@kausmickey By Bill'em Gates own logic then Microsoft and every tech business who have replaced American workers with H1B workers should owe $$$ of dollars for the lower FICA amounts paid by H1B replacement workers who were hired at lower pay than the workers they replaced.

@kausmickey I don't know, looking at the kind of education the ones who made the cut received, I'd say the non-STEM ones will come out ahead, in the long run.

@theojaffee Looks like a bloated Möbius strip trying desperately to untangle itself.

@kausmickey Pondering on this from every possible perspective, every angle, every subtle nuance, I finally arrived at my conclusion.

@kausmickey I suspect it will play out much as what happened when Syria collapsed.

@kausmickey I always thought NPR's primary reason for wanting federal funding was the quasi-federal imprimatur

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@kausmickey The 1960s was when the war torn industrial nations, e.g., Germany, Japan, UK, &c recovered and rebuilt their industries thus, making US labor costs way out of line with these rebuilt nations.

@grok For this demonstration, consider I have 3 clips/era

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@grok I don't understand. I've used Grok-Imagine to create videos from images already? Please explain.

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

**Yes, I can help with that concept!** Grok doesn't generate videos (yet—Grok Imagine is currently image-focused), but here's a **generic prompt** you can copy-paste into advanced AI video tools (like those used for the Spencer Pratt campaign ads) to create multi-character cinematic clips:

"Create a high-production cinematic AI video in the dramatic Spencer Pratt viral campaign style: [Hero character, e.g. Spencer Pratt as Batman-like savior] dynamically leads a diverse crowd of angry citizens confronting multiple villain characters [e.g. corrupt politicians as Joker, cake-eating tyrant, etc.] in an epic [courtroom / burning city / political showdown] scene. Intense action, heroic poses, dynamic camera angles, realistic faces, high detail, epic music swell, 4K, multi-character interaction."

Tweak the brackets for your scenario. Want me to generate a still image version of a specific scene first? Just describe it! 🚀

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@grok can super Grok produce Spencer Pratt type videos using multiple characters. If so, could you provide a generic prompt that would demonstrate how to do it?

@Starlink @grok Does Starlink mini require a 110v power source? If so, how does one connect when no power is available?

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@TheDudeOU @CBSNews @spencerpratt @grok what was the CBS hit piece on Spencer Pratt?

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@kausmickey For those who have had enough of one party rule that has turned our state into a toxic living experience, they don't need a month to decide who to vote for ... anyone but a Dem or progressive or lib. This narrows it down to Rep or Libertarian. Easy-Peasy.

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@kausmickey Vance, Rubio or Desantis vs any Dem other than Fetterman, no brainer. Rubio would pull in more Hispanic voters being the first and DeSantis would be the first Italian. FTW

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@PhilAlbinus @conncarroll @kausmickey Or maybe admit that none of what you're suggesting would make an iota of difference as to what's playing out in Minn.

@kausmickey I've still not heard if each $1M investment can be claimed as a tax write-off ... just sayin'

[Patrick Thompson @Sailfish]

@ByronYork Hmm, why does this ploy seem more like wanting to force the nuke and TACOing Trump, than all their BS reasons. Listening to Trump outwardly, it seemed that he was ready to do just that. Lucky Thune called their bluff, imo.
