Millions of people own me. Some own lots of me and use me regularly.
I am very dangerous in the wrong hands.
I am used to kill 178,000 Americans per year.
I also kill 4,000 children per year.
13,000 people per year die because I am intentionally misused against them.
Many more die per year by using me to kill themselves.
I used to be banned, but people got around the ban, and it eventually was lifted.
I am alcohol. Picture unrelated.
@cb_doge It’s just usage and of course it’s going to be popular since it was just released, is free, and everyone wants to try it. I care more about actual professional results. And I just haven’t seen it provide better results than Claude. I really WANT it to. I just doesn’t.
I have to agree with you. I’ve been a huge Grok fan but it just isn’t in the same league as Claude when it comes to actual coding. I don’t care if a model can solve some obscure problem better than another. I care if it can actually write usable code and understand my context without locking up after a short session like Grok Heavy does for me all the time. A wasted 3k that I won’t renew unless it vastly improves.
@cringelemon @kaptainfreedom I have an SOT and the pre86 comment is correct. The only way it can be done is if you have the proper license to mfg them and a signed deal with a law enforcement agency to provide said product.
@cringelemon @ISD_Actual Not incorrect. It’s a felony. I’m an FFL and can assure you possession of parts like this will earn you a free trip to federal prison for a very
Long time.
A State Department of Fish and Wildlife sends a letter to a home/landowner asking for permission to access a creek on his property to document the decline in a certain species of unheard of frogs.
The property owners' response in the second letter is EPIC.
Letter from Dept. Of Fish & Wildlife:
Dear Landowner:
WDFWR Staff will be conducting surveys for foothill yellow-legged frogs & other amphibians over the next few months. As part of this research we would like to survey the creek on your property. I am writing this letter to request your permission to access your property.
*****************************
RESPONSE FROM LANDOWNERS:
Dear Mr. Nemel:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding accessing our property to survey for the yellow-legged frog. We may be able to help you out with this matter.
We have divided our 2.26 acres into 75 equal survey units with a draw tag for each unit. Application fees are only $8.00 per unit after you purchase the "Frog Survey License" ($120.00 resident / $180.00 Non-Resident). You will also need to obtain a "Frog Habitat" parking permit ($10.00 per vehicle).
You will also need an "Invasive Species" stamp ($15.00 for the first vehicle and $5.00 for each add'l vehicle) You will also want to register at the Check Station to have your vehicle inspected for Non-native plant life prior to entering our property. There is also a Day Use fee, $5.00 per vehicle.
If you are successful in the Draw you will be notified two weeks in advance so you can make necessary plans and purchase your "Creek Habitat" stamp. ($18.00 Resident / $140.00 Non-Resident).
Survey units open between 8 am. And 3 PM. But you cannot commence survey until 9 am. And must cease all survey activity by 1 PM.
Survey Gear can only include a net with a 2" diameter made of 100% organic cotton netting with no longer than an 18 in handle, non-weighted and no deeper than 6' from net frame to bottom of net. Handles can only be made of BPA-free plastics or wooden handles.
After 1 PM. You can use a net with a 3" diameter if you purchase the "Frog Net Endorsement" ($75.00 Resident / $250 Non-Resident).
Any frogs captured that are released will need to be released with an approved release device back into the environment unharmed.
As of June 1, we are offering draw tags for our "Premium Survey" units and application is again only $8.00 per application.
However, all fees can be waived if you can verify "Native Indian Tribal rights and status".
You will also need to provide evidence of successful completion of "Frog Surveys" and your "Comprehensive Course on Frog Identification, Safe Handling Practices, and Self-Defense Strategies for Frog Attacks."
This course is offered on-line through an accredited program for a nominal fee of $750.00.
Please let us know if we can be of assistance to you. Otherwise, we decline your access to our property but appreciate your inquiry.
“Let’s Go Brandon!”
Sincerely,
The American Citizens!
@OfficialEmmaKok I’m so sorry! You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Take care and rest. You’ve earned it after a great summer of concerts! I so wish my family could have attended one in person. Best wishes!
Yikes, you sound really bitter. Not sure why. I think Elon has done more for America that most Americans. He’s not perfect but none of us are. Nor is Trump, but both have what’s best for America as their goal. People don’t always agree, and that’s ok. The liberals would have us believe any dissent must be silenced. Don’t fall for that trap. Open discussion is critical to move us forward.
