Why is there an Interstate highway in Hawaii?

Why is a "fat chance" the same thing as a "slim chance" ?

What happened to WD-1 through -39?

Do dyslexic atheists lay awake at night wondering if there's a Dog?
And do dyslexic priests lay awake wondering why Dog won't answer their prayers.

I have to deal with political cronies and wannabe political cronies all day long for the next few weeks. I'm bringing a flamethrower with me to deal with them. Mainly because the last time this happened I brought nerve gas and suddenly I was the bad guy.

Apropos of the day and this article in my morning readings. Came up in a Silicon Investor Qualcomm Thread about AI,
"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficient... The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding."

-- Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
“China, for example, combines data and the use of AI to rate the loyalty of its citizens to the state and uses these ratings to determine jobs and more. . .

First unveiled a decade ago, China aims to roll out a nationwide social credit system by 2020 that aims to reward trustworthy individuals but put perceived miscreants on a blacklist. By giving each citizen a credit score based on a range of behaviors such as abiding by traffic laws and paying fines, the government aims to “create an honest and faithful society”. As part of the plan, which has been introduced in several cities, China’s top court maintains an online blacklist of people who are unable to pay their debts. People on the list are barred from taking flights, trains or making big purchases.

It is good to make full use of your potential, unless it voltage potential from your body to ground.

If a chicken-and-a-half lays an egg-and-a-half in a day-in-a-half, how many pancakes does it take to shingle the roof of a dog house?

Do not interfere in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will crap in your shoes.
