Yep. Trump's nonsense got old decades ago. He's jumped the shark on nonsense dozens of times since then.

Just have to comment on this part. While it would be nice if the US actually had real primary elections or any other kind of multi-pass election system, it doesn't. The selection of Presidential candidates for either of the two parties in the US two-party system is not actually a democratic process.

In the end, it is just another tool. Yes, what you said is probably all correct. But so what? Any tool is required skills to use properly. And yes, if there is a new tool we do need some time to figure out the best way to use it.

I still like it and I am trying to be careful and I do use local bots to privacy. So... nothing changes really.

Are you trying to instantiate a new law like Godwin?

Why would you consider this a case of misuse? This is exactly what it was designed for -- chatbots are for chats.

Sometimes, to get your thoughts straight, all you need is to discuss them with somebody. Chatbots seem to be just great for this. You really do not need anything from them, you just explain your ideas and this makes them more organized. This is really useful. Especially, now when you really have to be careful what you say to others, or you may end up totally cancelled.

I suppose the Germans weren't actually occupying Ukraine?

Oh, it's roman_mir, your grasp of history is tenuous at best so I shouldn't be surprised.

Bandera's idea was that once Germany conquered the USSR he was going to rule it as a vassal state for the Nazis. Hitler on the other hand had no intention of any Slavic "untermenchen" being allowed to rule anything so put him under arrest. His fanatics still continued to happily serve their Nazi masters, and carried out many massacres of Roma, Jews and Poles. Several of the death camps were guarded by Ukrainian POWs, apparently the Germans felt safe arming them as long as they had Jews and Poles to abuse.

Today's Ukrainian government sees no issue with putting up statues to Bandera or his henchmen just blocks away from the massacre sites.

Bixby's Law says, "In any security installation the weakest link is not in the hardware or the software, but in the wetware."

SlashDot has been infested with Libertardians for a long time, otherwise intelligent people who believe that if we just get rid of taxes and government the Magical Mystical Free Market Fairy will wave her magic wand and clean water, clean air, bridges and safe work places will appear.

Public school funding mostly comes from property taxes for a reason; so that districts full of rich people have better schools for their children than districts full of poor people. They were very open about that when the system was set up, and it's working very well. In Michigan schools in Benton Harbor haven't been painted in two decades and have leaking roofs, a couple of hours away in Gross Pointe Shores the high school has a heated indoor pool and kids go to Washington and New York on class trips.

I can never tell if you are serious or insane. Ultimately though, that kind of dedication to a troll persona is insane, so I guess you're insane either way.

Yes, I'm a heretic, but I RTFA in Phys.org and it says:

In March 2022, the researchers sent hundreds of sporophytes to the ISS aboard the Cygnus NG-17 spacecraft. Once they arrived, the astronauts attached the sporophyte samples to the outside of the ISS, where they were exposed to space for a total of 283 days. The moss then hitched a ride back to Earth on SpaceX CRS-16 in January 2023 and was returned to the lab for testing.

The simulation was to see if this was a reasonable experiment to conduct, you need some sort of baseline level of reasonableness before NASA lets you hang something off the ISS.

Surviving reentry would be easy for spores, as soon as there's enough air molecules to create any sort of resistance and slow them down they'll just start to drift. They may take a few months to arrive at the surface, and then there's a 70% chance they'll land in the ocean, but if they wander into a rain cloud it could be faster since spores are one of the things that can cause raindrops to coalesce. Once they're on land it's just a matter of being lucky enough to land somewhere habitable for their species. There are a lot of species of moss that are found from the Arctic to the Antarctic, probably because spores got caught in an updraft that took them into the upper atmosphere for a few months.

Legit red teams find holes, they don't cause damage.
