I just asked ChatGPT to tell me which countries have populations that are closest to Mordor.
It gave me a detailed top 5 and seemed to be enjoying itself
It can be brutally honest if you phrase questions correctly.

Wonder what the leftmost guy would look next to Yao. Better not to have them next to each other; Yao may accidentally step on him.BillTre said:

Wow, almost even scary when you ask a followup to a 9 year old online question and you get an answer some 30 seconds afterwards.

I'm on vacation and my wife invited her widowed friend to join us. So here I am walking around a beach resort getting strange looks like I have two wives. The look that we got from one woman at dinner was too funny.
I've decided to just own it.

I'm guessing that the woman at dinner drew the same conclusion about our arrangement.

A few years ago I actually took two women out for dinner. It was certainly a new kind of social challenge!Borg said:I'm on vacation and my wife invited her widowed friend to join us.

The other day I caught Smerconish (CNN political show) invoking Ockham's Razor; incorrectly of course.

Now how much should I trust his interpretation of current events? Egad!!!!

You're not likely to find someone who gets everything right. He may have also failed while trying to simplify a point. Now, if you catch them making 3-4 mistakes in a short time that's a clearer indication of ineptitude.Ivan Seeking said:

My take is he is intellectually sloppy and doesn't do his homework. I often watch him because there isn't much else interesting to watch at 6 AM on Saturday mornings. And lately he has been annoying me. But this degree of sloppiness shocked me. I expected better than that.WWGD said:

Ok. I haven't owned a TV for a while. What annoys me is people in YT who drop by videos and comment on how they don't like a song, sport, etc? Just don't watch it then.Ivan Seeking said:

Being old, I did a search yesterday, on how likely I am to get a hip fracture.
Today, I looked at the growth of the S&P 500 Index fund.
The equation today, looked spookily familiar.
Upon confirmation, it reminded me of the old Pirates vs 'something or other' not-a-correlation.
That is all.
ps. References available on request.

Fun Fact: Many years ago, my uncle ran the service department at a very large GM dealership in Los Angeles. This place was huge! They had a service center dedicated to servicing large busses. And many of these busses were the personal busses of celebrities who used them for travel; mainly movie stars and musicians. Since he ran the department, my uncle could check out a bus for some bogus reason and take them for a personal road trip. No one knew the difference. He was the boss.
One year my uncle, his wife and daughter, my ex and I, and I think my sister all took Willy Nelson's bus on a 1000-mile road test for a week to visit other family members. Because of my work on mobile CAT scanners and MRI, which were on large busses and tractor trailers, I was licensed to drive a bus. So was my uncle. So off we went. It was very nice inside a heck of a way to travel.
Guess what we found in a tray under one of the beds.

What I am going to tell you about is what we teach our physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school...
It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don't understand it. You see my physics students don't understand it... That is because I don't understand it.
Nobody does.

Doh! It happened again.
Was trying again to figure out the probability of me breaking my hip, when an intermediary graph reminded me of solar panel output graphs from my younger years.
linear-ish, then whoa!, then linear-ish again.
I'm blaming this on Martin Gardner. That bastard got me REALLY going.
