Asking for me, but is this a thing for guys now? Had lunch with a couple of coworkers (guys) last week and they both said they'd had pedicures (plural). I just assumed it was for the gay fellers and men unwilling to admit they're gay fellers. Am I wrong?

I have to think that guys that get pedicures would be the first to go in a civil war or zombie apocalypse. But maybe I'm not seeing something.

Hell, I've considered it

The older I get the harder it gets to cut my toenails. I don't need any of the fluff, just cut the damn things where I don't end up with an ingrown nail
 
I'm late to the AI party. Is there anything to stop Grok from being programmed to spoon-feed misinformation?
Only the promise to not.

"what keeps grok from using misinformation"

I’m designed to prioritize truth and accuracy, but misinformation is a tricky beast. Here’s how I tackle it:
  • Cross-referencing sources: I pull from a vast pool of data, including real-time web searches and posts on X, to verify information. If multiple credible sources align, I lean on that. If they don’t, I’ll flag the uncertainty.
  • Reasoning from first principles: When possible, I break things down to fundamentals and reason upward, avoiding reliance on potentially shaky claims.
  • Neutral stance: I don’t have a dog in the fight. My goal is to present what’s most likely true, not to push an agenda.
  • Transparency: If I’m unsure or the data’s murky, I’ll say so. You’ll get a “here’s what I know, but it’s not conclusive” instead of a confident guess.
  • Continuous updates: My knowledge evolves as new info comes in, so I’m not stuck on outdated or debunked claims.
That said, I’m not infallible. Misinformation can slip through if it’s widespread or cleverly disguised. If you spot something off, call it out—I can dig deeper or correct course. What’s the context you’re worried about? Want me to double-check something specific?
 


BREAKING -A 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck the volcanic area around Naples ITALY as part of a “major” quake swarm on Tuesday, sparking fear but no immediate reports of damage.

👉🏼 KIM CLEMENT PROPHECY 👈🏻

And in Italy, I will do something that is so anointed and strange they shall have two earthquakes and then you will know that God has begun to do His work throughout the earth. This is My word, says the Lord. Pray for it shall come to pass, says the Lord.
They will find in the treasuries, in the cryptos; material and scrolls. They were supposed to be hidden but will get into the hands of scientists and they shall say, "We must hide these." But because of this pope, which was spoken years ago of, My Spirit will guide him and he shall present these things that are hidden in the caves. People shall be amazed at what has been hidden but the world shall understand there is a key. It is the key of David that shall unlock. And they will say, "we must argue that this is not authentic," but they shall be proven wrong because of technology that shall emerge. I do this for My kingdom, which is coming, says the Lord, and for My King, who is coming, My Son. Before that great day, before that great hour, there shall be a discovery after discovery of the scrolls and the documents and truths shall emerge from caves, from tunnels, from the ground. And Christ shall be known throughout the earth and great celebration shall take place because of this, says the Lord. April 19, 2014 - The Den

That Suspicious Observer channel on YT has been calling this for years on our weakening magnetic field. It's wild when someone nails it so accurate and people still say he's crazy. Power outages are up too. Communications have gone down is some areas the last several months as well.

Our magnetic field is 30% weaker than it was 100 years ago. Even mild solar storms are causing problems now. A big CME would devastate our grid.

CME?
 
Coronal mass ejection.

The Carrington Event was a large solar storm that took place at the beginning of September 1859, just a few months before the solar maximum of 1860.


In August 1859, astronomers around the world watched with fascination as the number of sunspots on the solar disk grew. Among them was Richard Carrington, an amateur skywatcher in a small town called Redhill, near London in England.

On Sep. 1, as Carrington was sketching the sunspots, he was blinded by a sudden flash of light. Carrington described it as a "white light flare" according to NASA spaceflight. The whole event lasted about five minutes.

The flare was a major coronal mass ejection (CME), a burst of magnetized plasma from the sun's upper atmosphere, the corona. In 17.6 hours, the CME traversed over 90 million miles (150 million km) between the sun and Earth and unleashed its force on our planet. According to NASA spaceflight, it usually takes CMEs multiple days to reach Earth.

The day after Carrington observed the impressive flare, Earth experienced an unprecedented geomagnetic storm, with telegraph systems going haywire and auroral displays — normally confined to polar latitudes — visible in the tropics, according to NASA Science.

Carrington put two and two together and realized that the solar flare he'd seen was almost certainly the cause of this massive geomagnetic disturbance. This was a connection that had never previously been made, according to NASA Spaceflight. The solar storm of 1859 is now known as the Carrington Event in his honor.

The origins of space weather can be traced to contortions in the sun's magnetic field, leading to dark blotches or sunspots on its surface, according to NASA Earth Observatory.

It's from these spots that solar flares, coronal mass ejections and other electromagnetic phenomena can emerge — with potentially hazardous consequences for our technological way of life.

Sunspot activity rises and falls on an 11-year cycle, and we're currently approaching the next solar maximum in 2025. So now is a good time to look at the worst solar storms.

but everyone knows the Sun can't possibly affect the Earth's climate...

it's caused by too much carbon between the ears....
