Of course. But one can hope for insight and help in answering it, no?

But, given that Trump will very likely be as bad or worse, why give him the chance? Just to be able to make the statement?

But considering the alternative to Harris, it doesn't seem as clear as day to me.

 

And I'm being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don't understand it. Can someone please "steelman" that argument for me?

That's not out of the question yet.

I saw one of those at a public library in a small town in Connecticut! I hadn't known they existed till then. Amazing stuff.

It needs warshing.

 

In America (and elsewhere?) we have a tradition of trick-or-treating where on Halloween or the night before kids go around the neighborhood in a costume, knock on doors, and get candy. It's a lot of fun.

But I was well into adulthood before I learned that not all places have kids tell jokes before they get candy. Apparently it's only the city I grew up in that they do that! Not even neighboring cities do it.

 

The station using all AI hosts is an experiment, they say, to "engage" with the "question" of AI. It's not the money, of course.

 

That's more than your mom.

 

I am not a teen.

 

Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? I understand bandwidth limits, but how can home internet get away with giving users all the data they can use, but cell phone providers can't?

 

It's kind of funny, I think, that a plant so closely associated with America is actually not native at all.
