ৭:১১ PM
Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: Headline: Amazon's Alexa Agrees The 2020 Presidential Election Was Rigged, 'Stolen By A Massive Amount Of Election Fraud'.

Alexa is probably repeating what she hears. Or, this bit is a plant.

Alexa is not trained to parrot narratives.? Unlikely.

This is how Alexa becomes a "trusted source".

They needed an open "controversy" to go in and monkey with the business of information dissemination. From then on to get the trusted sticker, every outlet will have to fall in line.

This is how they'll get Substack and others like Substack to comply.; ৩১/১০/২৩, ৮:০৩ PM

Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...: From r/unpopularopinion: “Trunk or Treating has ruined Halloween

I live in a nice area, low crime rate, well lit, etc.

I got absolutely ZERO trick or treaters. As did my neighbors, and others in the neighborhood. All well decorated and lit up. Finally gave up and posted on my neighborhood page and finally a kid came and took all of it at the end of the night. Can’t even be angry he took the whole thing because it’s the end of the nights.

Bums me out because every parent I’ve spoken to has talked about how much easier it is just to take them and walk around a parking lot.

Personally as a kid I loved walking around to the houses and see all the different decorations on the houses

Next year I’m just not going to bother decorating or getting candy. Too much money just for parents to take their kid to a parking lot

Edit: I live in the southern part of the US. It’s cold, but not snowing or extremely cold. 40°s-50°s”; ৩১/১০/২৩, ৯:৩৬ PM
Joe Smith বলেছেন...: 'Those bankers that funded X purchase now wondering Y.'

You're betting against the wrong horse.

The only way Musk doesn't go huge with X is if the government comes after him.

Unfortunately, this is a favorite tactic of the fascist left.; ৩১/১০/২৩, ৯:৫২ PM
Joe Smith বলেছেন...: 'they caught the guy who threatened to murder Jews in Cornell'

Mike of Snoqualmie বলেছেন...: It's 8:10 PDT and we've gotten zero trick-or-treaters. The Sun set 5:52 and twilight ended at 6:42. We're located on a rural road with about 2 dozen houses.; ৩১/১০/২৩, ১০:১১ PM
Jupiter বলেছেন...: What if you consider the ethical realities of the situation ...

and you conclude that the only ethical outcome of the overall situation in which you find yourself embroiled ...

Is that you should cease to exist?

Must you cease to exist?

Or might you consider, that the ethical system that requires your extinction is -- null. And void.

BTW - This is a trick question.; ৩১/১০/২৩, ১০:১২ PM

gadfly বলেছেন...: Lem - Alexa now uses AI. But Amazon Echo's AI has a way to go to differentiate truth from lies - and to properly present all sides of an issue.

"Powered by generative AI, Alexa is evolving to be smarter and more conversational. Chat without repeating the Alexa wake word, have deeper conversations about topics you love, and use your voice to create Routines with ease. We're excited to give you a free early look. And with more capabilities to come, it will keep getting better."; ৩১/১০/২৩, ১০:৫৬ PM

wendybar বলেছেন...: IT is ALL on purpose. THIS is treason. Time to hang EVERYBODY responsible for this.

"This huge caravan of around 300 migrants crossed into Eagle Pass thanks to Border Patrol lifting the barbed wire. Hundreds of migrants crossed in a few minutes," Border Hawk correspondent Efraín González reports.

"Somehow, these large groups of migrants are informed about the place and time when the forklifts raise the barbed wire to cross in groups."

The Crack Emcee বলেছেন...: LEAKED DOC Reveals Israeli Plan To Empty Gaza Strip; ১/১১/২৩, ৫:৪৪ AM
Humperdink বলেছেন...: In some quarters, but not all, Hamas is being criticized for using civilians as human shields. Ironically in yesterday's testimony, FIB Director Wray indicated the nations terrorist threat exposure is at it's highest level in years. When pressed, the good director refused to address the elephant in the room, that is whether the wide open southern border was permitting terrorists easy access to the US, and by extension, access to large population centers. Which country is using their citizens as canon fodder?; ১/১১/২৩, ৫:৫৮ AM
Kakistocracy বলেছেন...: @ Jersey Fled: Although for clarity’s sake I’d make that clear as the $44bn comparison isn’t quite like for like given the $13bn of debt loaded on. With a declining number of users at a rate of 4% this year and a projected 5% in 2024, were it still a public company and it would be worth one tenth of that by now. Musk is driving his company into oblivion. It's going to be quite literally an X company, reminding me of the famous Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch. It has negative equity. At $19 billion, it might break even. X is bankrupt. Would be filing for Chapter 11 if it were a public company.; ১/১১/২৩, ৬:১০ AM
gilbar বলেছেন...: remember when people Here were saying:
"Oh, those death threats against The Jews are just hoaxes!"
??? remember??
well..
https://nypost.com/2023/10/31/news/person-of-interest-in-custody-in-horrendous-cornell-university-anti-jewish-death-threats/
Patrick Dai, 21-year-old engineering student, arrested in ‘horrendous’ Cornell University anti-Jewish death threats
Dai allegedly threatened to “shoot up 104 west,” a university dining hall that caters predominantly to Kosher diets, and to “slit the throat” of any Jewish men he came across.

But don't worry!
The people here not only won't mention that they were wrong.. They won't Even Realize they WERE wrong!

rhhardin বলেছেন...: Solve the Israel-Gaza war

Go the Solomon route. All international aid to Gaza has to go to Israel to pass on when they feel like it.
(1) Israel already wants to help Gaza, it's just always sabotaged by Hamas. This would not be Israeli stuff so not marked for sabotage so easily. Israel is only the gatekeeper.
(2) Gives Gaza an additional incentive to be nice to Israel.; ১/১১/২৩, ৭:০৮ AM

gadfly বলেছেন...: MAGA Mike Johnson reports no assets but lots of debt on his financial report to Congress. A cumulative bank account balance under $5,000 is not reportable but he shows no investments - not even an IRA.

So where does his money go? Well, we can start with hairdresser fees and lots of $1,000 suits.; ১/১১/২৩, ৭:৩৭ AM

Joe "China owns me!" is an honest politician. The definition of an honest politician is that once bought, stays bought. That's Joe.; ১/১১/২৩, ৭:৪১ AM
Mike of Snoqualmie বলেছেন...: No one wants the Gazans. The Gazans are Hamas and Hamas are the Gazans. Hamas would not exist in Gaza without the cooperation of the Gazans. Egypt and Jordan don't want a terrorist population.

Israel needs to level Gaza and make the Gazans cry uncle. Until Israel can wipe out the death cult of Gaza and break the Gazans of their love of martyrdom, Israel will have to continue its war in Gaza. Once the Gazans have had their faces wiped in the muck they created, then maybe there'll be peace.; ১/১১/২৩, ৭:৪৮ AM
Saint Croix বলেছেন...: Jupiter, he wasn't criticizing the Jews, he made specific threats to kill them.

I don't know if you are a Christian, brother, but I say to you that Jesus is a rabbi, his mother was Jewish, his first 12 disciples were all Jews. Our Good Book is filled with Jews. One of the first questions Peter and the other disciples had to resolve was not whether Jews could get to heaven, but whether anybody else could.

Anybody who cannot love the Jews is actually angry with the Lord.; ১/১১/২৩, ৭:৫৯ AM
TickTock বলেছেন...: Had about 30 trick or treaters last night. Maybe more. Wife's extensive decorations at tracks them. We sent up a table outside and take turns manning it. Only this year my wife flew to Chicago to go trick or treating with our three year old grandson.
