It should be easy to come up with 20 or so Vanity Pieces like "Melania".

Can they do re-releases? There are probably a few Trump related movies they could get cheap 1/ Ask A Porn Star: Describe Donald Trump (2017), 2/Donald Trump Sex Tape - A XXX Parody (2016), 3/ Ivy Lior Meets "Donald Trumps Nephew" And Gets Fucked Hard (2023). This doesn't include the 2 that he was IN.

Comment Re:Ivermectin is better (Score 1) 209

I'm friends with a couple who took their 6 year old daughter to go live in a country with malaria endemic for a year. Docs put the kid on ivermectin for the whole time. Zero side effects. I don't get what the big deal was with this during covid. Does it work for covid?

Ivermectin doesn't affect the parasite that the mosquitoes give you to cause malaria. It kills the mosquitos after they have bitten you. So if everyone has ivermectin the mosquito population drops. One person having it is no detectable effect. Hydroxychloroquine on the other hand protects you from the parasite and therefore malaria. Are you sure you haven't mixed them up?

The mRNA vaccines developed for the covid weapon were designed to make people more docile, increase perpensity to exhaustion, and squash independent thought through depletion of energy. Basically, it's designed to make people more compliant so they'll just go to work and not have any energy to do anything else.

If that were true there would be increasing numbers of MAGA rather than decreasing numbers.

In some cases they are delusional. I recently saw an exchange where someone was triumphantly claiming that 35% of people who had COVID-19 shots died from the vaccine. I don't think they even felt stupid when it was pointed out to them that this would literally mean 1/4 of the population of the planet would have to have died given 5.6 billion people got the vaccine.

Some brains aren't firing on all neurons.

With those numbers more than 95 million Americans would have died.

I have it under good authority that I will die this year before the flu season due to the side effects of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. A Facebook post quoting a Twitter post, quoting a Daily Mail article quoting some kid who dropped out of school but was an expert on VERS has told me so. /s

I heard that was to happen the FIRST flu season after the shots began. There was a viral video about a father trying to bribe his daughter not to take the shot as he didn't want to be alone after the flu season and they were the last two to not have the shot. The only one I know who had the vaccine and has died since then was 89 and died last November. Years after this claim would have had almost everyone I know die (including me of course).

My favourite claim though was that this was Satanic and would change anyone who took the RNA vaccines into Nephilim. I was so looking forward to becoming a giant but still my height is unchanged.

They probably would love to not use SpaceX, but as you said, nobody else exists for the price-to-launch SpaceX is selling.

At some point petty bullshit gives way to getting the job done, if you are running a business. See: Tesla still using AWS.

Without Bezos running Amazon the ego level against using the cheaper launch system is reduced. Stock holders forced them through the courts to buy some already. Legal pressure will build if they don't start putting up large numbers of satellites as they already have missed their first deadline to have the first half of the Leo satellites up and if they miss the second they will have to do more explaining to not lose their launch license. They are also have new constellations on top of Leo.

Where will they get the launches for 1000s of satellites if not SpaceX? New Glenn is grounded due to the explosion. They can't fly without persuading the FAA that the problem is solved (and rebuilding the launch site). Vulcan is also grounded because the SRBs have had repeated problems AND the BE-4s that seem to be the source of the New Glenn explosion. They have to convince the FAA that both problems are solved. Arianne 6 just doesn't have the launch cadence.

SpaceX has a proven ability to launch many times a year with Falcon 9. Assuming they start using Starship to launch Starlink V3 by year end (and it may be by the end of August) they will have lots of surplus launch ability to use with Falcon 9.

Elon builds rockets, Bezos wants to. Elon builds sat/mobile networks, Bezos wants to. Wanna-be.

Bezos founded BO two years before Musk founded SpaceX. Back then he was far more wealthy than Musk.

Year 2000 Bezos had $4.7 billion, 2002 $1.8 billion (Amazon stock price dropped)

Year 2002 Musk had $180 million

So Bezos started first and had more money. BO has made 3 orbital flights only 1 of which seems to have been fully successful

Musk starting later with less money now dominates the industry. His Falcon 9 has had over 660 successful launches.

Does look like Bezos is the wannabe.

Enabling normal people, not only mega corporations, to make derivative works from books after five years would encourage creativity, the purpose of copyright. Get a brain, moran.

With a copyright of 5 years publishers would just wait 5 years and a day and then publish your submitted work and not pay you. Then authors can't make a living as authors.

Comment TJ Bass Companion Cybers (Score 1) 106

In The Godwhale and Half Past Human novels by TJ Bass, companion cybers were human level intelligence advisors that at least some humans carried. The two I remember are "belt" which was exactly that a wide belt and toothpick a "javelin" about 3' long. There was a less portable one called "ball" that was a basketball sized "crystal ball" as well. They were very logical and well educated advisors and did not "appear" to be reporting all your activities unless they had to to get you necessary help. These books were published in 1971 and 1974 so he was about 50 years ahead in predicting this.

Even though exactly what was initially copied by IBM that was uniquely SCO content was never really made clear by SCO despite years of legal maneuvering.

One of the things they accused IBM of putting into Linux was NEVER IN LINUX. It was rejected by the Linux maintainers AND it was SCOG that tried to put it in Linux not IBM.

SCOG also claimed that IBM converted a list of SCOG customers to Linux. Unfortunately IBM had all the press releases from SCOG BOASTING about how they had converted those customers to Linux.
