  • There is actually a lot being done about it, just not enough.

  • AI that’s smarter than humans? Americans say a firm “no thank you.”
  • We're still waiting on cold fusion and all the graphene miracles. I think AGI is a lonnnng (millenia) way off. Most of these companies say this stuff to get funding, but they know what they call AI is just a very complex parrot. And not the intelligent parts, just the mimicking ones. Nowhere close to AGI.

  • What are some of your favorite smaller Sci-Fi Horror/psychological thriller stories/films?
  • For films, Under The Skin (2013 indie film directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring Scarlett Johanson in a pretty low-key role for the most part) is fantastic. More on the horror end, but has strong scifi elements. Amazingly crafted film, nothing really gory at all, the horror is all psychological, but it has such disturbing moments that stick in your head (unwanted) for years. I've watched it 3 times though, so that may be part of the problem.

  • What's a good way to break the ice with your doctor right before a colonoscopy?
  • It was both a joke and my real life. I hope I have a similar experience. I'm a virgin after all... for this anyway.

  • What's a good way to break the ice with your doctor right before a colonoscopy?
  • They'd probably cancel the appointment if I said that, not gonna wait another 3 months to try to book my favorite activity.

  • The genders will be the other way around, but I like the cut of your jib.

  • Is it possible to eat in such a way that you'll never have to fart?
  • I believe there's a different technical term for mouth farts.

  • Is it possible to eat in such a way that you'll never have to fart?
  • This is precisely the answer I was looking for, though I didn't know it when I asked. Thank you!

  • Not at all. My best friend adores him. She loves camp in general, so that may be the requisite. She loved the show, loved his movies. I took her to see him live and she loved that too. I need to give her a call and make sure she's ok today. RIP

  • I think detectives and other police that legitimately solve crimes and help the community should be lauded. Law enforcers can tend to be thugs who like brandishing big sticks though. Sometimes they may start that way, other times they may end up that way due to constantly having to deal with horrible situations and people over and over again. I can imagine it would tend to skew your view of people, thinking that they tend to be worse than they actually are, and that affects how you interact with them. Not excusing, just attempting to understand why someone would choose to be that way. Some are just sadists and awful people, of course, but I don't think that's how the majority start. Probably partially the gang mentality of looking after your own no matter what as well.

  • If my deodorant doesn't work, should I use it more often or switch the brand?
  • Not for everyone. Antiperspirants irritate my skin. There are deodorants that work well for me, like Dove.
