I used to use the two car method. I was single and carefree, so I had a Corvette and a hot rod El Camino. Perfect for a young shade tree mechanic. Then I was taking a long trip in the El Camino and overheated, cracking the heads. While t

If coding is ever solved, and if software does it, sloppiness probably won’t matter much. Code will become throwaway stuff, like the results of AI prompts. Cook it up, test it for adequacy, and run it. When something comes along that adds

I might be a potential user. I find myself being polite in AI prompts sometimes. I guess it can’t hurt, just more practice at polite interactions. ( The prompt phrasing, not the language. )

No, of course not. Illegal deisenfranchisement is a horrible thing. But we must be sane, please. After all the hysteria about Georgias election integrity measures, a Democrat ( Warnock ) won the senate seat. Federal courts ( under the B

Wow, that is cool. I’m curious about Steve’s banjo. He usually ( but not always ) plays in Scruggs style, which should result in wear on the head down by where the pinky is anchored. But this banjo shows wear up above the strings, where a

After the Georgia ‘disenfranchisement’ Democrats won, proving all the hysteria is just hogwash. Americans of all kinds ( including minorities ) want voter ID and election security. Stop repeating DNC talking points.

How is this supposed to stop development outside of the US? If AI turns evil, it will probably not discriminate on which countries to destroy. So Sanders kneecapping the USA won’t slow China, which could result in global destruction anyway

You wrote: “They ( problems in elections ) do exist. What's interesting is that those are problems created by the same people who are currently trying to disenfranchise people…” Under discussion was the New Jersey ineligible voter pro

I don’t oppose that. What makes you think all Republicans would? I want every single voter to have access to their vote, and I want strict proof that every vote cast was the knowledgeable will of that voter ( and only that voter. I’m thin

Explain how Republicans caused the ineligible votes in New Jersey, please.

I am asserting that errors happened. Invalid votes were cast, thousands more potentially could be cast. Just in one state. What about the rest? Clearly, there is potential for more problem areas. The American public overwhelmingly wants

Sure, fix those problems too. What you are showing is that problems exist. Clearly, work on election integrity is needed. Note that in New Jersey, bipartisan work is being done.

New Jersey had 6600 hundred non citizens get ballots. If you were writing software, would you overlook a problem like that? https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/30/new-jerseys-nonciti...

Rigor is needed. Here’s an article talking about 6000 ineligible voters in New Jersey getting ballots. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/30/new-jerseys-nonciti... Surely you agree this is problematic

The article you’ve provided clearly says Trumps dialogue is not to be taken literally. ( It does say there are other ways the election might be tinkered with, but these are for another discussion. ) I don’t find that article to be particul

A good majority of Americans want voter id. https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/28/politics/video/the-odds-voter... So a party calling for voter id is following the will of the people, while politicians opp

Odd you should pick Favre. How about Elizabeth Warren, who cheated deserving minorities out of benefits, then going on to be fabulously wealthy as a modestly paid public servant? Does she trip your rage trigger as well?
