Found the AI ?

A dash that is twice as long as a regular dash.

It's an odd character that doesn't exist on any keyboard but AI uses it everywhere.

The only time you likely encountered it outside AI is in Microsoft Word. Word replaces 2 dashes (-) with an Em—Dash.

Woops. Should've stuck to what I know.

I only heard the first two names myself.

And there will be no more after we stop testing, purge the information.

Welcome to the new America.

This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.

It still happens today.

I just had a baby. You've no idea how many times we were told "Good/Great Job Mom" after hearing the baby is healthy, and seeing it isn't deformed.

As if an illness would be my wife's fault.

We just left those on read. Like WTF?

Every single medication that someone takes goes back into the supply via their waste, and is then fed back out to everyone else like a chemical stew.

You are correct - if it ain't tested for - we have no reason to specifically filter for it.

I am just glad I live far enough away on a well to be unaffected. Glad your map reflects that.

???

They could literally just request the government buy more Tylenol for the military industrial complex.

They could just hand it to them for research.

They could put out an ad on the white house lawn like they did for Goya, and Tesla.

Again, they could literally just hand it to them. Do you have any idea how many billions of our dollars go "missing". Spent but unaccountable.

There are so many other ways to just hand Tylenol money than disparage their product on a global scale.

Sometimes a moron is just a moron...

It's not even a good pain reliever.

I don't know why it's so popular.

Ibuprofen/Motrin works about 100x better.

Really??

You don't think it has already begun?

Any company that does that likely uses a company vehicle as company property and demands you live in the specific area.

My old employer did that for our field technicians. You were paid from the second you left your home until you got back. If you had to stay overnight - then they paid for that too.

We hired people all over the US but we only hired people in centralized areas key to our customers. You were NOT allowed to change your home address more than 20 miles without sufficient approval. It would be grounds for termination.

My coworker lived in Alabama, and got some girl pregnant when they had him working in Philadelphia on an all-hands type of emergency . He decided to move to Philly to raise the child. You've no idea the amount of bureaucratic headache it took to stay employed.

Serious question: Have you ever built a PC?

Because it really isn't rocket appliances. I would venture your average 12 year old could do it, and has done it given a YouTube tutorial.

All of the connectors only fit one way, and they are all uniquely shaped/sized.

More expensive, Proprietary hardware, sounds like a nightmare for all involved.
