Seriously, I read the first bit and just thought - if people didn't want to accept calls they'll just ignore it or put the phone on silent. Don't overthink basic social interaction!

We just aren't really taught to visualize our weights and measures, it's why newscasters keep saying shit like "8 Olympic swimming pools!" Or "the size of three football fields"

This really isn't an American thing - it's just human, we can't really visualize dimensions accurately unless we have a good reference. Some may measure the Olympic swimming pool in feet others in meters, but the effect is the same.

I'm from a country that has salty relations with China and I think it's good they're embracing EVs. It will push my own country harder to catch up and as long as it's adopted more sustainability than ICE it's good for the planet as a whole.

It's a different post/thread - you can tell from the time lines with the chimp one being made in 2018. However, no idea what the context of that was, and I'm not going to use Xitter to find out.

Cultural differences. Like the Korean ones, Indian bathrooms are generally designed to drain water from the whole floor, but instead of the center, the floor usually slopes down slightly to drain in a corner.

In the ones that do have a wet area - like in higher end hotels, there's usually a glass door as a separator.

Do they deserve that much money?

As long as the employees are paid fair and well for their work, and the company is financially sound, they should.

The problem is almost all of them rake in millions at the cost of employees/customers/business or all.

Later, the same participants were scanned listening to a new story or imagining telling a story and the decoder was used to generate text from brain activity alone. About half the time, the text closely – and sometimes precisely – matched the intended meanings of the original words.

You left out the most important context about "half of the time". Guessing what you're thinking of by just looking at your brain activity with a 50% accuracy is a very very good achievement - it's not pulling it out of a 1 or 0 outcome like you're with your coin flip.

You can pretend that the AI is useless and you're the smartest boy in the class all you want, doesn't negate the accomplishments.

when i have to convert cm to m I move the comma

I feel the real war we need to fight over is whether the decimal point or the decimal comma is the one true decimal separator.
