You know that Titan truck just sounds like they painted an essential Target on everyone's information center.
Need to show ID to use the restroom?! As someone with IBS, this is a war crime.
I cannot believe Krista kept quiet with the AI war company mispronounced by Wendell as Plantir called Palantir. The orb directly to the dark lord. It's likely just a coincidence. https://youtu.be/sghSNjE8ZYI?t=323
All she has to do was roll down the window she could swim out of the car.
The trains are always on time in China. The party said so, and anyone who disagrees… In totally unrelated news, the rate of organ transplants has increased greatly in recent years in China! What a spectacular success!
Sorry Wendell, the robot in Frank and the Robot was voiced by Peter Sarsgaard.
Ryan – Tesla drowning … ~20 year age difference in sisters. More than I thought as well.
I think there are a lot of people that dont realize Boeing is a terriblely evil company when compared to the largest death dealing companies anywhere, and that they are ALSO terrible at planes.
Hey Ms K. If you go single let me know! 😛

That Saudi robbot should have said "hubba hubba hubba" as it did that HAHAHAHAHA
Refrigerators were small and expensive in the forties, fifties and sixties but they were built to last forever and made by Americans in America. I saw a paper sales slip for a 1949 ( I think) Frigidaire and the price was well over $1,000.
I was not aware that there were laws against creating DIY genetically engineered super sheep, can't do jack shit without a loicense these days
Alt title; toss a coin to your boeing
What does the fox say? MOAR GARLIC BREAD PLS!
25:33 as Tim Dillon said recently, the royal family is the original and longest running reality TV show. It’s funny because it’s true.
America needs AI dogs, that can be #HOUSETRAINED
8:47 Cue alex jones talking about how elites using technology to make a breakaway civilization where they merge with machines. AKA alex jones explains evangelion plot
You have my engagement, i am engaged. So very engaged…. at 1.5x speed 😛
CORRECTION: Supposedly, Middle Earth was on Earth, per Tolkien himself. Apparently, it was the Third Age, and now we're in the Seventh or Eighth Age. And it all has some sort of Christian/Catholic undertones. But all of this came out of letters that Tolkien wrote.
I'm glad I've subbed to so many great people before Youtube censored everyone and put them on isolated islands
Regarding the age issue with Mitch Mcconnal's Sister-in-law… you guys are missing the "in-law" part of that relationship. It means either she's the wife of one of Mitch's brothers or the sister of Mitch's wife. Either Mitch's wife is young or his brother married young.
The Toronto Police thing was supposed to be advice against what Toronto PD believes are Home Invasion scenarios. Except no CAR thief is going to kick down the door and tie up/beat up/kill a family over car keys when the signal relay attack on the car doesn't work.
This is BS, because I live in a place where home invasions do happen. And when someone busts down your door FBI style with people at home, it's not about car keys. It's usually Cartel/Mob related, drugs related, or they think you have A LOT of money. Yeah, cars are valuable assets, but not valuable enough on their own to risk death from getting shot by the home owner or PD, nor the higher sentences for home invasion and armed robbery versus just car theft.
I don't blame the pharmacist for shooting the person who broke into the pharmacy and was rummaging around the drugs. Because people on drugs are unpredictable and the human body on drugs is a wonderous thing. They have superhuman strength, will feel no pain, and can function long after they're technically dead.
Had a friend who ran a head shop. (He's since retired and shut down the shop.) I was helping him one day, when someone wanted a specific type of glass pipe. That person was obviously tweaking. I didn't operate the register when I helped out, so I had to wait for my friend to do so. He was busy at the time, so it was a small wait. When he was finished, he took the man's money and sent him out of the shop. Then he told me that for those kinds of people, he didn't care. Just take the money, give them what they want and get them out of his shop. This was coming from someone who was over six foot tall and about one and a half times my mass. This was someone who had a history of "working for unsavory groups and doing jobs involving providing physical pain." When someone like that tells you that they don't want to interact with people who do certain drugs, I don't blame the pharmacist for shooting that guy.
