I completed my thesis in January 2013. Well before then my institution laid down a hard no on using Wikipedia anywhere in a thesis, review, or original article. Why she would have ever copied text from there and expected it to suffice for a thesis is the real mystery.

Yes there are some well written articles on wikipedia that can be a great introduction to a topic. However any serious scholar should take the time to read the sources cited by it before accepting its words as being the least bit authoritative. Wikipedia should not be cited in a thesis any more so than should a review paper; it's simply lazy work to do so. Even citing an undergrad text book is a better academic move than citing Wikipedia.

There was a time when some of the EV chargers were free, but they were scattered randomly about. If I hear the word public though I think of things that are run by some level of government, and I presume that isn't the case here either? Is a public EV charger "public" in the same way I could call my local gas station "public"? Is a public EV charger just one that isn't in someone's house or restricted in some way to an exclusive set of users (beyond of course the Tesla-only chargers)?

Best Buy was one of the largest retailers of CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. After repeatedly shrinking the amount of floor space they've allocated for those formats over the years, they will stop carrying them altogether soon. Your local store has likely already placed its final order for movies and audio on physical media.

That leaves you with WalMart, Target, or online retailers. I wouldn't expect the first two to hold on to physical media much longer, and the third is a giant question mark.

Roman isn't a bot, he's just a cult member here to recruit people to the Church of Ron Paul. Taking his comments through that lens explains everything he says.

There is lots of advance "tradesman" type work associated with science that is pretty well protected from AI invasion. I'm referring specifically to service engineer type positions, which takes people who understand the science and has them do installation, repair, qualification, etc on high end lab equipment. I moved into this field a while back now and it's been a great fit for me in particular, and while AI could help us with the diagnostics there are zero robots that I have ever seen with the dexterity to do the actual repairs.

... run doom? If it's even 20% of the performance of the RPi it should be up to the task. I don't seem to be the only person who has asked the question, but I don't see a definitive answer.

Don't pretend you don't have Idols, roman. You have openly worshiped at the altar of Saint Ron Paul for a long time now. Your religious dedication to him makes the Pope look like an agnostic.

They couldn't scale up to 1.21 gigawatts?

Previous comment was trying to claim that Biden would ban all rifles, which is nonsense. He called for changes on sales of assault rifles, which is a very small portion of rifle sales and ownership.

Why is it OK to make up shit like this about non-conservatives, yet if someone takes something actually said by Trump and extrapolates it to action, that is completely unacceptable?

Not once has Biden shown any support for a rifle ban. Not. One. Single. Time.

Trump's main message lately has been that all democrats are evil and must be destroyed in every way possible. If the democrats subbed in a 35 year old with no political experience as the next candidate for POTUS from their party, Trump and his cult would still label that person as evil and part of the "deep state", and his followers would be riled up to vote for Trump to "save America" from this person.

There is no substance to Trump's campaign. This makes it really, really, difficult to run against. You can't get him to stick to a policy long enough to debate it, and his followers think that's great.

I don't expect this place to last much longer. I suspect you might well enjoy townhall.com or one of those more, but one of these days this site will post its final article and I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen before the end of 2024.

I never claimed the military to be perfect. I merely pointed out that your primary claim has no supporting data. You stated that recruitment was down, yet you have not been able to find any data to support that.

As I pointed out in another reply, your activism against higher education isn't helping recruitment, though. Many men and women enlisted to get the GI Bill and go to college, now you are enthusiastically telling them not to go to college. If you are telling them that carrot is worthless, then you have yourself taken away one significant incentive.

If that's so, then why do you keep voting fascists into office? You have never elected a president who was interested in sharing power, and more recently you elected a fascist who wasn't even inclined to give it away when constitutionally required to do so.
