Oh my. I asked again , and this time it was consistent, but consistently wrong, failing to add correctly four numbers. WTF?
Kinda weird that in 2025. Google’s search AI would contradict itself in a short answer to a straightforward question.
Ireland is the best option, unless one likes the Mexican expat retirement enclaves.
Been making a lot of fruit smoothies lately- fruit, ginger, honey, Greek yogurt, milk, and water as needed to thin it out.
Did you build it yourself or buy it already assembled? I built mine, and it was a fun project, but no desire to do it again.
I feel your pain. I'm thinking about replacing my 6yo, self-assembled Linux box. What is yours?

Would be simpler for Musk to buy/take over the Libertarian Party. Ofc, a political party is not literally for sale. But the world's richest could buy enough influence in the party to essentially make it his own. And since his ideas are roughyl Libertarian, it would be a good fit.

Holy shit this graph that went viral was wrong!

Corrected graph from the NYT:
Of course Musk sucks. He's a terrible person.

But I'll note that FDR allied with Stalin to defeat Hitler.

A progressive "alliance" with Musk pushes the analogy too far, but we cheer on his every anti-Trump move, including opposition to MAGA legislation and potentially starting a third party.
Elon Musk continues to warn against the GOP budget bill

RIP Bill Moyers. Getting to write some speeches for him (on money in politics, back in the late 90s) was intimidating as hell. I struggled to match his voice until he said, just write it the way I would say it, then he took my mediocre prose and turned it into poetry.
*tonight’s mayoral primary*
It’s a little odd that most reports about tonight’s NYC mayoral election imply that the results of the RCV can’t be predicted. It’s obvious from polling and cross-endorsements that Mamdani will easily exceed 50%. (If Cuomo runs, November might be another story, but Mamdani has the Dem. nomination.)

remember when the NYT endorsed Cuomo and tried to pretend it didn’t
The bettors seems to think it's all over. #Mamdani winning. #nycmayor. Looking at the raw votes (63% in) it seems like Cuomo would have a hard time.
Bettors breaking for Mamdani this evening #nycmayor
