Not a slam dunk, but I can confirm that the street markings look American, the license plates appear to me to conform to American sizing and placement, and there is an American flag (amongst a few others) hanging from a pole. Gonna say it’s most likely somewhere in the States.

John Oliver threatened something like that once (but for politicians). Not sure what happened after that, though I have occasionally wondered.

Early evening in the western hemisphere, OP posted a large sum of perfectly native fluency English, so yeah, I’ll assume US or Canada. Can’t have a conversation without making reasonable assumptions. But please, feel free to add to the conversation, where do some of these exceptions exist? Don’t just “um, actually” the conversation, add to it!

You just can’t legally transmit without a license. You can own a ham radio and listen all you want.

Best explanation of salt I’ve ever seen. Thanks!

I want to go to there

I admit, it wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card, either.

Reminds me of this trailer I came across the other day.

Computer chips, simplified, consume inputs of 1s and 0s. Given the correct series, it will add two values, or it will multiply two values, or some other basic function. This seemingly basic functionality, done in very specific order, creates your calculator, Minesweeper, Pac-Man, Linux, World of Warcraft, Excel, and every LLM. It is incredible the number of things you can get a computer to do with just simple inputs and outputs. The only difference between these examples, on a basic, physics level, is the order of 0s and 1s and what the resulting output of 0s and 1s should be. Why should I consider an LLM any more sentient than Windows95? They’re the same creature with different inputs, one of which is specifically designed to simulate human communication, just as Flight Simulator is designed to simulate flight.

I read the headline and had one thought: let me guess, his job?

If this shows to be quite accurate, one must have to wonder what it does to the natural gut biome. I’ll have to contemplate this further. I should go grab my morning Diet Coke to wake my brain up.

… Twenty. Minutes. Later…

Oh. Oh, no.

Me llama Han Solo y quiero jugar videojuegos de Switch2. Además, no me gusta pagar Trumpiffs. Theoretically.

ELI5 smuggling a Switch2 over the Mexico or Canadian border. Not that I would recommend that or anything. For science. And fanfic.
