BBC tends to be unbaised when they report on American news because they don't care about D and R.
 

I don't re recall them ever editing any speeches by Democrats to make it look like they were inciting riots when, in fact, they were doing the exact opposite.

They've admitted their bias. Hallucinate all you want, there's no question whatsoever about it.

The Tesla robotaxi in Austin has been operating unsupervised for months now and I personally have been using (supervised) FSD, with no critical interventions. You can find many on youtube doing the same. Just try it out. Go to your local Tesla dealer, try it. Then come back and comment. If you're in Austin or the SF bay area then call a Robotaxi.

Should point out humanity's "best" tool today for doing this is the adenovirus capsid, but it has 3 major shortcomings: it only holds about 4kb of code, can't get into all cells efficiently (relative to other things it can, but not good enough), AND it can (practically) only be dosed once (if you dose it again after a week or two the immune system destroys it).

This is the same as curing cancer and virtually every disease, because if there was a way to get a "large" payload (say 10kb of RNA, or ideally, 30 kb like the Coronavirus) into every cell efficiently, you can cure cancer. With 10kb it can be done with genius level bioengineering skill. With 30 kb it's trivial.

Recall is there to vacuum up all the sensitive data "on" the computer and make it available to Microsoft and their partners for their use.

I liken it to telemetry that can apply to all software / activities on a system - even third-party software - w/o having embed telemetry in any software. Simply screenshot things every few seconds and scan the images with OCR and/or "AI". Truly a horrible situation for the end-users.

The US tends to import heavy sour crude and export light sweet crude. We have the refining capacity for heavy sour, which is more capital and energy intensive, so that works out economically. We have extra heavy refining capacity now because in January Dos Bocas went on line in Mexico, so Mexico can now refine more heavy and export more lucrative refined products. Fortunately for US refiners, we also got a new source of crude (very heavy and sour) when we "liberated" Venezuela.

In general, the heavier and more sour the crude, the harder it is to refine; if the US suddenly had an excess of light sweet and a shortage of heavy sour, US refineries could still handle it.
