Unspoken subtext of "I'm the priest?" As if the dichotomy is you are either the priest or the church boy - there is no other option?
Better than what will actually happen- fail to use powerful new tool for presidential oppression, watch the other side use it, surprise pikachu, hand wringing, impotent mewling, get sent to death camps for failing to salute your neighborhood God emperor proxy fast enough.
If The Great Gatsby is a difficult book, what is something like Finnegan's Wake or Ulysses? Actually, I am kind of interested in how AI would destroy those works.
Here me out: Supreme Court justices, Seal Team 6, official act. You don't even have to pack the Court any more.
And yet 2023 was the new all time high for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the book. We will not cut emissions until we run out of easily extractable carbon to emit. We'll be building solar powered pumps for oil wells at some point for the otherwise negative EROI. As a species, we deserve the consequences of our behavior. Too bad they will be most severe for some of the least responsible first.
The critical question, apparently.
Gee, I wonder why Justice Thomas might be friendly towards the accused in a public corruption case. Maybe Harlan Crow encouraged him.
Saving them for my retirement. (I will probably only retire when my health is so poor that it is clear that I won't outlive my retirement resources.)
On opening night at the theater, my friend shouted, "Shut up! No you don't!" When this line was uttered. Made the scene much more memorable for me.
I worked at a restaurant as a teen. One of the managers went to Hawaii for vacation and never came back. Food service jobs are not hard to find. The bartender he was occasionally fucking was pretty unhappy because he didn't even tell her or call.
Fifteen years ago means the patent will expire soon, so the idea will be public domain for others to implement.
I write code for embedded systems that have hard real-time deadlines. Flashing an LED is an inexpensive number of operations compared to most other diagnostic techniques. I can connect an oscilloscope to them to get meaningful accurate time measurements. I am not blinking out Morse code status messages (although I have considered it for some particularly squirrelly problems).
It's me. I write software and complain to the hardware team when I don't have leds to blink for diagnostic purposes.
Separate apps for various retail stores. I don't want a home depot app. I don't want a kroger app. We have a generic app for this category called a web browser. If you want me to download a specialized app for your store, I assume that means that my browser does not sufficiently breach my privacy for your "business purposes."
If someone is proselytizing, I see them as less than human.
One of my cats has a much bigger murder section than the other. Her brain is probably about 30% murder and 30% food. Oddly, she is substantially thinner than the other one who is not very food or murder oriented. The porky one is mostly nap - probably 60%.
Maybe we should make his fantasies a reality. Treason can be a capital offense. Subverting our elections while being beholden to Moscow sounds a lot like treason to me.
Rape rates declined following the code spread availability of internet porn, I wonder if they will go higher in the stupid states (I live in one). Obviously, VPNs neuter the impact of the laws some, but not everyone is savvy enough to use them. I feel bad for adolescent boys.
Coming soon to the U.S., we need the seven-day work week to outcompete our foreign rivals. Don't you want to be rich? It will trickle down. No that is not Reagan's ghost laughing out loud at how gullible his constituents are, why do you think that?
Well there is no commandment that says, "Thou shall not grab thy date's hog in a crowded theater on camera and in front of children. " I guess she is okay. Lol
Natural gas is actually migrating under permafrost, and could see methane emissions skyrocket if it escapes - another feedback loop
Beneath Svalbard's permafrost, millions of cubic meters of methane are trapped—and scientists have now learned that it can migrate beneath the cold seal of the permafrost and escape. A large-scale escape could create a cycle of warming that would send methane emissions skyrocketing: warming thaws th...
We'll melt some permafrost and release trapped methane that will melt even more permafrost.
