I have just tried Grok (on X ) to ask some complicated electrical engineering questions.
I basically asked how long 6mm cable can take a slight overload, for example on a shower which has been up rated but typically only gets used for 10 minutes.
It is amazing how in depth the answers can get.
Basically Grok is the new installation guide.

Who the hell are Grok?
 
It's a very useful tool, but needs quite a bit of tuning to iron out the possibility of errors. I've tried it a couple of times and basically got the same information I'd researched myself, but what took me half an hour took Grok seconds. I wouldn't ask it for any information I hadn't already got to hand - more a case of verification to see if anything has been missed, than a primary source of information.

The speed is crazy and even if you can’t put a question in words because things are still a little sketchy, it still somehow knows what you’re talking about. Useful Tool. And it will tell where to find your answers in a book too.
 
Ye petrol and diesel works better and stocks&shares are volatile by nature.

Do you know, queen Elizabeth was once pictured on the front cover of a newspaper with her arm in the air?

No more politics. Let’s get back to electrics.

I had to laugh at the whole situation, most of the people musk is supporting think climate change is a hoax, and certainly won't be buying EVs. Tesla stocks are down by about a trillion dollars, sales are down 75% in Germany alone, the French have been setting fire to Tesla dealers, and leaving the politics out, he's just shafted his own company. Reminds of Ratner telling the world is jewellery is cheap *****!
 
I think it's rather extreme that people would burn cars and showrooms on the basis of a disagreement with someone's political opinion. It's also rather odd to see self-described environmentalists, who oppose petrol and diesel vehicles, damaging and destroying electric vehicles - one might reasonably question their motives.

'Fascist' is an odd label with which to brand someone who espouses personal freedom (within legal constraints) and small government. A more apt descriptor would be 'libertarian' - liberal in the classic sense.

I've no idea if Tesla sales are genuinely tanking or if they're simply losing market share as competitors finally catch up, but it's unlikely that much could be gleaned from the limited period of sales data on which a plethora of current headlines are based.

If I wanted to become enraged by something, perhaps the idea of proposed changes to Britain's rule of law would be a good example of an anger-worthy issue. The principle that everyone, including those in power, is subject to the law, and that the law should be applied equally is being challenged with a view to replacing it with a system that discriminates on the basis of racial, religious and cultural criteria. Thing is I don't feel anger - my primary emotion is disappointment - and most certainly won't be burning, smashing or otherwise destroying any property as a means of 'expressing' my opinion and nor will I lend support to anyone who does. Perhaps this last comment is a prime example of why my traditionally centre left views are now considered to be 'far right'.
