Not signing anything while congress is in session means it becomes law within ten non-sunday days.

Not that I would ever expect him to know that.

That said, I also wouldn't mind if he vetoed every partisan line bill coming out of this congress, either.

Does anyone have an actual answer to the question? I have someone I'm trying to convert to Grapheneos but who is also trying to run a business, making a simple "block unknown callers" not very tenable.

Sure they did. They even had a notation on the results table that grok passed expect when reasoning mode was off.

ETA: they even posted all the reasoning texts for the models they tested

I can't name one, frankly, but they exist. I had been getting the store brand for going on 20 years now because it's been around that long that store brand has been better than name brand.

I don't buy often, just when I'm hankering for chicken a l'orange.

I'm thrilled to hear it was a success.

I am equally thrilled to hear that they will be paying taxes on its success instead of getting a credit from its failure.

That's happening, right? /s

It's a mockery account. Libs of TikTok, people of Walmart, etc.

Not at all. And it's a little cheaper than my state ID (which is not a driver's license, just an ID) and lasts considerably longer (10 years like a normal passport instead of 2 for the state ID).

Its great value, if you don't already need a license and don't plan on doing any air travel.

That's because it's a passport card. Cards are only useful for crossing into Canada or Mexico, or for some carribian islands.

More importantly, it's not valid to use for entry via airplane anywhere, even if it's one of the above. So basically most useful for people that commute between regularly or are going on cruises. Or in this case as proof of citizenship.

Full passports are $130 USD. I renewed both in November.

Apart from that, if "useless" people truly didn't have a purpose, then why did nature make them in the first place?

This won't work on this sort of person. Failure is a personal choice in their narrow world view.

I'm of the general opinion that learning new things is never a bad idea, but let's break down your sub question regarding usefulness.

At the very least a basic understanding is certainly useful. I make a point to at least learn alphabets and their sounds so I have a fighting chance putting what I hear into a translation engine. Similarly, Russian isn't the only language that uses Cyrillic.

Paet that though? In my lifetime it was first unthinkable that I could ever visit Russia, then became possible and even a tourist destination (see: Trans-Siberian rail), and back to basically unthinkable to me.

It'll most likely swing again.

Red, orange, yellow and green are all the same varient, but at different ripenesses. The others are different varients.

Mostly just a novelty. Throw in a bit more colour, if available.
