He's still going to say it was the biggest inauguration crowd of all time, and that it was so big they couldn't even get everyone inside.

I mean, Hitler's personal doctor administered opiates and amphetamines to him daily. Trump has also been suspected of using amphetamines and his habit of projection would seem to support that, given he claimed Biden was on "performance-enhancing drugs." So, yeah I wouldn't worry about that mainline, as we know Hitler wasn't sober and there's a fair chance Trump isn't either.

Born in South Africa to a mother who was born in Canada. If Wikipedia is to be believed, he holds citizenship for South Africa, Canada, and USA.

Vice's headline highly misrepresents the statistic in the body of the article. Body says 41% of employers are looking to use AI to replace [some?] jobs. Doesn't say all jobs under those employers. Even if 41% of employers wanted to replace all the jobs under them, that still doesn't mean 41% of all jobs are getting replaced.

Imagine a world in which there's only 100 companies. The largest 59 companies each employ one thousand people. The smallest 41 companies each employ one person. All of those bottom 41 companies replace all of their employees with AI. The world now has 59,000 employed people, and 41 unemployed individuals. 0.069% of people are then unemployed, not 41%.

No piece can exit the zoo nor move anywhere they can capture an opposing piece. Some knights and bishops can move to an adjacent enclosure, but have no broader freedom.

I'm still among those people. On the rare occasion that I am presented with no option for food other than Chik-Fil-A, I find their food disgusting. I only have two data points - nuggets and hash browns - and both were excessively greasy, bland turds.

My girlfriend's mom gifted her a Hobby Lobby gift card. We regifted it back to her the following year.
