Wolfram Alpha is just an expert system/1st gen "AI". It's closer to how the original search engines worked which is why it's so much better.

Depending on the situation just roast back. You can also just call someone out for being a dickhead in a crowd.

Just say "Why do you have to be such a dick?" and don't back down, if they keep going, just keep asking the question. If you do that in a crowd, you'll get them to either acknowledge them being a dick or back down.

If the bullying is isolated, start with leaving and trying to get to a crowd so you can pull off step one, or just leaving. If that's not an option and they're being aggressive, pop them with a sucker punch or a kick to the genitals then ask them again.

If you're able to get them to bite on the "Why are you being a dick" approach, just maintain a jovial demeanor and laugh at their responses until they stop. You having that attitude puts them on the backfoot in a social setting because people naturally side with the more calm/laughing person.

Basically turn their bullying into a weakness and take the high road.

I try to be as nice as possible whenever I get through to a call center person, but also didn't tie them up unless they choose to be tied up. Had a ton of actually nice conversations with call center people even when the reason I'm calling is because I got fucked by the company they're answering for.

Probably quite a bit since there's ways to make them like 1TB now.

320 is fine enough for even concert levels. You only need anything else if you're doing serious mastering, and even then...

I just side with the Boomers and Yes Man. Then kill Caesar's Legion and handle NCR case by case.

At least the male pronouns aren't directed at the reader and instead at a fictional male character.

It's only genocide if it comes from the genocide region of Germany, otherwise it's sparkling Ethnic Cleansing.

It's still a cynical lawsuit. The plaintiffs wouldn't have cared how UH got the goods off they were able to. They only care now because they failed to secure the bag.

Ideally lawsuits like this would be preemptive and be filed the second that an anti-consumer/anti-hunan corporate strategy is proposed. As it stands, filing something like this only after blowback is experienced just makes implementing those strategies and acceptable market risk, and not a total non-starter.

30 minutes = 1800 seconds

There are 8.2 Billion people

That means there are about 4.5 million farts per second across the globe. And that's just for humans.

This is the region that produces 100% of the quartz silica used in all electronics.

The region is now gone. There is no immediate way in or out and the primary rail line for export has been evaporated. Not only that, but the workforce and community that worked the mines is underwater.
