What is this? It germinated in a pot beside a couple of peppers & I let it grow out of curiosity. But I still have no clue about it

Did you know that a cybertruck does 10 to 20 times as much damage to roads as does a passenger vehicle? 5 times as much as a mid-sized SUV Damage relates to the 4th power of axel road weight, and cybertrucks weigh near 7,000 pounds depending on the trim.

I don't even care about the full release of the Epstein files - what we really want are pedos in prison. The files will just give us more leverage to demand it. Screw that. We demand: Prosecute them NOW, and for those holding it back, prosecute them also.

Thoma Massey was on the right side of the Epstein issue. But he was still a Trump supporting Republican bent on stealing our retirement, ending health care, handing our earnings to the wealthy and eradicating even our weak protections from federal agencies. Don't waste any sympathy on him.

While Trump's performance as a criminal has NOT been presidential, at least his performance as a President has been criminal.

Sand batteries: almost 100% efficient in storing heat and holds it for weeks with low loss. Pipe it to local residents for heating. It's not great for converting back to electricity, but why do we not use this simple, clean technology for what it does do well?

Trump would have little power, little influence were it not for the oligarchs propping him up. Techbros, media billionaires, Russian intelligence, Oil barons. So he's a minor part of the problem. If we're going to solve anything, we have to knock the oligarchs down.

It would be funny if about a million random people applied for their cut of the J6 insurrection settlement. How will they deny you? You didn't defecate on a desk or try to lynch anyone so you don't get anything?

There is a seed of thought taking root in America. People are waking to the fact that our Supreme Court has little positive impact for the people of the nation. While issuing decision after decision corrosive to our rights and well-being.

A former VP is telling us to just show up and vote, and we'll get results. Don't believe her for a second. We did show up, we voted, we gave a Dem President a Dem Congress. We did not get results. Just vote may be enough for THEM, but WE have to hold them accountable starting from day 1.

James Comey helped knock out two legs of our system of checks and balances, but he believes that the Judiciary still remains and will save him. No, Mr Comey. You worked for this, now you own it. What an ass. Comey is an easy sacrifice for the courts because most people feel like he deserves it.

If it is impossible to elect a decent, honest person to the Presidency, and if a decent, honest person cannot be an effective President, then our political system is corrupt. The only feasible solution is to change the system.

Can anyone tell me what this modern Supreme Court has done for the people of this country? Would our government run worse if they didn't exist?

Honestly I don't know, but I do know whoever managed to make coffee into a manufacturer locked subscription service should be given a special award for genius and then jailed for life.

In fact, an AI could analyze my entire contribution to social media and accurately predict who I'll vote for and why. So why not let it vote? Do the same for everyone. Would it not eliminate election fraud and related shenanigans?

Anyone whose posts use "who's" instead of "whose", if they do it consistently, is instantly muted. I can deal with mistakes and typos but that's just too grating.

Imagine someone who's rented their entire life reading this. Their premiums and medical are far too much to even consider buying a house. Why is this family so much more deserving that it's a tragedy, but to them it's fck you get back to work and rent an Apt so your taxes can pay for their lifestyle

Raise your hand if you'd support treason charges against Trump.

I think that Trump idolized the character J.R. Ewing from the show Dallas and he strives to emulate him. A dumber cartoon version of JR, but Trump wouldn't know that.

Why do the Chat AI's source their knowledge from the Internet where it suffers from bias, groupthink and general mediocrity rather than the scientific, technical and academic literature which is readily available? It can't be merely dollars and cents given the total cost is $35-$60 Billion.

In addition to this excellent point, every question we as Grok consumes a significant amount of power and water from the people of Tennessee. Each question degrades their local ecology in some incremental degree.

Can someone give me an objective, factual reason why every resident shouldn't be able to vote in local elections? That doesn't involve existing laws and statutes.

The biggest problem with AI in my opinion: it's being driven by a race to the bottom of marketing schemes, sales intelligence, and the last level of mediocrity of product support. We'll pay the hidden costs of data centers just to pay more for stuff we don't need, with no intelligent services.

This whole Trump Phone imbroglio is kind of funny. Not just that MAGA are paying $500 for a $170 Chinese phone, and laid out a $100 deposit for basically nothing. Or that no one is actually getting a phone until the deposit scam has been milked completely.

