That kind of requirement is going to kill an already over burdened grid in many places.

Has any lawyer ever been 100% correct ?

If you are stupid enough to ask ChatGPT for health advice you fail, and get what you deserve. This could be an overall positive for the Earth. Fewer morons...

I've been reshuffling my retirement savings to mimimize exposure to tech stocks. All mining and Agriculture, because by my reckoning, no matter what happens people will still need to dig holes and eat food. Fairly safe imho.

caveat: Not american agriculture however. Those Tarifs are doing *stupid shit* to the sector.

Theres actually a better reason to drink in moderation.

Because its fun.

And life is too fucking short and you only get it once, and living it in misery is not fucking worth it. If my life is 5 years shorter and 5 times as fun, well, seems like a good trade off to me.

I worked for Bof A in the 80's. We had ashtrays on top of the tape drives in the data center in SF. Of course they also had a bar on the 8th floor that only employees could get to. God bless the Top Hat.

The fairness doctrine was a lot more narrow than that. It was specifically around electoral politics and making sure that when there was an election on that the media doesnt blockade non prefered parties from getting their platform out. The FCC never interpreted it to mean shit like "Every time nasa is on TV, you must also have a moon landing denier" or whatver.

Yeah, we're looking at pulling our manufacturing out of the US because its just too much bullshit and risk right now. Add that to the tariffs making the US about the most expensive place to manufacture on the planet right now, our international staff getting monstered at the airports and the fact that the economy seems to be an absolute basket case at the moment, yeah the risks are too high. And thats not even touching on the fact that we cant bring commercial-in-confidence information into the country because ICE keep fucking with peoples computers, its just a hostile environment for business.

Someone commented much the same in our "group" the other day. 7 people, 2 sharing a joint, 3 vaping themselves, 1 chewing gummies and 1 drinking an infused soda. The social part of the circle suffers from not passing the J around, having everyone focused on it waiting their turn.

Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Yeah and sadly the same evolutionary drive made mine too large to fit in that tiny F'n hole.

They of course pick Abu Dhabi. Just in case they run over someone, it will likely be a dirt poor peasant that won't be missed...

Theres actually pretty strong evidence from cognitive science that theres actual physical brain differences in people with inclinations towards ultraconservative authoritarianism. Basically a failure to properly integrate information that conflicts with their ideological inclination that manifests in fear and anger, and yeah, this always seems to incline towards authoritarians.

Theres an old documentary from, either late 90s or early 2000s about the rise of the neocon movement called "The power of nightmares" that observed that historically politicians tried to sell people on big dreams, but in both western neoconservatism and eastern islamism politicans switched to selling a battle again the evils of liberalism by constantly trying to scare people. The only differences being the islamists claimed the devil was foreign (america/israel) and the neocons claimed the devil was local (gays/"communists"/liberals/etc)

Maybe this will cause a boom in the pencil industry.
Gotta rewind the sag out somehow...

If someone is commissioning a billion dollar GPU scale-up and not asking "Can this thing play Crysis" , then one is GPUing wrong.
