His surname is one transposition away from "AI Mode".

When you get control of the money, you get control of the means of production. That's literally what capitalism is for.

Cursive is shit though and people should stop using it. If we're only keeping it around for signatures we should just learn to accept doing them without. They can learn fine motor skills in an art class.

Communications development.

If it doesn't have military applications then it doesn't get funded.

Keeping it going costs peanuts compared to the PR.

Insert simpsons meme here: Largest prime number so far. A native English speaker would understand this to be the meaning unless they were trying really hard to be obtuse.

No, I'd say NASA is a military organization because it exists first and foremost to support our military. Anyone who believes differently has proven their vulnerability to gaslighting. Our spaceflight projects all have direct military applications.

Microsoft keeps claiming they're changing and then I keep seeing new ads for functionality I don't want to use pop up to distract me while I'm trying to work, and yes this is a locked down work environment where an effort has been made to turn all of that shit off. But you fire up Teams after some trivial update and it wants to tell you how you could use AI in it, no I am literally never going to do that on purpose. If Microsoft has changed it's only that they're adding more gaslighting.

It's easier than washing one's balls.

Yeah, because all even/all odd is (from basic statistics) rare, and happens to be rarer than the percentage of people who play all-even or all-odd, so you'd be more likely to split any winnings.

It probably makes more sense given their scale for them to have their own power generation -- solar, wind, and battery storage, maybe gas turbines for extended periods of low renewable availability.

In fact, you could take it further. You could designate town-sized areas for multiple companies' data centers, served by an electricity source (possibly nuclear) and water reclamation and recycling centers providing zero carbon emissions and minimal environmental impact. It would be served by a compact, robust, and completely sepate electrical grid of its own, reducing costs for the data centers and isolating residential customers from the impact of their elecrical use. It would also economically concentrate data centers for businesses providing services they need,reducing costs and increasing profits all around.

These Nordic idiots are the same folks that ride fucking bicycles in ice and snow in the middle of winter too....

I don't want to stop buying plastics. I want to have the option to buy actually recycled plastics that actually get recycled. We can do this but we don't. We don't because the people with all the money who therefore control the means of production decide that we don't. "We" is a stretchy word. So is "you" and so's "can". Sure, you can choose to opt out of society, but it would make more sense to make society not shit all over everything.
