Serious answer? Because they were in the "Don't ask; don't tell" phase of military policy.

How many times have people been told to use the Oxford comma and still get it wrong?

Even worse, the use of lists without the Oxford comma is showing up more and more in publications who should know better, creating wording or joins the author never intended.

If this software is just now getting punctuation correct after several years of trying, it's doing just as well as humans.

Or if you're more cynical, it's like a Collateralized Debt Obligation

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. And just like a CDO, what happens when someone doesn't, or can't, know the value of the underlying security?

They have an all-in-one package from Verizon. Phone, internet, and tv. It is well over $100/month. Cutting out tv would get them just below that amount.

When I gave up cable well over a decade ago price was the reason. I couldn't justify the yearly cost increases when I was only watching ten or so channels on a regular basis.

My parents still do though my dad keeps questioning if he wants it any longer. They don't watch much any more and the cost is out of hand.

What they do is spend two hours or so every night watching YT videos of places around the world or watching shows about this or that subject.

Who knows, maybe I could write a cool indie game during my 18 months off and I'd never need another corporate job again?

Let us know what torrent it's on.

When the next Democratic president waves their hand you can be sure the Supreme Court will do its duty and say that waving is not part of presidential powers and block whatever it is they want to do.

What if a somewhat lanky fugitive broke into my car and glued the accelerator to the floor as a side quest on his mission to get the band back together and save the old Catholic school?

We know that cached data will leak, eventually.
So why keep so much data?

(We know the answer, because they can sell it.)

I fully understand that details of people's driving habits absolutely can usefully inform car design. No issue. But it could be anonymized at a quite low level.

Ultimately until the penalties for data loss exceed their value to the firms (not just car companies) literally farming us for data, this won't ever stop.

I think the renaming of the Dept of Defense was stupid.
I think there was no legit reason to move Maxwell.
I don't think Trump is a pedo, because that doesn't square with his tossing out Epstein because he was a creeper, and poor Miss Giuffre could EASILY directly have implicated Trump but didn't.

Any more questions you disingenuous coward?

It's HER point you moron.

And?

What's your point?

That we should continue to make things we don't need because they "only" cost $56 million?

I don't disagree that there are bigger things out there, but the bigger things are, the more bloody the fight and in a country split 50/50 that's hard to accomplish.
Look at the FUROR surrounding the obliteration of USAID; this is a program that *started* under the premise of using US aid dollars to funnel toward CIA goals of undercutting foreign governments. In the latter few decades, it has become a $30-$40bn/yr slush fund for woke bullshit if not outright Democrat-promoting propaganda.

Personally, I wish Musk was still in there slashing the SHIT out of the federal budgets, but Congressional Republicans showed their true colors - that they're just a different color of hog, feeding at the fucking trough - so he bailed and I don't blame him.

The federal government needs an AXE on spending. And this is to sacred cows both left and right. I would personally FREEZE spending in all deparments as-is (you could take an average over the last 10y or whatever to smooth out beneficial/detrimental spikes) no inflation increases, until the budget = income.

Nearly every time they investigate, the person mixed up the pedal and the brake. When the car starts accelerating, in their panic they push said "brake" (actually the pedal) harder, and keep pushing it to the floor trying to stop the car.

Then these people shouldn't be driving. If they are unable to put their foot on the correct pedal, what else aren't they doing?

The demise of the sitck shift rears its head again.

Still no button to turn off all notifications of updates. Something so simple which Firefox used to have is now a distant memory.

And yes, I will bring this up in every Firefox article. No, I don't want to hear how I can make changes somewhere deep in the settings. They had it for 15+ years. Considering all the time and effort they're putting into this stuff, they can put it back.
