Grams are a measure of mass or weight. I assume we're talking about measuring this flour here on planet earth, within the effects of its gravitational field lol

184 grams is a touch high for "a cup of flour", but I'm not gonna check your math, and the comic probably wanted to use "close enough" round-ish numbers. The weight of a cup of flour is usually somewhere between 120g and 145g, going by the conversions used by major baking recipe publishers like King Arthur, Cooks Illustrated, Washington Post, New York Times, etc.

They know who plays their games and more importantly who buys their games.

Is this not a bit of a "chicken and egg" argument though? Adults have pretty much always been the ones buying games, but they haven't always been making them for adults. Even if kids are less than a quarter of all gamers, they're still a sizeable chunk of the audience. Doesn't really make sense to just ignore them.

Sir this is a cute cat pic meme

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's actually pretty wholesome, would recommend

Hey why do you think they call it "grave" danger

A scheme like this is hard to replicate because, in addition to money, it needs a core team with a clear vision and the time to really make it a focus of their lives.

Sounds like an opportunity for the local government, and a way to create local jobs.

The anger isn't (necessarily) for the rich person who housed people. It's for the system who left people homeless in the first place, the system that will put those people back on the streets if they don't pay rent/property taxes/whatever other fee people have to pay to exist, the system where the solution is literally just "have rich people pay their share and almost everything will be fixed" but for some reason the people in charge can't (or don't want to) figure that out.

You conflating anger with the system with anger for people getting houses is disingenuous.

No, they're run by ancient douche bags that are constantly finding loopholes in the current laws that allow (if not encourage) them to make bigger vehicles.

If they were desperately trying to hold onto the past, the new Ford Ranger reboot wouldn't be nearly the same size as an F-150.

Uh, it's not a lizard with a fungal infection, it's clearly a frog/plant symbiote. Gosh

Crazy thought - instead of just putting trees near curbs, have dedicated green spaces in cities where there aren't sidewalks or other important infrastructure near the trees.

You can remark on how that orange is closer to red, and how that one is closer to yellow though

Public fountain? I think you mean community bidet

Your diarrhea can read? Aww

These sentences:

Average weekly earnings went up from $1016 to $1236, a 21.6% increase. That's come up short on the 23.4% inflation in that time period.

answer the implicit question in this sentence:

People can complain about how the economy isn't working for regular people, but the last 5 years were actually a pretty good run for wage earners.

It wasn't really a good run. Wages didn't keep up with inflation. Even though wages are higher, the buying power with those wages is less.

Some of the new Krogers have full service bars inside them, so you can sip on a pint in Kroger

Right, sure. At which point, pointing out that "double jeopardy doesn't apply" is kind of just needless pedantry.

You know, I thought that too at one point, but if the defendant's lawyer is trying to use double jeopardy to get this incredibly high profile, publicly scrutinized case thrown out, we should just sit down, shut up, and listen to the professionals

Yeah I find LLMs most useful to basically read the docs for me and provide it's own sample/pseudocode. If it goes off the rails, I have to guide it back myself using natural language. Even then though it's still just a tool that gets me going in the right direction, or helps me consider alternative solutions buried in the docs that I might have skimmed over. Rarely does it produce code that I can actually use in my project.

Not that I think you're wrong, but having him wear a bulletproof vest, handcuffs, and shackles on his ankles any time he's transported/shown off in public is gonna make that story real hard to buy
