I miss pc at power systems.
"Is it off?" was never a question.

Imagine having TDS since 2016.

The "reason" needs to be a warrant number, full stop.

Minnesota native laughs at +40c to -40c annual span.

I walk every morning a couple of miles outdoors, I wear a long sleeve shirt at 10c or below, a light jacket at 5, go from shorts to sweatpants at 0, a hat and real jacket at -5, and we don't walk below -15.

Like saying people were to blame for the reflecting pool fuck up. Sure that was true, just not any of the people Trump or the justice department blamed, it was the installers and morons who managed the project. Yah we get it, thanks for the lying pro-tips.

We were all waiting for federal cases to be built, or some disclosures. When it became clear that simply wasn't going to happen, one year into Trump's term the Republican controlled House and Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025.

I don't know what Biden's DOJ was doing, but Congress figured out what Trump's definitely wasn't doing after more than enough time had passed. Republicans controlled the house for the 118th Congress, Biden's last two years. Try asking your congress critters why they thought 2025 was the right time to get involved.

Around 2029 we'll see that a ride is available for $16 or $31 with a driver.

Rider's choice. I'll guess it goes about 80/20.

He seems like a real scumbag but it's worth keeping in mind that the people who told us that have a massive incentive to pin their crimes on a scapegoat.

Since we pretty much know that FTX was the #1 donor to a party's political action committee with money laundered through Ukraine, he would have been smarter to wait for that conflict to conclude.

The people who benefited from the crime also prosecuted him which is never reliable.

It might not be FedSlop but unless it is proven that both parties didn't benefit we shouldn't trust this government either.

We do know that Ladybug Graham got $18M straight into his bank account from Ukraine so there is certainly smoke.

It's only since a dead man can't sue for libel that people are willing to print that nugget now.

Not in a Corporate Democracy.

The people who would prosecute OpenAI want to use OpenAI to maximize their power and wealth at your financial and legal expense.

Remember when they tried to extradite Gary McKinnon for twenty years for looking at a spreadsheet when he accidentally got RDP access to an unsecured NASA desktop with a simple Perl script? Intent is not relevant for prosecutors (mens rea should be an element in a Constitutional case).

The legal basis is there but the will to power is not.

Two systems of courts for different classes of people (yet again). It would be an error to call that a Justice System.

n.b. the Culture War psyop is there to try to convince you that the classes are something else.

...Says the side literally endorsing fetish frankenpeople cavorting specifically for children.

You understand that literally everyone who reads your comment (whether they agree or not) recognizes you're a ccp-sponsored bot, yeah?

Fox "News" can mean many things, but this sure is broadcast. The actual answer though as a news segment, no, those are exempt.

Well for one thing, the question was Fox News, and they'd likely be exempt as bonafide news right? If we're bringing the rest of Fox (we mean broadcast right?) into this, having had people on is not AT ALL the same as fulfilling equal time requirements. Jimmy Kimmel has had people on, Trump himself, Ted Cruz, etc. it doesn't mean anything.

The question is really if Judge Judy (national program carried by Fox broadcast affiliates) had a special with Ken Paxton, guest judge, on trial, jury, makes no diff, does the station have to give equal time to James Talarico.

TMZ Live, if they have Talrico on, does the Fox affiliate have to give Paxton time?

Or, does the 700 Club, that syndicated weird religious fake news program, if they interview Paxton, is the station required to give equal time to Talrico?

Dr Phil Primetime: One on One with Donald Trump aired in 2024 in several broadcast markets, did they have to give Biden/Harris equal time.

That's a good spread of entertainment through the faux seriousness spectrum. The only answer to any of these now is we'd have to find out because shits different. Some of those are not actually hypotheticals, we used to know the answer from past precedent, some we wouldn't know unless the candidates cared to ask. We definitely know the FCC didn't go bulldogging their party's opposition. Can national programs be broadcast safely with political candidates in them, and does the answer depend on which team they play for.

There are corrections to gravity that include the current size of the Universe as s term that gives extremely small differences in calculations but explains most observations.

It has a certain allure from an Information Theory perspective and is extremely parsimonious in ask.

But funding is for finding wimps and axons and evidence of mysteries that use the old equations so you are called crazy if your simple theory threatens that gravy train.

Some people say useful physics is too dangerous to fund and we're better off wasting time and money.

Twenty years ago Dark Energy seemed like a good idea to me. So did Supersymmetry. Most new ideas that can be tested and used or disproved probably should be. That LHC found no Supersymmetric pairs is a good thing.
