omg, speed, why has no one said 'speed' yet? An hour-long tv show was 350mb, and it took three days to download.

You put red pepper flakes on your pizza sometimes, yeah? She just likes hers in liquid form.

If we stopped all shipments today, Israel still has enough weapons and ammo to continue their current spree for about 8 months. I say we cut them off and send these munitions to Ukraine instead.

Those are structural couches, providing a basin for more contents.

Las Vegas police are refusing to comply with the NFL’s new plan to use facial recognition technology for stadium employees during games. Even though police often use facial recognition to identify suspects, they say giving their biometric data to an unaccountable company crosses a line.

I'd've called the front desk when they were screaming at each other in the room. The front desk handles this sort of thing more than you and would have a better feel as to whether (for example) these are regular customers, how the local cops react, whether this is a normal or irregular occurrence for the area, etc. If the front desk or the cops had then stopped by the room with a noise complaint, that may have interrupted the disagreement enough that it may not have escalated later on. If they didn't stop by with a noise complaint, I very likely would have done the standard 'banging on the wall to get them to shut up' thing, which may have had the same effect (I have trouble sleeping and this nose would've made me very irritable). I don't know if I'd've opened my hotel room door, but I'd've at least looked out the peephole to assess the situation - and I'd've double-checked the lock and chain on the door during the first argument.

The same way you form any group: you meet regularly. Set a time and place that seems like it would be good for a good percentage of the people, and turn up there, every meeting. Have some of the meetings be about a concept or theme; let everyone know what the concept is ahead of time, so they can think about it and maybe do research or bring examples. And have some of the meetings be open meetings, where anyone can talk about stuff relevant to the group's purpose. If it becomes a more active group, you may need to limit talking time per person in the open meetings; and if a particular topic catches fire in an open meeting, you can revisit the topic in a themed meeting.

But groups are formed the same way friendships are formed: people turn up regularly to spend time together. Some meetings you may be the only person there, but be open and welcoming to those that do show up.

So, all those videos where the cops are screaming "Stop resisting!" to some person who is laid out on the ground, not moving and not resisting, piled onto with eight cops holding them down - I'm sure the AI chatbot notices and notes down all that nuance, right?

Relying exclusively on body camera audio—not video

Oops, guess not .... :(

Those who fail to cope are threatened with dismissal and 'execution.'

Sounds like motivation for the rail chiefs and their families to hop a train out of the country.

Last month Musk said that he has had “enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.”

Are the roving gangs of violent drug addicts in the room with us now? Or do they go to a different school?

Imagine hating your own daughter that much. We need more people like Tennant, less people like Musk and Rowling.
