Thanks for that. It's funny because (at least, subconciously) we suspect it could be true. Elon and Zuck have strange mannerisms and speech too, to further add to their alien-like weirdness. lol Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if there are aliens with perfect cloaking tech, studying us, and tweaking the DNA of some individuals. Knowledge is power, so why wouldn't an alien race secretly cultivate civilizations like ours in order to study and copy any novel ideas & technologies we come up with. Or we're the first spacefaring civilization in the galaxy, but how likely is that really given the vast size of the galaxy and its age (13+ billion y/o)..

Heh, I sent that one to my wife... Apparently, male domestication is pretty much universal in marriages. When I've visited my older brother's home and, watching tv at night and his wife goes to bed early, he has to set the living room TV volume very low with closed captioning/subtitles on. My ex-gf (who was Vietnamese) confirmed the same about her older brother's marriage, joking about how her nephew observed that mommy is the boss (over daddy). There's the same female dominance in marriages - east or west. lol

How you get to that from one joking sentence of mine baffles me... Maybe because different people's wives expecting quiet when they sleep is a common theme? Also, if there were no truth to the meme, would it be funny..

Only white people can be racist, so only if you're white.

Suzuki discontinued selling their cars in the 'states over a decade ago and, even back then, they had a tiny slice of the US auto market. www.caranddriver.com/news/a18743309/suzuki-ends-u-s-car-sales-why-it-had-to-do-it/I considered buying a Suzuki Swift in the 90's because it had a good reliability rating in Consumer Reports. I was influenced to buy American (a Pontiac Sunfire) by my father. Of course, it was junk and needed multiple repairs (in and out) of warranty. But it was only $12k to purchase and very easy to work on (spark plugs easily accessible, water pump easy to change out, etc) saving some money on repairs, so not a huge loss. I traded it in (after 9 years of ownership) because there was a gas line running underneath the chassis that developed a leak and the engine was making knocking/rattling sounds (difficult to describe). Obvious piss poor engineering by putting a gas line underneath the chassis, without shielding, and exposed to debris/rocks while driving.

ROFL, that's great...
One remark though, you wouldn't put entire paprikas or onions (garlic?) in soup...

Obvious, yes.. but a ton of information is lost (on AI) because of it. It won't be until mass adoption of robots as consumer devices in peoples' homes that AI learns nearly everything about us and the actual world outside the interwebs. Separate point and to avoid confusion, on our side of the pond, paprika is a dry spice. This.. I'm guessing you were referring to the pepper which you call "paprika" (since you preceded it with "entire"), but we call "red bell pepper" in the states.