It sucks because the flight was delayed over three metal coins, but you HAVE TO shut down those engines and remove any FOD (Foreign Object Debris) from the engines. Those turbofan jet engines are monstrous blenders, but they're not designed to be a blender. Anything that gets into the engine has a chance of breaking one or more blades somewhere in the engine, and you don't want those blades breaking off and turning the engine into a one-time bomb/flak cannon. Yeah, throwing coins into a jet engine is very bad.
Kristas idea of just leaving the car doors unlocked used to be a good idea 5-10 years ago. But today society is decayed, someone will just sleep and use drugs in an unlocked car.
Coming back to your videos after like 3 years. Gotta say, I prefer the old set but I'm glad you guys are still around. Ryan goat
Regarding the Mammoth question: As long as the DNA is 100% Mammoth, it doesn't matter what the rest of the cell equipment came from. But that 100% mark only qualifies if ALL the DNA comes from the mammoth. If only the cell nucleus is 100% mammoth and the mitochondria is Elephant in origin, I would call that a hybrid and not a true Mammoth.
I'm confused seeing the same bg-picture as last time. Or am I glitching? 😵💫
npc AI's in games… should be a heading to do first in any case.
If AI can absolutely kill jobs of CBI people who don't take their jobs seriously, then consider be onboard.
Why can't someone buy the marketing tracking info for Boeing guy's cell phone? Did he get a call/message, was another person nearby? How about the Pegasus info that was probably being logged? Seems impossible that there's no convincing evidence for or against foul play. Just motive and opportunity.
The victorian finger remover is called a laundry mangle…. And speaking of getting mangled: Did you know that in 1998 the Undertaker threw Mankind 16' off of the top of hell in a cell into the anouncer's table?
Woot!
30:20 Zucchini Recipe tips.
In the US a car isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Without a car, you're not going to find a job, at least not a job that pays a wage high enough for even 1 person to live on. I've been in that situation. I had to walk THREE miles there and THREE miles back for 8 months for a dammed fastfood job. And that still isn't enough to live on; thank god I had 2 roommates to help split the bills, or I'd be homeless by now.
So if someone is trying to take my car, they're trying to take my livelihood and I'm defending myself with force.
"AI Ready" is the new "VR ready"
36:11 Ryan is slightly wrong here. Yes, THC is fat-soluble(lipophillic), but the problem is that the raw plant material contains very little THC. Instead it mostly contains THCA(the acid of THC), which needs to be decarboxylated(removal of a CO² molecule) into THC, typically using heat. THCA is a polar molecule and does not pass the blood-brain barrier.

No wonder China allows the AI to control it HSRN. I mean how could things get any worse. The whole thing is "falling off the rails", anyways. I wouldn't ride it….maybe this is their way out….blame it on the AI ! Your comment on the subject really says you need to move out'a your mothers basement ! The whole thing is just garbage and falling apart !
Funny thing, They sent 'Devin' to try to make a job posting on Reddit with the goal of developing a website for someone without them knowing it was an AI Agent but it couldn't manage to get the reddit post right and everybody immediately sussed out that it was a bot lol.
"Arm your citizenry" Dear God. Its already bad enough that we have a massive open border with gun-crazy USA.
As someone who loves foxes, the fox article is so freaking cute I love it
The most powerful pre-AI PC worth mega bucks: i9 10900K / TITAN XP worth $25,000 in 2040
Alot of the time police are taking wet marijuana and bagging it up, it then it goes mouldy.
Just a temporary resting spot on the helicopter, bees would've left by themselves eventually. They are not aggressive at all when in a swarm cluster like this, just tired. I could sort this swarm out without any protective gear, all i would need is a cardboard box.
Khajit has wares, if you have coin.
Keeping Gemini out of election Queries does two things very effectively. 1)Not teaching it the "Art of dirty tricks", and 2) keeping users uninformed about result legitimacy. And Palantirs TITAN will struggle to AI anything, if Russia continues to obliterate electrical power plants directly. These Starlink dishes still need to be plugged in somewhere. right?
Have a good weekend. good links this week. Some interesting things for sure. Would love Wendall's take on the new WUBUNTU Linux thing that has been making its rounds
