I was about to make a comment that you had to prove you are a US citizen to get a RealID, but then found that it is for identity only, not citizenship.

https://factually.co/fact-chec...

"The REAL ID regime sets federal minimum standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cards and requires applicants to present documentary proof of identity and lawful status, but the card itself does not definitively prove U.S. citizenship because compliant REAL IDs may be issued to noncitizens with lawful presence [1] [2] [3]. Practical proof of U.S. citizenship remains specific documents — U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship, or state-issued enhanced driver’s licenses in some states — and those documents, not the REAL ID star, are what federal and administrative processes treat as evidence of citizenship [1] [4] [5]."

Let's call them "Gooboo"

This will get kicked down the road again, just like RealID (so important to airline security after all) was kicked down the road 20+ years.

Only idiots would think that the biggest troll on the world stage wouldn't use a Nazi salute.

Hold on, did a journalist make Musk do a seig heil?

A news reporter took over Musk's twitter and called a rescue worker a pedo?

It was totally CNN that forced Musk to mockingly run around with a chainsaw as he was cutting off the livelihoods of countless people!

The only way I can express it is by borrowing a line from (I think) WWII British prime minister Winston Churchill: "The Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing, when all other options have been exhausted."

If it is, then given what the administration's actions have borne out time and again, their intention is to put in their own people, so they can get their cut... no matter how much damage it does.

This reminds me of the line from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" when Dr. Jones (the elder one) is asked about something regarding the grail contained in his diary (at that point being in the possession of the Nazis) but he couldn't remember it. When given the scornful "what do you mean you don't remember?" look, his reply is "I wrote it down in my diary so I wouldn't HAVE to remember!"

The key phrase is "if used correctly." Part of that is knowing when to look something up "in the moment you want to know them," and when looking up a particular thing can wait until later. Too often I see searches being made for answers to questions that don't warrant an immediate answer, interrupting the ongoing conversation or activity, or even diverting the whole train of thought onto a dead-end side spur completely unrelated to the original topic.

If it's germane to the present topic, then sure, look it up. If not, it can wait. If you forget to look it up later, then it wasn't that important.

This is called "Slashdot Editors Not Doing Their Jobs." Another example is the story headline: "How Teachers Fight Students' Shortening Attention Spans *(missing a : here)* Shorter Activities, Hands-On Projects, and Meditation."

That was my first thought too.

The conference is to explore ways to *wind down* the use of fossil fuels. The wells aren't being shut off next Tuesday.

figuring out how to get off the oil fossil fuel teat is going to take a long time, and it has to start somewhere. If not now, when? Five years? Ten years? When somebody decides to make the Strait of Hormuz completely and permanently impassible? Why not start now?

"Done more for": No
Done more to? Maybe

His entire empire is based of of exploitation of inequality of economic power in the most extreme ways.

U.S. median household income is about $84k. Typical personal savings rate is 4% of income. Modern capitalism regularly wipes out gains entirely every decade or two, so we'll ignore interest for the sake of simplicity. So, the typical American household would save about $3.3k a year. It would take roughly 66 million years to reach Jeff Bezos’s net worth.

So yeah, some people will use billionaire as a "snarl word".

Why are you out here trying to do Bezos' PR for free? He's not going to pick you.
