[timetrek24]

🇺🇲🤝🇦🇹 Delve into the fascinating history of the Ingersoll The Grafton—a timepiece that marries classic elegance with timeless functionality! The Ingersoll brand has a storied legacy in watchmaking, and The Grafton is a shining example of its commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

📜 The collectible Grafton watch range takes its name from Captain James Ingersoll Grafton, a veteran who served in the American Civil War. Captain Grafton, commander of the Second Massachusetts Infantry, tragically lost his life on March 16, 1865, during the Battle of Averasborough.

⌚️ The automatic Grafton watches range is characterized by its large dial face and finely stitched straps. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, The Grafton features a sleek and understated design, with a stainless steel case and a minimalist dial.

🕯 The Ingersoll The Grafton watch pays homage to the brand's rich heritage, which dates back to 1892 when the first Ingersoll pocket watch was introduced. Since then, Ingersoll has been synonymous with quality, reliability, and affordability in the world of horology. Their impact was so profound that even president Theodore Roosevelt, during his African expedition, was recognized as "the man from the country where Ingersoll was produced."

👉 Nowadays the Ingersoll Watch Company is owned by Zeon Watches, a British subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based company Herald Group. The watches are produced in Austria now. But anyway their legendary american tagline, "The watch that made the dollar famous!" echoed across generations, cementing their place in horological history.

🌟 Despite its timeless design, The Grafton incorporates modern elements such as a date display window and water resistance, offering both style and functionality for the modern gentleman.

i have chronic pain. i am neurodivergent. i understand - deeply - the allure of a "quick fix" like AI. i also just grew up in a different time. we have been warned about this.

15 entire years ago i heard about this. in my forensics class in high school, we watched a documentary about how AI-based "crime solving" software was inevitably biased against people of color.

my teacher stressed that AI is like a book: when someone writes it, some part of the author will remain within the result. the internet existed but not as loudly at that point - we didn't know that AI would be able to teach itself off already-biased Reddit threads. i googled it: yes, this bias is still happening. yes, it's just as bad if not worse.

i can't actually stop you. if you wanna use ChatGPT to slide through your classes, that's on you. it's your money and it's your time. you will spend none of it thinking, you will learn nothing, and, in college, you will piss away hundreds of thousands of dollars. you will stand at the podium having done nothing, accomplished nothing. a cold and bitter pyrrhic victory.

i'm not even sure students actually read the essays or summaries or emails they have ChatGPT pump out. i think it just flows over them and they use the first answer they get. my brother teaches engineering - he recently got fifty-three copies of almost-the-exact-same lab reports. no one had even changed the wording.

and yes: AI itself (as a concept and practice) isn't always evil. there's AI that can help detect cancer, for example. and yet: when i ask my students if they'd be okay with a doctor that learned from AI, many of them balk. it is one thing if they don't read their engineering textbook or if they don't write the critical-thinking essay. it's another when it starts to affect them. they know it's wrong for AI to broad-spectrum deny insurance claims, but they swear their use of AI is different.

there's a strange desire to sort of divorce real-world AI malpractice over "personal use". for example, is it moral to use AI to write your cover letters? cover letters are essentially only templates, and besides: AI is going to be reading your job app, so isn't it kind of fair?

i recently found out that people use AI as a romantic or sexual partner. it seems like teenagers particularly enjoy this connection, and this is one of those "sticky" moments as a teacher. honestly - you can roast me for this - but if it was an actually-safe AI, i think teenagers exploring their sexuality with a fake partner is amazing. it prevents them from making permanent mistakes, it can teach them about their bodies and their desires, and it can help their confidence. but the problem is that it's not safe. there isn't a well-educated, sensitive AI specifically to help teens explore their hormones. it's just internet-fed cycle. who knows what they're learning. who knows what misinformation they're getting.

the most common pushback i get involves therapy. none of us have access to the therapist of our dreams - it's expensive, elusive, and involves an annoying amount of insurance claims. someone once asked me: are you going to be mad when AI saves someone's life?

therapists are not just trained on the book, they're trained on patient management and helping you see things you don't see yourself. part of it will involve discomfort. i don't know that AI is ever going to be able to analyze the words you feed it and answer with a mind towards the "whole person" writing those words. but also - if it keeps/kept you alive, i'm not a purist. i've done terrible things to myself when i was at rock bottom. in an emergency, we kind of forgive the seatbelt for leaving bruises. it's just that chat shouldn't be your only form of self-care and recovery.

and i worry that the influence chat has is expanding. more and more i see people use chat for the smallest, most easily-navigated situations. and i can't like, make you worry about that in your own life. i often think about how easy it was for social media to take over all my time - how i can't have a tiktok because i spend hours on it. i don't want that to happen with chat. i want to enjoy thinking. i want to enjoy writing. i want to be here. i've already really been struggling to put the phone down. this feels like another way to get you to pick the phone up.

the other day, i was frustrated by a book i was reading. it's far in the series and is about a character i resent. i googled if i had to read it, or if it was one of those "in between" books that don't actually affect the plot (you know, one of those ".5" books). someone said something that really stuck with me - theoretically you're reading this series for enjoyment, so while you don't actually have to read it, one would assume you want to read it.

i am watching a generation of people learn they don't have to read the thing in their hand. and it is kind of a strange sort of doom that comes over me: i read because it's genuinely fun. i learn because even though it's hard, it feels good. i try because it makes me happy to try. and i'm watching a generation of people all lay down and say: but i don't want to try.

EVs vs hybrids in the US (video)

- By Phil Siarri , Nuadox -

Automakers are now prioritizing hybrids over EVs in the United States as per a recent video from CNBC.

Video: "Why Hybrids Are Beating EVs In The U.S." by CNBC, YouTube.

Here are some key highlights:

EV sales in the US have slowed down, indicating a potential saturation of early adopters and challenges in appealing to mainstream consumers. This slowdown raises questions about the future growth of EV adoption.

Automakers’ shift towards prioritizing hybrids over EVs suggests a strategic move to meet tightening federal fuel economy standards and cater to current consumer preferences. This decision could possibly highlight the industry’s focus on short-term sales rather than long-term sustainability.

Affordability and convenience remain significant barriers to EV adoption. Higher interest rates and the overall affordability crisis make EVs less attractive compared to cheaper hybrid and ICE vehicles. Additionally, the lack of public charging infrastructure poses challenges for potential EV owners.

Plug-in hybrids offer a compromise between internal combustion engine vehicles and EVs, providing a bridge technology for consumers who are not ready for full electrification. However, their limitations, such as shorter electric range and reliance on gasoline, make them less efficient and less appealing than both EVs and traditional hybrids.

The transition to full EVs may face obstacles due to practical challenges, such as limited charging infrastructure and range anxiety, as well as the resistance of mainstream consumers who are not yet ready to embrace the new technology. Plug-in hybrids could serve as a transitional solution for a significant portion of the market that is hesitant to adopt full EVs.
