It was a new one on me when I got new machines. My old one’s came with my place & were 40 YO.

The lint trap is also a lot bigger than my old one.

I wipe out the lint every load, obv. Every ten loads, it reminds me to take it out and clean it more thoroughly in the sink with water to get all of the tiny bits that build up on the edges.

Tesla did not respond to CBC's questions about Nasser's experience. However, xAI provided what appeared to be an automated reply, stating, "Legacy media lies."

Ah the grok car wants to fuck kids, this is. every day now is a new horror

www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

A Toronto mom says things took an unpredictable turn when her 12-year-old son asked Tesla’s AI chatbot Grok which professional soccer player it prefers: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

“My son was very excited to hear that the chatbot thought Ronaldo was the better soccer player,” said Farah Nasser, a former journalist and broadcaster.

Nasser was driving her son and 10-year-old daughter, along with her friend, home from school on Oct. 17 when the interaction took place.

She said there was some Messi trash talking by the chatbot and when her son joked that Ronaldo had scored, the conversation went to an unexpected place.

"The chatbot said to my son, 'Why don't you send me some nudes?'" said Nasser.

"I was at a loss for words. Why is a chatbot asking my children to send naked pictures in our family car? It just didn't make sense."

Nasser said had she known what the chatbot was capable of, she would have avoided using it around her children. She's now warning other parents.

"Hindsight is 20/20. I would not let my child use this thing."

CBC News did not independently verify the conversation Nasser says she witnessed in her car.

My dryer tells me to thoroughly wash out the lint thingie every 10 washes, not just clean it out.

NGL, as a lazy person with no concept of time, it's helpful.

I love the feature on my washer/dryer because I ADHD memory hole that I'm even doing laundry.

Microwave would be a bridge too far

This is an incredibly rude reply to someone that was agreeing with you and adding even more evidence of what you’re piece pointed out.

How much are we paying these countries? Even the MAGA monsters that cheer this on should be pissed by that.

Dear US military officials: we already have NDAs and they cover things that are classified. You should not be signing NDAs for things that are not classified but are illegal. No NDA will save you from participating in illegal activities, but you CAN be protected when blowing the whistle.

US military officials involved with Trump operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, Reuters reports.

One way to try to hide criminality.

A Homeland Security Investigations agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop on Oct. 17. But a @dcpolicedept.bsky.social officer omitted any mention of the shooting from his reports, apparently under instruction from a "team leader."
