By pivoting to humanoid robots and LLMs.

AirStrip One has to play its part in the Oceania military industrial complex.

You can make a very good argument that it was Adam Smith, with Wealth of Nations.

It still accelerates the engine.

On April 20, right ?

Blim the Pixie from AWOL ?

Do you mean as a synonym for ‘recorded’ ? If so, then in my experience they don’t.

The antidote - https://www.dualit.com/products/4-slice-newgen - Dualit Classic: clockwork timer, physical switches, manual pop-up, repairable.

“The bats have left the bell tower,

How fucking old are you people ?
(About the same amount as me, I guess).

Also, if you wait until next time, the safe will cost #600.

70 is a good run

70 must seem impossibly far off to you !

“You wouldn’t steal a handbag. You wouldn’t steal a car. You wouldn’t steal a baby. You wouldn’t shoot a policeman. And then steal his helmet. You wouldn’t go to the toilet in his helmet.

You need to be as precise as your resolution, otherwise the precision is meaningless. I guess you could argue that your resolution is units of half-billion (since some things are measured like that), but the initial value of 0.1B, and your use of 0.5 rather than ‘half’ suggests a resolution of 0.1B.

This is different to the aphorism ‘The difference between a million and a billion is about a billion’, both because of the difference in scale, and the quoted resolution.

It’s exactly 11.4 billion, really.
