And AI has ALREADY displaced probably tens of thousands of jobs like legal research and basic brief writing, computer coding and other such jobs. And in a short time. This is only the beginning. This is not necessarily a bad thing in the long run. Like the introduction of power looms in 1810 etc.

As you know any real expert realizes that AI, like every previous new technology with broad uses, will mean displacing tons of employees across the economy, particularly white collar jobs. This raises the productivity of the economy and eventually things adjust with new jobs, but the speed can hurt.

I once got a ticket for not having a front license plate in San Francisco. The car didn't have one when I bought it. As I walked to the SF Hall of Justice I went by many parked SF cop cars. About a third had no front plate.

We used to do stuff like this years ago in a Buffalo suburb with cherry bombs (looked like a cherry and stem) and M-80s (silver tube with fuse on the side, more powerful). I have no idea how we got our hands on either, but we were only limited by lack of much money to buy more of them.

Exactly what bodybuilders should wear at bodybuilding competitions. I mean, they are about seeing their bodies - and ideally should be naked.

Rereading and editing before posting would be a good idea, but basically yes. No after posting editing here, but you can copy, delete the coment, and then paste into a new comment and fix it, you know. Takes seconds.

He's really not got much to run on, but he portrays himself (and seems to be) a modern sort of smart and funny guy, clearly not some fundamentalist Muslim in any way. And his best campaign buddy is progressive Jewish NYC Comptroller Brad Lander. And his main rivals are corrupt narcissist bullies.

He's also walking around totally typical outer borough middle class neighborhoods. The 1930s apartment house entrance with the multicolored bricks is perfect. Probably a basic sort of building, but they usually found a way to make them art without spending a lot more, which never happens now.

I didn't know that the mission of the Kennedy Center was providing luxury and glamour.

I'm sorry, but Staten Island is not all of New York City. If she means New York State, Trump lost that too, three times.
