  1. And not their intellect - at least not that of his preferred (mostly blond) choices. That leads some to believe that blonds are not intellectually gifted. Obviously not always true but convenient to the christofashist view that females are lesser than males.
  2. Sure. That one aspect raises another energy requirement of non ground vehicles. Land vehicles can stop without expending energy. Air vehicles require extra energy to stop or turn. So apart from a very great amount of energy to levitate, even more energy is needed to stop and to turn. Historically, this energy requirement has hampered every previous attempt at flying (even our aeroplanes). Has Mr musk found a new great lightweight energy source? If not, the magical levitating car is just a PR exercise, probably aimed at raising money.
  3. On the money there. No practical use in real world transporting humans around. No mention of the vast amount of energy required for VTOL. No mention of what powers the thrustors which seemed to have blue flames, and I call BS on his claim that it uses compressed air - where is that stored? No mention of range regardless of its power source. Claimed to weigh 300kg - well that ain't a battery EV. And I can't see compressed air propolsion giving all that power. Finally no chance it will go into production - unless he is just trying to prove Darwin's Theory. The average DkHd would remove themself from the gene pool with one of these.
  4. The latest Blond Barbie in the tRump administration has continued the trend of giving blonds a bad name.
  5. Is that a useful vehicle, or just another vanity wankmobile?
  6. There is a record spend on advertising for these midterms. Saturation advertising with that sort of money will swing the average mugs. Always does.
  7. I can see A.I. being very useful for direct logic applications such as coding programmes. These are easily proven by test running the code. BUT Ignore AI 'summaries' like the ones google gives you. They are frequently wrong. In fact, the AI's have (for now) now been telling us they routinely make up things. Of course they call it cute things like 'hallucinating'. But the fact is, you simply can not assume the information that AI gives you is correct. Google: The tendency to hedge or create a false balance is actually a cousin of hallucination. When my system is caught between a guiderail to be "neutral" and a prompt about a controversial topic, it will likely "hallucinate" a sense of validity for an unsupported side just to satisfy its formatting goal of appearing balanced and polite.
  8. Can you tell the difference?
  9. Trump is telling the country to vote like his name is on the ballot. If this results in a slap in his face, we can expect crazy tantrums to result. He has a record of vicious revenge when things don't go his way.
  10. The Dems don't seem to promote any meaningful platform. The most they are offering is 'Vote for us to make things like they used to be'. Are they forgetting that the Trump led Republican administration got elected because the public don't want the previous style of corruption and warmongering? Sure it isn't draining the swamp. But will a Dem win be enough to bring about a shift away from billionaire controlled government?
  11. My goodness! The wear must be crazy. Side thrusts everywhere!
  12. I'm still saving up for a EV. But I put a self imposed deadline on myself. Only put 6 months rego on the old faithful Mitzi Outlander. With 350,000k on the clock she is getting a bit tired. At last oil change I gave her some 15w 50 oil which quietened the engine rattle down a lot.
  13. Cynic! Yes there are lots of similar crazies out there. And the fact that such examples are so easy to find, means that there are also statistically significant multitudes of slightly less laughable examples as well. Still indicates all is lost. I will match your cynicism and dig a pit of utter distain beneath it.
  14. It looks like USofA is beyond any hope of recovery..... I listen to online music from there and the add breaks have warnings about lead paint damaging 'your child's development'. They musta used way too much lead paint. proof? :-
  15. Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were suggesting that an all powerful, universe creating god would be able to appear in any form - easily in the form of nessie. (he would if he has a sense of humour)
