Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says Carrying Hay Killed His Truck’s Air Suspension, Now His Cybertruck is Slowly Sinking into the Ground | Torque News

A fault in the Cybertruck’s bed design allows debris to easily get trapped in the under-bed compartment. If moving hay, it blocks the air compressor intake, causing it to overheat. This affects the air suspension, which causes the truck to sink lopsided.

They found yet another design flaw of the cybertruck. Must be a day ending in "Y."

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

so many of the "i only use chat gpt for ___" excuses are concerning because people use it in place of learning basic, valuable skills.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

whatever you "only" use chatgpt for i promise there are better websites out there that you don't have to worry will produce complete bullshit???? and destroy the environment???

actuallyvady

Hey, look! A study showing that people who use chatgpt to study do worse on exams!

Seriously: you are not helping yourself.

my friend is a college professor and has reliably called a paper as being ai written before running it through the detection software. Because they fucking suck.

fixyourwritinghabits

On the hiring committees I've been on, we automatically discard anything that seems like it was written by ChatGPT. Emails that sound like AI get deleted as spam. Students get dinged right out the gate for using ChatGPT to write their intro discussion posts.

I know it's tempting to use it. I know everyone and their mom is telling you it's this great tool (pssst because they're trying to sell you something). But you're not doing yourself any favors every time you use it as a short-cut to do something important. It's not going to get you that job, it's not going to get you through college, and it's really not going to do you any favors if you're using it to replace an actual skill you should learn.

Sinwar using his remaining arm to hurl wreckage at an IDF drone while IDF soldiers are protesting over how scared they are to fight modern soldiers who can shoot back. It's certainly saying something.

the idea of protists is really funny. Ah yes, the kingdoms of life: Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Don't worry about it:)

man-cave-chronicles-stan

i just started taking my first botany course and politely op what the fuck is this supposed to mean

headspace-hotel

Well

...

All creatures with cells that have the fancy stuff like nucleus and mitochondria are Eukaryotes. That picture is from the Wikipedia page for Eukaryotes.

Long ago there was just the Bacteria and Archaea. Then something weird happened and an Archaean ate a bacterium but the bacterium was not consumed, instead they became friends. By "friends" I mean "permanently merged together into an entirely new kind of life form that can do all kinds of fancy stuff with its cells." This life form is your ancestor and the ancestor of all Eukaryotes.

One of those new, fancy life forms ate a cyanobacteria and made it into chloroplasts. This created the plants.

A few others decided to go multicellular and form tubes out of cells that could wriggle around, and they became animals.

A few decided to also go multicellular and team up into big networks of interconnected thread-like tendrils, and they became fungi.

But most of them just kind of went off and did their own thing, going about their single-celled business, evolving into all kinds of weird stuff without doing anything multicellular. And all of those guys got called protists. Every eukaryote that didn't become multicellular is a protist.

The guys that went multicellular are just a few weirdos in these random corners of the tree of life, but they get all the attention cause we multicellular organisms are kind of self-absorbed (and we had to do some strange things to sand to turn it into lenses to see the single-celled organisms).

If each of those multicellular clades counts as a "kingdom," how many kingdoms do the single-celled guys make? Good luck with that one. We keep finding more of them.

Every time we look at some more pond water, the taxonomists collapse into sobbing again. There are too many ways to be a little guy. Every time there's a cilium or a flagellum somewhere it's not supposed to be, or there's something suspicious going on with microtubules or zoospores or helical structures something, or god forbid two guys get freaky and do another endosymbiosis again, they have to rewrite everything and there's at least two fistfights and one brawl.

Protists: Just don't worry about it.

Also I lied and there are plenty of eukaryotes that are multicellular and not animals, plants, or fungi, such as giant kelp

However those get called protists half the time too because with kelp, it's easier than trying to explain what the fuck it is if it isn't a plant, and with everything else, talking about it just starts an argument about what counts as a "cell" and what counts as "multi" for that matter and nothing good comes of it.

drafty-castle

Wait wait wait. Hope do you argue what counts as multi. Anything larger than one, right? Anything larger than one?

headspace-hotel

Well

Xenophyopores found a cool hack to be unicellular but still get 20 centimeters long—they just have lots and lots of nuclei in their single cell.

They look like this. Of course it is in the ocean where all kinds of freaks are.

Behold, a single celled organism

Maybe it is cheating though.

Don't worry, though, the squiggly thing isn't really its body, it's more of a shell they secrete. Yes, you see they take in minerals from their surroundings, like for example, uh...

...Okay, maybe worry a little bit.

headspace-hotel

wikipedia article btw

They really like radioactive isotopes and collect radioactive materials in their bodies at high concentrations.

But this is exactly what i'm talking about, these guys are totally different from plants, animals, or fungi, just like they're totally different from kelp and amoebas, they are Their Own Thing.

@ayoungparent Well apparently slime molds are a polyphyletic group (a bunch of unrelated organisms that happened to look similar).

The Myxomycetes are the ones known as plasmodial slime molds and basically they form spores which hatch into single-celled haploid guys (basically like sperm or egg in humans) and when the spores meet each other they become a diploid cell with more and more and more nuclei until they can be one cell several meters in area and several kilograms in weight. Despite being one cell technically and having no brain, they can learn and have some form of intelligence. They are good at designing the most efficient railroad system.

The big green ball I assume you refer to is Valonia ventricosa. It has some complicated structures inside and lots of nuclei to make it work, but it is just one really big cell.

Yeah. It does mitosis and everything like a regular cell.

This guy is actually much closer related to regular plants than kelp or anything else we've discussed.

discord server youre trying to be more active in would benefit from a wiki describing the most active members and major server events and injokes and such. unforchies this is insanely autistic thinking
