I don't think he actually said that though, the only quote I saw that included the word dumb was "It's not in my habit to agree with The Wall Street Journal. Donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do".

No, any weather radar around here is either owned / operated by airports or the military. Although if the price were low enough that'd be a pretty cool hobby to get into, with many legal hurdles I'm sure lol. I'm sure some individuals would pay for the premium weather provider who have the radars, that's what I'm proposing they scrape the data from. Like you say, emergency data is really where this will hurt people, especially in areas with hurricanes and tropical storms.

The pain in his expression was the most relatable thing I've seen from a world leader possibly ever.

I still don't see how they plan to privatize weather forecasting. All it takes is one or two people from each city to scrape the data and upload it to a free alternative site. It's not like health care where each person needs individualized care, it's more like streaming services and we're all seeing how that's going. Never thought the future would involve pirating weather forecasts...

I don't know if I would call it lying per-se, but yes I have seen instances of AI's being told not to use a specific tool and them using them anyways, Neuro-sama comes to mind. I think in those cases it is mostly the front end agreeing not to lie (as that is what it determines the operator would want to hear) but having no means to actually control the other functions going on.

I slept like a baby through it. I did feel the first one, but that was during the day while at work.

Nah, this is closer to hiring a gardener for your lawn that YOU'RE in the process of illegally paving over. There's no external 3rd party forcing the closure of the Department of Education, it's all Trump's actions.

My crab place doesn't include a condom with the meal...

Amphenol connectors. Used a ton in industry, military and aerospace. They are actually really nice when you get down to it, but you need expensive tools and the connectors themselves are usually quite expensive. I once had a client ask for a specific 6 pin one, only about the size of my thumb, it was $800.

Yup, heard about it a week or two ago. Found it installed on my Samsung phone, it never asked for permissions or gave any info that it was added to my phone.

It was just added recently, like within a week or so. At least it's the users choice unlike Twitter.

It's like he's forgotten that trade consists of both money AND goods. We're not just passing money back and forth while secretly keeping some of the USA's cut. Like even kids can understand this. And yes it's even more infuriating since we've been good to the USA, I'm sure many countries around the world would love a neighbour like Canada.
