X is just a vague term though. It's also often used as a placeholder for unknown or variable things. So the "formerly Twitter" is going to stick for quite a while.
It's like naming a product "The Thing". Anyone who talks about it will always have to clarify what Thing they are talking about basically forever.
I think the general rule of thumb is to shift the units of time up.
If he says 2 weeks, try 2 months. If he says 2 months, wait 2 years.
Robotaxis in 2 decades I think is actually achievable.
Would the army even exist if it weren't for young, naive, and/or desperate folk?
That would be nice if we had an unlimited supply of livers to transplant. Give everyone a chance.

the fact that you just happen to have a bale of straw handy every winter was a clue...
The solution is to only sell them in the USA which has no pedestrian safety standards
The English phrase is "missing the forest for the trees"
Not quite the same as chess blindness. Possibly the opposite. It basically means: being unable to see (or ignoring) the bigger picture because you're too focused on minor individual details
it can mean "decent, better than I expected"
or
"good, but not exceptional or memorable"
