Playing a musical instrument while walking requires additional training. Neither of those activities is as automatic as you seem to think

Nice whataboutism and unsupported speculation, but do fuck off

Even dual-purposing the energy like that will still be less efficient than a heat pump

Mercedes makes European muscle cars.

Germans are probably the Europeans most resembling Americans. Most of their cars are automatics now, and lots of them are fat, and... You know...

Lots of those cars were indeed designed for Europe, but some weren't. The F-Series still sells well in other countries with wide roads. Others were designed to be international, like Focus.

The people at the top of the ziggurat have always been more than willing to piss on those below them. Don't imagine that the media has caused this, because this is the prevailing reality and has been presumably since before recorded history, because it's certainly been true for as long as we know about.

They can run inferior models in-house. If they want models which do all the things they're used to, though that is nowhere near the promises made by AI providers, they will either need to spend a shitload on hardware or pay someone else for the service. There's no cheap way into having high quality LLMs, for what that's even worth.

The models you can run on reasonable hardware are more impressive than many people might think, but they aren't anywhere near the capabilities of the larger models.

The Trump regime is connected to the reality of sabotaging the USA.

It really doesn't matter why or for who, although it's Putin ofc.

This was nonsense until China started putting out cheap EVs below cost. American automakers had huge overseas sales.

They aren't though, that's the problem. They have the rights of people, but none of the responsibilities, or anything else frankly. If they had the responsibilities of people, then we could incarcerate or "kill" them.

Russia has assassinated former Russian citizens outside of Russia before, it would be unsurprising if they did it again.

Do you have even the vaguest idea what the monitoring requirements are for water systems in the USA?

If not, why didn't you look it up?

What a trite demonstration of the fact that you live in delulu land.

I'm describing the prevailing situation, not expressing support for it.

By living in denial about it, though, you are in fact enabling it.

Run along now, ignoramus.

lolol @ "within our lifetimes"

We are still profiting. We are still oppressing the people we stole the land from. Yes, it was theft, because we didn't conquer most of it outright — we signed treaties with the natives and then BROKE LITERALLY EVERY ONE OF THEM.

As long as we continue to profit from that ongoing abuse, we share the responsibility for the actions.

I'm not interested in your appeal to religion, so I didn't read the rest of your screed either. Man invented God, so any God-given rights were also invented by man.

Putting a dollar sign in for an S in nerd culture goes back to mocking Compu$erve. You don't know this is a time honored tradition because you are a noob.
