So far, I am averaging a couple of dollars a day in feedin to the grid. And virtually nil consumption. Might not sound much, but that should add up to at least $700 credit a year. I await in anticipation to see if the new smart meter agrees with the solar inverter logs.

Two guys at the bar. One says: "you won't believe me, but I can bite my right eye. One beer if you loose the bet? " They shake hands or whatever you do in that part of the world to seal a bet and then our guy takes out his right (glass) eye and bites in it. One beer later our guy says "you won't believe me,I but I can bite in my left eye as well." They confirm the bet. Our guy takes out his dentures and bites in his left eye. One beer later our guy says "you won't believe me , but I can piss in your right trouser pocket and you don't get wet". Well, the bet is confirmed, our guy takes out his noodle and pisses in the right pocket of his betting partners trousers. "Fuck, my trousers are all wet!" (giggling) "Sorry, sometimes I lose a bet...."

Yes Nev. But science has little to do with Religiosity. Most religions find factual science a existential threat.

It'll be a weight off your shoulders when the job's finished.

Quote of the day, from Mr Hegseth: "The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in, with testosterone testing on top." I think the clowns have been out for quite a while.....

It's all like the next chapter for the movie 'Idiocracy'

President Trump’s accord on “super intelligence” signed with tech leaders in the White House Tuesday contains a glaring error—“United States” is misspelled. The accord lays out criteria for regulation and safeguards for different artificial intelligence technologies, and was signed by five technology company CEOs along with the president. But under the president’s signature, the text reads “President of the Unites States.” Did they use A.I. to create the document?

Yes, I am this cynical.

I rose beyond the pinnacle of my incompetance, but nobody noticed. Don't worry, S.I. was about to replace you anyway.

Nice collection but nothing really suitable for the new project.

The continual evolution of language is either a sign of laziness, or of inner-vittive thinking. One nue-ism that I like is 'word salad'. It's a bit more polite than the old 'buzzword bingo' that it replaces.

Too late! Already happening.

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm on my seventh decade. Does that make me decadent? (This is the thread for language confusion) Do we change sides for the second quarter, or is that in the second half? English! - she is a silly language.

Well if you listened to the clip I posted above, you will see how A.I. is presently being implemented. Bear in mind that trump got the best A.I. to create his A.I. powered government website. Then, as soon as it gave inconveniently true answers to public questions, the administrators modified the A.I. to respond with answers that were politically modified. Of course greater computing systems COULD be a boon to humanity. But A.I.'s are being created by billionaires who care little about anyone but themselves, and are being facilitated by politicians with similar motives.

And I've had 3/4 century. So far. The mind boggles.
