IF this is the real storm track (highly uncertain), what it's doing right there is going asea to pick up steam, --- err, water vapor -- before blowing back inland to energetically dump even more water on it's NW edge. Yay.

@BrentSullivan lmfao. That's all true, AND that group is let's say 'well known' to the FBI. Thing I can't figure out is why not all move to Russia. So simple.

@Keysalagain different kinds of cigarette smells. The freshly lit, the smoke filled room, the stale smoke, the full ashtray, the cigar, the pipe, etc

Barron shouldn't have to carry this but here we are.

By now I should just take this up with Rowling but she won't answer my calls.
"International Boxing Association raised new questions while struggling to answer others Monday at a shambolic news conference about the opaque eligibility tests"

@gshevlin that's gonna leave a mark. Waste the court's time, judges love that

Musk sees AGI everywhere because he's ignorant, or he's pulling a con. I didn't think it's both but I'll hear arguments. Haven't seen anything from openAI that suggests they have AGI.
