Dude!! Think about what happened in February - that has to be the most inconsequential and incomplete state of the union speech I can possibly imagine. Within days he attacks Iran and just destroys everything of substance a real state of the union would've covered. All the low fuel prices, great economy, poof. Gone. I'm not very old, but I can't remember a bigger waste of time SotU speech than this one in 2026.
Anyways back on topic I agree w/ sibling AC, nothing Trump/MAGA idiots can say has merit as long as right wing AM talk radio is the most biased ridiculous thing to possibly exist soaking up the "public" air waves. And further, the main stream media IS NOT something of or from the left at all. It's maybe centrist and maybe right wing/corporate. But it's not left.
I realized I wasn't a Republican when I'd listen to right wing talk radio and just get fuming mad at the utter stupidity I'd hear during the Bush and early Obama years. I moved on and listened to NPR. They're dumb too and say stupid things, but I would get less angry at the radio. And there were less advertisements. I'm still not a Democrat yet, but man, Trump is sure pushing me closer. Where's the fiscal conservatives at? Where's the I-hate-Hunter-Biden anti corruption Republicans at? It's dire.

When, or perhaps if, AI "falters" do you think Republicans will have an ounce of self reflection after all the screaming they've just "performed" about Socialism and Communism? Trump has already taken public ownership of companies and would surely use it as an excuse to take more when he bails them out. I'm sure he'll frame it as the only rational thing to do and a good deal. We should all hope and pray it crumbles in 2028 before the election so it'll feel like 2008 again.

Free speech includes lying.

Merit should always consider strictly value.

The $5K a year just gives you a $300 per person per visit discount. So pays itself back in 15 visits or so.

Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

Doesn't seem fair, does it...

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

From what I can tell, this was patched months ago. Why is it a big splashy deal starting yesterday?

Rutgers had an interesting breakdown for the reasons: https://bloustein.rutgers.edu/...

Higher costs and regulations are certainly a factor, but Samsung already has operations in Texas. It makes sense to consolidate those in these uncertain times.

Is it wrong to feel okay with Russia complaining about hacking for a change?

Which four words are we supposed to remember?

Airbus's fly-by-wire system meant that the position of the throttle lever indicated a falsehood as to the throttle setting.

A family member works for law enforcement in the camera and data department, and uses Flock cameras all the time, for all kinds of crime. They have proved very useful and have improved the departments efficiency tremendously.

All access to the software is logged, and every access has to be reported and attached to investigations.

I personally do not want a surveillance state, but it seems silly to ignore technology that improves law enforcement and saves money at the same time. As long as strict controls are in place, which do not allow abuse, and it remains within the strict uses outlined by law, why not?
