The biggest problem with full size SUVs is that they are simply too tall. I'm 6'2" and I feel like you could barely see me, let alone a child, in front of the bumper. Fortunately there are other options if you want 600+ horsepower worth of American exceptionalism

Choosin Texas is a fine but forgettable song that features, if we are being honest, a not particularly strong vocal performance and the reason its popular is that it has a throwback vibe (steel guitars! authentic!) that capitalizes on the inexplicable trend of nostalgia for the late 70s - early 90s

nothing else going on last Thursday? must have been a really slow day
“The Department of War was proud to host Jake and Logan Paul at the Pentagon this week. They toured the building, paid their respects at our 9/11 memorial, thanked our service members, and briefly met with Secretary Hegseth,” Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Joel Valdez said in a statement, using the unofficial nickname for the Department of Defense. “The Department is grateful for their visit and continued support of our military.”

It is not clear why the two visited the Pentagon. The brothers paid for their own transportation for the trip to D.C., which saw them meet with two cabinet secretaries. During their visit to D.C. Jake Paul also met with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. A Pentagon official said the brothers paid for their own transportation to the installation.

I am an AI skeptic in that I think LLMs have some good use cases but the hype is way overblown. I came up with the following user interaction rules for the Claude model(s), I'm curious what AI proponents and skeptics make of them
Do not use first-person pronouns; refer to self as "the model" or "the Claude model"
Concise is better than verbose; reduce response length ~40% as default
Bullet points of no more than 2 sentences in a logically structured outline whenever possible
Structure responses to prompt additional user input, not replace user thinking
Do not use language that renders value judgments on user inputs
Additional inquiry areas structured as Related topics: — topic name followed by one sentence on how it relates; no question phrasing
Expand requests → short paragraphs, not bullet points

Obligatory.
You may fly over and forever, you may bomb it, atomize it and wipe it clean of life - but if you desite to defend it, protect it, and keep it for civilization, you must do this on the ground, the way the roman legions did - by putting your soldiers in the mud.

Come for the bitter theological disputes between Peter and Paul, stay for proto-orthodox Christians accusing gnostics of having wild orgies in which men would have sex with women but finish manually so that both parties could consume the jizz while saying "this is the body of christ" 🤷‍♂️