I'm with Ted Lieu on this one. The Epstein files show that Donald Trump raped children and threatened to kill them and and their families. He's welcome to add me to his lawsuit, if he ever has the guts to file one.

I'm looking forward to voting in the midterms. The ONE moment that we can tell the aholes to stuff it and it actually mean something. But buckle up. I've got the feeling of a LOT of false flag attacks, like in Georgia 2024 but multiplied 100-fold. Be ready because our resolve is going to be tested

Trump floats the idea of deploying troops to the polls. It's likely just another Trump fantasy but let's make it clear to military personnel that it is a crime, that Americans will despise every soldier and officer involved, and that they WILL be held accountable.

I'm sure that China's President Xi is very encouraging about Trump's war in Iran. Since our economy is getting pummeled and Iran is teaching the world how to defeat us! www.cfr.org/articles/wha...

Sure, there'll be celebrations across the world on the day that Trump passes. But I think that will be minor compared to the groundswell of voices, of those finally feeling safe to express how they really feel about the man and his minions.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom

Do these people even read the articles they post? Or is "for self defense only" too subtle a distinction for them?

It is self evident that the love of money in politics is the root of all evil in politics. So why do we allow so much money to enter into the political process?

Do you think the hamasholes are going to be over blaming Dem candidates for Trump & Bibi by the midterms? I kind of doubt it. They don't seem to care about what happens to _this_ country nor the people in it?

UPS guy walking by wanted gardening tips for a pepper garden. What can I say when I'm not really a gardener, without seeming to keep secrets? I just gave him a watering schedule and said the plants do the rest.

If the SCOTUS political situation was reversed, the Republicans would simply set up a new court of right-wing hacks, call it the Supreme Constitutional Court, and follow its rulings instead of the Supreme Court

Question. Remember the "Ugly American" stereotype? From around 1960 on so probably not... but anyway do you think modern MAGA is a resurgence of the ugly American? Maybe actual descendants inheriting the flawed character and cultural ignorance?

Stock market investors are so gullible. Selling off on a rumor of a potential deal, when the market manipulation should be obvious.

I was going to suggest a practice green instead of a billion dollar ballroom, but I see now that Trump would never go for it. Why practice if you can never sink a put and always cheat anyway?

Hey restaurant owners, are you requiring IDs now that the AG said you have to? What are your customers saying about that?

Trump Derangement Syndrome? Personally I'm happy when people use that because it's shorthand for "I'm a moron" so I don't need to waste any time on them or their opinions.

From the racist thug in an ICE uniform to the robed Supreme Court Justice, NO ONE should be immune to the law. As long as even one official may act against us with impunity, our freedoms and rights are illusions.

BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices. The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices.

One thing the past year has proven is that our system of government cannot be trusted. Not internationally, not domestically, not to safeguard rights nor to uphold the law. The question we face is, what do we do about it?

I can solve this whole issue with one simple change, and we wouldn't have to hear this kind of moronic bullshit. Anyone who shows up can vote, period. Get caught voting twice or fraudulently, go to jail. It really can be as simple as that.

Rare six-bloom Amaryllis. It's the first one I've ever grown anyway.

How much of the out of control Israeli state is due to rabid leaders, and how much of it the citizens? The vitriolic and irrational reaction of some modern Pharisees to the biblical use of the word "Pharisee" has left me wondering. Are hateful citizens driving the genocide?

A former Representative is convicted of being an agent of a foreign nation. I guess it's too obvious to mention in the DOJ press release that he's a Republican. www.justice.gov/usao-sdfl/pr...

Is there anything that our Supreme Court does, that they SHOULD be doing, that couldn't be handled by the US Courts of Appeals? I'm beginning to think we'd be better off without a Supreme Court at all.

The Supreme Court just effectively legalized any sort of Gerrymandering Democratic States should take advantage. Wedge all but 1 district into the most Democratic area of the state, and the last would be the rest of the state. Winner take all.

First abortion rights, now voting rights. This right-wing activist Supreme Court is just getting started on our rights. You know what's next on the chopping block? Freedom of speech. Freedom of travel. Women's rights to vote. Rights of redress. It's all coming down.
